Privacy policy

What the app keeps on your phone

• Your choices: which fasts to show, your reminders, sounds, language and theme.
• Your answers to the monthly date check, so the dates match where you live.
• Reminders scheduled with your phone's own notification system.
• Your consent choices, the date and text version of your choice, the Home card open count and answer, pending news clean-up, and your last known Ibdar IDs for copying or deletion requests.

Your fast choices, reminders and monthly answers stay on your phone. Your phone backup may include the settings, consent record and IDs. After a restore, the optional services follow the restored choice. Deleting the app removes its local settings, but previously sent data and phone backups may remain.

Usage statistics

If you turn on Usage statistics, Google (Firebase Analytics) processes an app-instance ID, the screens you open, share taps, reminder-rule changes, contact and news opens, and app language, theme and notification language. Automatic events include first open, session start, app updates and OS updates. When Usage statistics is on, Firebase Messaging also records news notifications received, shown in the foreground, opened or dismissed, with message or campaign identifiers and names, message times, language topic and available delivery metadata. Conversion tracking is off and analytics labels are left blank. Device model, operating system, app version and approximate country or city inferred from your IP address are also processed. Your fast types, dates, monthly answers and messages you write in Contact us are never included.

Event data linked to the app-instance ID is kept for 2 months, then deleted. New activity does not extend this period. Aggregated standard reports are kept longer. Turning the switch off stops collection and resets the local analytics ID. Previously sent data can be covered by a deletion request.

News from Ibdar

If you turn on News from Ibdar, Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging and Firebase Installations) processes a push token, installation ID, device model, operating system, language, time zone and the English or Arabic news topic. News follows your app language. We send at most 2 messages a month, containing general news about Ibdar and new features or requests for feedback. Messages are never based on your fasting.

Turning the switch off stops automatic registration, unsubscribes the news topics, deletes the push token and requests deletion of the Firebase installation. On iOS, when no APNs token is available after a restart, deleting the push token and installation removes the topic subscriptions server-side. If the phone is offline, this clean-up is saved and retried on the next launch. Google removes installation data within 180 days of a deletion request.

Your choices and deletion

Both switches start off. You can choose them separately on Home or in Settings › Privacy and change your mind there at any time. Dates, reminders and widgets work with both off. Notification permission is separate from the News choice. Copy my Ibdar IDs and the deletion email use only the saved analytics app-instance ID and Firebase installation ID. If no ID was saved for a service, the email says none.

Send deletion requests to [email protected], using the IDs from Settings › Privacy. We handle requests within 30 days. Turning a service off can also open this request in your own mail app. We use emails only to reply and handle the request.

Processing and transfers

Google processes the optional service data for Ibdar under Google’s Data Processing Terms, including the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers where applicable. Processing may take place outside your country. Consent is the basis for these optional services, and you can withdraw it in Settings › Privacy.

What the app never does

No account or sign-in, no precise location, no contacts or calendar entries, no advertising identifiers or vendor ID, no cross-app tracking and no advertising SDK. No ads and no selling your data. Google signals and Firebase data sharing are off.

Ibdar adds no crash-reporting tool. Apple and Google may share anonymous crash reports with the developer if you allow that in your phone's settings.

Sharing a fast

When you share a fast, Ibdar hands a message to your phone's share sheet and you choose where it goes. The link holds only the fast, its dates, the calendar and the language, after a # sign, so it is never sent to our website's server.

This website

The site uses no cookies, no analytics and no third-party scripts. It is hosted by Cloudflare, which, like any web host, processes your IP address and basic request details to deliver pages and protect the site. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

If you choose Light or Dark with the theme button, your browser remembers that choice on your device. It is not a cookie and is never sent to us.

Children

Ibdar is not aimed at children. Both optional services are off by default.

Changes and contact
