Privacy Policy

1. Information We Do Not Collect

The Holy Quran is an open-source, non-profit platform built for the community. We are fundamentally committed to privacy.

• •No Personal Identifiable Information (PII): We do not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or submit personal information to read or listen to the Quran.
• •Ad-Free Sacred Experience: The Quran Reader, Audio Recitations, Islamic Games Hub, QuranGPT, and all devotional tools are 100% ad-free. No commercial advertisements or third-party ad trackers are ever served on these pages.
• •Articles-Only Advertising: To cover hosting, server, and API infrastructure costs, non-intrusive third-party advertisements (Google AdSense) are displayed solely on educational article pages (/articles/*). We do not sell your data to data brokers.

2. Local Storage & Preferences

To provide a seamless and personalized experience, we use your browser's local storage to remember your preferences. This data never leaves your device.

• •Reading Preferences: Settings such as translation languages, font sizes, themes (dark/light mode), and preferred reciters are stored locally on your device.
• •Bookmarks: Ayahs you bookmark are saved in your local browser storage. Clearing your browser data will clear these bookmarks.

3. Third-Party APIs

To serve accurate Quranic text, translations, prayer times, and community features, we rely on the following third-party APIs:

• •Quran.com API: Used to fetch Quran verses, translations, and audio files.
• •Aladhan API: Used to determine accurate prayer times based on your location (if you grant location permissions).
• •Firebase / Google APIs: Used for database hosting (for community features like posts and discussions) and AI integrations.

4. Community Features and Public Data

If you choose to participate in our Community Forums (e.g., Islamic Q&A, Quran Reflections), the content you submit (text, tags) is stored in our database and will be publicly visible to other users. Please exercise caution and do not share private or sensitive information in these public spaces.

5. Analytics

We may use basic, privacy-respecting analytics (such as Vercel Web Analytics or anonymous Google Analytics) to understand aggregated traffic patterns (e.g., how many people visit the site daily). This helps us scale our servers to accommodate traffic, especially during Ramadan. These services do not track you individually across other websites.

6. Google AdSense & Third-Party Cookies (Article Pages Only)

Google AdSense advertisements appear exclusively on educational article pages (/articles/*). They are never displayed on Quran reading, listening, games, or other spiritual utility pages.

• •Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.
• •Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to our article pages and/or other sites on the web.
• •You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
