Privacy Policy

Noor ul Bayan  •  Last updated: 7 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the mobile application Noor ul Bayan (package com.quranapp.learning) handles information. Please read it before using the app.

1. Information we do not collect

We do not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:

• Your name, email address, phone number, or any account credentials
• Your contacts, photos, files, camera, or microphone
• Advertising identifiers or analytics events
• Any information sent to a server operated by us — we do not operate one

2. Information stored on your device

The app saves the following locally on your phone so it can work the way you expect. This data never leaves your device and is not visible to us:

• Display name — the name you optionally enter on the Profile screen
• Reading position — the surah and ayah you last read
• Reading history — a short list of recently read positions
• Preferences — theme (light/dark) and font size
• Downloaded recitation audio — audio files you choose to save for offline listening

All of this is removed when you uninstall the app or clear its storage from Android Settings.

3. Location

The app requests access to your approximate and precise location for two features:

• Qibla direction — to calculate the direction of the Kaaba from where you are
• Prayer times — to calculate accurate prayer times for your location

Your location is used on the device only. It is not transmitted to us, not stored on any server, and not shared with advertisers or data brokers.

To show a readable city name, the app asks Android's built-in geocoding service (provided by Google Play Services) to convert coordinates into a place name. This request is handled by the operating system under Google's Privacy Policy.

Location access is optional. If you decline the permission, the rest of the app — including all Quran reading and audio features — continues to work normally.

4. Internet access

The app connects to the internet for one purpose only: downloading Quran recitation audio files from everyayah.com, a public archive of Quranic recitations. Only the surah and ayah number being requested is included in that request. No personal information is attached.

Once a surah has been downloaded, it plays offline and no further internet connection is needed.

5. Children's privacy

The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any personal information from them.

6. Data sharing and selling

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any user information, because we do not collect any. There are no third-party analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, or tracking libraries in this app.

7. Data deletion

Because all data is stored locally, you can delete it at any time by uninstalling the app, or from Android Settings → Apps → Noor ul Bayan → Storage → Clear storage.

8. Security

Data saved by the app is kept in the app's private storage area, which Android isolates from other applications. Audio downloads use encrypted HTTPS connections.

9. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this same address with a new "Last updated" date.
