BeaKon is a prayer times, Qibla and dhikr app. It has no accounts, no sign-in and no user profiles. This page describes exactly what stays on your device and what leaves it.
Your prayer log, settings, dhikr counts, bookmarks, saved locations and reading progress are stored only on your phone. They are never uploaded to us, and we have no server that could receive them. Uninstalling the app deletes them.
| What is sent | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your city and country, or approximate coordinates | AlAdhan prayer times API | To calculate prayer times for your area |
| Your IP address | ipapi.co | Only if location permission is unavailable, to estimate your city |
| Advertising ID | Google AdMob | To show ads |
| Anonymous crash and error details | Our reporting endpoint | To find and fix faults |
| Whatever you type, including an email address if you choose to give one | Our feedback endpoint | Only when you send feedback yourself |
| Nothing about you | Content servers | Downloading Qur'an, hadith, timetables and fonts |
Before your position is stored or sent anywhere, BeaKon rounds it to the nearest city centre. What is transmitted is a place — "Algiers" — not where you are standing. Your precise coordinates are never saved and never leave the device.
Prayer time requests carry no name, no account and no device identifier. They are not linked to you by us, and nothing in them identifies which phone they came from. They do carry your IP address, as every internet request does, which is why this page lists them rather than claiming nothing is sent at all.
BeaKon shows ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may use your device's advertising ID to select ads, and that is handled under Google's Privacy Policy. You can reset or delete that ID in your Android settings, under Privacy › Ads.
BeaKon is suitable for general audiences and does not knowingly collect information from children.
Questions, problems or requests can be sent through the BeaKon listing on Google Play — use the developer contact shown there, or leave a review and we will see it.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
