Why We Need Your Location

Prayer Times Accuracy: Eman Buddy requires your location to provide accurate prayer times. Prayer times vary significantly based on your geographical location, and we need your precise location to calculate the correct times for:

• Fajr (Dawn prayer)
• Dhuhr (Noon prayer)
• Asr (Afternoon prayer)
• Maghrib (Sunset prayer)
• Isha (Night prayer)

Qibla Direction: Your location is also used to determine the correct direction of the Kaaba for prayer orientation.

Data Storage: Your location data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly enable cloud synchronization features.

How Notifications Work

Eman Buddy sends notifications to help you maintain your daily prayer schedule and Islamic practices:

• Prayer Time Alerts: Notifications 5-15 minutes before each prayer time
• Quran Reading Reminders: Daily reminders for Quran reading goals
• Dhikr Reminders: Gentle reminders for daily dhikr practices
• Islamic Calendar Events: Notifications for important Islamic dates

Control: You can customize notification settings, including timing, frequency, and which types of notifications you receive. You can disable notifications entirely at any time through your device settings or within the app.
