Ar-Rayyan does not collect, store, or share any personal data. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party services. The app does not connect to any server.
Ar-Rayyan uses your device's location to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction. This happens entirely on your device. Your location is never transmitted, stored remotely, or shared with anyone, including us.
The automatic rak'ah counter uses the front camera and depth sensors to detect sujood (prostration) during prayer. All processing happens on your device in real time. No photos, videos, depth data, or face data are ever recorded, saved, or transmitted. Nothing leaves your phone.
If you enable prayer time notifications, they are scheduled locally on your device. No notification data is sent to any server.
Prayer times shown on Apple Watch, widgets, and complications are synced directly between your own devices using Apple's frameworks. We have no access to this data.
Ar-Rayyan does not collect data from anyone, including children.
If the app's privacy practices ever change, this page will be updated and the change will be noted in the app's update notes.
