Last Updated: January 1, 2026

1. Your Right to Data Deletion

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data from DeenPulse. We respect your privacy rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Google Play policies, and other applicable data protection laws.

This page explains how to request data deletion and what to expect during the process.

2. What Data We Store

Most of your data in DeenPulse is stored locally on your device, including:

  • Prayer time settings and preferences
  • Notification configurations
  • Qibla calculation settings
  • Downloaded Qur'an audio files
  • App customization choices

Limited data stored on our servers (if any):

  • Account email (if you created an account)
  • Analytics data (anonymized usage statistics)
  • Crash reports (diagnostic data)

Note: We do not store your location data, prayer history, or personal Qur'an reading progress on our servers.

3. How to Delete Your Data

Method 1: Uninstall the App (Simplest)

For most users, simply uninstalling DeenPulse from your device will delete all locally stored data:

  1. Go to your device settings
  2. Find "Apps" or "Applications"
  3. Locate "DeenPulse"
  4. Tap "Uninstall" or "Delete"

This removes all app data from your device, including preferences, downloaded content, and settings.

Method 2: Email Request (For Server Data)

If you created an account or want to request deletion of any server-stored data:

  1. Send an email to: zapps1611@gmail.com
  2. Use the subject line: "Data Deletion Request - DeenPulse"
  3. Include in your email:
    • Your email address (if you created an account)
    • Confirmation that you want all your data deleted
    • Any additional details to help us identify your account

Method 3: Clear App Data (Keep App Installed)

If you want to delete local data but keep the app installed:

  1. Go to your device settings
  2. Find "Apps" or "Applications"
  3. Locate "DeenPulse"
  4. Tap "Storage"
  5. Tap "Clear Data" or "Clear Storage"

This resets the app to its initial state as if freshly installed.

4. What Happens After Your Request

If you submit an email request for data deletion:

  • Within 2 business days: You'll receive confirmation that we received your request
  • Within 7–14 business days: Your data will be deleted from our active servers
  • Within 30 days: Your data will be deleted from backup systems

After deletion:

  • Any account you created will be permanently removed
  • You will not be able to recover deleted data
  • You can reinstall the app and use it as a new user if desired

5. Data We May Retain

In limited circumstances, we may retain certain data:

  • Legal obligations: Data required by law, regulations, or court orders
  • Anonymized data: Aggregated analytics that cannot identify you personally
  • Security logs: Necessary for fraud prevention and security purposes

If we must retain any data, we will inform you and explain the reason and retention period.

6. Third-Party Data

DeenPulse uses third-party services (such as Firebase) for analytics and crash reporting. To request deletion of data held by these services:

  • We will forward your deletion request to our third-party service providers
  • You may also contact these services directly through their own data deletion processes
  • Third-party deletion timelines may vary based on their policies

7. Google Play Compliance

  • Clear instructions for data deletion
  • Multiple methods to delete data (in-app, email, uninstall)
  • Timely processing of deletion requests
  • Transparency about what data is deleted and what may be retained
