Data collected
Davul does not collect, store or share any data that could identify you. The app does not connect to any server; the city list, the duas and the Ramadan calendar ship inside the app. That is why its App Store privacy label says “Data Not Collected”.
Location
Location access is optional. If you choose “Use my location” on first launch, iOS asks once, and your location is used only on your phone to calculate Fajr, iftar and the other times. It is never sent to a server, to me or to third parties. If you would rather not allow it, pick your city from the list and location access is never requested. You can turn it off at any time in your iPhone’s Settings app.
What is stored on your device
To work, the app keeps the following only on your iPhone, in its own storage:
- The city you chose, or the location used to calculate the times.
- Your reminder choices: the suhoor reminder and how early it comes, and the Fajr and iftar reminders.
- What you mark in My fasts: days kept and missed, taraweeh and the make-up fast counter.
Your fast tracker is a personal note; it never leaves your phone and is not shared with anyone.
Reminders
Suhoor, Fajr and iftar reminders are local notifications: the app schedules them directly on your iPhone, only for the days of Ramadan. No push server is used and the content of reminders is never sent anywhere. Allowing notifications is optional, and you can turn them off at any time in your iPhone’s Settings app.
Widgets
The Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets read the times from a shared app space on your device (an App Group). This sharing happens only between Davul and its own widgets, inside your phone.
Analytics, ads and tracking
Davul has no analytics, no ads, no advertising identifier (IDFA) and no tracking. The app contains no third-party SDKs that collect data. Davul does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
Accounts
Davul has no account, sign-up or login. You don’t need to give any information to use it.
Deleting your data
Everything is on your phone, so you are in full control. When you delete Davul from your iPhone, your city, your settings and your fast tracker are permanently deleted with it.
Children
Davul is suitable for all ages. It collects no personal data from anyone, children included.
