What the app stores

Tap to Dhikr stores your phrase library, routines, recitation counts, session timestamps and history, daily goals, progress, and app settings on your device. These records provide the counter, history, and garden features. Settings and widget snapshots may also be shared with the app’s widgets through Apple’s App Group storage.

Your iPhone and Apple Watch

The app uses Apple’s WatchConnectivity framework to exchange phrase information, settings, and count updates between your iPhone and paired Apple Watch. This allows the companion apps to keep your counting state up to date.

Optional private iCloud sync

iCloud sync is off by default. If you turn it on in Settings, the app can store and synchronize its data using your private CloudKit database associated with your Apple account. This requires an iCloud account. Apple processes that data under its own service terms and privacy policies. You can disable sync in the app; disabling sync does not itself erase copies already stored in iCloud.

Optional Friends sharing

Friends sharing is off until you enable it. When enabled, the app publishes a snapshot to Apple’s public CloudKit database containing the display name you enter, your total recitations for the current day, the day, and update and expiry timestamps. An invite code identifies the snapshot. Apple’s CloudKit service also maintains record identifiers and ownership information needed to operate and manage those records.

Other app users can use your invite link to retrieve your shared daily snapshot. Invite links contain your invite code and the display name you chose, so anyone you send a link to can see that name, including on the invite web page. The public database is not a private, end-to-end encrypted channel between friends. Do not use a display name that includes personal information you do not want to share. Your individual phrases and detailed recitation history are not included in the public snapshot. Your saved friend codes and local friend list are not published as a list.

Shared recitation totals can reveal religious practice and are linked to your display name and invite identifier. Only enable sharing if you are comfortable publishing this information.

When you add a friend from an invite link, the app also saves a small friend request to the public CloudKit database containing your invite code and theirs, so their app can add you back. It contains no names, phrases, or counts. Someone who holds a person’s invite link could look up the requests addressed to that link and see which invite codes, and so which shared snapshots, have added them.

Invite from Contacts uses Apple’s contact picker. The app does not request access to your contacts; it only receives the phone number you choose, to address the message, and does not store or upload it.

Choose Stop sharing in Friends to delete the app’s current and supported legacy public snapshots. This requires connectivity and the iCloud account that owns the records. Snapshots are marked with an expiry time, and the app hides stale daily totals; an expiry timestamp is not a guarantee that a record is automatically erased from Apple’s infrastructure.

Profile safety and reports

The app checks display names before publishing and displaying them. You can report a profile from its options menu or invite screen. A report opens an email for you to review and send to the developer, including the reported name, invite code, CloudKit record and ownership identifiers when available, app version, your selected reason, and any details you add. The developer receives your email address and this information when you send the email. We use it to investigate abuse, respond to you, and moderate public profiles. Copying a report or saving a draft does not submit it.

Blocking stores the profile code and available CloudKit ownership identifier locally to hide that account and its invites on this device, including after an invite-link reset. Blocks are not published. You can unblock profiles in Friends or Settings. Blocking does not make your public snapshot private or prevent someone with your invite link from reading it. Stop sharing to remove your public snapshot.

Apple Health

This release does not access or write Apple Health data.

Support messages

If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include. We use it to respond to your request and troubleshoot issues. Please do not send unnecessary sensitive information. Support correspondence is retained while needed to handle the request and reasonable follow-up, or where retention is required by law. You can request deletion by contacting us below.

This website

This website does not include advertising, tracking pixels, third-party analytics scripts, account registration, or a contact form. Fonts and images are hosted with the site. Our hosting providers, Vercel and its infrastructure providers, may process standard request information such as IP address, browser information, requested URLs, and timestamps to deliver, secure, and operate the site. Provider-level operational retention is controlled by those services.

Sharing and third-party services

We do not sell your app data or use it for behavioral advertising. Apple processes data needed for iCloud, CloudKit, Apple Watch connectivity, and private iCloud sync. The website’s hosting providers process information needed to serve the site. Information is shared for those functions and when required by law, rather than with advertising networks.

Retention and deletion

Local counting records remain on your device until you remove them or remove the app. Undo and Reset affect the selected phrase’s current-day count; they are not a delete-all-history control. Removing the app may not remove copies in iCloud, device backups, or the public Friends database.

To remove a shared Friends snapshot, stop sharing inside the app before removing the app. To manage private iCloud copies or backups, use your Apple account’s iCloud storage controls where available. If you need help or have a deletion request, contact us. We will explain what we can remove and what remains under your or Apple’s control.

Your choices

• Use the counter without creating an app account.
• Leave private iCloud sync and Friends sharing off.
• Stop Friends sharing and choose what display name you publish.
• Report a profile and manage blocked profiles in Friends or Settings.
• Contact us about access, correction, or deletion of information you have sent us.

Children

Tap to Dhikr is not specifically directed to children. We do not knowingly request personal information from children through the counter. If you believe a child has shared personal information through Friends or a support message, contact us so we can help address it.
