AZRS App Privacy Policy
The short version
- An account is optional. You can use every tool without signing in. If you choose to create one (to sync favourites, recent tools and settings between devices), we store your email address, an optional name, a hashed password and the synced settings on our server. You can sign out any time, and delete the account yourself in the app (More > Account > Delete account), which permanently removes your email, name, password and synced data from our server.
- The app has no advertising and no third-party ad or analytics tracking SDKs. The only usage data we can receive is the optional anonymous diagnostics described below, which is off unless you turn it on.
- Your camera video, photos, files, notes and scores are processed and stored on your phone only. They are never uploaded to us.
- We do not sell your data.
What stays on your phone
The app saves these on your device so it works offline and remembers you: favourites, recently used tools, your chosen interests and settings, workout history and streaks, notes and lists you create, Quran bookmarks and reading position, saved news stories, game scores, and one-time passcode secrets you add to the authenticator tool. These are stored in the app's private storage and are removed when you uninstall the app. The authenticator tool stores its secrets on the device without extra encryption, so use a device passcode and do not rely on it for high-value accounts.
Crash log and optional anonymous diagnostics
- Local crash log (always on, stays on your phone): if the app hits an error, it saves a short note (the error message, a technical stack trace and the time) in the app's private storage. Only the last 50 are kept. It is not sent anywhere unless you turn on diagnostics. You can clear it in More, under Privacy and diagnostics.
- Usage counters (stay on your phone): the app counts how many times each tool has been opened and how many times the app was launched. No names, no content you typed or scanned, no location.
- Send anonymous diagnostics (off by default): if you switch this on in More, then at most once a day the app sends those tool-open counts, the launch count, your platform (Android or iPhone) and the last few error messages to azrscorp.com. It contains no name, email, device ID, advertising ID or location. Like any server request, our server sees your IP address; we use it only to limit how often one device can send and we do not store it with the diagnostics. Turn the switch off at any time and nothing more is sent. Diagnostic lines are kept in a size-limited log that is used only to find and fix bugs and see which tools are popular.
Permissions and why we ask
- Camera: to count exercise reps, scan QR codes and barcodes, and run camera tools. Video is analysed on the phone in real time and is not recorded or uploaded.
- Microphone: only when you open a tool that listens or records, such as the voice recorder, tuner or sound meter. Audio stays on the phone.
- Location (while using the app): to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction for where you are, and for run and walk tracking. Your location is used on the device. When you search for a city by name, the name you type is sent to a public geocoding service to find its coordinates.
- Photos: only the pictures you choose to pick, for example a logo for a QR code.
- Notifications: for prayer-time reminders, adhan, the daily workout reminder and the daily DMV practice question that you switch on. We ask for this permission only when you turn one of these on. The reminders are scheduled on your phone; no server sends them. You can turn them off in the app or in system settings.
- Motion sensors: for the compass, level, step counter and similar tools.
- Background audio: so radio and Quran recitation keep playing when the screen is locked.
Information that is sent over the internet
Most tools work fully offline. Some features contact servers to do their job:
- AZRS servers (azrscorp.com): news stories, the radio queue and audio, the tool list, friend-race rooms (a room code, a display name you type, and your race progress), and tools marked LIVE. Like any server, ours receives your IP address and basic request details in order to respond, and may keep them in short-lived logs for security and reliability.
- Quran services (such as quran.com and its audio CDN): tafsir, word-by-word text and recitation audio you choose to play.
- Public data services: for example city search (Open-Meteo), public holidays, internet speed tests (Cloudflare), chemical and food information. Only what the specific tool needs (such as a search word) is sent.
Tools that load a page from azrscorp.com show the same page as our website, adjusted for the app. The app does not show web ads, and the website's own policy at azrscorp.com/privacy covers the website itself.
Children
The app is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and the app collects no personal information from anyone.
Your choices
- Remove all app data at any time by uninstalling the app.
- Revoke camera, microphone, location, photos or notification access in your phone's Settings. The related tools will stop working but the rest of the app will.
- If you created an optional account, use the contact form to ask us to export or delete it and the synced data we hold. If you never signed in, we hold no profile for you and there is nothing to delete. For any question or request, use the contact form below and we will respond.
Medical, religious and financial information
Fitness, health, finance and religious tools are guides only. They are not medical, legal, financial or scholarly advice. Prayer times and Qibla are calculated and can differ from your local mosque, so please follow local guidance where it matters.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, we will update the date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the app. Questions: use the contact form at azrscorp.com/contact or see app support.
