Local Data

Ad Supported

Welcome to Prayer Lock. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our app handles your data, what permissions we require, and exactly why we require them. Prayer Lock is designed to help you stay connected with God through daily prayer reminders and app-blocking features that minimize distractions during your prayer time.

Information Collection & Use

We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal identifiable information (PII) to any external servers. The core features of Prayer Lock operate locally on your device using Room Database and DataStore for all preference storage.

Your prayer schedules, selected apps to block, and all settings are stored exclusively on your device and are never uploaded or shared. We use Google AdMob as a third-party service that may collect certain information to provide advertisements, as described in Section 03.

No PII Collected Local Storage Only Room DB / DataStore

Permissions We Request & Why

Prayer Lock requests only the permissions essential for its core functionality. We are committed to using each permission strictly for the purpose outlined below — nothing more.

♿

BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE

A — Accessibility Service API

Used solely for the App Blocking feature. When you schedule a prayer time and select apps to block, the Accessibility Service monitors which app is in the foreground. If a blocked app is opened during your prayer time, the service detects it and displays a block screen — reminding you to focus on prayer.

✦ We do not use this to collect, store, or transmit passwords or sensitive information.
✦ We do not monitor screen content or keystrokes.
✦ No data obtained through this service is shared with any third party.

📦

QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES

B — Query All Packages

Required to display a list of all installed applications so you can choose which apps to block during your prayer time. Your installed app list is processed entirely locally on your device and is never collected, uploaded, or shared.

🖥️

SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW

C — Display Over Other Apps

When a blocked app is launched during your prayer time, this permission allows Prayer Lock to display the block screen overlay over the restricted app — preventing access until your prayer time is complete.

⏰

SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM · POST_NOTIFICATIONS

D — Exact Alarms & Notifications

Prayer Lock allows you to set precise daily prayer times. Exact alarms and notifications ensure you are reliably reminded at the exact time you have chosen — even if your device is in doze mode or locked. All scheduling is handled locally on your device with no remote server involvement.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party service that may collect information used to identify you. This service operates independently under its own privacy policy.

AdMob

Google AdMob — Advertising

Used to display advertisements that support free access to Prayer Lock. AdMob may collect and use your device's Advertising ID, network state, and other usage data to provide personalized ads. Your prayer data, app block lists, and personal preferences are never accessible to AdMob. For more information, please review Google's Privacy & Terms at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Crashlytics

Firebase Crashlytics — Crash Reporting

Used to monitor app stability and diagnose bugs so we can deliver a more reliable experience. Crashlytics collects crash traces, device state at the time of a crash (OS version, device model, app version), and non-fatal error logs. It does not collect or access your prayer schedules, blocked app lists, or any personal preferences. For more information, visit firebase.google.com/support/privacy.

🔒

Data Security

Since Prayer Lock operates primarily offline and stores your preferences locally using Room Database and DataStore, your data is as secure as your device itself.

We do not maintain any servers that store your personal app data.
Your prayer schedules and blocked app lists are stored in local device storage only.
No personal data is transmitted over any network by our app itself.
Uninstalling Prayer Lock permanently removes all locally stored data from your device.

🔄

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the Effective Date at the top.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Continued use of Prayer Lock after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
