Privacy, by design.

The app

Fivetide is a local-first prayer utility. Core prayer calculations, your selected place, and preferences are stored on your device. Fivetide does not collect data from the app, does not require an account, and includes no advertising or behavioral analytics. There is no developer-operated server receiving your selected location or prayer data.

The app and its widgets share the prayer information they need through storage on your device. Apple’s operating-system services, the App Store, and any device backups you enable operate under their own settings and privacy terms.

Location and permissions

You can choose a location manually. If you choose to use your current location, iPhone asks for permission. Your location is used to determine prayer times and Qibla direction. You can review or revoke permissions in iPhone Settings.

Location-related system services can be provided by Apple and operate under Apple’s own terms. The website itself does not request your location. Notification and alarm permissions, where available, are managed through iOS and the app’s settings.

This website

This website does not include analytics, advertising scripts, embedded third-party media, a mailing list, or a contact form. It does not set cookies, save a visitor identifier, or store language preferences in your browser. Language choices are ordinary page links.

Delivering a web page requires hosting and security services to process technical information such as an IP address, the requested page, browser information, and the time of a request. Those services may keep operational logs according to their configuration and retention settings.

Messages and external services

If a direct support channel is added and you choose to use it, the contact details and information you send will be processed only as needed to respond to your request. Please do not send unnecessary sensitive information. Any email service used for support would operate separately from the app’s local device storage.

Following a link to Apple or another website takes you to a service with its own privacy practices. Links do not load that service until you choose to open them.

Your choices

You can change the app’s preferences and permissions on your device. Removing the app removes its app storage according to iOS behavior; widget/shared storage and device backups may need separate attention. Any iCloud or computer backups you have enabled are managed through your Apple or computer settings.

There is no Fivetide account to close. If a direct support channel is published, questions about support correspondence or website operational logs can be raised there.

Contact and updates

Direct email support is not currently published on this website. This guide remains available for troubleshooting and will be updated if a direct contact channel is added.

When practices change, this page will be updated with a revised date. This policy is intended to remain consistent with the shipped application and its current App Store privacy disclosures.
