Namaz Vakti — Prayer Times · Last updated 18 June 2026

Namaz Vakti (“the app”) shows Muslim prayer times and the direction of the Qibla. It is built to respect your privacy: the app has no user accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no servers operated by the developer. This policy explains what the app does with information on your device.

Information the app does not collect

The developer does not collect, store, sell, or share any personal information. There is no sign-up, no tracking across apps or websites, and no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs in the app.

Location

If you turn on Automatic location (or use the Qibla compass), the app uses your device’s location only while you are using the app (“When In Use”) to:

• determine your city/district so it can show the correct prayer times, and
• calculate the bearing from where you are to the Kaaba in Mecca for the Qibla compass.

Your coordinates are processed on your device and through Apple’s built-in geocoding service (CLGeocoder) to turn them into a place name; this is handled by Apple under Apple’s privacy policy. Your precise location is never sent to the developer and is not stored off your device. You can use the app without location by choosing a city manually (Pinned mode), and you can revoke location access at any time in iOS Settings.

Prayer-time data

Prayer times come from the public EzanVakti service, which republishes the official tables of the Turkish Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet). To fetch a month of times, the app sends only a district identifier (the city you selected or that was matched from your location) to ezanvakti.emushaf.net. No personal information is included in that request. Downloaded times are cached locally on your device so the app works offline and makes fewer requests.

Notifications

If you enable prayer-time notifications, they are scheduled locally on your device by iOS. No push servers and no notification data are involved.

Children

The app does not collect personal information from anyone, including children, and contains no objectionable content.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this page with a new “last updated” date.
