This policy explains how the Sirat mobile app, this website and our support service handle information.
Effective 12 October 2026
No account. No advertising. No cross-app tracking. Your bookmarks, notes, reading progress and worship records stay in Sirat’s storage on your device. Online features contact the providers needed to fulfil your request.
1. Who provides Sirat
Sirat is operated by Essam Elmir under the project name Sirat Foundation. Sirat Foundation is a project name, not a claim that a foundation or charity has been formally registered. Essam Elmir is the legal operator and copyright holder for original Sirat work.
The app is free to use. It does not require a user account and contains no advertising, analytics, attribution or third-party crash-reporting SDKs. We do not sell your personal information or use it to track you across apps and websites.
2. Location and place searches
With your permission, Sirat accesses your location while you use the app to calculate prayer times and Qibla direction, show nearby mosques and identify your city. Prayer calculations and mosque-distance calculations happen on your device. Your last coordinates, city and location preference are cached in the app’s local storage.
On iOS and Android, the device platform’s geocoding service can receive coordinates or place names to return a city or location. Sirat’s place-search suggestions send the text you enter to OpenStreetMap’s Nominatim service. These providers also receive the network information needed to deliver a response, such as an IP address. Sirat’s web app, where used, also uses Nominatim for reverse geocoding.
Location permission is optional. You can select a city manually and revoke permission in system settings. Sirat does not request always-on background location or use location for advertising. Only enter a place name in city search, not personal or confidential information.
3. Quran, audio and mosque information
When you request online Quran content, recitation or downloads, Sirat sends the requested Surah, ayah and reciter identifiers to Quran.com / Quran Foundation services or the selected audio host, including QuranicAudio. Those services can receive ordinary request and network information. Sirat does not send your private notes, favourites or worship history with these requests.
The current app includes a bundled mosque directory. Nearby distances are calculated locally. An optional directory-update service is not configured in this release. Mosque schedules and amenities depend on the available source information and should be confirmed with the mosque.
Directions, calls, mosque websites, external donation pages and sharing open the app or website you choose. Those services handle the information you send under their own policies. Sirat does not receive payment information from external donation websites.
A mosque correction currently opens your email app with the correction and any optional contact details you provide. You choose the recipient and whether to send it. No correction-server endpoint is configured in this release.
4. Information kept on your device
Depending on the features you use, local app storage can contain:
Prayer settings, manual adjustments, reminder choices, prayer status and cached prayer times.
Your selected city, cached coordinates and location preference.
Quran bookmarks, reading position, learning and memorisation progress, reading goals and audio downloads.
Hadith favourites, personal notes, folders and reading progress.
Dua favourites, Athkar counters, Tasbeeh counters, habit, achievement and Ramadan records.
Appearance, onboarding and widget preferences.
Sirat does not upload these records to a developer account or cloud-sync service. Your device platform may include some app data in backups according to your backup settings. Downloaded files and temporary caches are managed by the app and your operating system.
5. Notifications, sensors and sharing
Prayer, learning and Athkar reminders are scheduled locally after the relevant permissions and preferences are enabled. Sirat does not use a remote push-notification provider. Audio starts when you choose to play it and may continue in the background with media controls. Sirat does not record audio or request microphone access.
Qibla guidance uses available compass sensors on your device. Sirat does not send sensor readings to the developer. The app does not request access to your contacts, camera or photo library. Sharing an image or text passes the selected content to your system share sheet; you decide where it goes.
6. Retention, deletion and permissions
Local records remain until you delete or reset them through an available feature, clear app storage where your platform allows it, or delete the app. Downloaded audio can be removed through the download manager. Offloading an iPhone app may keep its data; deleting the app removes its local container. Device backups are controlled separately by your Apple or Google settings.
You can revoke location and notification permissions in system settings at any time. There is no Sirat server-side account to close. If you send support information to us, you can request its deletion by emailing support@withsirat.com. We retain support correspondence only as long as necessary to resolve the request and related issues, then delete it when no longer needed, except where retention is legally required.
Third-party providers can retain network requests under their own policies. We cannot delete records held independently by another provider; their privacy contacts and controls apply.
7. This website and support email
This website is hosted through OpenAI Sites and Cloudflare. Our website code does not add analytics, advertising pixels, registration forms or marketing cookies. Hosting providers process ordinary request information, such as IP address, browser details and security logs, to serve and protect the site. Platform cookies or security mechanisms may operate under their own policies.
Emails to our Sirat addresses are routed through Cloudflare Email Routing to a Google-hosted support inbox. If you contact us, these services process your address, message and any attachments. Please avoid sending private worship records, personal notes or exact location unless necessary for your request. We use what you send to respond, investigate the issue and handle privacy requests, not for advertising.
We limit app requests to the information needed for the requested feature and do not instruct these providers to advertise to or track Sirat users. External apps and websites you deliberately open have their own data practices.
Providers may process request or support information outside your country. Their published privacy terms describe applicable transfer arrangements. We do not represent that Sirat has bespoke data-protection contracts with every public content host.
9. Security and younger users
App records are held within Sirat’s app storage and are subject to your device’s security and backup settings. Internet requests use HTTPS. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.
Religious notes and worship records can be sensitive information. They are stored locally and are not uploaded to us or used to train AI models. If you choose to include them in a support request, we handle them only for that request and related privacy or security needs.
Sirat does not ask for your age or create children’s profiles. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children. A parent or guardian may contact us about information a child has sent to support.
10. Changes
We will update this policy and its effective date when data practices change. Where required, we will provide notice or seek permission before making a material change. This page describes current practices, not unimplemented future services.
