Tahir doesn't collect your data. That's between you and Allah.
We have no servers and keep no copy of anything. Apart from feedback you choose to send us, the one thing that leaves your device is your location, rounded to about 1 km, which is sent to a prayer-times service so it can work out your prayer times. Google Play's Data safety section lists that as location collected.
Tahir is a prayer companion app for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android phones. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and we never sell or share your data. This policy explains the little information that does leave your device, and why.
What stays on your device
- Your prayer and Tahajjud logs, streaks and statistics
- Your settings, including your prayer time calculation method and reminder choices
This information is stored only on your device. We have no servers and no copy of it. Deleting the app deletes it. If your device's own backup is turned on (iCloud Backup on iPhone and iPad, or Android's backup to your Google account), your device may include Tahir's data in that backup. It's kept in your own account, and we can't see it.
Location
Tahir uses your location to work out prayer times and the Qibla direction.
- Prayer times: your location, rounded to about 1 km, is sent to the Aladhan prayer times service, together with your chosen calculation method. No name, account or device identifier is sent with it. Aladhan's own privacy practices apply to that request.
- Malaysia (JAKIM) method: only if you choose it, your location, rounded to about 1 km, is also sent to waktusolat.app to find your JAKIM prayer zone, and that zone's code (not your location) is sent to JAKIM's e-Solat service for its official times. The zone is looked up again only if you move about 5 km. No name, account or device identifier is sent.
- The name of your town: to show where your times are for, Tahir asks your device's built-in place-name service (Apple's on iPhone and iPad, Google's on Android) with your location. That service's own privacy practices apply.
- Qibla and the Moon: worked out on your device. Nothing is sent.
Tahir also refreshes your prayer times in the background from time to time (about every 12 hours), using the last location it saved, so your times and reminders stay up to date when you haven't opened the app.
You can turn location off at any time in your device's Settings. Tahir will then use the last location it knew, or a default city.
Notifications
Prayer, follow-up and Tahajjud reminders are scheduled on your device. No notification service or server is involved.
Feedback
If you choose to send feedback, Tahir opens your email app with a message to us. The message includes the app's version, your device's system version and your device's model, to help us look into bugs; you can delete them before sending. Nothing is sent unless you send the email yourself. We use what you send only to reply and to improve the app.
You can also use the feedback form on this website. What you write there, and your email address if you choose to give it, comes to us by email through FormSubmit, which forwards it to our inbox. If you open the form from the app, it also includes the app's version and your device's system and model. We use it only to reply and to improve the app.
Deleting your data
Uninstalling Tahir deletes everything it keeps on your device (on Android, clearing Tahir's storage in Settings does the same). We hold no copy of your location or your prayer history. Any copy in your device's own backup follows your backup settings. To have feedback you've sent us deleted, email support@tahir5dailyprayers.com.
Children
Tahir has no accounts and doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update it here and change the date at the top.
