Privacy Policy

Quran Comfort
Last updated: February 2026
Your privacy matters to us. Here's how we handle your data — simply and transparently.
📱

What Stays on Your Device

The following data is stored locally on your phone and never transmitted:

  • Your favorite verses and personal notes
  • Spiritual Journal entries — your private reflections, mood journals, and general reflections
  • Mood-Based Journal — journal entries linked to specific emotions (gratitude, anxiety, hope, etc.)
  • General Reflections — freeform journal entries for daily spiritual reflection
  • Verse Notes — personal notes attached to specific Quran verses
  • App settings (theme, font size, preferred translation)
  • Your name (if you chose to share it during onboarding)
  • Search history and mood exploration statistics
  • Emotional check-in history and progress tracking
  • Listening journey statistics (audio recitation time, streaks)
  • Cached Quran surahs (for offline reading)
  • Cached mood-based verses (for faster loading)
🔒 Your reflections are completely private. We never see, access, or transmit your personal notes, journal entries, emotional check-ins, or favorites. Everything stays on your device. The Journal screen is also screenshot-protected for additional privacy.
💾

Data Caching

To provide a seamless experience, we cache data locally on your device:

  • Quran Surahs: Full surah content is cached for offline reading (stored up to 1 year)
  • Mood Verses: Verses for each mood are cached for faster loading (stored up to 6 months)

You can clear all cached data anytime via Settings → Clear Cache. This removes both Quran surahs and mood verses from your device.

📊

Anonymous Analytics

To improve the app experience, we collect anonymous usage data via Firebase Analytics:

  • Which moods and features are most popular
  • App crashes and errors (to fix bugs)
  • General usage patterns

This data is completely anonymous — it is not tied to any personal identifier, device ID, or account. We cannot identify you or trace any data back to you personally.

📅 Data Retention: Anonymous analytics data is retained on Firebase servers for up to 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted. Aggregated reports may be kept longer for trend analysis.

🚫 Opt-Out Options:

  • Device-level: Go to your device Settings → Google → Usage & diagnostics → Turn off
  • Limit ad tracking: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization
  • Complete opt-out: Uninstalling the app stops all data collection immediately
🚫

What We Don't Collect

We never collect or transmit:

  • Your email address or phone number
  • Your location
  • Your contacts or photos
  • Payment or financial information
  • Your personal notes or favorites
  • Your mood selections or emotional check-ins
  • Your journal entries or personal reflections
  • Any data that could personally identify you
💜

Sensitive Data (Health & Wellness)

Quran Comfort includes features that involve sensitive emotional and spiritual data:

  • Mood Selection: When you select how you're feeling, this is stored locally only
  • Emotional Check-ins: Your check-in history stays on your device
  • Journal Entries: Both mood-based and general reflections are completely private
  • Progress Tracking: Streaks and statistics are calculated locally
🛡️ Privacy by Design: We intentionally built Quran Comfort so that sensitive emotional data never leaves your device. There is no cloud sync, no AI processing, and no server-side storage of your personal feelings and reflections.

Why we made this choice: Your emotional and spiritual journey is deeply personal. We believe this data should stay between you and Allah, not on any company's servers.
