Golden Prayer Call · Last updated 6 November 2026

Golden Prayer Call is a free prayer-times app with no ads, no accounts and no tracking. It was made by Zachary Morali as Sadaqah Jariyah for his father, Ahmad Morali. This page explains exactly what the app does with information.

The short version

• No sign-up, no account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.
• Prayer times are calculated on your phone.
• Your GPS location is saved only on your phone (rounded to about 1 km) and is never sent anywhere.
• We don't collect, sell or share personal information.
• Prayer notifications are optional. If you turn them on, only the times and wording of your notifications are stored, never your location.

Location

When you use your location (the app asks the first time you open it, or when you tap "Use my location"), your phone's location is used on your phone only to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction. It is rounded to about 1 km and saved only on your phone, together with your phone's time zone (used to notice when you travel), so the app doesn't have to ask for your location every time you open it. It is never sent to us or anyone else. If your location is already allowed, or you tap "Update location" after travelling, the saved location is updated; you can choose "Keep this location" in Prayer settings to stop this. You can deny location permission and type a city instead.

City search

If you type a city name, that name (only the text you typed) is sent to the free Open-Meteo geocoding service (open-meteo.com) to find the city's coordinates. No other information about you is included. The city you choose is then saved on your phone so the app remembers it.

Mosque iqama times

If you use mosque iqama times, the app fetches that mosque's public display page from fiveprayers.org through this website, once a day. Only the mosque's ID is requested; nothing about you is sent.

What is stored on your phone

Your settings (language, calculation method, chosen city or rounded GPS location, mosque, Hijri adjustment), your adhkar counters, and your Quran page, bookmarks and text size are saved only in the app's storage on your phone. They never leave your phone. Clearing the app's data or uninstalling the app removes them.

Prayer notifications

Prayer notifications are off until you turn them on. When they are on, your phone calculates the next 14 days of prayer times itself and sends this website's notification service only what it needs to notify you: the moment of each notification, its wording (for example "Asr · العصر, It's time for prayer · 2:17 PM"), whether it should be silent, and your browser's push address. The push address is created by your phone's browser (for example Google's push service on Android) so that notifications can reach you; it doesn't contain your name, phone number or location.

We never receive your location or city. Please note that prayer times differ from place to place, so the times themselves could show the general region you are in; we don't use them for anything except sending your notifications. Each phone gets a random code instead of an account. Stored items are deleted after they are sent. Everything is deleted when you turn notifications off, or automatically if the app hasn't been opened for 30 days. To protect the service from abuse, the server counts requests per internet address for one hour at a time; the address is kept only as a one-way code that changes every hour and is deleted within two hours. Notifications are stored and sent using Netlify, the app's host, and delivered by your browser's push service.

Delete your data — Golden Prayer Call

Golden Prayer Call has no accounts, so there is nothing to sign in to or close. The only data that ever leaves your phone and is kept for a while is your prayer notification schedule (see "Prayer notifications" above). To delete it:

1. Open Golden Prayer Call.
2. On the Today tab, open Prayer notifications.
3. Untick Notify me at prayer times.

This deletes, straight away and permanently, everything stored about your phone on our notification service: your browser's push address, your random code, and your scheduled notification times and wording. Nothing is kept.

If you have already uninstalled the app, or can't open it, you don't need to do anything: data from a phone that hasn't opened the app for 30 days is deleted automatically, and nothing is sent to an uninstalled app. You can also email goldenprayercallapp@gmail.com; because we hold no names or accounts we can't look you up, but the automatic deletion above still applies.

Everything else (your settings, city, adhkar counters, Quran page and bookmarks) is stored only on your phone. Clearing the app's data or uninstalling the app removes it.

Prayer reminders

If you add prayer reminders, the app creates a calendar file on your phone that you open with your own calendar app. The app does not read your calendar.

Suggestions and sharing

"Send a suggestion" opens your own email app with our address filled in; we only see what you choose to send, and use it only to reply and improve the app. "Share this app" uses your phone's share menu and only shares the app's link.

Quran text

The Quran text comes from the Tanzil Project (tanzil.net) and is included in the app, so reading it sends nothing anywhere.

Hosting

The app's files are served by Netlify. Like any website host, Netlify may briefly keep standard technical logs (such as IP address and time of request) for security and operation. We do not use these logs to identify or track anyone.

Children

The app is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions: goldenprayercallapp@gmail.com
