Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2 October 2026

Summary

The App does not ask you to create an account. We do not collect or store your personal information. Your records, such as prayer tracking, the dhikr counter, the missed-prayer (qada) log and your preferences, are stored only on your own device and are never added to any network request. For prayer times, weather and nearby mosques, a rounded version of your location is sent in real time to the third-party services listed below. In some countries outside Türkiye, the name of the city you are in is sent to Kervan’s server to obtain prayer times from Diyanet (details below). The App currently contains no advertising and does not use the microphone.

Information We Do and Do Not Collect

Information we do not collect: The App does not collect your name, e-mail address, phone number or similar personal identification details. There is no user account system.

Information stored on your device: Your prayer tracking records, missed-prayer counters, dhikr counters, streaks and app preferences (such as your selected city and easy mode) are kept only in your device’s local storage. If you delete the App, this data is also deleted from the device.

Device backup: If iCloud Backup (iOS) or Google backup (Android) is turned on, the operating system may include the App’s data in the backup stored in your own Apple or Google account. That backup is in your account; the developer has no access to it.

Microphone: The App does not use the microphone and does not ask for microphone permission.

Location Information

We may need your location to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction accurately.

• Automatic location: If you grant permission, we use your device’s location to show prayer times, the Qibla direction, the weather and nearby mosques. Your location is stored on your device; the Qibla direction is calculated on your device. For prayer-time and weather requests, coordinates are rounded to about 1 km, and for nearby-mosque requests to about 100 m, and are sent in real time only to the services listed in the "Third-Party Services" section. Your coordinates are not sent to us. In some countries outside Türkiye, the name of the city you are in (and, if no match is found for that name, the neighbourhood/district or region name provided by your device) is sent together with the country to Kervan’s server (Cloudflare; server location: Cloudflare’s global network) to obtain prayer times from Diyanet; the monthly prayer times are then requested with the matching Diyanet district number. No coordinates, device identifier or account information are added to these requests; the server does not store them linked to a person and keeps only a city-level prayer-time cache. Your device’s operating-system service (Apple on iOS, Google on Android) may be used to display the name of the city you are in.
• Manual city selection: If you prefer not to grant location permission, you can choose your city from the list yourself. In that case, the centre coordinates of the city you selected are sent to the services, not your personal location.

Location permission is entirely optional, and you can withdraw it at any time in your device settings.

Third-Party Services

To show up-to-date information, the App connects to the following free third-party services. The information sent to each one is listed next to it:

• Aladhan API (prayer times, monthly timetable, Hijri calendar and date converter): location coordinates rounded to about 1 km and the date; for the date converter, only the date you enter.
• Open-Meteo (weather): location coordinates rounded to about 1 km.
• Cloudflare (infrastructure of Kervan’s prayer-time server; prayer times and the monthly timetable in some countries outside Türkiye): the city name (if needed, the neighbourhood/district or region name), the country and the Diyanet district number; no coordinates are sent.
• Presidency of Religious Affairs of Türkiye (Diyanet) Awqat Salah API (source of prayer times in some countries outside Türkiye): the App does not connect to it directly; Kervan’s server fetches the times using the district number, and no information about you is passed to Diyanet.
• OpenStreetMap Overpass API (nearby mosques): location coordinates rounded to about 100 m and a 3 km search radius.
• Al Quran Cloud API (Quran text, verse of the day and audio recitation): no personal data is sent; only the surah/verse number.
• fawazahmed0/hadith-api via the jsDelivr CDN (hadith of the day): no personal data is sent.
• mp3quran.net (Quran radio stations and streams): no personal data is sent.
• Apple App Store / Google Play (optional support purchase): payment runs entirely through the store’s infrastructure; details are in the "In-App Purchases" section below.

As with any internet request, your device’s IP address is technically visible to the service it connects to. The App does not add your name, e-mail address, device identifier or worship records to these requests. These services’ own privacy policies apply.

In-App Purchases

The App offers optional support purchases (monthly/annual subscription and a one-time thank-you). These purchases run entirely through the App Store infrastructure.

• Your payment details, your Apple transaction/receipt ID and information about your Apple account are never passed to us; we do not see or store them. Apple is responsible for this data, and Apple’s privacy policy applies.
• The purchase receipt is not sent to any server of ours; the App uses no server for this purpose.
• The only information stored on your device is a "support given" flag, kept so that the support screen is not shown again. This flag is not linked to your identity and is not sent to any server.
• Apple provides us only with aggregated sales and download statistics that cannot be linked to a person.

KVKK Information Notice (Turkish Data Protection Law)

This notice is provided in our capacity as data controller under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK").

Data controller: Yiğit Can Dağıstan, developer of Dinayet Ezan Vakti. Contact: support@kervandeveloper.com

Data processed and purposes:

• Location (latitude/longitude or the city you selected): for prayer times, the Qibla, weather and nearby mosques. It is kept on your device; in the relevant requests, a rounded version (about 1 km; about 100 m for nearby mosques) is passed in real time to third-party services. In some countries outside Türkiye, the city name (if needed, the neighbourhood/district or region name) is passed to our server (Cloudflare) to obtain prayer times from Diyanet; it is not stored linked to a person. These services’ own privacy policies apply. Legal basis: KVKK Art. 5(2)(c) (performance of a contract) and Art. 5(2)(f) (legitimate interest).
• Your worship tracking, missed-prayer log, dhikr and Quran-completion (khatm) records: these records, which may be regarded as special-category data (relating to religious belief) within the meaning of KVKK Art. 6, are stored only on your own device, are NOT TRANSFERRED to us or to any server, and are never added to any network request. We have no technical access to this data. (If device backup is turned on, the operating system may include it in your own iCloud/Google backup; see the "Device backup" paragraph above.)
• If you contact us by e-mail: your e-mail address and message are processed only to answer your request. Legal basis: KVKK Art. 5(2)(f).

Transfer abroad: The third-party services the App connects to in order to work may be located abroad (KVKK Art. 9). Only the technical information needed for the service (rounded location coordinates and the date; in some countries outside Türkiye, the city/region name) is passed in these requests, in real time; your name, e-mail address or device identifier are not sent.

Your rights (KVKK Art. 11): you have the right to learn whether your personal data is processed, to request information, to request its correction or deletion, to object to processing, and to claim compensation for any damage. You can send your requests to support@kervandeveloper.com; your application will be concluded within thirty days at the latest. Because the App has no account system, you can always erase all data on your device yourself by deleting the App.

Advertising

The App currently contains no advertising and earns no revenue from advertising. If advertising is added in the future, this policy will be updated and users will be informed.

Children’s Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children. We collect no personal information from any user.

Changes

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. Significant changes will be announced in the App.

Terms of Use

Last updated: 6 September 2026

1. Scope of the Service

The App offers prayer times, the Qibla direction, the Ramadan timetable (imsakiye), the Holy Quran, verses, hadith, supplications, religious days and spiritual tracking tools (such as prayer tracking and a dhikr counter). Its purpose is to provide users with religious content and worship-assistant tools. The App does not support any political movement, religious community or group, and contains no content belonging to them.

2. Accuracy of Information

Prayer times, the Hijri calendar and other calculations are provided through third-party services (for example, the Aladhan API) and the calculation method you select. Although we try to present this information as accurately as possible, differences may arise from location, time zone, calculation method or the services themselves. When in doubt, we recommend that you rely on the official sources in your area. The App does not guarantee the absolute accuracy of the information provided. The App is not affiliated with or approved by the Presidency of Religious Affairs of Türkiye (Diyanet).

3. Qibla and Compass

The Qibla direction is calculated using your device’s compass (magnetometer) sensor and your location. If your device’s sensor does not work correctly, the Qibla direction may also be shown incorrectly. For important matters, we recommend confirming it by other means as well.

4. User Responsibility

You agree to use the App in accordance with applicable laws. Misusing, reverse-engineering, copying without permission or distributing the App is prohibited.

5. Price, Support Purchases and Subscriptions

All features of the App are free and will remain free; no feature depends on a purchase. Within the App, entirely optional purchases are offered that let you support the developer: monthly and annual auto-renewing support subscriptions and a one-time thank-you.

For these purchases, the seller is Apple (App Store); payment, billing, refunds and subscription management are governed by Apple’s rules, the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the Apple Standard End User License Agreement (EULA). The applicable provisions of these agreements take precedence over these Terms of Use with respect to purchases.

Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and the fee is charged to your Apple account. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple account settings. The one-time thank-you does not renew. Prices are shown by the App Store according to your country and currency.

A purchase is digital content/a digital service and is performed immediately after your confirmation. Therefore, under Article 15(1)(ğ) of the Turkish Regulation on Distance Contracts, there is no right of withdrawal; you are deemed to have accepted this before purchasing. Refund requests are subject to Apple’s refund policy and are made at reportaproblem.apple.com.

The App contains no advertising. If advertising is added in the future, these terms and the privacy policy will be updated.

6. Intellectual Property

The App’s design, brand and original content are protected. The texts of the Holy Quran, verses, hadith and supplications belong to their respective sources and are presented with respect.

7. Limitation of Liability

The App is provided "as is". The developer cannot be held liable for direct or indirect damages that may arise from use of the App. Prayer times and religious information are for informational purposes only.

8. Changes

These terms may be updated from time to time. Continuing to use the App means that you accept the current terms.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. Users who are consumers may apply to the Consumer Arbitration Committee or the Consumer Court at their place of residence under Turkish Consumer Protection Law No. 6502; this right is not restricted in any way. For disputes with users who are not consumers, the Courts and Enforcement Offices of Istanbul have jurisdiction.
