Android App Permissions
MyDeen requests only the minimum permissions required to function:
| Permission | Type | Why It Is Needed |
|---|---|---|
| INTERNET | Normal | Load community posts and communicate with our API over HTTPS |
| ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Normal | Check if internet is available before network requests to show an offline message |
How We Use Your Data
- To provide the Service: Display community posts, comments, reactions, and replies so all users can see them.
- To maintain and improve the app: Detect crashes, fix bugs, understand feature usage, session lengths, and device platforms to prioritize improvements.
- Security and abuse prevention: Detect and block spam, malicious posts, or unusual API usage through IP-based rate limiting.
- Aggregate analytics only: We review de-identified, aggregated statistics (total sessions, platform splits, average session length). No individual user profiling occurs.
Public Community Content
Posts are associated with the optional display name you choose. If you provide no name, your post appears as "Anonymous". Display names are not verified and do not need to be your real name.
Community content may be indexed by search engines. You can request removal at any time by contacting us (see Section 12).
Data Retention
| Data Type | Retention Period | How It Is Deleted |
|---|---|---|
| App usage session logs | Up to 12 months from session date | Automatic deletion; or on request via email |
| Community posts & comments | Until you request removal or we remove for policy violations | Email deletion request (Section 12) |
| Reactions | Until the parent post is deleted | Automatically deleted with parent post |
| IP addresses (server logs) | 30–90 days (hosting provider rotation) | Automatic — managed by hosting provider |
Security of Your Data
- Encryption in transit: All communication between the app and our servers uses HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or higher. This applies to every API endpoint.
- Database access control: Our database is on a secured server with access restricted to the application and authorized personnel only.
- Rate limiting: API endpoints are rate-limited to prevent abuse and denial-of-service attacks.
- No password storage: No account system exists, so no passwords are ever stored.
- Input validation: All submitted data is validated and sanitized server-side before storage.
Children's Privacy (COPPA)
MyDeen - Quran, Hadith & Dua is a family-friendly Islamic companion. It contains no advertising, in-app purchases, or age-restricted content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Because community posts are publicly visible, we recommend children under 13 use the community features under parental supervision.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has posted personal information (such as their real name or school), please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will remove it promptly.
Your Rights and Choices
- Right to know: Ask us what data (if any) is linked to your session or device.
- Right to access: Request a copy of community content you have submitted.
- Right to deletion: Request deletion of your community posts, comments, and session logs (see Section 12).
- Right to correction: If your community post contains incorrect information, contact us to update or remove it.
- Right to opt out of analytics: Opt out of app usage logging in App Settings at any time — this does not affect community features.
- Right to data portability: Request an export of community posts you have submitted.
To exercise any right, email us (Section 17) with subject "Privacy Request – MyDeen". We respond within 30 calendar days.
How to Request Data Deletion
Since no user accounts exist, please identify your content using:

- The display name you used (if any)
Steps to request deletion:
