Privacy Policy — Qur'aan Soomaali - Quran with Tajweed (SomaliQuran)
_Last updated: 28 June 2026_
Qur'aan Soomaali - Quran with Tajweed ("the app") is an Islamic reference app for reading the Qur'an
with Somali translation, listening to recitation, reading hadith, and viewing
prayer times and the Qibla direction. Your privacy matters. This policy explains
what the app does and does not do with your information.
## Summary
**We do not collect, store, sell, or share any personal data.** The app has no
user accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. Everything you do
in the app stays on your device.
## Location
If you use the prayer-times or Qibla features, the app asks for your location.
Your location is used **only on your device** to calculate prayer times and the
direction of the Qibla, and to display the name of your city. The city name is
looked up using Apple's on-device geocoding. **Your location is never sent to
us or to any third-party server, and it is never stored off your device.**
You can use the rest of the app (Qur'an, audio, hadith) without granting
location access.
## Data stored on your device
The app saves your preferences and progress locally on your device only — for
example your last-read position, bookmarks, calculation method, tasbīḥ count,
and any audio you choose to download for offline use. This information never
leaves your device and is removed if you delete the app.
