The short version. ImanFocus has no accounts and no servers that store your data. Your prayer times, prayer log, streak, journal answers and the apps you choose to close stay on your iPhone — and, if you leave Keep my data in iCloud on, a copy of your prayer log, journal, reading progress and settings is kept in your own private iCloud, which only you can access. The app sends data off your device in only three cases: your approximate location goes to Apple to look up the weather and your city name, purchase and paywall events go to Superwall, and payments go through Apple. We don’t sell your data, and we don’t use it for advertising.
This policy explains what information ImanFocus (“the app”, “we”, “us”) handles, where it goes, and the choices you have.
Most of what ImanFocus knows about you is stored on your iPhone, in the app’s own storage and in a private App Group shared with its widgets and Screen Time extensions. Some of it can also be copied to your own iCloud (see “Your iCloud” below). We cannot see this information, and it is never sent to us.
| Information | Why the app uses it |
|---|---|
| Your location (latitude and longitude, plus the city name) | To calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction on your device |
| Prayer settings (calculation method, madhhab, high-latitude rule, window length, which prayers to close apps for) | To build your prayer schedule |
| Your prayer log and streak | To show your progress and calendar |
| Days-off periods (ḥayḍ or travel, if you choose to log them) | To pause your streak so those days are never counted as missed |
| Your onboarding answers (age range, daily screen time, goals, intention) | To personalise onboarding. Your age range is used once, to work out a figure shown during onboarding. It is not used for anything else and is not sent anywhere |
| Journal answers you write in Learn | Kept on this phone in a file that is encrypted while your phone is locked, and in your own iCloud if that setting is on |
| Qur’an reading preferences and bookmarks | To remember where you were and how you like to read |
| The last weather reading | To draw the sky on Home. Only the most recent reading is kept |
ImanFocus uses Apple’s Screen Time framework (Family Controls, Device Activity and Managed Settings) to close the apps you choose during prayer windows. When you pick apps, iOS gives ImanFocus an anonymous token for each app, not the app’s name or a list of what you use. We can’t see which apps you chose, what you do in them, or how long you spend in them. Any screen-time figures the app shows you are drawn by iOS inside a sandboxed extension that can’t send data off your device.
If Settings → Keep my data in iCloud is on (it is by default, when your iPhone is signed in to iCloud), the app keeps a copy of your prayer log (including when you marked each prayer), journal answers, Qur’an bookmarks and reading progress, lessons read, and app settings in the private database of your own iCloud account, using Apple’s CloudKit. This is what lets your history come back if you reinstall the app, and follow you to a new iPhone.
That copy belongs to your Apple ID and counts against your own iCloud storage. We have no access to it and cannot read it; if you use Advanced Data Protection, Apple encrypts it end to end. Your location, prayer calculation settings, onboarding answers and the apps you chose are not copied to iCloud.
Turning the setting off stops this iPhone syncing; the copy already in iCloud stays for your other devices until you remove it (see Section 5).
Prayer-window reminders and other notifications are scheduled locally on your iPhone. They aren’t sent from a server, and we don’t collect a push-notification token. If iCloud sync is on, Apple may send the app silent notifications to tell it something changed on another of your devices; these come from Apple’s iCloud service, not from us.
To draw current weather in the sky on Home, the app sends your location rounded to about one kilometre to Apple Weather. Nothing else is sent with it. Apple handles this request under the Apple Privacy Policy. Weather data is provided by Apple Weather (data sources).
