Boussole Qibla  ·  com.haythemstudio.qiblafr

Publisher: Haythem Studio  ·  Last updated: 13 August 2026

In one sentence

This application collects no personal data, creates no account and transmits nothing to any server belonging to us.

What is stored on your phone

The application saves locally, in its private space:

This data never leaves the device. It disappears when you uninstall the application or clear its data.

Location

This application requests access to your approximate or precise location for one purpose only: to compute the direction of the Qibla and the prayer times for the place where you are. Both calculations are impossible without geographic coordinates.

What happens to your location

The permission is requested as soon as you open the application, because the Qibla is the tab it starts on and the direction cannot be computed without it. You may refuse it: the application stays usable, you pick a city from a list, and the Hijri calendar, the 99 names and the prayer beads work without any location at all.

You can revoke this permission at any time in the Android settings of your phone. Clearing the data of the application removes the last stored location.

Notifications

If you enable prayer reminders, the application schedules local notifications at the time of each prayer. These notifications are computed and displayed on your device only: no server is contacted, and no notification content is sent to a third party.

You can disable these reminders in the Prayers tab, or revoke the notification permission in the Android settings.

Advertising

This application displays no advertising and embeds no advertising SDK. No advertising identifier is read, and no ad network receives any information about you.

In-app purchases

This application offers no in-app purchase and no subscription. All of its features are available without paying.

Children

This application is not primarily directed at children under thirteen and knowingly collects no data about them. If you believe a child has sent us data, write to us and we will delete it.

Permissions requested

PermissionWhy
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATIONCompute the Qibla direction and the prayer times for your location. The calculation is local; the position is never transmitted.
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATIONCompute the Qibla direction and the prayer times for your location. The calculation is local; the position is never transmitted.
POST_NOTIFICATIONSDisplay the prayer reminders you have enabled. The notification is built on the device; no server is contacted.
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARMFire the reminder at the exact prayer time. Android only guarantees the minute with this permission; without it the reminder still arrives, but late.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETEDReprogram the reminders after the phone restarts. Android erases pending alarms on shutdown; without this they would silently stop.
VIBRATEVibrate the phone at prayer time, if you chose that alert mode rather than sound.

Your rights

Since no personal data is collected by the publisher, there is nothing to consult, correct or delete on our side. You keep full control: clearing the data of the application in the Android settings removes everything it has stored.

If you live in the European Union, the United Kingdom, California or Canada, the rights granted by your local legislation apply in full. Write to us with any question.

Changes

Any change to this policy will be published on this page, with an updated date. A significant change will be announced in the release notes of the application.
