The short version
Qurb has no accounts, no ads, and no analytics. Your prayer times, your Qibla direction, your salah history and your name are worked out and kept on your own phone. Three things leave your device, and only when you choose them: a question you type into the AI assistant, an anonymous crash report, and a purchase. Everything below is the detail.
What stays on your device
- Your location. Qurb reads it to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction. That calculation happens on the phone itself — the coordinates are never sent to us and we never see them.
- Your name, if you gave one during setup. It is used to greet you and to address your reminders. It is stored on the device and never transmitted.
- Your salah record — which prayers you marked, your streak, and the patterns behind them. Kept for 120 days on the device and then discarded. It is never uploaded, and we could not read it if we wanted to.
- Your saved places, bookmarks, reciter choice and settings.
Uninstalling Qurb deletes all of it. There is no server copy to delete.
What leaves your device
- Questions you ask the AI assistant. The text you type is sent to our server and forwarded to our AI provider (Anthropic) to generate an answer. We do not keep a chat history. Fragments of an answer may appear briefly in our server logs where the app checks a Quran reference for accuracy.
- Crash reports, if you leave them switched on. They are sent to Sentry. We deliberately strip the user record and remove anything shaped like coordinates before sending. You can turn this off entirely in Settings.
- Purchases. Handled by Apple or Google and by RevenueCat, who tell us whether a subscription is active. We never see your card.
- Content requests. Fetching Quran recitations, reciter lists or wallpapers contacts our servers or a content network, which — like any web request — sees your IP address.
What we never collect
No advertising identifier. No analytics SDK. No advertising of any kind, on any tier, ever. No email address, unless you choose to give one on our website to be told when a new version is released. No account, so nothing to link your activity to.
Others involved
- Anthropic — processes AI assistant questions.
- Sentry — receives crash reports, if enabled.
- Apple, Google and RevenueCat — handle subscriptions.
- The Islamic Network and MP3Quran — host the Quran recitations the app streams. Playing audio contacts them directly, so they see your IP address.
- Your phone's own geocoder (Apple or Google) turns coordinates into a city name when you search for a place. That request is handled by the operating system, under its own privacy policy.
Children
Qurb is suitable for all ages and collects nothing that would identify a child — or an adult.
Your choices
You can deny or revoke location access at any time in your phone's settings and enter a city by hand instead. You can turn off crash reports in Settings. You can clear your name and saved places in the app. Because we hold no account and no personal record, there is nothing for us to export or erase on request — uninstalling is the complete deletion.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects what we do with your information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
