Privacy Policy

This policy covers the mobile apps published by Al Marfa Technologies — currently Al Quran and Sharah Kitab at-Tawheed — and this website, kitabattawheed.com. Our apps are built to be private by design: there are no accounts, no advertising, no analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and no third-party trackers. We have no servers that your personal data could be sent to.

The short version

• We collect nothing. No personal data leaves your device to us — we have no backend.
• Everything an app remembers (your place in the text or audio, bookmarks, downloads, and settings) is stored only on your device.
• Your location never leaves your device — it is used only by Al Quran to calculate prayer times locally.
• The only network activity is content you ask for: streaming or downloading audio, and fetching an app's catalog. No identifiers or accounts are sent.

What the apps store on your device

To make reading and listening comfortable, the apps keep small files locally: your last position, bookmarks, downloaded audio, and your preferences (language, theme, font size, and similar). In Al Quran this also includes your reminder and reading-light settings; in Sharah Kitab at-Tawheed it includes your lecture progress, downloaded lectures, and study progress. This data stays in the app's private storage, is never transmitted to us or anyone else, and is removed when you uninstall the app.

When the apps use the internet

Both apps work offline. When you actively request online content, the app makes a standard web request to fetch it — nothing is uploaded from your device:

• Al Quran — optional verse recitation (Mishary Rashid Alafasy) is streamed on demand from islamic.network, a free Islamic-services CDN, and cached on your device so replays work offline. If you never play audio, Al Quran makes no network requests at all.
• Sharah Kitab at-Tawheed — the lecture catalogue and lecture audio are fetched from our own content network on kitabattawheed.com (Cloudflare) when you browse, stream, or download a lecture.

As with any web request, the server providing that content sees the request's IP address and which file was asked for — this is inherent to how the internet works. The apps send no user identifiers, accounts, or analytics along with these requests. Al Quran's audio provider is a third party; its own practices are described at islamic.network.

Location (Al Quran only)

If you use prayer times in Al Quran, the app asks for your device's location. Prayer times are calculated entirely on your device; your location is not sent to any server. If you decline the permission, the rest of the app works normally. Sharah Kitab at-Tawheed does not request location at all.

Notifications

All notifications are local — scheduled and shown by your device, never pushed from a server. Al Quran uses them for Sunnah and prayer-time reminders (and on Android may request the exact-alarm capability so reminders fire on time); Sharah Kitab at-Tawheed uses them for download progress and audio playback controls. No notification data leaves your device, and neither app uses push notifications.

What we don't do

• No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs in the apps.
• No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
• No accounts, sign-ins, or cloud sync.
• No selling, sharing, or processing of personal data — we never receive any.

This website

This site (kitabattawheed.com) uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and measures only aggregate, anonymous traffic (such as page views and referrers) — it builds no cross-site profile of you and sets no tracking cookies. On-site search runs entirely in your browser. The site shows no ads.

Children

Both apps are suitable for all ages. Because they collect no data, they collect no data from children.

Deleting your data

All app data lives on your device. Uninstalling an app removes it completely. There is nothing to delete on our side, because we never received anything.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of an app changes any of the above (for example, a new online feature), we will update this policy and revise the date above before that version ships.
