Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies to the Birİz app (hereby referred to as "Application") for mobile devices, created by Birİz (hereby referred to as "Service Provider") as an Ad Supported service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".

Information Collection and Use

The Application does not require an account and does not ask for your name, e-mail address or phone number. It collects the following information:

• Location: used only to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction. You can choose your city manually instead of sharing your location. Your exact position stays on your device; when prayer times are requested from the Aladhan prayer time service, coordinates are rounded to about 1 km. Your province and district name are stored with your anonymous user ID.
• Anonymous user ID: a random identifier created by Firebase so that your donation points and settings can be kept. It is not linked to your name or contact details.
• Device identifiers (Advertising ID): used by Google AdMob to show and measure ads and to prevent ad fraud.
• App interactions: which screens you open and which features you use, collected by Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the Application is used, and by AdMob for advertising.
• Crash logs and diagnostics: collected by Firebase Crashlytics when the Application crashes, so that errors can be fixed. AdMob also collects diagnostic information.
• Technical information: such as your IP address and operating system version, which is sent automatically to the services above when they are contacted.

Advertising

The Application shows ads through Google AdMob, and ad revenue is used for donations. AdMob may use your Advertising ID and the information above to show and measure ads. You can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads at any time in your device's settings (Settings → Google → Ads).

Third Party Services

The Application uses the following third-party services, which have their own privacy policies:

• Google Privacy Policy (Google Play Services, AdMob, Firebase)
• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services
• Google AdMob
• Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics
• Aladhan prayer time service (receives rounded coordinates only)

We do not sell your data. All data is encrypted in transit.

Data Retention and Deletion

The data linked to your anonymous user ID is kept for as long as you use the Application. If you wish to have your data deleted, please contact us at info@birizapp.com.tr.

Compliance with Local Laws (KVKK)
