Falah

Privacy Policy

Falah — Islamic prayer, Quran and worship companion

Effective date: 20 August 2026 · Version 1.0

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how Falah (the “App”, “we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use the App and related services. The App is owned and operated by Maksym Dziubenko (the “Owner”). You can contact us at any time at [email protected].

Falah is a utility and information app that provides prayer times, the call to prayer (adhan), Qibla direction, the Quran, supplications (dua), dhikr, an Islamic (Hijri) calendar, worship tracking, and related religious features across multiple Islamic schools and denominations.

2. Our privacy approach

We are built to collect as little as possible. The App does not require you to create an account, does not show advertisements, and does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to data brokers or advertisers. Most of your data — your settings, your selected school (madhhab/denomination), your prayer and fasting logs, streaks, bookmarks, and tasbih counts — is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to us.

3. Information we process

3.1 Information stored on your device. Your selected school/denomination, calculation method, notification and adhan settings, prayer and fasting logs, qada ledger, streaks, Quran bookmarks and reading progress, tasbih counts, and other in-app preferences. This information stays on your device unless a feature you enable requires sending part of it to a third-party service listed in Section 4.

3.2 Location data. Approximate GPS coordinates or a manually selected city, used solely to compute prayer times, Qibla, and calendar dates via the AlAdhan API (see Section 4).

3.3 Content requests. When you read the Quran, view a translation, generate a shareable verse image, open a dua, the 99 Names, or word-by-word content, the App requests that content from third-party content APIs. These requests contain the item you asked for (for example, a surah or verse identifier), not information that identifies you.

3.4 Zakat calculator. If you use the Zakat calculator, the asset and liability amounts you enter may be transmitted to the content provider to compute your obligation using current precious-metal prices. These figures are not linked to your identity; do not enter information that could identify you.

3.5 Contact form. If you contact us through our contact form, we process the name, email address, and message you submit. This is delivered to us through Web3Forms (see Section 4) and used only to respond to you.

3.6 Purchases. If you subscribe to a paid plan, the purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store. We receive confirmation of your subscription status but never receive or store your payment card details.

3.7 Diagnostics. We may process limited, aggregated, non-identifying diagnostic and usage information to keep the App stable and improve it. This does not include your name, precise location history, or advertising identifiers.

4. Third-party services we rely on

The App uses the following third-party services to provide its features. Each provider processes only what is described below and under its own privacy policy.

Provider privacy policies: Apple · Web3Forms · AlAdhan · Quran.com · Al Quran Cloud.

5. How we use information

• To provide core features: prayer times, adhan, Qibla, calendar, Quran, dua, tracking.
• To remember your preferences and worship history on your device.
• To process your subscription through Apple and unlock premium features.
• To respond to your messages sent through the contact form.
• To maintain security, prevent abuse, and keep the App stable.
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not use your information for advertising, ad targeting, or sale to third parties.

6. Sensitive information and consent

Because Falah is a religious app, your use of it may reveal information about your religious beliefs, and your selection of a school or denomination is by nature sensitive. This information is intrinsic to how the App works. By choosing to use Falah, you consent to the processing described in this Policy for the purpose of providing these religious features. If you do not wish this information to be processed, please do not use the App. Your denomination selection and worship logs are stored on your device.

7. Data retention

Data stored on your device remains until you delete it or uninstall the App. Contact-form messages are retained only as long as needed to handle your enquiry. Subscription status is retained while your subscription is active and as required by law. We do not maintain server-side profiles of your worship activity.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in the EU/EEA/UK or the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal information, and to data portability. Because most data is stored on your device, you can exercise many of these rights directly by editing or deleting your data in the App or uninstalling it. For anything we hold (such as contact-form messages), email [email protected] and we will respond as required by law. California residents: we do not “sell” or “share” personal information as those terms are defined under California law.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the limited data we process. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please keep your device and its operating system up to date.

10. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the higher minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. International transfers

The third-party services we use may process data in countries other than yours. Where required by law, appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) apply to such transfers.

12. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The current version will always be available in the App or on our website, and material changes will be indicated by updating the effective date above. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

For religious rulings, consult a qualified scholar.

6. Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services (including the AlAdhan API, Quran.com API, Al Quran Cloud API, UmmahAPI, Apple, and Web3Forms) to deliver its features. Your use of features that depend on these services is also subject to those providers’ terms. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of third-party services, and features may change if a provider changes or discontinues its service.

7. Intellectual property

The App, its design, branding, and original content are owned by the Owner and protected by intellectual-property laws.

You may not use any of these materials except as permitted by these Terms or applicable law.

8. User conduct

You agree to use the App respectfully and lawfully, and not to use it in any way that could harm the App, its providers, or other users, or that disparages or incites discord between communities of any Islamic school or denomination.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you breach these Terms or use the App unlawfully. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it.

13. Apple-specific terms
