Athan does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Everything stays on your device.
Athan is an application for macOS, iOS, and Android for Islamic prayer times. It is designed with privacy as a core principle. The app operates entirely on your device and does not communicate with any external servers.
Athan requests access to your location to calculate accurate prayer times based on where you are. This data is:
You can deny location access at any time in your device's settings. The app will continue to function if you have previously allowed location access, using the last known coordinates.
If you use the optional calendar booking feature, Athan requests access to your device's calendar. This data is:
Calendar access is optional and only requested when you open the booking feature. You can revoke it at any time in your device's settings.
Athan uses your device's notification system to alert you when prayers start or are about to end. Notification content is generated locally and is not sent to any server.
Athan lets you mark prayers as completed throughout the day. This tracking data is stored locally on your device. It is never transmitted, synced, or shared. The data resets daily at Fajr time.
Your settings (calculation method, madhab, display preferences) are stored locally on your device. This data:
Athan offers an optional one-time in-app purchase for the calendar booking feature. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. Athan does not collect or have access to any payment information.
Athan does not include any analytics frameworks, tracking pixels, advertising SDKs, or crash reporting tools. The app makes zero network requests.
Athan does not use any third-party services. Prayer time calculations are performed on-device using the open-source Adhan library — adhan-swift on macOS and adhan-dart on iOS and Android.
Athan does not collect any data from any user, including children. The app is safe for use by people of all ages.
If this privacy policy is updated, the changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Since Athan collects no data, significant changes are unlikely.
