Privacy Policy for Mosalla
Last Updated: April 12, 2026
Mosalla (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, used, and disclosed by Mosalla.
This Privacy Policy applies to our application, Mosalla, and its associated services (collectively, our “Service”). By accessing or using our Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
- Account Information: If you create an account, we may collect your email address and password via Firebase Authentication.
- Preferences: We collect and store your preferences, such as selected mosques and notification settings, primarily on your device using local storage (SharedPreferences).
- Location Data: We collect your precise location data to provide features such as Qibla direction and accurate prayer times based on your current position. This data is typically processed on your device.
- Device Information: We collect information about the device you use to access the Service, including the hardware model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers (e.g., FCM registration tokens for push notifications).
- Usage Data: We may collect information about your interactions with the Service, such as the features you use and the time spent on the app.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To Provide the Service: To calculate prayer times, provide Qibla direction, and display mosques on a map.
- To Communicate with You: To send you push notifications for prayer times and mosque events (if enabled).
- To Improve our Service: To understand how the app is used and to diagnose technical issues.
- For Security: To protect the Service and our users from fraud or abuse.
3. Third-Party Services
We use various third-party services to power Mosalla. These services have their own privacy policies:
- Firebase (Google Cloud): Used for authentication, cloud storage, crash reporting, and cloud functions.
- Google Maps Platform: Used to provide mapping services and location search.
- Google Gemini AI: Used specifically for extracting and processing prayer time data from images or text provided by mosque administrators.
4. Your Choices
- Notifications: You can opt-out of receiving push notifications by adjusting your settings within the app or your device’s operating system settings.
- Location Services: You can disable location access via your device settings. Note that many core features of Mosalla (like Qibla and automated prayer times) require location access to function.
- Account Deletion: You may request the deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us directly.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service or to comply with legal obligations. Local data (like SharedPreferences) can be cleared by deleting the app’s cache or uninstalling the application.
6. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is ever fully secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
7. Children’s Privacy
Our Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date.
