In short: ERLYQ apps collect nothing about you. Everything you record stays on your own device. No account, no server, no tracking, no ads.
This policy covers every mobile app published by ERLYQ. It begins with the principles that apply to all of them, followed by the specifics of each individual app. Where an app departs from the shared principles, that is stated plainly in its own section.
No account required. None of our apps ask you to register or to provide an email address or phone number.
Your data stays on your device. The records, preferences and settings you create in our apps are held in your device's own storage. They are not sent to any server of ours, and we hold no copy. Deleting an app permanently removes all of its data from your device.
No analytics, no trackers, no ad networks. None of our apps use analytics tools, usage statistics, crash reporting, third-party trackers, ad networks or social media plugins. Your data is never sold, rented or shared — we do not collect it in the first place. Some of our free apps show a small card promoting another app of ours; that card's text is bundled inside the app, is not a third party, and collects nothing.
Permissions are optional. When an app requests a permission such as location, camera or notifications, it does so only at the moment you use the relevant feature, and it explains why. If you decline, the rest of the app continues to work normally.
External services are limited. If an app needs to send data to an outside service in order to function, that service and exactly what is sent are listed in that app's section. Nothing else leaves your device.
Stored on your device:
This data lives in a device-local area shared between the app and its widget.
Location. The app uses your location only when you tap "Suggest goal" and grant permission. In that case your approximate coordinates (accurate to roughly 100 metres, never a precise address) are sent to the Open-Meteo service to retrieve the current temperature, since hot weather increases water needs. Your location is not stored, not linked to your identity, and never reaches us. If you decline, the calculation proceeds without temperature.
Notifications. Reminders are scheduled entirely on your device. No server is involved in delivering them, so your reminders and drinking records never leave your phone. You can turn them off in the app's settings or in iOS Settings.
Deleting. You can delete individual entries from the list, or clear the whole day with "Reset day" in settings.
Health notice. The suggested water amount is a general estimate, not medical advice. If you have an illness, are pregnant or breastfeeding, take medication or are on fluid restriction, consult your doctor before changing your goal.
Stored on your device:
This data lives in a device-local area shared between the app and its widget. It is never sent to a server of ours and we hold no copy.
Recipes work offline. All 1,940 recipes are bundled inside the app. The menu, the recipes, your kitchen and your log need no server and work fully in airplane mode. The app makes no network requests at all.
In-app promo card. When you refresh the menu, the app occasionally shows a small card describing another ERLYQ app that is live on the App Store. This is not an ad network: the card's text is bundled inside the app, no network request is made, your advertising identifier (IDFA) is never read and no data is collected. Tapping "Bak" opens the App Store; tapping "Şimdi değil" dismisses the card.
No tracking prompt. Because nothing is tracked, iOS never shows the App Tracking Transparency dialog in this app.
Notifications. The evening reminder is optional and is scheduled only when you turn it on in Profile > Settings; permission is requested at that moment, never at launch. Reminders are scheduled entirely on your device and are not delivered from a server. You can turn them off in the app or in iOS Settings.
Widget and Siri. The Home Screen widget and the "what should I cook today" shortcut read the day's menu from the shared on-device area. That area never leaves your phone.
Sharing. When you share a recipe, the text is composed on your device and handed to the iOS share sheet; you decide where it goes. We receive no copy.
Deleting. You can clear your cooking log with "Günlüğü temizle" in the Profile section. Everything else stored on your device is removed when you delete the app.
Allergy and dietary notice. Recipes are general information, not medical or dietetic advice. The vegetarian and vegan filters work from ingredient names — if you have an allergy, a condition such as coeliac disease, or any dietary restriction, check the ingredient list yourself before cooking.
Stored on your device:
This data lives in a device-only container shared between the app and its widgets.
Location. Location permission is used to show official Diyanet (Turkey) prayer times for your district and to compute the Qibla direction. Only the district is sent to ezanvakti.emushaf.net to fetch times; the widget sends approximate coordinates to Open-Meteo for the temperature. These requests are transient, never stored by us, and never linked to your identity. Without permission, the app continues with a default city.
Notifications. Adhan notifications are scheduled entirely on-device (local notifications); no server is involved. Permission is requested only if you enable the setting, and you can turn it off in the app or in iOS Settings.
Compass. The device compass is read only while the Qibla screen is open; that data never leaves your device.
Deleting. Dhikr counters can be reset in the app; everything is permanently removed when you delete the app from your device.
Each app's own deletion options are described above. To remove everything, simply delete the app from your device — we hold no copy to erase, so there is no need to contact us.
Our apps are not directed at children under 13 and do not knowingly collect data from them. Where an app carries a specific age-related restriction, it is stated in that app's section.
If this policy is updated, the effective date above changes. When a new app is released, its section is added to this page. Significant changes are announced inside the relevant app.
