This privacy policy explains how we handle any information that might be collected when you use our free OnlineAzan mobile app. We take user privacy seriously and are committed to being transparent about our data practices.
What We Collect: OnlineAzan collects your device's unique identifier (Device ID, such as Android ID or Advertising ID) to provide core app functionality.
Why We Collect It: The Device ID is used exclusively to map your device to your selected masjid. This allows the app to:
How We Use It: The Device ID is stored securely in our database and is only used for the purpose of connecting you to your selected masjid. We do not share this information with any third parties, and we do not use it for advertising, analytics, or any other purpose beyond app functionality.
Data Retention: Your Device ID remains in our database as long as you use the app. If you uninstall the app, the Device ID may remain in our database but will become inactive.
Is This Data Required? Yes, the Device ID is required for the app to function properly. Without it, the app cannot maintain your connection to your selected masjid.
If you wish to have your Device ID permanently deleted from our database, you can contact us anytime through WhatsApp at: +91 88380 38635
Alternatively, you can visit our Data Deletion Request Page for detailed instructions.
We will process your deletion request promptly within 24-48 hours and confirm once your data has been removed from our systems.
Apart from the Device ID mentioned above, OnlineAzan does not collect any other personal information from users. This includes, but is not limited to:
We understand that personal information is sensitive, and we believe you should have control over what data is shared about you. By limiting our data collection to only what's necessary for app functionality, OnlineAzan ensures a private and secure experience for all users.
Currently, the OnlineAzan app does not integrate any third-party services that collect user data. These services can sometimes act as intermediaries and might collect information during app usage. However, in our current version, the app functions independently without relying on such services. Please note: This is subject to change in the future. If we decide to integrate third-party services in upcoming app versions, we will clearly outline their data collection practices and update this privacy policy accordingly. Our commitment remains to be transparent and provide you with control over your privacy.
In the unlikely event of an app error, we might collect some non-identifiable data (through third-party products) from your device to help us diagnose and fix the issue. This data, known as log data, helps us understand what went wrong and improve the app's stability for future users. Here's a breakdown of what log data might include: Device Internet Protocol (IP) address: This is a unique numerical label assigned to your device when connected to the internet. It helps us identify the general location of the device (city/country level, not specific address) but cannot be used to pinpoint your exact location. Device name and operating system version: This information helps us understand the type of device you're using (phone model, Android/iOS version) and tailor future updates or troubleshoot issues specific to certain device configurations. App version number: Knowing the app version being used helps identify if the error is specific to a particular version and allows us to prioritize bug fixes in upcoming updates. App configuration during use: This might include temporary settings within the app at the time of the error, which can be helpful in recreating the issue for debugging purposes. Crash type (if applicable): This helps us understand the nature of the app malfunction (e.g., app freezing, unexpected shutdown) and prioritize fixes for critical issues. Time and date of app use: This helps us identify patterns in app crashes or errors, potentially related to specific times of day or server load. Other relevant usage statistics: This anonymized data might include information like frequency of app usage and features used most often. However, it's important to understand that this data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. It helps us understand general user behavior patterns and improve the app's overall functionality.
We prioritize the security of any data collected, including Device IDs. We follow industry best practices for app development security to minimize potential vulnerabilities. Additionally, we regularly update the app to address any discovered security risks. Your Device ID is stored securely and transmitted using encrypted connections (HTTPS). It's important to remember that no internet transmission or electronic storage method is completely foolproof. However, we take reasonable steps to ensure the protection of any data collected through our app.
Our app is not designed for or directed towards children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from users under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided us with information, we will take immediate steps to delete it from our records.
We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our app's functionality, data collection practices, or relevant laws and regulations. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the updated policy within the app. The last update to this policy was made in October 2024.
