The short version
Islam Times is built to work on your device. Prayer times are calculated locally, your settings stay on your device, and we do not sell data or show ads.
Location
If you grant location access, your coordinates are used on your device to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction. When you use a calculation method that relies on the Aladhan API, your coordinates are sent to that service to fetch timings; they are not stored by us. You can always pick a location manually instead.
Account
Creating an account in the Android app is optional. If you sign in, your email address and synced data (such as bookmarks and settings) are stored with our hosting provider, Supabase, solely to provide sync. You can delete your account from the app at any time, which removes this data.
Notifications
Prayer notifications, Daily Guidance and alarms are scheduled on your device. Your notification preferences, delivery history and prayer schedule never leave your device.
Announcements sent from us (occasional Friday and special-day messages) are the one exception, and they are off until you turn them on during setup or in Settings → Daily Guidance. While they are on, our push provider OneSignal holds a push token for your device plus your app language and whether special-day announcements are enabled — enough to deliver an announcement in your language on the right day, and nothing more. Turning the setting off withdraws that consent and stops the collection. Your location, calculation method and prayer settings are never sent there.
Crash reports
When crash reporting is enabled in a build, the Android app uses Sentry to report crashes and errors so they can be fixed. Reports are stripped of user identifiers and anything location-shaped before they leave the device, performance tracing and session replay are switched off, and console messages are not attached. You can turn crash reports off in Settings → Privacy & data.
Usage analytics in the app
So we can see which parts of the app people actually use, the Android app records the name of each screen you open and a short list of named actions, using PostHog on their EU servers. That is the whole of it: no account, no email, no location, no prayer, notification or calculation settings, and no Quran reading position. No profile is created for you, you are never identified, there is no advertising identifier, session replay is off, and touch tracking is off.
It is on by default and you can turn it off at any time in Settings → Privacy & data, which stops collection on that device immediately. The choice is stored on the device and is deliberately not synced, so turning it off on one phone does not silently change another.
Who processes your data
Four processors, and only for the purposes above: Supabase (account and synced data, only if you sign in), OneSignal (announcements, only if you turn them on), Sentry (crash reports), and PostHog (anonymous usage analytics, EU servers, until you turn it off). The Aladhan API receives coordinates when you use a calculation method that needs it. There are no advertising SDKs, no ad or cross-app identifiers, and we do not sell or share your data for advertising.
Analytics on this website
The website uses Vercel Analytics, which is cookie-free and does not track you across sites. It is separate from the app’s usage analytics described above.
