Privacy Policy.

Last updated: May 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Waqt, provided by OneWahed, handles your information. The short version: we don't collect or transmit personal data. The App operates entirely on your device.

  • 1. Information Used on Your Device

    Location. With your permission, the App reads your latitude and longitude from Apple's CoreLocation framework. It is used only to calculate prayer times and the bearing to the Kaaba in Mecca. Your location is not transmitted to any server we control, and we do not see it.

    Compass heading. With your permission, the App reads your device's magnetometer heading to rotate the Qibla arrow live. This data stays on your device.

    Settings. Your calculation method, Asr method, notification preferences, theme choice, and any manually-selected city are stored in iOS UserDefaults on your device.

  • 2. What We Do Not Do

    We do not collect, transmit, sell, rent, or share your location, heading, or settings.

    We do not use analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, fingerprinting libraries, tracking pixels, or third-party telemetry.

    We do not have a server. The App is fully offline-capable after first launch.

    We do not show ads in the App, and we commit to never doing so.

  • 3. Third-Party Components

    Adhan-swift (MIT-licensed, open source): a pure-math library that calculates Islamic prayer times locally on your device. It performs no network activity.

    Apple frameworks: CoreLocation, CoreMotion, MapKit, SceneKit, and UserNotifications. These are Apple's frameworks and operate according to Apple's privacy practices.

  • 4. Manual City Search

    If you use "Choose a City" to set a location manually, your search query is sent to Apple's MapKit service to return city suggestions. This communication is between your device and Apple, and is governed by Apple's privacy practices. We do not see or store these queries.

  • 5. Notifications

    The App schedules local notifications on your device via iOS's UserNotifications framework. No notifications are sent through a push service or external server.

  • 6. Children's Privacy

    The App is suitable for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction).

  • 7. Data Retention

    All settings and on-device data exist for as long as the App is installed. Uninstalling the App removes all of it.

  • 8. Your Choices

    To revoke location access: iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Waqt.

    To revoke or adjust notifications: iOS Settings → Notifications → Waqt, or use the in-app NOTIFICATIONS toggles.

    To remove all stored data: uninstall the App.

  • 9. Changes to This Policy

    We may update this Policy. Material changes will be reflected in this document with a new "Last updated" date.
