Introduction

At BitSyncr, we believe that user privacy and respect are core values. This Privacy Policy explains how Silent Salah collects, uses, and protects your information. We are committed to transparency and ensuring your privacy is respected at all times.

1. Information We Collect

Location Data

Silent Salah collects your device's location data solely for the purpose of detecting when you enter or leave mosque areas. This data is used exclusively to trigger the app's silent mode functionality.

App Usage Logs

We collect minimal app usage data to improve the accuracy of mosque detection and enhance the overall user experience. This includes basic analytics about app performance and feature usage.

2. How We Use Information

Mosque Detection

Your location data is used to determine when you are within the vicinity of a mosque, enabling the automatic silent mode feature.

Service Improvement

Usage analytics help us improve the accuracy of mosque detection and optimize the app's performance for better user experience.

3. Third-Party Services

Silent Salah may use the following third-party services:

Google Play Services

For location services and app distribution through the Google Play Store.

Firebase (if applicable)

For app analytics and crash reporting to improve app stability and performance.

4. Data Security

We take your privacy seriously and implement appropriate security measures:

  • No personal data is shared, sold, or rented to third parties
  • Location data is processed locally on your device when possible
  • All data transmission is encrypted using industry-standard protocols
  • We regularly review and update our security practices

5. App Permissions

Silent Salah requests the following permissions to provide its core functionality:

Location (Always Allow)

Required to detect nearby mosques and automatically silence your phone when you enter mosque premises. This permission allows the app to monitor your location in the background to provide seamless silent mode activation.

Do Not Disturb Access

Necessary to switch your phone to silent mode during Salah. This permission allows Silent Salah to control your device's sound settings automatically when you are at a mosque.

Battery Optimization Exemption

Required to ensure the app continues running in the background. This prevents the system from stopping Silent Salah to save battery, ensuring reliable mosque detection and silent mode activation.

Auto Start Permission (OEM-specific)

Needed to allow the app to restart automatically after device reboot or if stopped by the system. This ensures Silent Salah remains active and functional at all times.

Activity Recognition Permission

Our app requests the ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION permission. This is used only to detect whether a user is moving or still, in order to optimize location updates and conserve battery life.

  • We do not use this data for health or fitness purposes.
  • We do not collect, store, or share activity data with third parties.

6. User Control

Permission Management

You can manage all app permissions at any time through your device settings. Silent Salah will continue to function with reduced capabilities if certain permissions are revoked.

Data Deletion

You can delete all app data by uninstalling Silent Salah from your device. This will remove all locally stored information.

Opt-Out Options

You can disable location services, revoke permissions, or uninstall the app at any time to stop data collection and app functionality.
