Last Updated: June 2026
FezYab ("App", "we", "us", or "our") is an Islamic utility application developed for Android devices. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process information when you use our App and related services.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices. Please read this policy carefully to understand our privacy practices.
Qibla Direction: The App uses your device's location (latitude and longitude) to calculate the accurate direction to the Kaaba in Makkah for prayer.
How it's collected: Via your device's GPS, network-based location services, or manual location input.
Storage: Location data is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly choose to share it for optional features.

Error messages and troubleshooting data
App launch frequency and session duration
Prayer times calculated based on your location

The Qibla finder and prayer time calculation use your location exclusively for mathematical calculations performed on your device. Your coordinates are:
Not stored permanently on your device unless you choose to save a location
Not transmitted to external servers for Qibla calculations
Not shared with third parties
The App requires location permission to access GPS data
You can revoke location permission in your Android device settings at any time
The App will continue to function with reduced accuracy if location access is denied
If you choose to use optional cloud-sync or sharing features (if available), we will only transmit anonymized location data with your explicit consent.
