Privacy Policy — AshShifa

Last updated: 9 June 2026

AshShifa ("the app", "we", "us") is operated by FiveM Infotech. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app collects, why, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using AshShifa you agree to this policy.

1. Information we collect

• Account information — your name, email address, and an encrypted (hashed) password when you create an account. Optional profile details such as phone, date of birth, gender, and address if you provide them.
• Health & fitness data (steps) — if you grant permission, the app reads your daily step count from Android Health Connect to show your activity. See Section 4.
• Location — with your permission, your device location is used to calculate prayer times, the Qibla direction, and to find nearby masjids.
• Microphone / audio — used only when a masjid account chooses to broadcast the live azan ("Go Live"). Audio is streamed live and is not recorded or stored by us.
• Notifications token — a device push token so we can send prayer/azan reminders and live-azan alerts.
• Payment information — if you purchase a subscription, payments are processed by Stripe; we do not store your full card details.
• Usage & device data — basic technical data needed to operate the app reliably (e.g. app version, error logs).
• Health records / consultations — for telemedicine features, information you submit (e.g. appointments, messages with providers) is stored to provide the service.

2. How we use your information

• To provide the app's features (prayer times, Quran, azan, telemedicine, etc.).
• To create and secure your account and authenticate you.
• To send reminders and notifications you have enabled.
• To process subscriptions and payments.
• To maintain reliability and fix problems.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Who we share it with

We share data only with service providers needed to run the app:

• Stripe — payment processing.
• Expo — push-notification delivery.
• Our hosting provider — to store your account and app data securely.
• OpenStreetMap / Nominatim — to look up coordinates for masjid addresses (location lookups).
• Public Islamic-content providers (e.g. Quran and Hadith text/audio) — these receive only the content you request, not your identity.

4. Health Connect (steps) — specific disclosures

• AshShifa accesses your step count via Android Health Connect only after you grant permission.
• This data is used solely to display your own activity inside the app. It is not sold, and is not shared with third parties for advertising or any unrelated purpose.
• You can revoke Health Connect access at any time in Android Settings → Health Connect, or by turning the permission off.
• Health Connect data is not used for any advertising or marketing purpose.

5. Data retention & your choices

• We keep your data while your account is active.
• You can export your data and delete your account from within the app (Profile settings); deleting your account removes your personal data from our systems.
• You can disable location, microphone, notifications, and Health Connect permissions at any time in your device settings.

6. Security

Passwords are stored hashed, data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS), and access to stored data is restricted. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your data.

7. Children

AshShifa is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
