Privacy Policy
Waqt for iOS · Effective 20 August 2026
The whole policy in one sentence
Waqt has no servers, no accounts, and no analytics — nothing you do in the app is transmitted anywhere, to us or to anyone else.
What Waqt stores, and where
Your settings, your check-ins (one timestamp per prayer window), and your progress pattern are stored in a local database on your iPhone, inside Waqt's own app container. They sync nowhere. Deleting the app deletes them. The only value that survives reinstalling is the free trial's start date, kept in your device's keychain so the trial cannot be restarted.
Screen Time and the apps you choose
Waqt uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework in individual mode to shield the apps you select. Apple designed this framework so that apps like Waqt receive only opaque tokens — Waqt cannot see which apps you chose, and neither can we. Shielding decisions happen entirely on-device. Waqt never sees what you do inside any app.
Location
Prayer times require a location. If you allow location access, Waqt reads an approximate (city-level) position on-device to calculate times, and never transmits it. You can instead pick a city manually from a built-in list and never grant location access at all.
Worship is not data
Waqt never attempts to verify prayer — no camera, no microphone, no motion sensing, no location checks. A check-in is a single tap taken on trust. There is deliberately no social feature, no sharing, and no export of your record: it exists for you alone.
Purchases
The one-time unlock is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We receive no payment details and no personal information — Apple provides us only anonymous, aggregate sales statistics.
Children
Waqt is a self-restriction tool for individuals, uses Screen Time's individual authorization only, and has no parental-control or child-account features.
