Last Updated: February 27, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Mutaba ("we," "our," or "us"). Mutaba is a mobile and web application designed to help Muslims track their daily ibadah (worship), read the Quran, follow prayer times, and enhance their spiritual journey.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Mutaba application on Android (Google Play Store), iOS (App Store), or the web version. Please read this policy carefully. By using Mutaba, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Preferences & Settings: Language preferences, prayer time calculation method, notification settings, and display preferences (dark/light mode).
  • Ibadah Data: Prayer tracking records, fasting logs, Quran reading progress, tasbih counts, personal notes, and Ramadan checklists that you create within the app.
  • Custom Items: Any custom ibadah items, personal notes, or dzikir configurations you add.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Location Data: With your explicit permission, we access your device's location to provide accurate prayer times and Qibla direction. Location data is processed on-device and through third-party APIs (AlAdhan, BigDataCloud) but is not stored on our servers.
  • Device Information: Device type, operating system version, app version, and screen dimensions for optimizing your experience.
  • Usage Analytics: Anonymous usage patterns (e.g., which features and screens are accessed) to improve the app. We use Aptbase (aptbase.awans.id) to collect screen navigation data. No personal data is included in analytics.

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

  • We do not collect your name, email address, or phone number.
  • We do not require account registration.
  • We do not collect payment information.
  • We do not track your browsing history outside the app.
  • We do not sell your data to third parties.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Provide accurate prayer times based on your location.
  • Display correct Qibla direction.
  • Store your ibadah tracking data locally on your device.
  • Calculate Hijri calendar dates.
  • Personalize your app experience (theme, language, preferences).
  • Improve app performance and fix bugs through anonymous analytics.

4. Data Storage & Security

4.1 Local Storage

All personal data — including ibadah records, Quran reading progress, tasbih counts, notes, and preferences — is stored locally on your device using secure storage mechanisms. We do not maintain central servers that store your personal worship data.

4.2 Third-Party API Calls

The app makes requests to the following external APIs:

  • AlAdhan API (aladhan.com) — for prayer times and Hijri calendar conversion. Only your latitude/longitude coordinates are sent.
  • BigDataCloud API (bigdatacloud.com) — for reverse geocoding (converting coordinates to city names). Only coordinates are sent.
  • Aptbase (aptbase.awans.id) — for tracking screen navigation and anonymous usage analytics.
  • equran.id API — for Quran text data. No personal information is sent.
  • BekalIslam.online — for doa/supplication data. No personal information is sent.
  • Rumaysho.com — for Islamic article content. No personal information is sent.

4.3 Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect your information, including:

  • Data encryption in transit (HTTPS for all API calls).
  • Local storage with platform-native security (AsyncStorage on React Native).
  • No transmission of personal worship data to external servers.

5. Third-Party Services

Mutaba uses the following third-party services:

  • Google Play Store / Apple App Store — for app distribution (their respective privacy policies apply).
  • Expo / React Native — app development framework (no personal data shared with Expo).
  • Aptbase — anonymous analytics for screen tracking.
  • AlAdhan.com — Islamic prayer times API (see their privacy policy).
  • BigDataCloud — reverse geocoding API (see their privacy policy).

6. Children's Privacy

Mutaba is suitable for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or applicable age in your jurisdiction). The app does not require registration and stores data only on the device.

7. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your data:

  • Access: All your data is stored on your device and is accessible to you at all times.
  • Deletion: You can delete all app data by clearing the app's storage or uninstalling the app.
  • Portability: Your data is stored locally and can be managed through your device's settings.
  • Opt-out of Location: You can revoke location permissions at any time through your device settings. The app will function without location access, but prayer times and Qibla features will be limited.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
