TL;DR: Salamly does not collect any personal data. We use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics for anonymous usage stats and crash reports — no personal identifiers are ever collected or shared.
1. Information We Collect
Salamly is designed with a privacy-first approach. We collect the absolute minimum data necessary for the app to function:
📍 Location Data
Used only on your device to calculate prayer times and Qibla direction. Your location is never sent to any server or third party.
⚙️ App Preferences
Settings like your preferred calculation method, theme, and language are stored locally on your device using DataStore.
🔖 Bookmarks & Reading Progress
Your Quran bookmarks and reading progress are stored in a local database on your device. They are never uploaded anywhere.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
- We do not collect your name, email, or any personally identifiable information
- We do not track individual user behavior or create user profiles
- We do not serve advertisements
- We do not send your location to any server
- We do not share personal data with third parties
- We do not collect your Quran reading history, bookmarks, or any in-app content
Note: Anonymous usage analytics and crash reports are sent to Firebase (Google). These contain no personal identifiers. See section 5 for details.
3. Data Storage
All data is stored locally on your device. Salamly uses:
- DataStore — for app preferences and settings
- Room Database — for Quran bookmarks
- Local files — for Quran text and translation data bundled with the app
No data is synced to any cloud service. If you uninstall the app, all local data is deleted.
4. Permissions
Salamly requests the following device permissions:
| Permission | Purpose | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Prayer times & Qibla direction | Optional |
| Notifications | Prayer time reminders | Optional |
You can deny any permission. The app will still work — some features may be limited without location access.
5. Third-Party Services
Salamly uses the following third-party services provided by Google:
📊 Firebase Analytics
Collects anonymous usage data (screen views, session duration, device type, country) to help us understand how the app is used and prioritize improvements. No personal information is collected.
🛠️ Firebase Crashlytics
Automatically reports anonymous crash data (stack traces, device model, OS version) so we can identify and fix bugs quickly. No personal information is included.
Salamly does not use any advertising, social media tracking, or user profiling services. For details on how Firebase handles data, see Firebase Privacy and our Data & Security page.
6. Children's Privacy
Salamly does not collect any data from anyone, including children. The app is safe for users of all ages.
7. Changes to This Policy
If we update this policy, the changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Since we collect no data, changes are unlikely.
