Privacy policy
In short: Daily Miftah collects no personal data. There is no account, no advertising and no tracking, and nothing about you or your phone use is sent to us or to anyone else.
Who is responsible
Daily Miftah is published by an independent developer based in the Netherlands. You can reach us at hello@dailymiftah.com.
What the app stores on your phone
The app keeps a small amount of information on your device so that it can work:
- Your settings: language, how many ayahs you read each day, your reading order and your place in the Quran.
- Today's lock state: whether you have read today, and any snooze or pause you have set.
- Your reading history: one entry per day saying whether you read and which ayahs, used to show your streak and progress.
This information never leaves your phone through the app. We cannot see it.
What the app does not do
- It does not ask for your name, email address, phone number or location.
- It contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting tools.
- The Android app does not have permission to use the internet, so it cannot send data anywhere.
- It does not read your contacts, messages, photos or files.
- It does not sell or share data, because it has none to share.
Permissions the Android app asks for, and why
- Usage access: to notice when another app comes to the front, so the reading screen can be shown before your daily ayah is read. The app looks only at which app is in front at that moment. This is checked in memory and immediately discarded; it is never saved, logged or sent.
- Display over other apps: to show the reading screen on top of other apps.
- Notifications: to show that the daily lock is active, as Android requires for an app that runs in the background.
- Alarms and reminders: to wake the app at the start of each new day (4 AM).
- Run at startup: so the daily lock still works after the phone restarts.
The phone app, emergency calls and system settings are never blocked.
Screen Time on iPhone
On iPhone the app uses Apple's Screen Time features to shield apps until you have read. Apple designed this so that the app cannot see which apps you have or which ones you open. The iOS app has no networking code. Its notifications, which open the reading screen, are created on your phone and are not sent through any server.
Backups
If you have turned on device backup, your phone's own backup service may include the app's data:
- Android: your settings and reading history can be included in the backup to your own Google account, so that a new phone keeps your streak. Today's lock state is left out.
- iPhone: the app's data is included in your iCloud or computer backup.
These backups are made by Google or Apple under their own privacy policies and your own settings. We have no access to them.
Deleting your data
Uninstalling the app, or clearing its data in your phone's settings, deletes everything it has stored on the device. Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing for us to delete.
Children
The app collects no data from anyone, including children.
This website
This website uses no cookies, analytics or third-party scripts. The company that hosts it may keep standard technical logs, such as IP addresses, for security.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever starts to collect any data, for example anonymous usage statistics to improve it, this policy will be updated first, the change will be explained in the app, and you will be able to turn it off. The date at the top shows when the policy last changed.
