Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how TaqwaTrack ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use our mobile application and related services.

By creating an account or using the app, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

We are committed to handling your information responsibly and in line with applicable privacy laws, including Google Play's User Data policies.

• Provide core app features: prayer tracking, alerts, Quran reader, masjid discovery, and community feeds.
• Calculate prayer times and Qibla direction based on your location.
• Send local and push notifications for prayers, masjid updates, and engagement reminders you opt into.
• Operate optional features such as Ask Imam, tutor listings, matrimonial matching, and voice/video calls.
• Process and verify in-app purchases and premium subscriptions.
• Display advertisements through Google AdMob where applicable.
• Maintain security, prevent abuse, enforce community guidelines, and comply with legal obligations.
• Review user-generated content — including chat messages in Matchmaker and tutor features — when necessary to enforce our Terms of Service and protect users from harassment, abuse, hate speech, scams, or fraudulent activity.
• Improve app performance, fix bugs, and develop new features.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

• Location — prayer times, Qibla compass, masjid maps, and nearby search.
• Notifications — prayer alerts, masjid announcements, and app updates.
• Camera — profile photos and live face verification for matrimonial profiles.
• Microphone — voice introductions, calls, and audio recording features you initiate.
• Photos / Storage — selecting images to upload to your profile or posts.
• Motion sensors — Qibla compass orientation.
• Internet — sync data, load maps, media, and cloud services.
• Billing — Google Play in-app purchases and subscriptions.

You can revoke most permissions in your device Settings. Some features may not work without the related permission.

We use industry-standard services that may process data on our behalf:

• Firebase — authentication, cloud database (Firestore), and cloud functions.
• Supabase — secure storage for user-uploaded media (e.g. profile and matrimonial photos).
• Google Maps — masjid location search and map display.
• Google AdMob — may collect advertising identifiers and usage data per Google's policies.
• Google Play — processes payments; governed by Google's privacy terms.

Each provider has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review: Google Privacy Policy and Supabase Privacy Policy.

We may share information only in these situations:

• With other users — according to your profile visibility, privacy settings, and feature context (e.g. public leaderboard name, matrimonial profile to matched users).
• With masjid admins / imams — for masjid pages, announcements, and community moderation you participate in.
• With service providers — hosting, analytics, push delivery, maps, ads, and payment infrastructure under contractual safeguards.
• For legal reasons — if required by law, court order, or to protect users, our rights, or public safety.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, with notice where required.

We do not share matrimonial verification documents or private account data publicly without your consent.

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

You may request account deletion at any time using the in-app flow described in Section 10 — Account Deletion, or by emailing us. After deletion is completed, some data may remain in backups or anonymized analytics for a limited period as permitted by law.

We use Firebase security rules, authenticated access controls, encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), and restricted admin access to protect your information.

Safety, Security, and Compliance

We may process and review user-generated content, including communications in Matchmaker chats and tutor messaging, strictly when necessary to ensure compliance with our Terms of Service. This is done solely to protect our community from abusive behavior, harassment, hate speech, scams, or fraudulent activity. These measures help maintain a respectful, safe, and secure environment for all users.

Data Minimization & Access

Access to user communications is highly restricted. For members, Matchmaker reports can only be filed against someone you are actively matched with. For our team, review is limited to safety-related workflows — such as user reports, automated risk flags, or active moderation duties — and is not used to monitor personal conversations for advertising or unrelated commercial purposes.

Authorized administrators may review tutor–student and matched-member conversations only when needed for safety investigations, dispute resolution, or legal compliance.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Please use a strong password, keep your device updated, and contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

TaqwaTrack is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Matrimonial features are intended only for adults who meet the minimum legal age for marriage in their jurisdiction.

TaqwaTrack lets you request deletion of your account and associated personal data inside the app or by contacting us. Below are the exact steps, what is removed, what may be kept, and typical timelines — in line with Google Play's account deletion requirements.

Option A — Delete full app account

Permanently removes your TaqwaTrack (NamazTracker) login and personal data stored under your account.

1. Open the app and sign in with the email linked to your account.
2. On the Home screen, tap the Settings & Themes icon.
3. Scroll to the Account section and tap Delete my account.
4. Select a reason for leaving, enter your login email to confirm identity, and submit.
5. You will see a confirmation that your request was sent to our admin team for review.

Option B — Delete Matchmaker profile only

Removes matrimonial/matchmaker data only. Your prayer logs, Quran progress, masjid follows, and other main app data stay on your account.

1. Open Matchmaker → Privacy & Calls (Privacy Settings).
2. Tap Delete Matchmaker account and confirm.
3. Your matrimonial profile is removed immediately; your main TaqwaTrack account remains active.

Option C — Request by email or WhatsApp

If you cannot access the app, email abdulrafay700@gmail.com or message us on WhatsApp with the subject Account Deletion Request. Include the email address registered on your account so we can verify ownership.

What is deleted (full account)

• Login credentials and account identifiers (Firebase Authentication)
• Profile information (name, email, photo, preferences)
• Prayer logs, streaks, zikr/tasbeeh records, and spiritual activity you tracked
• Quran reading progress, bookmarks, and related reader settings
• Masjid follows, personal notification settings, and zakat/ramadan records on your account
• Matrimonial/matchmaker profile and usage data linked to your account
• Push notification tokens associated with your device

What may be retained

• Google Play purchase and subscription records (manage or cancel in the Google Play Store)
• Anonymized or aggregated analytics that no longer identify you
• Short-term backup copies, as permitted by applicable law
• Community content you shared with others (e.g. feed comments, masjid posts, chat messages to matched users) may remain visible to other participants but without your active profile
• Records we must retain for legal compliance, fraud prevention, security, or dispute resolution

Cancelling a deletion request

If you submitted a full-account deletion request by mistake, contact us at abdulrafay700@gmail.com as soon as possible before final deletion is executed. Once deletion is completed, it cannot be reversed.

• Update profile and privacy settings inside the app (Profile, Matchmaker Privacy Settings).
• Request full account deletion in-app — see Section 10 (Account Deletion) for step-by-step instructions.
• Delete only your Matchmaker profile from Matchmaker → Privacy & Calls (prayer/Quran data stays).
• Disable notifications in app settings or device system settings.
• Revoke location, camera, or microphone access in device Settings.
• Manage Google Play subscriptions in the Google Play Store.
• Request access, correction, export, or deletion of your data by emailing us.

Depending on your region (e.g. EU/EEA, UK, California), you may have additional rights such as objection to processing or lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Our service providers may store or process data in countries other than where you live, including the United States and the European Union. We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards when data is transferred internationally.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the latest version. Material changes may be communicated in-app or via email where appropriate. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
