Privacy Policy for Al-Bayan Quran

Effective Date: February 27, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to the Al-Bayan Quran mobile application for Android. By downloading and using Al-Bayan Quran, you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. We are committed to protecting your privacy, ensuring absolute transparency, and complying fully with Google Play Store Developer Policies.

Data Collection and Usage

Our primary principle is data minimization. We only request the permissions and data absolutely necessary to provide you with a fully functional and reliable Islamic application.

• No Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Al-Bayan Quran does not collect, store, transmit, or require any personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address) for its core functionality. You can use the application entirely anonymously.

Location Data

To provide accurate, real-time prayer schedules based on your geographic position, Al-Bayan Quran requires access to your device's location.

• Foreground and Background Access: The app collects Location data both when the app is in use (foreground) and when it is closed or not in use (background). This continuous access is strictly necessary to calculate highly accurate, localized prayer (Salat) times throughout the day and night.
• Strictly Confidential: This location data is processed solely for the purpose of calculating prayer times and Qibla direction. This data is completely private; it is never sold, leased, or shared with any third-party networks, advertisers, or data brokers under any circumstances.

Device Permissions and Background Services

To ensure you never miss a prayer, Al-Bayan Quran utilizes specific Android system permissions to deliver timely alerts.

• Alarms & Background Audio: The application relies on background services and exact alarms (utilizing the SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission). This specific permission is strictly required to reliably trigger and play custom Azan (call to prayer) audio notifications precisely at your scheduled local prayer times, even if your device is locked, asleep, or the app is not actively open on your screen.

Content and Educational Purpose

Al-Bayan Quran is designed primarily as an educational and spiritual resource for the community.

• App Content: The application provides access to standard Quranic text. Specifically, it features the esteemed Urdu translation by Allama Ahmad Saeed Kazmi. This content is integrated purely for public educational benefit, facilitating a deeper and more accessible understanding of the Quran for Urdu-speaking users worldwide.

Data Security

We value your trust in using our application. Because we do not collect PII and process sensitive permissions like Location strictly for localized, temporary calculations, the risk to your personal data is inherently minimal. We utilize standard security practices to protect the integrity of the app and your local device settings.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in Google Play Store policies, app updates, or legal requirements. We will notify users of any significant changes by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this document. We advise you to review this page periodically for any changes.
