Back to Salati Kids

Welcome to Salati Kids ("the App," "we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1 Use of the App

Salati Kids is a parental control application designed for Muslim families. The App allows parents to restrict access to selected apps on their child's device until the child has completed their Islamic prayer (Salah).

Key features include:

  • App locking: The App uses the Screen Time API on iOS and the Accessibility Service on Android to block access to selected apps during prayer times.
  • Prayer verification: On-device AI (Google ML Kit) analyzes camera input in real time to detect prayer positions and verify that the child has performed their prayer.
  • Prayer time calculation: The App uses your approximate location to calculate accurate Islamic prayer times for your area.
  • Progress tracking: Parents can view their child's prayer completion history through the app dashboard.

The App is intended to be installed and configured by a parent or legal guardian on a child's device. It is a tool for building prayer habits and is not a substitute for parental supervision or religious instruction.

2 Accounts

Parent Account

To use the App, a parent or legal guardian must create an account using a valid email address and password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

Child Profile

The parent creates a child profile within the App, which includes the child's first name, age, and gender. The child links to the parent's account using a 6-digit code generated by the parent. The child does not need to provide an email address or create a separate account.

You agree to provide accurate information when creating accounts and profiles. You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

3 Subscriptions and Payments

Subscription Required

An active subscription is required to use Salati Kids. The subscription unlocks all features, including child profiles, AI prayer verification, a parent dashboard with detailed analytics, app blocking, and bedtime lock scheduling. Subscription pricing varies by region and is displayed in your local currency through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Billing

All payments are processed through the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). Subscription management, including renewals and cancellations, is handled through your respective app store account. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription status across platforms.

We do not directly collect or store your payment information. Refund requests must be directed to Apple or Google, as applicable, in accordance with their refund policies.

4 Third-Party Services

The App relies on the following third-party services to function:

  • Firebase (Google): Used for user authentication, cloud data storage (Firestore), and push notifications. Subject to Firebase Terms of Service.
  • RevenueCat: Used to manage subscription status and in-app purchases across iOS and Android. Subject to RevenueCat Terms of Service.
  • Google ML Kit: Used for on-device pose detection during prayer verification. All processing happens locally on the device. Subject to ML Kit Terms of Service.
  • Apple App Store / Google Play Store: Used for app distribution, payment processing, and subscription billing.

We are not responsible for the practices or policies of these third-party services. We encourage you to review their respective terms and privacy policies.

5 Restrictions

When using the App, you agree not to:

  • Attempt to bypass, disable, or circumvent the app-locking or prayer verification features.
  • Use the App for any purpose other than its intended parental control and prayer habit-building function.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the App.
  • Use the App to monitor, track, or control any person who is not your own child or legal dependent.
  • Use the App in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.
  • Share your account credentials with unauthorized third parties.
  • Exploit the App to harass, intimidate, or harm any individual.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe you are violating these restrictions.

6 Age Requirement and Parental Consent

The App is designed for use by children ages 7 to 18, under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. A parent or legal guardian must create the account, install the App on the child's device, and configure all settings.

COPPA Compliance: For children under the age of 13, a parent or legal guardian must provide verifiable consent before the child uses the App. By creating a child profile and linking a child's device, the parent affirms that they are the child's parent or legal guardian and that they consent to the child's use of the App and the collection of limited data as described in our Privacy Policy.

Children cannot create accounts on their own. The parent is responsible for all activity on linked child profiles. If we learn that a child under 13 is using the App without verifiable parental consent, we will promptly delete the associated data.

7 AI Prayer Verification Disclaimer

This App uses on-device AI to detect prayer positions. It is a parental tool for building prayer habits, not a religious authority. The AI verification is approximate and may not perfectly assess the quality or correctness of prayer in all cases. Consult your local imam or qualified scholar for religious guidance.

The prayer verification feature uses Google ML Kit's pose detection to identify key body positions associated with Islamic prayer (standing, bowing, prostration). This analysis happens entirely on your child's device in real time. The AI does not evaluate the spiritual quality of the prayer, nor does it provide religious rulings.

We continuously work to improve the accuracy of prayer detection, but we do not guarantee that the system will correctly identify every prayer session. False positives (accepting non-prayer activity) and false negatives (rejecting valid prayer) may occasionally occur.

8 Camera Usage

The App requires camera access on the child's device solely for the purpose of prayer verification. The following privacy safeguards are in place:

  • On-device processing only: All camera data is processed locally on the device using on-device AI. No images, video, or camera data are ever transmitted to our servers or any third party.
  • No storage: The App does not save, record, or store any images or video from the camera. Camera frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded.
  • No cloud processing: Prayer verification does not use any cloud-based AI service. Everything runs on the device itself.
  • Parent-controlled: The parent enables this feature during setup. The child cannot be verified without the parent having configured the App.

Camera permission can be revoked at any time through the device's system settings, though this will disable the prayer verification feature.

9 Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the App's reliability, accuracy, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

Specifically, we do not guarantee that:

  • The App will function without interruption or errors.
  • Prayer times calculated by the App will be perfectly accurate for every location and calculation method.
  • The AI prayer verification will correctly identify every prayer attempt.
  • The app-locking feature will block all apps or prevent all workarounds on every device and operating system version.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Salati Kids and its developers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the App. This includes, but is not limited to, damages related to missed prayers, incorrect prayer times, failed prayer verification, or inability to access blocked apps.

Our total liability for any claim arising from the use of the App shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or fifty US dollars ($50), whichever is greater.

10 Account Deletion

You may delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the App. Upon account deletion:

  • Your parent account and all linked child profiles will be permanently removed.
  • All prayer completion logs, settings, and personal data stored in our systems will be deleted.
  • Any active subscription will continue until the end of the current billing period, but will not renew. You must separately cancel your subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to avoid being charged.

Account deletion is irreversible. Once your data is deleted, it cannot be recovered. If you wish to use the App again after deleting your account, you will need to create a new account.

You may also request account deletion by contacting us at support@salatikids.com.

11 Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, features, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page.

For significant changes, we will notify you via email or through an in-app notification. Your continued use of the App after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the revised terms, you should stop using the App and delete your account.
