Your practice stays yours.

What stays on your device

• Bookmarks, last-read marker, prayer log, tasbīḥ counts, settings.
• Your location (used to compute prayer times on the device; it leaves only if you subscribe to prayer times in a calendar, below).
• Downloaded content packs.

What we ask our servers

• The content-pack manifest (anonymous request to api.aminly.app/v1/manifest).
• Pack downloads when you tap Download (anonymous; only the pack URL).
• Daily verse, Hijri events, live nisab — anonymous, cached.
• The News from Aminly list: an anonymous request to api.aminly.app/v1/announcements when the app opens. On by default; turn it off in Settings.

None of these requests include personal identifiers. The app uses no cookies.

Prayer times in your calendar

Only if you choose it (Prayer → Add to calendar). A subscription is a link your calendar app fetches from api.aminly.app/v1/prayer-times.ics: it carries your place rounded to two decimals (about a kilometre), your calculation method, time zone and language. Our server works out the times and keeps nothing; the answer may be cached for six hours. Google Calendar and Outlook fetch the link from their own servers, so they see it too. “Save a file instead” builds the calendar on your device and sends nothing.

Website statistics

On aminly.app (this website, not the app) we use self-hosted Umami to count visits and download-button clicks in aggregate: page, referring site, campaign tags, approximate location (country/city), and browser and device type. The Umami statistics use no cookies, do not store your IP address, and nothing is shared with third parties. The app itself sends no analytics or crash reports. The website also keeps your light or dark theme choice in your browser's local storage (aminly-theme). It is not used for tracking.

Website chat

If you chat with us on aminly.app without an account, we keep the messages and attachments you send, any name or email you give us, and basic browser data (IP address, browser and device type, the page you were on and the page that referred you). We keep them on our own servers for 12 months and then delete them. To draft our replies, the chat text is sent to Anthropic (our AI provider, based in the United States; processed on its servers there). Anthropic may use the chat text to train its AI models, because our account allows this, and may keep it for up to 5 years for that purpose. Nothing is shared for advertising. The chat uses the cookies or local storage items cw_conversation and cw_user_* so your conversation continues on your next visit; they are not used for tracking. Questions: hello@aminly.app.
