Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 22, 2026
Dhikr Gate respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Dhikr Gate mobile application collects, how it is used, and the choices you have.
By using Dhikr Gate, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
1. Overview
Dhikr Gate is designed to help you build mindful routines around prayer times through prayer reminders, dhikr sessions, app shielding, progress tracking, and optional Pro features.
We aim to keep personal data collection limited. Most app data is stored locally on your device.
2. Information Stored on Your Device
Dhikr Gate may store the following information locally on your device:
- Prayer time settings
- Selected calculation method and madhab preference
- Selected Sri Lanka district, if used
- Approximate location coordinates, if you grant location access
- Selected app shielding configuration
- Dhikr progress and custom dhikr phrases
- Prayer check-ins and streaks
- Usage analytics shown inside the app
- Unlock mode, reminder preferences, pause settings, and app settings
- Local diagnostics used to help understand app behavior
This information is stored on your device and, where needed, in an iOS App Group so the main app and its extensions can work together.
3. Location Data
Dhikr Gate may request location access to calculate prayer times for your area.
If you grant location permission, the app may use your device location to determine approximate coordinates for prayer time calculation. Location data is used for app functionality and is not used for advertising or tracking.
You can disable location access at any time in iOS Settings. If location access is disabled, some prayer time features may be less accurate or may rely on manually selected settings.
4. Screen Time and App Shielding Data
Dhikr Gate uses Apple’s Screen Time, Family Controls, Device Activity, and Managed Settings frameworks to let you select apps to shield during prayer windows.
The selected app shielding configuration is handled using Apple’s privacy-preserving system APIs. Dhikr Gate does not receive the names of all apps installed on your device and does not sell or use this information for advertising.
This data is used only to provide app shielding functionality.
5. Notifications
Dhikr Gate may request notification permission to send prayer reminders, dhikr reminders, unlock reminders, and related app alerts.
Notification settings can be changed at any time in iOS Settings.
6. Purchases and Subscription Data
Dhikr Gate may offer optional Pro features through subscriptions or one-time purchases.
Purchases are processed by Apple. We use RevenueCat to help manage subscription status, purchase restoration, and entitlement access.
RevenueCat may process purchase-related information such as product identifiers, subscription status, transaction information, and app user identifiers needed to provide subscription functionality.
We do not receive or store your full payment card details.
7. Analytics and Diagnostics
Dhikr Gate may collect limited analytics and diagnostic information to help improve reliability, understand feature usage, and fix problems.
This may include events such as app setup progress, feature interaction, subscription screen interaction, permission flow status, and general app performance or diagnostic signals.
We use TelemetryDeck for privacy-focused analytics. Analytics data is intended to be anonymous or not directly linked to your identity. We do not use analytics data for advertising or tracking across apps or websites.
8. Data We Do Not Sell
We do not sell your personal data.
We do not use your data for third-party advertising.
We do not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.
9. Data Sharing
We may share limited data with service providers only as needed to operate the app, including:
- Apple, for App Store purchases, subscriptions, refunds, and system permissions
- RevenueCat, for subscription and purchase management
- TelemetryDeck, for privacy-focused analytics and diagnostics
These providers process data according to their own privacy policies and applicable laws.
10. Data Retention
Most Dhikr Gate data is stored locally on your device and remains there until you delete it, reset the app, or uninstall the app.
Purchase and subscription records may be retained by Apple and RevenueCat as needed for billing, entitlement verification, fraud prevention, legal compliance, and customer support.
Analytics and diagnostic data may be retained for a limited period to improve app reliability and understand usage trends.
11. Your Choices
You can control your privacy choices in several ways:
- Disable Location permission in iOS Settings
- Disable Notifications in iOS Settings
- Change or remove selected app shielding permissions through iOS Screen Time / Family Controls settings
- Manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple ID account settings
- Delete the app to remove locally stored app data from your device
12. Children’s Privacy
Dhikr Gate is not intended to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us.
Some Screen Time and Family Controls features are provided by Apple and may involve family or child-related device settings depending on how the user configures iOS.
13. International Users
Dhikr Gate may be used in different countries and regions. Data handled by third-party services such as Apple, RevenueCat, or TelemetryDeck may be processed in countries other than your own, according to their policies and applicable law.
14. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect data handled by the app. However, no method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may notify you in the app or by updating the effective date.
Your continued use of Dhikr Gate after changes become effective means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
