A spouse, a parent and child, classmates, or someone new to Islam who asked to be held accountable. Not a feed. Not for adding everyone you know.

Background location is only to notice travel so times can update. Calendar permission writes a dedicated "Prayer Nudge" calendar and does not read your other events. Health access (if you use Period rest) stays on device.
