📜 Privacy Policy

Introduction

✨ Al Ishaat: Islamic Audio Library is a specialized application designed to provide access to authentic Islamic lectures (Dars), Quranic recitations, and spiritual audio content. Developed with love by Abdus Salam, this app is committed to providing a secure, private, and spiritually enriching experience for all users worldwide.

We believe that your privacy is a trust, and we honor that trust by implementing the highest standards of data protection. Our application follows Islamic principles of respecting others' privacy and maintaining confidentiality.

Audio Streaming & Downloads

To provide you with high-quality Islamic content, the app requires an internet connection for:

• 🎵 Streaming Audio - Direct streaming from our secure, encrypted content delivery networks
• 📥 Downloading Content - Saving audio files for offline listening (completely user-initiated)
• 📚 Content Updates - Fetching new lectures and updated metadata

Technical Note: When you stream or download content, standard server logs (such as IP address and connection timestamps) may be temporarily generated by our hosting provider. However, these logs are automatically deleted after 7 days and are never linked to your personal identity or used for tracking purposes.

Storage & Permissions

The app requests the following permissions for legitimate functionality:

Local Data Management

The app utilizes a sophisticated local database system (Room Database) to enhance your experience:

• 📖 Content Metadata - Titles, durations, and descriptions of available lectures
• 🔖 Bookmarks & Favorites - Your personally selected lectures (stored only on your device)
• 📊 Download Status - Which files you've downloaded for offline listening
• 🎯 Playback History - Where you left off in a lecture (resume playback)

Important: All this data remains strictly on your device. It is deleted automatically when you uninstall the app or manually clear app data from your device settings. We have no remote access to this information.

Children's Privacy

Al Ishaat is designed for users of all ages, and we take children's privacy seriously:

• We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13
• All content is family-friendly and appropriate for all ages
• Parents can feel confident letting their children use the app without supervision regarding privacy concerns
• No chat features, no user profiles, no social media integration

Advertisements & Third-Party Services

✅ Completely Ad-Free Experience

Al Ishaat is designed to be a clean, distraction-free environment for spiritual learning. We believe that advertisements disrupt the contemplative atmosphere needed for Islamic learning.

Therefore:

• ❌ No third-party advertisements
• ❌ No tracking pixels or analytics SDKs
• ❌ No data sharing with any third parties
• ✅ Pure, focused Islamic content only

Data Security

While we don't collect your data, we still implement robust security measures:

• 🔐 Encrypted Connections - All network traffic uses TLS 1.3 encryption
• 🛡️ Code Obfuscation - App code is obfuscated to prevent reverse engineering
• 📱 Regular Security Audits - We perform monthly security checks
• 🚫 No External Libraries - We minimize third-party dependencies to reduce risk

Your Rights

Since we don't collect any personal data, many traditional privacy rights are automatically satisfied. However, you have:

• Right to Privacy - Guaranteed by our zero-data policy
• Right to Delete - Simply uninstall the app to remove all local data
• Right to Choose - You can use the app offline once content is downloaded
• Right to Know - This transparent policy tells you everything about our practices

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect improvements in our practices or legal requirements. When we do:

• We will notify users through an in-app notification
• The "Last Updated" date at the top will be revised
• Material changes will be highlighted
• Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the updated policy

Contact Information

For privacy concerns, data removal requests (though we don't have your data), or general questions, please reach out to us. We typically respond within 24-48 hours.
