Legal Bases
Where GDPR or similar laws apply, we process personal information based on one or more legal bases, including performance of a contract, consent, legitimate interests, compliance with legal obligations, and protection of the security and integrity of our services.
Data Sharing and Service Providers
We do not sell personal data. We may share or process data with service providers that help us operate Adhan Paper, including Google Sign-In, Firebase, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Google Play Billing, backend and cloud hosting providers, GitHub Pages for public website hosting, Microsoft 365 for business email and support communications, and other providers needed for security, operations, support, and legal compliance.
Where appropriate, we use contractual safeguards such as data processing agreements to require service providers to protect personal information and process it only for authorized purposes.
Data Storage and International Transfers
Personal information may be stored or processed in the Netherlands, Ireland, the United States, and other locations where our service providers operate. When international transfers are required, we use appropriate safeguards where applicable and work with reputable providers that maintain data protection and security measures.
Data Protection Measures
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information, including HTTPS/TLS for data transmitted between the app, backend services, Firebase, Google services, Microsoft 365, and other providers where applicable. Access to personal information is limited to authorized personnel or service providers with a legitimate need. We also use account-based access controls, monitoring, and review of access where appropriate.
Local communication with the physical Adhan Paper device may occur over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or local network connections for setup and sync.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as needed to provide the app and related services, support users, maintain security, handle purchases and refunds, meet legal or accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and prevent abuse. Some purchase, billing, security, or legal records may be retained for a limited period after an account deletion request where retention is legally or technically required.
Account and Data Deletion
You can request deletion of your Adhan Paper app account and associated data by following the instructions on the Account and Data Deletion page. Deleting your Adhan Paper app account does not delete your Google account.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of your personal information. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing that happened before withdrawal. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
