Waqfa is built to protect your privacy completely. The app runs entirely on your device.
Waqfa has no account, no login, and no servers. We do not collect, transmit, or store any personal data off your device.
Waqfa uses your location only to calculate accurate prayer times, and that calculation happens entirely on your device using the open-source Adhan library. Your location never leaves your phone and is never sent to us — we have no servers to send it to.
Waqfa uses Apple's Family Controls (Screen Time) framework to block the apps you choose until you complete your prayer. Your app selections and prayer activity stay on your device, managed by iOS. We never see them.
Waqfa contains no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party trackers. Nothing about your usage is transmitted anywhere.
All app data lives on your device. Deleting the app removes it.
Waqfa collects no data from anyone, including children.
If this policy ever changes, we'll update this page.
