True Qibla: Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 August 2026

True Qibla is a Qibla compass and prayer times app for iPhone and Android, made by Ever After Group. This page explains what the app does and does not do with data. The short version: your precise location, prayer settings, and compass readings stay on your phone and are never supplied to advertisers.

Location

The direction of the Qibla and every prayer time depend on exactly where you are, so the app asks for location permission and reads your position from the phone's GPS when you tap "Use my location". That position is kept in the app's local storage on your device only and is used solely for calculations. It is never sent to Ever After Group, Google Mobile Ads, or any other advertiser. You can instead type a position by hand and never grant location permission. There are no accounts, sign-in, or analytics.

Sensors

True Qibla reads your device's rotation and magnetic sensors to show a compass heading. It also reports the sensor's calibration grade so you know how far to trust it. Those readings are processed on the device and go nowhere else. The "Verify with the sun" screen uses only the clock and your position.

Notifications

If you switch reminders on, the app asks for notification permission and, on newer Android versions, permission to schedule exact alarms. Reminders are scheduled on the device itself. Nothing is sent from a server, and every reminder can be silenced or switched off per prayer.

Advertising and consent

The app shows a small Google AdMob banner on selected general screens. No advert appears during onboarding, the explanation of how the compass works, or sun verification. The app does not use interstitial, rewarded, native, or app-open adverts.

Google Mobile Ads may process device identifiers, your IP address and the approximate location inferred from it, advert interactions, and diagnostic information to deliver and measure adverts, prevent fraud, and meet legal obligations. True Qibla does not add your GPS position, prayer times, compass readings, notification choices, or settings to an advert request.

Where required, Google's consent form appears before advertising starts. You can accept, refuse, or manage the available choices, and you can reopen the privacy choices from the app's Settings screen. Advertising remains separate from the app's local spiritual and location data.

Remove Ads purchase

You can make a permanent one-time Remove Ads purchase through Google Play, the Apple App Store, or Amazon Appstore. The store processes payment and supplies the app with an entitlement. Ever After Group does not receive your payment details. The app keeps a local record so adverts remain hidden, and the Restore purchase control asks the relevant store to check the entitlement again.

Other network use

The app connects to the relevant app store for purchases and restoration and to Google Mobile Ads for advertising and consent. It has no account system, remote prayer database, or analytics service.

Children

True Qibla is a general-audience tool. It is not directed at children and contains no content unsuitable for anyone.

Your rights

Because True Qibla keeps no account or personal prayer data about you on our systems, there is nothing of that kind for us to look up, correct, or delete. Your app data is on your device and under your control. You can also reset advertising consent from Settings and use the privacy controls provided by Google and your app store.
