🗂️ 7. Data Retention

Since all app data (preferences, settings, alarm state) is stored locally on your device using SharedPreferences, you can delete all data at any time by uninstalling the App or clearing App data via Android Settings → Apps → Ummah Hub → Storage → Clear Data.

We do not maintain any server-side database of user data and therefore have no retention schedule to apply.

👶 8. Children's Privacy

Ummah Hub is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete such data.

🔒 9. Security

All data stored by the App resides on your device and is protected by Android's standard application sandboxing. Network requests to Quran APIs and CDNs are made over HTTPS. We do not operate any backend servers that store your personal data.

🔄 10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify users via an in-app notice. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
