Introduction
Al Quran (“we”, “our”, or “us”), developed by Design World Ltd., respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our application.
Our app provides users with a comprehensive Quranic experience, including reading the Holy Quran (15-line Hafezi script & Text mode) and listening to high-quality audio recitations. While many features work offline, some functionalities (like audio streaming, downloading, ads, and billing) require an internet connection.
By downloading or using this app, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
a. Personal Data
We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, phone number, email address, or physical address. You can use the app without creating an account.
b. Non-Personal Information (Automatically Collected)
To improve app performance and provide advertisements, we may collect non-personal data through third-party services (e.g., Google Play Services, AdMob). This may include:
Device type and model
Operating System (OS) version
App usage behavior (e.g., crash logs, performance diagnostics)
Advertising ID (AAID) for ad personalization
c. User-Created Data (Local Storage)
All your personal preferences and tasks, including Bookmarks, Playlists, Favorites, and Downloaded Audio Files, are stored locally on your device's internal storage.
We do not upload this data to our servers.
If you uninstall the app or clear app data, this information may be lost permanently.
2. Permissions Used and Why
We request specific permissions to ensure the app functions correctly. Here is a detailed explanation of why we need them:
INTERNET (android.permission.INTERNET):
Required to stream audio recitations from servers, download Surahs for offline use, display advertisements (AdMob), and process subscriptions via Google Play Billing.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE (android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE):
Used to check if your device is connected to the internet before attempting to stream or download content, saving your mobile data.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE (android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE & FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK):
Essential for playing Quran recitations in the background. This allows you to listen to the Holy Quran even when you minimize the app or turn off your screen.
WAKE_LOCK (android.permission.WAKE_LOCK):
Used to keep the CPU running while audio is playing, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted playback when the screen is off.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS (android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS):
Required (on Android 13+) to display the audio player controls (Play, Pause, Next, Previous) in the notification bar so you can control playback from outside the app.
3. How We Use Information
We use the collected non-personal data solely for:
App Functionality: To play audio, manage downloads, and save your reading progress.
Improvement: To analyze crash reports and fix bugs (via Google Play Console).
Monetization: To display relevant advertisements (via AdMob) and manage premium subscriptions.
We do not sell, rent, or trade any user data to third parties.
This app uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you (via Advertising ID). Please review their privacy policies:
4.1 We use Firebase services (Google’s analytics and diagnostic tools) to improve app stability and understand user engagement.
