The short version: the Almawqi app collects nothing about you, shows no ads, and uses no trackers. This website collects one thing — the email address you choose to give us for the launch announcement — and nothing else. We never sell any of it.
1.The waitlist (this website)
If you enter your email address on this site, we store that address so we can tell you when Almawqi launches. We also record the date you joined and the two-letter country code your browser request arrives with, so we know which countries to launch in first. We do not store your IP address, your browser, or any identifier that would let us follow you around.
That address is used for exactly one thing: a single email on launch day. No newsletter, no drip campaign, no sharing, no selling. The list is held in our own Cloudflare account — it is not handed to a mailing-list company or any other third party. Ask us at [email protected] and we will delete your address, no questions asked. Once the launch email has gone out, the list is deleted.
This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics.
2.The app collects no personal data
The Almawqi app has no user accounts and no sign-up. We (Almawqi App) operate no server that receives your data, and the app contains no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking SDKs. We do not build a profile of you and we never sell or rent data to anyone.
3.Location (optional)
If you choose “Detect location” to get local prayer times, the app requests your device location through Google Play Services. Your coordinates are used only on your device — to choose the nearest official JAKIM prayer-time zone, or to calculate prayer times locally. Your location coordinates are never sent to us or to any third party. You can use the app without granting location by selecting your zone or entering times manually. Location provided by Google Play Services is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy.
4.Prayer-time data
To fetch accurate timings, the app sends a request to the Waktu Solat API, a third-party service that mirrors Malaysia’s JAKIM e-Solat data. The request contains only a coarse prayer-time zone code (an administrative region, e.g. “sgr01”) and a calendar year and month. It does not contain your coordinates, your name, or any identifier we assign. As with any internet request, that provider’s servers receive your device’s IP address; we do not receive, log, or store it. Requests are sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection.
5.Data stored on your device
Your settings, alarms, and cached prayer times are stored only on your device. They are not transmitted to us. Uninstalling the app deletes this data. If you have Android backup enabled, your device may include this app data in your own Google account backup; that backup is controlled by you and your device settings, not by us.
6.Permissions
The app requests only permissions needed for its features — location (optional, for local prayer times), notifications and exact alarms (to alert you at prayer times), and background/boot permissions (so alarms and the clock stay accurate). None of these are used to collect or transmit personal data. A full list is in the app’s store listing.
7.Children
Almawqi is a general-audience app and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.
8.Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, note it in the app or store listing.
