Last Updated: May 17, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Noor Alhuda. This Privacy Policy explains what data is used by the app, why it is used, and how it is protected.

Information We Use

1. Location Data (While Using the App)

What is used: Your device location (GPS coordinates) while you use location-based features.

Why it is used:

• Prayer Times: Calculate accurate prayer times for your location.
• Qibla Direction: Determine direction to the Kaaba.

How it is handled:

• Core prayer and qibla calculations are done in the app.
• Location data is not sent to our own servers.
• Location data is not used for ads or tracking.
• Location data is not sold or shared by us.

2. Device/Platform Data

The app may access basic platform information required for compatibility and normal operation (for example: OS/app behavior and local settings handling).

3. Local User Preferences

The app stores user preferences locally on your device, such as:

• Language choice.
• Prayer-related settings.
• Quran bookmarks and reading progress.
• Counters and in-app preferences.

Storage is local (e.g., SharedPreferences/Hive/SQLite) and is not uploaded to our servers.

Third-Party Services

• We do not use third-party analytics SDKs for user tracking.
• We do not use advertising SDKs.
• We do not require account registration.
• We do not use quranenc.com or mp3quran.net.

If your device OS provides geocoding/location-provider services (for city/address resolution), those requests are handled by your platform provider according to their privacy terms.

Information We Do NOT Collect

• Personal identity data (name, email, phone number) through app signup.
• Passwords or account credentials.
• Payment/financial data.
• Contacts or call logs.
• SMS content.
• Advertising identifiers for profiling/tracking.

Your Controls

You can:

1. Revoke location permission at any time from device settings.
2. Clear app data from your device settings.
3. Uninstall the app to remove local app data.
