DuaSpot Privacy Policy

Who we are

DuaSpot is made by Etechbyabbas LLC (E Tech, etechbyabbas.com), a limited liability company registered in New Mexico, United States. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean Etechbyabbas LLC.

What this policy covers

This policy is about the DuaSpot app for iPhone and Android. The website etechbyabbas.com has its own Privacy Policy.

Information we collect

None. There is no account. The only server the app uses for us is a file server that sends the recitation audio (see Listening to recitations); the app sends it no personal data. We do not collect personal data, we do not store it on our servers, and we do not share it with anyone.

What stays on your phone

The app saves these things in its own storage on your phone:

• your favourites and your own lists;
• your counts in the counter, and the duas you marked as memorized;
• your settings;
• the recitations you have already listened to, so they play again without the internet.

We never receive any of this.

Backup of your favourites and lists

So that you do not lose them, your favourites, lists, counts and memorized marks are backed up only through your own account:

• iPhone: in your own iCloud, using Apple's iCloud key-value storage, when your phone is signed in to iCloud.
• Android: by Android Auto Backup to your own Google account, when Google backup is turned on for your phone. On Android this backup also keeps your settings. Downloaded recitations are not backed up.

This backup is kept by Apple or Google under your account and follows their privacy policies. We cannot see it.

Listening to recitations

The recitations and the translation voices are not inside the app (only four short samples of the reciters' voices). When you tap Listen on a verse for the first time, the app plays and saves that verse's audio from DuaSpot's own copy of the audio files on Cloudflare (a file server Cloudflare, Inc. runs for us), or, if it does not answer, from EveryAyah.com or the Islamic Network's audio server (cdn.islamic.network, the service behind alquran.cloud). The same happens when you choose Download recitations, and, if the switch Save today’s dua audio by itself is on, for today's dua when the app opens with internet. Like any web server, these servers see your device's IP address when they send a file. Cloudflare handles these requests under its own privacy policy; we have not turned on request logs, and we receive no personal data.

After that, the audio is kept on your phone and plays without the internet.

The daily reminder

The daily reminder is a local notification: your phone schedules it and shows it at the time you choose. Nothing is sent to us. The app asks for permission to show notifications only when you turn the reminder on. You can turn it off in the app or in your phone's notification settings.

What we do not do

• No ads.
• No analytics and no tracking.
• No crash reporting.
• No third-party SDKs that collect data.
• We do not sell or share any data.

Children

The app collects no data from anyone, children included.

Deleting your data

Uninstalling the app removes everything it saved on your phone. The backup in your iCloud or Google account is managed in that account. We hold no copy of your data, so there is nothing for us to delete.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page and the date at the top will change.
