Privacy Policy — Arabic Tools (أدوات عربية)

Last updated: June 27, 2026

Arabic Tools ("we", "the app", "the site") is published by the developer of com.arabtools.arab_tools and the website arabictools.app. This policy explains what information the Android app and website use and why.

Related site: Our separate product Islamic Moon Phases (moon & Hijri calendar at islamicmoon.arabictools.app) has its own privacy policy — not this page.

Information we use

• Location — Only when you use prayer times or the Qibla compass, to calculate schedules and direction. Location is processed on your device and for prayer/Qibla services; we do not sell location data.
• Device sensors — Compass and level tools use motion/orientation sensors locally on your device.
• Local storage — Settings, Tasbih counts, and preferences are stored on your device (browser storage or Android SharedPreferences). We do not operate a user account server.
• Advertising (Google AdMob — Android app) — The free Android app shows ads. Google may collect device identifiers, IP address, and usage data to serve and measure ads, subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Advertising (Google AdSense — website) — The free website at arabictools.app may show ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, measure performance, and personalize ads where permitted. Learn more: How Google uses data in advertising and How Google uses cookies.
• In-app purchases — Purchases are processed by Google Play. We receive confirmation that you bought "Remove ads forever" to hide ads in the Android app; we do not receive your payment card details.
