Ultimate Muslim Companion (“UMC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app may collect, how it is used, and the choices you have when using the app.

1. Information We Collect

UMC is designed to collect only the information needed to provide its features. Depending on which features you use and which permissions you grant, the app may collect or use the following information:

App Preferences: Settings such as calculation method, notification preferences, saved locations, favorite items, theme preferences, and similar app choices may be stored to personalize your experience.
Notification Information: If you enable reminders, UMC may use notification permissions and, where applicable, a device push notification token to deliver reminders or app-related notifications.
Support Communications: If you contact us for support, we may receive your email address, message content, screenshots, and any information you choose to include.
Diagnostics and Usage Data: If enabled in the app or provided by Apple, we may receive crash logs, performance information, and basic diagnostic information to improve reliability.

5. Third-Party Services

UMC may rely on Apple services and may use third-party providers for hosting, maps, analytics, crash reporting, notifications, or support. These providers process information according to their own privacy practices and only as needed to provide their services.

6. Data Retention

App preferences stored on your device remain until you change them, delete them, or uninstall the app. Support communications may be retained as needed to respond to your request and maintain business records. Diagnostic information may be retained for a limited time to improve app reliability.
