Privacy Policy
Effective date: 13 November 2026
What Zakati is
Zakati is an Android app that helps you calculate your zakah, lock the result for the year, and keep track of the payments you make toward it.
Your data stays on your device
Everything you enter in the app (zakah years, balances, gold and silver items, payments, settings and language) is stored only on your device. We run no server, and the app has no account or sign-in. We never receive, collect or store your data. The app also opts out of Android's automatic cloud backup, so the operating system does not copy this data to your Google account; use the app's own backup file if you want a copy.
Network requests
The app makes network requests only to look up public prices and exchange rates:
- Gold and silver prices:
api.gold-api.com - Currency exchange rates:
open.er-api.com
These requests contain nothing from the app: no account, no identifier, no zakah, balance or other personal or financial data. Like any web request, they expose your IP address and standard request headers to those services, which have their own privacy policies. If you are offline, or prefer not to use these lookups, you can enter prices and rates yourself.
Notifications
Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device from the zakah dates and payments you have stored. No push service or server is involved. You can turn reminders off in the app settings or in Android's notification settings.
Backup and export files
The app creates a backup (JSON) or a spreadsheet export (CSV) only when you ask. The file is handed to the Android share sheet, and you choose where it goes (for example your files, email or a cloud drive). We do not receive these files. Restoring reads a file you pick with the system file picker.
Ads, analytics and tracking
The app contains no advertising, no analytics, no tracking, and no third-party SDKs that collect data.
Children
Zakati is a general-purpose tool and is not directed at children. It collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
Deleting your data
Because the data is only on your device, you can delete it by clearing the app's storage in Android settings or by uninstalling the app. Backup and export files you created are copies you control; delete them where you saved them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at the same address with a new effective date.
