1. Introduction
Welcome to Noor Al-Huda. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our web application and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
2. Local Storage and Data Collection
Noor Al-Huda is designed as a privacy-first Progressive Web Application (PWA). We do not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers. All user-specific data, including:
- Saved bookmarks (Quranic verses and Hadiths)
- Reading progress and playback states
- UI preferences (Language, Theme, Audio settings)
are stored strictly locally on your device using browser technologies like localStorage and IndexedDB.
3. Third-Party APIs and Services
To provide you with content, our application makes direct requests from your browser to the following public APIs:
- Quran.com API & AlQuran.cloud API: Used for fetching Quranic text and translations.
- EveryAyah.com: Used for fetching audio recitations.
- Google Translate TTS: Used as a fallback for text-to-speech audio rendering.
When your browser makes these requests, your IP address and standard browser headers are visible to these third-party services. Please review their respective privacy policies for more information on how they handle such data.
4. Compliance with Information Technology Act, 2000 (India)
This document is published in accordance with the provisions of Rule 3 (1) of the Information Technology (Intermediaries guidelines) Rules, 2011 that require publishing the rules and regulations, privacy policy, and Terms of Use for access or usage of a computer resource. Since no sensitive personal data or information (as defined under the IT Act, 2000 and the SPDI Rules, 2011) is collected by Noor Al-Huda, the stringent compliance requirements for data handling and grievance officer appointment are inherently mitigated. However, we remain committed to upholding the spirit of digital privacy and security.
5. Changes to the Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected directly in this document within the application. Because we do not collect contact information, we cannot notify you of changes; we encourage you to review this policy periodically.
