Privacy Policy — Anwar Salawat

Effective date: 2026-05-08 Package: app.salawat.android

Plain-English summary

Anwar Salawat is a fully offline reader for classical Islamic Durood and Salawat texts. It does not collect, transmit, store on any server, or share any personal data whatsoever. Everything happens on your device.

What data the app handles

The app stores the following on your device only, using Android’s standard local storage (AsyncStorage):

• Bookmarks — line IDs you mark as bookmarks
• Last-read position — which line you were viewing last in each book, so the app can scroll you back when you reopen
• Reader settings — your chosen font size and theme (light/sepia/dark)

This data never leaves your device. It is automatically excluded from Android’s Auto Backup mechanism via the app’s data_extraction_rules.xml.

What data the app does NOT collect

• No name, email, phone number, or any account information (the app has no accounts)
• No location data
• No device identifiers, advertising ID, or analytics
• No crash reports
• No usage telemetry
• No contacts, photos, files, microphone, or camera access
• No network requests of any kind during normal use

Permissions requested

The app’s installed permission set is the INTERNET permission only, which is automatically declared by the React Native framework but is not used by the app at runtime. The app makes no outbound network requests during normal operation.

The following permissions are explicitly removed from the manifest via tools:node="remove":

• READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
• WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
• SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
• VIBRATE

Children

The app is rated for general audiences. It does not target children specifically and does not collect any data from any user, including children.

Third-party services

None. The app does not integrate with any third-party SDK, analytics provider, ad network, crash reporter, or backend service.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of the app introduces network features (e.g., audio recitation streaming, cloud backup of bookmarks), this policy will be updated to disclose that before the change ships, and an in-app notice will be shown on the first launch of the updated version.
