Privacy and prayer-time apps
Prayer-time tools may request location to calculate local times. A trustworthy service should explain what it collects and offer manual city entry.
Permissions
A daily timetable needs a location once, not continuously. Background location access is rarely justified by the feature it claims to support.
Data minimisation
Religious practice is sensitive data in most privacy frameworks. Prayer habits, listening history and precise location should not be combined, sold or shared.
How we handle it here
ShiaAzan asks for location only when you tap to use it, keeps manual city search available everywhere, and never sells prayer habits, location history or religious listening data.
A short checklist
Is manual entry available? Is the privacy policy specific? Can analytics be declined? Is location required to open the app at all?
