Welcome to Zakereen — Islamic Mindfulness Companion. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines what information this browser extension collects, how it is used, and how it is protected.
Zakereen is designed to be privacy-first. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII).
Any data required for the extension to function is stored locally on your device using your browser's secure local storage (chrome.storage). This includes:
Your preferred settings (Theme, Reminder frequency, Calculation methods).
Your location inputs (City and Country names) to calculate prayer times.
Your local Dhikr/Tasbih counts and daily breakdown.
None of this data is ever sent to our servers, nor do we have access to it.
To provide accurate prayer times, Zakereen makes a standard, anonymous HTTP GET request to a public third-party service:
AlAdhan API (api.aladhan.com): We send the City, Country, and Calculation Method you entered in your settings to this API strictly to receive the day's prayer time schedule.
We do not use any tracking pixels, analytics software (like Google Analytics), or data brokers within this extension.
Zakereen requires certain browser permissions strictly to perform its core functions:
activeTab / Content Scripts: Used exclusively to display a non-intrusive, floating Dhikr reminder on the screen you are currently viewing. It does not read your browsing history, passwords, or page content.
alarms & idle: Used to run a background timer for your reminders and to automatically pause those reminders if you walk away from your computer.
notifications: Used solely to alert you when a prayer time is approaching.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time if new features are added. Because we do not collect your email or contact information, we encourage you to review this page periodically.
Zakereen is an open-source project. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this privacy policy, you can view the source code or open an issue on our official GitHub repository: https://github.com/iamaanahmad/zakereen-extension
