The team responsible for Suroor Al-Salik (سرور السالك) respects user privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information and data may be handled when you use the application.

By using Suroor Al-Salik, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

1. App and Developer Information

2. Information the App May Process

Suroor Al-Salik is designed so that its core user features can be used without creating a traditional user account.

The app may process limited technical information required to provide its functionality, including a secure randomly generated guest or session identifier used to associate features such as favorites, bookmarks, and reading history with the correct user.

This identifier is not intended to identify the user's real-world identity and does not itself contain the user's name, telephone number, or email address.

The app may also store user preferences such as timezone selection, Hijri date adjustment, display preferences, favorites, bookmarks, and reading history.

3. Favorites, Reading History and Bookmarks

When users use features such as favorites, bookmarks, or reading history, this information may be stored on the application's servers and associated with a secure random guest identifier.

This information is used only to provide the requested functionality, such as retrieving saved duas, ziyarat, or previously viewed content.

This information is not used for targeted advertising.

4. Date and Timezone

The application may use the device timezone or a timezone selected by the user to determine the current date and day, daily religious content, and Gregorian and Hijri dates.

If the user selects an option to use their local time, the application may rely on timezone information provided by the device operating system.

The application does not need to collect precise GPS coordinates solely to determine the user's timezone unless a future feature specifically requires location access and the appropriate permission is obtained.

5. Hijri Date

The application uses a technical Hijri calendar calculation and may apply calendar adjustments configured within the application.

A global adjustment maintained by the application's administrators may be combined with a personal adjustment selected by the user.

These preferences are not used to identify the user.

6. Device and Technical Information

The application, hosting provider, or infrastructure services used to operate it may process limited technical information needed to provide and protect the service.

This may include request information, IP address, basic connection information, timestamps, and technical or security logs when necessary.

Such information is used to operate the service, troubleshoot errors, prevent abuse, and maintain security.

7. Administrative Authentication

The public user application does not provide users with access to administrative accounts.

Administrative content-management functions are protected separately.

Administrative passwords are protected using secure password hashing and are not intended to be stored in readable plain text.

8. How Information Is Used

Information processed by the application is used only for legitimate purposes required to operate, improve, and protect Suroor Al-Salik.

These purposes may include providing favorites, bookmarks and reading history, saving user preferences, determining the appropriate date and daily content, delivering requested religious content, preventing unauthorized activity, and troubleshooting technical problems.

We do not sell users' personal information.

9. Sharing of Information

We do not share user data with third parties for the purpose of selling personal data or targeted advertising.

Limited information may be processed by technical service providers used to operate the application's hosting, database, or infrastructure where necessary to provide the service.

If additional third-party services are introduced in the future, such as analytics, crash-reporting, notification, or advertising services, this Privacy Policy and applicable Google Play disclosures will be updated where required.

10. Advertising

Suroor Al-Salik does not use favorites, reading history, or personal application preferences to create targeted advertising profiles.

If advertising services are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Depending on the service, safeguards may include encrypted communications, secure random session tokens, server-side authorization checks, protected administrative authentication, and access controls.

No electronic transmission or storage system can, however, be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Data Retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide application functionality, maintain security, or comply with legitimate legal obligations.

Guest-related information may be deleted or disassociated when it is no longer needed or when a valid deletion request is received.

Limited technical or security logs may be retained for a reasonable period where necessary to investigate errors, prevent abuse, or protect the service.

13. Data Deletion Requests

Users may request deletion of data associated with their use of the application by contacting:

surooralsalk@gmail.com

Please identify the request as relating to Suroor Al-Salik (سرور السالك).

If personal user accounts are introduced in the future, an appropriate method for requesting deletion of the account and associated data will be provided in accordance with applicable requirements.

14. Device Permissions

The application does not request sensitive device permissions unless they are required for a clearly identified user-facing feature.

If a future feature requires access to sensitive information or device permissions, users will be informed of the purpose and permission will be requested where required.

15. Third-Party Services

The application may rely on hosting, database, infrastructure, or other technical service providers necessary to operate the service.

Such providers may process limited technical information necessary to perform their services.

This Privacy Policy will be updated if a third-party service materially changes the way user information is collected, used, or shared.

16. Children's Privacy

We aim to handle the information of all users in a privacy-conscious manner.

Personal information from children should not be collected without an appropriate legal basis or consent where applicable.

If we learn that a child's personal information has been collected improperly, we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

17. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the application's functionality, data practices, legal requirements, or application-store requirements change.

The updated version will be published on this page, and the "Last Updated" date will be revised.
