Privacy Policy

In short

Sunnati collects nothing about you. It asks for no account, no email and no phone number, so everything you record stays on your device alone, and the person who wrote the app has no way to see any of it.

Nothing leaves your device except in one place, which you know when you enter it: the nearby mosques screen, which asks what is around you and so has to send where you are. That is set out under Location below.

What is kept on your device

The app uses your browser's local storage on your device to keep your settings and what you have recorded, including:

• the city or coordinates you chose, the calculation method and the Asr school
• the adhkar, sunan and daily portion you have marked, how you prayed your five prayers, and the record of your days
• the verses you marked and the notes you wrote on them, where you stopped in the Mus'haf, and your khatma plan
• your choices of appearance, text size and reciter

None of this leaves your device. You can export it as a single file or delete all of it from the settings screen at any time, and clearing the site's browser data erases it too.

Location

If you allow the app to know your location, it uses it to compute prayer times and the qibla direction on your device, and sends it to no server for that. You may instead pick a city from the list, and then your location is never asked for.

The one exception is the nearby mosques screen. By its nature it asks what is around you, so your location is sent to the OpenStreetMap servers and their Overpass service to learn which mosques are near you, and the map tiles are requested from its tile server, which likewise carries the place you are looking at. None of it is sent unless you open that screen yourself, nothing is sent with it of your name, your device identifier or anything else that points to you, and the app keeps none of it. If you never open it, your location never leaves your device.

The Android app and its permissions

The Android app shows this same site inside itself, without passing through another browser or sharing anything with one. It asks for these permissions, each for what is written beside it and nothing else:

• Notifications, to show that a prayer time has come and the reminder to send blessings on the Prophet ﷺ. Nothing is sent to a server, since the alert is made on your device.
• Exact alarms, so the adhan sounds at its minute while the app is closed. The times are computed on your device and asked of no one.
• Start at boot, to set the alarms again after the phone restarts, or they would be lost.
• Vibration, with an alert and with the counts of the tasbih.
• Running in the background (FOREGROUND_SERVICE and FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK), so a recitation keeps playing when you leave the app, with a notification that carries pause and stop. It runs only while there is sound.
• Location, if you ask for it yourself from the settings screen. It is never asked for on its own.

You can turn the adhan alert off inside the app, or block its notifications from the phone's settings, and everything else keeps working.

Files you keep on your device

If you save a surah's recitation to listen offline, or download the tafsir, it stays in the app's storage on your device, and you delete it from the settings screen or by deleting the app. If you send a verse or a dhikr as a picture, the share sheet opens for you to choose yourself where it goes, and on Android 10 and later the picture is first saved to your phone's gallery. If you make a verse into a video, it is handed to the share sheet from the app's temporary storage, and it is not saved to the gallery unless you save it yourself. The app sends nothing on its own.

What needs the internet

The whole app works offline after its first visit, and the network is left only what you ask for yourself:

• the recitation of a verse, which comes from cdn.islamic.network
• if you make a verse into a video, its recitation comes from everyayah.com, and for three of the reciters the timing of its words comes from api.quran.com. The video is made on your device and uploaded to no server unless you send it yourself
• if you save a surah to listen offline, its recitation comes from everyayah.com, in the same reciter's voice
• the recitation of a whole surah, which comes from cdn.mp3quran.net
• the live broadcasts of the Quran radio stations, which come from backup.qurango.net
• the tafsir of a verse when you ask for it, which comes from api.alquran.cloud
• if you ask for the way to a mosque, your phone's maps app opens on that place, or google.com/maps if it has none, and nothing about you is sent with it
• the nearby mosques and their map, the only thing your location is sent with, as above: the map tiles come from tile.openstreetmap.org, and the search for mosques from the first of four servers to answer: overpass-api.de, overpass.kumi.systems, overpass.private.coffee or maps.mail.ru
• if you tap «rate the app», its page opens in your phone's store, play.google.com or apps.apple.com, with nothing about you sent along
• if you tap «send feedback», your mail app opens with a message addressed to us that carries the app's version, and it leaves your device only when you send it; if you share the app, the message is one you send yourself to whomever you choose

These are independent parties with their own policies, and the app sends them nothing about you beyond what is needed to fetch the file asked for.

What the app does not have

• no advertising and no ad networks
• no tracking, no analytics and no device identifiers
• no cookies for tracking purposes
• no sharing or selling of any data, since there is no data to share

Children

The app is suitable for all ages. It collects data from no one, and so collects none from children.

Changes

Any change to this policy will appear on this page and in the repository's release history.
