Privacy policy

Last updated 11 November 2026

Mihrab is built to work without knowing who you are. The app has no account, no ads and no analytics, and its developer receives no data from it.

What the app stores, and where

Everything below is saved on your own devices and never sent to the developer:

• the location you chose: a city, coordinates and a time zone
• your calculation method, minute adjustments, iqama times and reminder choices
• your misbaha count and your appearance setting

If you have an Apple Watch, your iPhone passes these settings to it directly so both show the same times.

Location

Mihrab asks for your location only when you tap Use my location or start the live compass. You can decline and pick a city by hand instead. Approximate location is enough.

When you use your location, the coordinates are sent to Apple's geocoding service to find the name of the city and its time zone. The Qibla map is Apple Maps, which loads map images from Apple. Apple handles both under its own privacy policy. Mihrab does not follow you as you travel: the saved location changes only when you change it.

Notifications

Azan and iqama reminders are scheduled on your device. No server sends them, and nothing about them leaves the device.

This website

mihrab.cc sets no cookies and loads no analytics or third-party scripts. It is hosted on GitHub Pages, which, like any web host, sees the IP address of each request.

If you email a suggestion to salam@mihrab.cc, your message and your address arrive in the developer's mailbox like any other email. They are used only to read and answer your suggestion.

Children

Mihrab collects nothing from anyone, including children.

Changes and questions
