Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 1, 2024

At DeenCal, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our services. By using DeenCal, you agree to the collection and use of your information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We are committed to safeguarding your privacy. When you use DeenCal, we do not collect or store any personally identifiable information (PII) without your consent. The only data that is gathered is related to the operation of the app, such as location data for prayer times, and this is done on a strictly voluntary basis.

  • Location Data: We may request access to your location to provide you with accurate prayer times based on your geographic location. This data is used temporarily for the sole purpose of enhancing the prayer experience and is not stored or shared.
  • User Inputs: If you choose to input any personal data (such as location preferences or time settings), it is processed securely and only used to personalize your experience on the app.

2. How We Use Your Information

Any data we collect is used to improve the services we provide and ensure a personalized, seamless experience for you. Specifically, we use your location and input data for the following purposes:

  • To provide accurate prayer times based on your location.
  • To customize the experience and offer relevant information based on your preferences.

We do not sell, share, or rent any of your data to third parties.

3. Data Retention

DeenCal does not retain any personal or private data beyond the duration of your session. Any data collected for location-based services is used in real-time and is not stored in any permanent database. We take great care to ensure that your data is never retained unnecessarily.

4. Cookies and Tracking

DeenCal does not use cookies or tracking technologies to collect personal information or to track your activities outside of the app. Our app may use temporary storage to improve functionality during your session, but once you leave the app or close it, all session data is discarded.

5. Third-Party Services

DeenCal may integrate with third-party services (such as Google Maps for geolocation) to provide enhanced functionality. However, these third-party services have their own privacy policies that govern the data they collect and use. We encourage you to review these policies for more information on how your data is handled outside of DeenCal.

6. Security

We are committed to protecting your data. Although we do not store personally identifiable information, we employ reasonable security measures to protect any data processed through DeenCal. These measures include encryption of data in transit and ensuring our app is updated with the latest security patches.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, update, and delete any personal data that you choose to provide while using DeenCal. Since we do not store personal data permanently, there is no need for you to request deletion of such information. If you ever wish to stop using our app, you can uninstall it at any time.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make changes, the updated policy will be reflected on this page with a new effective date. Please check this page periodically for any updates.
