Privacy Policy
Vakit ("we", "the app") places great importance on the privacy of our users and the protection of their personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what data is collected when you use our app, how this data is used, and how its security is ensured.
1. Data Collected and Purposes of Use
The following data may be needed for our app to perform its core functions (prayer times, qibla direction, etc.):
- Location Information: Precise or approximate location information is required for calculating prayer times correctly based on your location and for determining the Qibla direction. This data is processed on your device and is not stored on our servers unless otherwise stated.
- Device Information: Technical information such as device model and operating system version may be collected anonymously to improve the app's performance and resolve bugs.
- Notifications: Notification permission is requested to send reminders during adhan times and to deliver content such as the verse/hadith of the day.
2. Data Sharing and Retention
The Vakit app never sells user data or shares it with third parties for advertising purposes.
- Third-Party Services: Analytics tools (e.g., Google Firebase) or infrastructure services (e.g., Supabase) used within the app may collect anonymous technical data subject to their own privacy policies.
- Legal Obligations: Your data may only be shared with official authorities upon a legal request and in accordance with applicable legislation.
3. Data Security
Industry-standard security measures are implemented to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. Your in-app data is processed over encrypted connections.
4. Children's Privacy
While our app appeals to users of all ages, it does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us; we will immediately delete such data from our systems.
5. User Rights (KVKK and GDPR)
As users, you have the following rights:
- Knowing whether your data is being processed.
- Requesting correction of incorrectly processed data.
- Requesting deletion or destruction of your data.
- Disabling location and notification permissions from your device settings at any time.
