1. Introduction

Welcome to Namaz Call Blocker (NCB), founded and developed by Mohd Danish. This application is designed as a focused devotional utility to help users maintain uninterrupted peace and focus during Islamic prayer times (Salah).

We operate under a transparent two-tier privacy framework: all core call screening and prayer features execute 100% locally on your device, while third-party mobile advertising (Google AdMob) is integrated solely to keep the application free for millions of Muslims worldwide.

2. Core On-Device Features

Namaz Call Blocker provides automated local functionality during user-configured prayer slots:

• Automatic incoming call rejection during active Salah prayer slots.
• Automatic device audio mode switching between Normal, Silent, Vibrate, or Do Not Disturb.
• Optional automated SMS dispatch to callers notifying them that you are praying in the Masjid.
• On-device history logs of blocked calls and VIP whitelist contacts.

3. Personal Data Protection Guarantee

Your personal communication data never leaves your smartphone.

The application requires no user accounts, passwords, or cloud sign-ups. Your phone numbers, contact address book, SMS auto-reply text content, call screening records, and local prayer timetable adjustments are stored exclusively in your device's physical memory. We do not operate remote databases to store your personal communications, and we will never sell or monetize your contact records or private messages.

4. Android System Permissions Explained

The app requests Android operating system permissions strictly necessary to execute its functions:

5. Local Storage & Data Deletion

All user settings, custom prayer times, whitelist contacts, and blocked call records are saved strictly in your device's local sandboxed database (SQLite / Room).

How to delete your data: You retain complete control over your information. You can permanently erase all application data at any time by navigating to Android Settings > Apps > Namaz Call Blocker > Storage > Clear Data, or by simply uninstalling the application.

6. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob)

To provide Namaz Call Blocker as a free utility without requiring paid user subscriptions, our Android app integrates Google AdMob (provided by Google LLC).

The Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect and process certain technical information, including:

• Device Identifiers: Google Advertising ID (GAID / AAID), Android ID, and operating system build details.
• Approximate Geolocation: Coarse location inferred from your IP address to serve regionally relevant and language-appropriate ads.
• Ad Interaction Metrics: Information regarding ad impressions, clicks, view duration, and technical performance/diagnostic data.

This data is handled directly by Google under their privacy principles. For comprehensive information about how Google uses data from apps that use its services, please consult Google's Privacy & Terms at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

7. Advertising Choices & Opt-Out

You have full control over interest-based advertising on your Android device:

• Reset or Delete Advertising ID: On Android 12+, go to Settings > Google > Ads and tap "Reset advertising ID" or "Delete advertising ID". This disconnects past ad interaction history from future requests.
• Opt Out of Personalization: You may also opt out of personalized ads via your Google Account Settings or by choosing non-personalized ads in the in-app consent dialog. When opted out, you will still see ads, but they will be contextual rather than based on your browsing interests.

9. Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe an underage child has provided personal information through our contact channels, please notify us immediately so we can promptly delete it.

10. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new Android OS capabilities, Google AdMob SDK upgrades, or Google Play Developer Policy amendments. Any revisions will be published on this URL with an updated effective date.
