Privacy Policy for Dinify

Effective date: 07/13/2026  |  Last updated: 07/13/2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Dini Ilm ("we", "us", "our") handles information in connection with the Dinify mobile application (the "App"). We built Dinify to respect your privacy: it does not require an account, and your personal religious activity is stored on your own device. We collect as little as possible.

1. No Account and On-Device Data

You can use Dinify without registering or signing in. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or contacts. The content you create in the App — such as prayer and fasting logs, deeds, routines, dua/gratitude/sadaqah journals, tasbih counts, Hifz (memorization) progress, bookmarks, and settings — is stored locally on your device. We do not upload, sync, or store this content on our servers.

2. Information Processed to Provide Features

• Location (approximate and/or precise): used only to calculate prayer times, the Qibla direction, your local Hijri date, and to find nearby mosques. To do this, your coordinates are sent to third-party prayer-time and mapping providers (see Section 5). We do not store your location.
• Microphone / Audio and Speech Recognition: captured only while you actively use a voice feature (voice-counted tasbih/dhikr, recitation checking during memorization, and voice search). Your speech is processed by your device's speech-recognition service to convert it to text (see Sections 4 and 5). We do not record, keep, or upload audio ourselves.
• Device motion / magnetometer sensors: used on your device to point the Qibla compass. This sensor data is not transmitted off your device.

3. Analytics and Crash Reporting

The App does not include any third-party analytics or advertising software development kits (SDKs). We do not track your behavior across apps or build advertising profiles. Because the App is distributed through Google Play, Google may automatically collect basic, aggregated crash and performance diagnostics (Android Vitals) under its own policies to help developers fix stability issues; this is standard for all Android apps and is not personally identifying.

4. Device Permissions

The App requests only the permissions needed for the features you use. You can grant or revoke any of them at any time in your device settings; features that rely on a denied permission simply will not work.

• Microphone (Record Audio): for voice tasbih counting, recitation checking, and voice search.
• Speech Recognition: to transcribe your voice into text for the features above.
• Location (coarse and fine): for prayer times, Qibla, the local Hijri date, and nearby mosques.
• Notifications and Alarms (exact alarm): to deliver the Adhan and reminders you schedule.
• Foreground Service / Media Playback and Wake Lock: to keep Quran audio playing in the background and on the lock screen while you listen.
• Storage / Files: to save your content and cache Quran and Hadith text and media on your device for offline use.

5. Third-Party Services and APIs

To deliver its core functionality, the App connects to trusted third-party services and application programming interfaces (APIs). When a feature you use requires it, the minimum necessary data (for example, your location, a search term, or text/audio you provide) is transmitted to the relevant provider only to fulfill that request.

Translation and speech input (please note): When you use translation or voice features, your input (text and/or audio) is transmitted to third-party API providers specifically for translation and speech-to-text purposes. Text you choose to translate is sent to third-party translation APIs, and your voice audio is sent to your device's/operating system's speech-recognition provider to be converted into text. This data sharing is required for the core functionality of the App — these features cannot work without transmitting your input to those providers. Your input is used only to perform the requested translation or transcription; we do not use it for advertising.

The categories of third-party services the App uses include:

• Translation providers — to translate learning content and text into your chosen language.
• Speech-recognition provider — your device's speech service (e.g., provided by your operating system vendor), to transcribe voice input.
• Prayer-time and geolocation providers — to return prayer times and resolve place names from coordinates.
• Quran and Hadith content providers — to fetch Quran text and audio and Hadith collections and translations.
• Media hosting (CDN) — to deliver Mushaf page images, reciter photos, prayer-guide images, and audio.
• Map data providers — to locate mosques near you.
• Backend content service — to fetch supplementary audio content; this is accessed anonymously and receives no personal data from you.

Each provider processes data under its own privacy policy. We do not sell your personal information.

6. In-App Browser (Dini Aalim)

The "Dini Aalim" feature opens a trusted Islamic scholarly website inside an in-app browser so you can read answers on that site. When you use it, your request goes directly to that third-party website, which operates under its own privacy policy. We do not copy or store its content.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

Content you create stays on your device for as long as the App is installed. You can delete it at any time within the App, by clearing the App's storage in your device settings, or by uninstalling the App, which removes all locally stored data and caches.

8. Security

We apply reasonable technical measures to protect information handled by the App, and network requests to third-party services are made over secure connections (HTTPS) where supported. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age at which data consent is required in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us.

10. Your Rights

Because your personal content is stored locally, you control it directly and can view or delete it on your device. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights over personal data; contact us to exercise them.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
