Fasomo privacy policy

Effective date: 3 November 2026

Fasomo is a fasting tracker for the Hijri calendar. This policy explains what the app stores, what leaves your phone and why. If you have a question, write to support@fasomo.site.

What stays on your phone

These are stored in the app's private storage on your device:

• Your fasting log: the days you marked as fasted, missed in Ramadan, or made up.
• The days you owe from earlier years.
• Your Ramadan checklist.
• Your reminders, your settings and your language choice.
• The city you picked or your approximate location (see below).
• Today's date and your next fasting day, for the home-screen widget.

The app has no account and does not send any of this to us or to anyone else. If Android backup is on for your device, Android may include the app's data in your backup to your Google account. That backup is managed by Google under your account's settings.

Uninstalling the app deletes this data from your phone. You can also delete it in your phone's settings: Apps → Fasomo → Storage → Clear storage.

Location

The app uses a location for the sky on the home screen and for prayer times: sunrise, sunset, the sun and moon, suhoor and iftar. Until you choose one, it uses Makkah. You can choose in either of two ways:

• Pick a city from the list built into the app. This needs no permission.
• Tap to use your device's location. The app asks for approximate location only, never precise location, and never in the background.

Your position is rounded to about one kilometre and saved on your phone. Everything is worked out on the phone, and the app does not send your location anywhere.

You can turn location off at any time in your phone's settings; the app then keeps the last saved location.

Notifications and announcements

Fasting reminders are scheduled on your phone and need no internet connection.

To receive occasional announcements, such as the confirmed start of Ramadan or Eid, the app uses Firebase Cloud Messaging, a service from Google:

• Firebase gives your device a push token and an installation ID, and Google receives them to deliver messages.
• The app subscribes to one announcements topic for the language it is shown in (English or Arabic). It does not register you as a person or send any of your fasting data.
• Google's handling of this data is described in the Firebase privacy and security information.

If you switch off notifications for Fasomo in your phone's settings, announcements and reminders are no longer shown. Uninstalling the app stops the push token being used, and Firebase deletes inactive tokens after a period of time.

Sharing and backups

If you share a fasting day, the app creates an image card and hands it to the app you pick in your phone's share sheet.

If you export a backup, the app creates a file with your reminders, settings, location, Ramadan checklists and fasting log, and hands it to the place you pick in the share sheet. The file is not encrypted, so keep it somewhere you trust.

Nothing is shared unless you do this.

What the app does not do

• It shows no ads and uses no advertising ID.
• It has no analytics or crash reporting.
• We do not sell or share personal data.

Children

Fasomo is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

Changes to this policy

If the app starts handling data differently, this policy is updated before that version is released, and the effective date above changes.
