Privacy Policy — Walk with Quran

Last updated: October 10, 2026

1. Who we are

2. Summary

Walk with Quran helps you track walking/steps, read and memorize the Qur’an, and count dhikr. Most worship and fitness activity data stays on your device. We do not operate a backend that stores your step history, GPS tracks, or Qur’an progress on our servers.

To improve the app, Walk with Quran sends usage statistics, device details, and crash diagnostics to our own analytics service, Andalus Studio (see section 3.4). You can turn this off at any time in Settings → Privacy.

Third-party SDKs (for example ads and purchases) may process limited data as described below.

3. Data we access or collect

3.1 Health & fitness data (on device / Health Connect)

We access health and fitness related data to power Activity and Fitness features:

• Step counts from the device pedometer / activity recognition
• Steps and related totals synced from Google Health Connect (when you grant permission)
• Workout / walk sessions you start in the app (steps, distance estimates, calories estimates, duration)
• Optional body profile values you enter (height, weight, sex) used only to improve calorie estimates

How we use it: show daily/weekly progress, walk goals, trends, achievements, and Planned Walk session stats.
Sharing: we do not sell health data. We do not upload your step or workout history to Andalus Games servers. Health Connect data is read on-device under your permission and used only inside the app.

3.2 Location data

We access precise location (and, when granted, background location) for the Planned Walk feature:

• plan a walking route that starts at your current position
• record a GPS track, measure distance, detect route deviation
• provide turn-by-turn guidance while a planned walk is active — including when the screen is locked or the app is not in the foreground

How we use it: navigation and distance for user-started planned walks only.
Not used for: ads, analytics profiling, or background tracking when no planned walk is active.
Sharing: GPS track points are stored locally on your device for the session/history features. We do not upload your live GPS track to Andalus Games servers.

3.3 Other on-device app data

• Qur’an reading / Hifz (memorization) progress and review reminders
• Dhikr / tasbih counters
• App settings (language, stride, preferences)
• Local notifications related to steps or review reminders

This data is stored in local app storage (SQLite / preferences) on your device.

3.4 Usage analytics and diagnostics (Andalus Studio)

Unless you turn it off, the app sends technical usage data directly to Andalus Studio, the analytics service operated by Andalus Games at andalusgames.com:

• a random installation ID generated by the app (not your name, email, advertising ID, or any account identifier)
• app events that describe which features are used, for example app opened, screen viewed, walk started or completed, route planning succeeded or failed, and time spent in the app
• crash and error reports (error message and technical stack trace)
• device details: manufacturer, brand and model, device type, operating system and version (Android API level), processor, memory, screen size, resolution and refresh rate, whether the screen has a notch, free and total storage (Android only), whether the device is an emulator, whether power-saving mode is on, and the app store that installed the app
• network and battery state: network type (Wi-Fi, mobile data, or offline), mobile carrier name and SIM / network country (Android only), battery level, and whether the device is charging
• language and region: device language, region and time zone, the app language, and the app version
• purchases and ads: records of in-app purchases — subscriptions, one-time purchases, and thank-you gifts (product, price, currency, and the store’s transaction ID) — and free trial starts; when ads are shown to free users, ad impressions, clicks, rewards, ads that failed to load or show, the ad network that served the ad, and estimated ad revenue

IP address and approximate location: when the app sends analytics, our servers receive your device’s IP address. We store the first and most recent IP address with the analytics record for your installation and use it to derive an approximate location (country, region, and city) and internet provider with the DB-IP Lite database (licensed under CC BY 4.0), processed on our own servers. We do not use your GPS location for analytics.

Never sent: GPS coordinates or routes, step counts, health or body data, Qur’an reading content, dhikr counts, or anything you type.
How we use it: understand which features are used, measure app stability and revenue, fix crashes, and prevent fraud and abuse. It is not used for advertising, is not sold, is not linked to your name, email, or accounts, and is visible only to authorized Andalus Games staff.
Turn it off: Settings → Privacy → Share usage statistics. Turning it off stops collection and deletes any events not yet sent.

3.5 Data processed by third parties

These providers process data under their own privacy policies.

3.6 Advertising (Appodeal)

Free users may see ads served through Appodeal (privacy policy), which works with ad partners including Google AdMob, AppLovin, BidMachine, Bidon, Digital Turbine (DT Exchange), InMobi, Mintegral, Moloco, and Liftoff (Vungle).

When ads appear: a rewarded video plays only when you choose to watch one to unlock a free day of Premium. At most one full-screen ad may appear after you finish and save a walk of 10 minutes or longer, and only after your first few days and walks, no more than about once a day. Ads are never shown during a walk, while reading the Qur’an, during dhikr or tasbih, or while recitation audio is playing. There are no banner ads.

Data processed by Appodeal and its partners: the device advertising ID (Google Advertising ID on Android; on iOS the IDFA is available only if you allow tracking when asked), IP address and the approximate location derived from it, device details (model, operating system, language, screen), app details, and ad interactions (impressions, clicks, rewards). They use this to deliver and measure ads, limit how often ads appear, prevent fraud, and — only where you have consented — personalize ads.

Consent: in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, and US states with consumer privacy laws, the app shows a consent form before any ad loads. You can change your choices at any time in Settings → Privacy → Ad privacy choices.

Remove ads: Premium (subscription, Lifetime, or a free day pass) removes all ads. Ads data is not linked to your Andalus Studio analytics, health, location, or Qur’an data.

4. Permissions (Android)

5. Data retention

• On-device fitness, location tracks, Qur’an, and dhikr data: retained on your device until you clear app storage or uninstall the app. We do not keep a separate cloud copy of this activity data on Andalus Games servers.
• Purchase / subscription records: retained by Google Play, the Apple App Store, and RevenueCat as required to provide your purchases and for legal/accounting obligations.
• Ad-related data: retained according to the policies of Appodeal and its ad partners and your device advertising settings.
• Usage statistics and crash reports (Andalus Studio): individual events and session records are deleted automatically after 60 days. After that we keep only aggregated statistics and a summary per installation, which includes the device details, the first and most recent IP address, and the approximate location described in section 3.4.

If we ever introduce optional cloud backup, we will update this policy before collecting that data.

6. How to delete your data

Because most app data is stored locally:

1. Delete local app data: Android Settings → Apps → Walk with Quran → Storage → Clear storage / Clear data, or uninstall the app. This removes local steps history, walks, Qur’an progress, and settings from the device.
2. Revoke permissions: Android Settings → Apps → Walk with Quran → Permissions (Location, Physical activity, Health Connect, Notifications, etc.).
3. Ads: change your consent in Settings → Privacy → Ad privacy choices (where offered), and reset or delete your advertising ID in Android Settings → Google → Ads (wording may vary by device).
4. Subscriptions: manage or cancel in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions, or on iPhone in Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
5. Usage statistics: turn off Share usage statistics in Settings → Privacy to delete unsent events and stop collection. Clearing app storage or uninstalling also removes the random installation ID. Events already received are deleted automatically after 60 days. To delete the summary kept for your installation, email us with the approximate date you installed the app.
6. Additional deletion request: email milanochka.llc@gmail.com with subject “Walk with Quran data deletion” and your Google Play order ID (if relevant). We will confirm what we can delete. Note: we cannot delete data that exists only on your device after you clear storage/uninstall, and we cannot delete records held solely by the app stores or ad partners beyond their controls.

7. Children’s privacy

Walk with Quran is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Your choices

• Decline optional permissions (location, Health Connect, notifications); core Qur’an/dhikr features remain available where possible.
• Disable Health sync in app Settings (if offered) and/or revoke Health Connect access in system settings.
• Get Premium (or a free day pass) to remove all ads.
• Change your ad consent in Settings → Privacy → Ad privacy choices (where offered).
• Turn off Share usage statistics in Settings → Privacy.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
