Privacy Policy

Modeh Ani — Morning Prayer Alarm

Overview

Modeh Ani is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, transmit, or store personal data on developer-operated servers. App settings remain on your device; if you grant location, iOS may send coordinates directly to Apple for city-name reverse geocoding.

Data Storage

All app data — including your alarm settings, day preferences, gender selection, and optional location — is stored locally on your device using app storage. We do not operate a server for this data and cannot see it.

Notifications

The app uses alarm and notification permissions exclusively to schedule your morning prayer alarm. Alarms are scheduled locally on your device using Apple's AlarmKit framework. No push notification server is involved.

Shabbat & Holiday Detection

Jewish holiday dates and sunset boundaries are calculated on-device using built-in Modeh Ani code. No external calendar service is involved.

When you choose to enable the Shabbat skip feature, the app will request access to your device's location so it can calculate candle-lighting time (18 minutes before sunset) and nightfall (42 minutes after sunset) for your exact position. Your latitude and longitude are stored on your device and are never sent to developer-operated servers. The app may send coordinates directly to Apple's reverse-geocoding service to display your city name. You can decline the location request and still use the app — Shabbat skip will then fall back to a calendar-day approximation without sunset precision.

No Accounts or Sign-In

Modeh Ani does not require or offer user accounts, sign-in, email collection, or any form of registration.

No Analytics or Tracking

The app contains no analytics SDKs, no tracking pixels, no crash reporting services, and no telemetry of any kind. We do not know how many people use the app, how often they use it, or how they interact with it.

No Advertising

The app contains no advertisements and no advertising SDKs.

Third-Party Services

Modeh Ani does not use analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, or developer-operated data processors. If you grant location, iOS may use Apple's location and reverse-geocoding services to provide coordinates and a city name to the app.

Children's Privacy

The app does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
