Muslims Hub
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 7 August 2026 · Version 1.0
Scope. This policy applies to the Muslims Hub mobile application for iOS and Android, and to nothing else. It is a product policy, not a company-wide one — other Arivaatral products publish their own policies at their own product pages.
The short version. Arivaatral operates no servers and holds no user data. Muslims Hub has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no third-party tracking SDKs. Everything you create in the app — bookmarks, prayer logs, Zakat figures, tasbih counts — stays on your device. Two features make outbound network requests, and both are described below in full.
1. Who we are
Muslims Hub is developed and published by Arivaatral, an independent software studio based in Tamil Nadu, India. Arivaatral is the data controller for the purposes of this policy. You can reach us at althafrockss@gmail.com.
2. Information we collect
We collect nothing. There is no account to create, no login, no registration and no profile. We have no analytics pipeline, no crash-reporting service and no way to identify an individual user. We do not know how many people use the app, which features they open, or where they are.
3. Data stored on your device
The app stores the following locally, on your device only. It is never transmitted to us or to anyone else:
- Bookmarked ayahs and your last reading position
- Reading preferences — script, typeface, font size, line spacing, theme, translation and transliteration settings
- Prayer and fasting logs you record, and your daily timeline activities
- Khatm (Quran completion) progress
- Tasbih sets and counts
- Zakat calculation inputs, asset inventory and calculation history
- Any masjid timetable you import
- Recitation audio you choose to download for offline playback
This data is included in your device's own backup if you have one enabled (iCloud on iOS, Google backup on Android). Those backups are handled by Apple and Google under their own privacy policies, not ours. Deleting the app removes all of this data from your device.
4. Location
With your permission, the app uses your device location for two purposes: calculating prayer times for where you are, and pointing the Qibla compass toward the Kaaba.
The Qibla calculation happens entirely on your device. Prayer-time calculation does not: your latitude and longitude are sent to the Aladhan API (aladhan.com), a public prayer-times service, which returns the times for that coordinate and date. That request contains only the coordinates, the date and your chosen calculation method. It carries no name, no device identifier, no advertising ID and nothing else that could identify you, and Arivaatral is not a party to it — the request goes from your device straight to Aladhan. The returned times are cached on your device so the same request is not repeated.
You can decline. If you deny location permission, the app tells you what it needs and keeps working. You can import a masjid timetable and use the app's prayer features with no location access at all. Every other part of the app — Quran, duas, calendar, tasbih, Zakat, Arabic lessons — is unaffected.
In App Store terms, we declare Precise Location as collected for App Functionality only, not linked to your identity, and not used for tracking.
5. Microphone and speech recognition
Two optional features ask for the microphone:
- Voice search in the surah list, so you can say a surah name instead of typing it.
- Shadowing practice in the Learn Arabic section, where you record yourself reading and play it back to compare.
Speech is recognised on your device using the platform's built-in speech framework. Recordings are not uploaded, are not sent to us, and are not retained beyond the moment you are using the feature. Neither feature is required — decline the permission and the rest of the app is unaffected.
6. Network requests the app makes
| Service | What is sent | When |
|---|---|---|
| Aladhan API api.aladhan.com |
Coordinates, date, calculation method | When calculating prayer times, unless you use an imported masjid timetable |
| Quran audio archives everyayah.com, islamcan.com |
The ayah or surah you asked to hear | Only when you play or download recitation audio |
That is the complete list. No other outbound request is made by the app. There is no Arivaatral server involved in any of them.
7. Third-party SDKs
There are none. Muslims Hub ships with no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, no attribution or measurement SDK, no crash reporter and no social login. The app's privacy manifest, embedded in the shipped binary and verifiable by Apple, declares no tracking and no tracking domains.
8. Children
The app is rated 4+ and is suitable for all ages. Because we collect no personal information from anyone, we collect none from children either. There is no user-generated content, no messaging and no way for users to contact one another.
9. Your rights
Rights such as access, correction, deletion and portability apply to data a company holds about you. We hold none, so there is nothing for us to disclose, correct or delete. The data the app creates is entirely in your hands: you can clear it inside the app, or remove all of it by deleting the app.
10. Data sharing and sale
We do not sell, rent, trade or share user data, because we do not have any. No data is transferred to advertisers, data brokers or analytics providers.
11. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. If a change is material — for example if a future version of the app started collecting something — we will say so clearly in the app's release notes rather than quietly editing this page. This policy is versioned alongside the app: changes here apply to Muslims Hub only and have no bearing on any other Arivaatral product.
