Privacy

Dawām is published by Ekale Investments Ltd, which is the data controller for anything described here. Contact: [email protected].

Account

Dawām has no account. Ekale Investments Ltd runs no server. The app carries no advertising or analytics software.

Location

Prayer times and the qibla bearing are calculated on the device. Coordinates stay on it.

A place name can be shown alongside your times. The lookup is done by the device operating system, Apple or Google, under its own privacy policy. It is optional.

Location access can be refused or withdrawn in device settings. The app continues to run, and the day plan carries no clock.

What is stored on the device

Your day plan, the rows you add, your record, bookmarks, verse notes, reading progress, tasbih sittings and settings are stored by the app on the device. Uninstalling removes all of it.

Home screen widgets read the same on-device data and draw it outside the app. Nothing is transmitted.

Content

Quran text, translations, mushaf pages, hadith, duas and the 99 Names are requested from ummahapi.com. A request carries what was asked for and your IP address.

ummahapi.com is an independent service with its own privacy policy. It states that they log the endpoint, the time, the IP address and the user agent, and that they do not sell or rent data. There is no data processing agreement between Ekale Investments Ltd and ummahapi.com.

Recitation audio is streamed from a content delivery network named by the service at request time.

Crash reports

Crash reports go to Sentry. A report contains the error, the device model, the operating system version, the app version, and a record of what the app was doing. IP attachment is off. Session recording is off except around an error, where text and images are masked.

Crash reports are on by default and can be switched off in Settings, under Legal. Switched off, nothing is sent: the preference is read before the app starts reporting, and turning it off stops the current session as well as every one after it. It is the only thing in the app that transmits anything about you, so it is the only thing with a switch.

Sentry holds reports under the retention period set for our account. A report can be deleted on request.

Notifications

Prayer notifications are scheduled by the device. No push token is created.

Updates

On launch, the app checks for an update through Expo's update service.

Who receives data

Data is not sold, rented, or shared for anyone else's purposes.

Children

Dawām is suitable for general audiences. The app collects no personal details and has no account or messaging. The support form on this website asks for a name and an email address, and is meant for the person responsible for the device.

Your rights

Ekale Investments Ltd holds no account and no copy of your data, so there is no profile to export or correct. Everything the app stores is on your device and under your control.

To have a crash report deleted, write to [email protected] with the approximate date and time.

This website

This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics. Every font and image is served from this domain. The one exception is described next.

The support form

The support page carries a form. Sending it is the only way this website collects anything about you, and it happens only when you choose to write.

What you type, your name, your email address and your message, is sent to[email protected] as an email and is not written to any database. It is kept in that mailbox for as long as it takes to answer you and to keep a record of the exchange. Your email address is used to reply and for nothing else. Writing to that address directly, rather than using the form, reaches the same mailbox and skips everything below.

Submissions are carried by Cloudflare, which serves this site, and are checked by Cloudflare Turnstile to confirm a person rather than a bot sent them. Turnstile is loaded from challenges.cloudflare.com and is the only thing on this site that comes from another address. It sets no cookie and does not follow you between sites. The check runs on the support page only.

The lawful basis is legitimate interest, namely answering the person who wrote in and keeping the inbox usable. To have your message and our reply deleted, ask at that same address.

Deletion

Uninstall the app and everything Dawām stores goes with it. Full detail is on the data deletion page.

Changes

Revisions appear on this page with a new date.
