1. Introduction

Welcome to the Darul Huda app, a tool designed to help users with resources for help with and relating to Darul Huda. This Privacy Policy explains how the app interacts with your data, the permissions it requests, and the measures in place (if any) to protect your information. By using our app, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

 

2. Data Collection and Use

Location Data

• Usage: The app accesses your device’s location to provide updates that are relevant to your locality such as prayer times or Qibla direction.

• Data Handling: Your location data is used only temporarily during app operation. It is neither stored nor transmitted to external servers.

Calendar Access

• Usage: The app requests access to your device’s calendar in order to add events related to Darul Huda.

• Data Handling: The app will only add new events to your calendar. It does not read, modify, or remove any of your existing calendar events, nor does it store or transmit calendar data on external servers.

User Preferences

• Usage: The app saves some non-sensitive user preferences and notifications locally on your device to enhance your experience.

• Data Handling: Since this information is stored locally and is not private or sensitive, there are no additional security measures beyond standard platform protections.

Non-identifying Technical Information

• The Darul Huda app does not collect non-identifying data such as device IDs, crash logs, or usage analytics.

 

3. Third-Party Integrations

• The app does not integrate with or use any third-party services, SDKs, or analytics platforms (such as Firebase, Google Analytics, or ad networks) that might collect or process your data.

 

4. User Interaction and Permissions

User Interaction

• Account and Registration: The app does not support user registration, login, or the creation of user accounts.

• Sharing Functions: Users are able to share specific information pages or the apps’ store pages, but no additional personal data is exchanged during these actions.

Permissions Requested

The app requests the following permissions to provide its functionality:

• Location: For prayer times and Qibla direction

• Calendar: To add reminders for upcoming events and holidays.

• Notifications: To set up alerts for prayer times.

• Background Fetch: To schedule and retrieve daily updates for prayer times.

Each permission is used solely to enhance your experience within the app and will not be used to collect or store any personal data beyond what is necessary for functionality.

 

5. Data Storage and Security

• Local Storage: User preferences are stored locally on your device. The app does not store or transmit any sensitive personal information.

• Data Security: Because the data involved is minimal and non-sensitive, there are no additional security measures in place beyond the standard protections provided by your device and operating system.

 

6. Target Audience and Content

• The Darul Huda app is designed for all users. There is no specific age targeting, and the app’s content is intended to be accessible and beneficial to a general audience.

 

7. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our app evolves or as legal requirements change. When significant changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document and, if necessary, notify users through the app or our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
