Qiyam Privacy Policy
Last updated: 26 September 2026
Qiyam is an Android app that shows Islamic prayer times, schedules reminders before each Iqamah, can play the Adhan, points to the Qibla, and provides Quran reading, memorisation and dhikr tools. This policy describes what the app does and does not do with your information.
The short version
The app has no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Everything you enter stays on your device. The only data that ever leaves your phone is a pair of coordinates sent to a prayer-times service, normally about once a year — and, only if you choose the IndoPak Quran script, a one-time download of its font.
What stays on your device
All of the following is stored locally in Android's app storage and is never transmitted anywhere:
- Your Iqamah gaps, reminder offset, calculation method and per-prayer Adhan corrections
- Your alert, sound, Adhan, Jumu'ah, Ramadan and display settings
- Your chosen location (coordinates and label)
- Prayer log entries and streaks
- Quran bookmarks, last-read position and reader preferences
- Memorisation progress
- Dhikr counters and totals
This data is removed when you uninstall the app. There is no cloud backup and no way for the developer to see it.
What is sent off the device
Prayer times. The app sends your latitude and longitude to the AlAdhan API
(api.aladhan.com) to get the prayer timetable for your location. Coordinates
are rounded to four decimal places. No identifier, device information or account is
attached to the request, so it cannot be linked back to you. Results are cached on your
device a year at a time, so this normally happens once after you set your location and then
not again for months. The app works with no connection at all in the meantime.
The IndoPak Quran font — only if you choose it. The IndoPak script's font is
downloaded once from Quran Foundation (verses.quran.foundation) the first time
you select IndoPak in the Quran reader. Like any download, this reveals your IP address to
that server; nothing about you or your use of the app is sent with it. If you never choose
IndoPak, this never happens.
Nothing else is sent. The Quran text in both scripts, the translations, search, the 99 Names and the Qibla calculation are all included in the app and need no network.
AlAdhan is a third-party service with its own policy: aladhan.com
Permissions and why they are needed
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Location (fine / coarse) | To calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction for where you are. Optional — you can pick a city or type coordinates instead and never grant it. |
| Notifications | To show prayer reminders and play the Adhan. |
| Exact alarms | So reminders fire at the right minute rather than whenever Android next wakes the device. |
| Run at startup | To restore your scheduled reminders after the phone restarts. |
| Vibrate, wake lock | So an alert can be felt and can wake the screen. |
Location is used only while you are actively using the app or when you tap to detect it. The app does not track your location in the background.
Children
The app collects no personal data and is suitable for all ages.
Changes
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above changes with it.
