Privacy Policy

Quran Tiles is made by Itteba Gilani, an independent developer based in Canada (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information the Quran Tiles app and this website handle, why, and the choices you have. In short: there are no accounts, most of what you do stays on your phone, and we never sell your data.

Information that stays on your device

The following is stored only on your phone, inside the app. It is not sent to us, and it is removed when you delete the app:

• Favourites, bookmarks and your reading position
• Your worship tracker, qada record and dhikr counts and history
• Your settings, chosen topics, themes, fonts and widget choices
• A photo you choose as a custom background, which is copied into the app’s own storage

Permissions the app asks for

Location (optional)

If you allow it, your location is used to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction. Both calculations happen on your phone. Your approximate coordinates and city name are saved on your device so times keep working offline; they are not sent to our servers. To show the name of your city, iOS looks up your coordinates using Apple’s geocoding service, under Apple’s privacy policy. You can turn location off at any time in Settings and enter nothing; prayer time features will then be limited.

Motion and compass

The Qibla screen reads your phone’s compass heading while it is open. This is not stored or sent anywhere.

Photos

If you choose a custom background, you pick a single photo with the iOS photo picker. The app only receives that photo and never uploads it.

Notifications

Reminders are scheduled on your device. We do not use push notification tokens or send notifications from a server.

Information we collect

Anonymous usage analytics

We use PostHog (servers in the United States) to understand how the app is used, for example which screens are opened, which features are used, and whether the Premium screen was shown. Events are linked to a random identifier created by the app, along with basic technical details such as app version, device model, operating system version, language and approximate country derived from your IP address. We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, precise location or the content you read, and we use this information only to fix problems and improve the app.

Purchases

Premium subscriptions are sold through Apple. Apple processes payment, and we never see your card or billing details. We use RevenueCat to check whether you have an active subscription. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user identifier, your purchase and subscription status, and basic device information.

Feedback you send us

If you use the feedback form on this website, we receive your message, the type of request, and anything else you choose to include, such as your email address, app version and device. Messages are delivered to our inbox throughWeb3Forms. We use them only to understand the issue and, if you gave an email, to reply. If you email us directly, we receive your email address and message.

Services the app connects to

To show content, the app downloads Quran text and translations fromQuran.com’s API, and background images from our content delivery network (Cloudflare) and Pexels. It also checks the App Store for new versions. Like any web request, these services receive your IP address and standard request information. They do not receive anything about your activity in the app from us.

What we don’t do

• We don’t require or offer accounts.
• We don’t sell or rent your information, or share it for advertising.
• We don’t show ads, and we don’t use the advertising identifier or track you across other apps and websites.

This website

This website does not use cookies or analytics. Our hosting provider, Vercel, keeps standard server logs (such as IP address and pages requested) for security and reliability.

How long we keep information

Analytics events are kept for as long as they are useful for improving the app, and no longer than 24 months. Feedback emails are kept while the conversation is relevant and deleted on request. Information on your device stays until you delete it or the app.

Children

Quran Tiles is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. It collects no names, emails or contact details inside the app. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through the feedback form, contact us and we will delete it.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, including under Canada’s PIPEDA, the GDPR in the EU and UK, and California law, you may have the right to access, correct or delete information about you, or to object to its use. Because we don’t know who you are from analytics, the easiest way to delete everything on your device is to delete the app. For any request, email support@qurantiles.app and we will respond within 30 days. You can also withdraw location, photo and notification permissions at any time in iOS Settings.

Information handled by PostHog, RevenueCat and our other providers may be processed in the United States and other countries, which may have different data protection laws from your own.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the app handles information, we will update this page and the date above. Significant changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
