Naqra is made by Giovandomenico Costantino, an individual developer based in Switzerland (“we”, “us”). You can reach us at giovandomenico.costantino17@gmail.com.
The app saves the following in its own storage on your device, so it can pick up where you left off:
This information is never sent to us. We don’t run any servers that collect it. It is deleted when you delete the app. It may be included in your own device backups (for example iCloud Backup), which you control.
If you turn on the daily reminder, the notification is scheduled by your phone itself. We don’t use a push notification service and no device token is sent to us. You can turn reminders off in the app or in your phone’s settings.
The Quran text and translations are built into the app and work offline. These features load content from the internet:
naqraapp.com, hosted by Vercel Inc., USA) provides content from the Quran Foundation: the word-by-word meanings and transliteration, which the app downloads and then refreshes about once a week; the word timings that light up each word as it is recited; and Tafsir Ibn Kathir. Our server asks the Quran Foundation for this content itself, so the Quran Foundation doesn’t receive your IP address or anything else about you. We don’t keep logs that identify you; Vercel keeps short-lived technical logs to run the service.cdn.islamic.network).quranenc.com) when you open it for an ayah.audio.qurancdn.com).As with any web request, these services receive your IP address, the file or ayah requested, and basic technical information such as your device type and operating system. We don’t send them anything that identifies you. They are independent providers and their own privacy policies apply. Their servers may be outside Switzerland and the EU.
When you share an ayah, the image or text is created on your device and handed to your phone’s share sheet. What happens next depends on the app you choose to share with.
Subscriptions are being introduced. This section applies once they are available in the app.
If you have agreed in your phone’s settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple or Google gives us anonymous, aggregated usage figures and crash reports. If you test a beta version through TestFlight, Apple shares with us the feedback and crash reports you send, your device details, and your name and email address if you were invited by email. If you test through a Google Play test track, we keep the list of tester email addresses ourselves, and Google shares the feedback you send with us.
Where Swiss or EU data protection law applies, we process the limited data described above to provide the app and the content you ask for (performance of a contract and our legitimate interest in a working app), and to provide your subscription (performance of a contract).
Data on your device is kept until you delete the app. Subscription records held by RevenueCat are kept for as long as needed to provide your subscription and to meet legal record-keeping duties, after which they are deleted.
You can ask us for access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and object to its processing. Because we don’t hold data that identifies you directly, we may need your help to find any records, for example the order ID from your App Store or Google Play receipt. Write to giovandomenico.costantino17@gmail.com.
You can also complain to a data protection authority: in Switzerland the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), or the authority in your EU country.
Naqra is suitable for all ages. We don’t knowingly collect personal data from children.
If we change how the app handles data, we will update this page and the date above. For important changes we will also let you know in the app.
