Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 28, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Understand Quran ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you use the app, a username is automatically generated for you. You may optionally:

  • Change your username
  • Set a password for cross-device sign-in

Passwords are hashed using SHA-256 encryption before being stored. We never store plain-text passwords.

Learning Progress Data

We store the following data to provide the learning experience:

  • Words you've marked as "understood"
  • Words you've starred for review
  • Daily learning activity timestamps
  • Weekly progress statistics

Locally Stored Data

The following data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted:

  • App preferences (font size, language settings, notification preferences)
  • Cached word data for offline use
  • Notification time settings

Feedback

If you submit feedback through the app, we collect the message content and your user ID to improve the app.

Analytics Data (Firebase)

We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with the app. Firebase automatically collects:

  • Country and city (approximate location based on IP address)
  • Device model, operating system, and screen resolution
  • App version and language settings
  • Session duration and screen views
  • Number of active users (daily, weekly, monthly)
  • User retention and engagement metrics

This data is collected in aggregate and is not used to personally identify you. It helps us understand our user base and improve the app experience.

Advertising Data (Google AdMob)

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements in the app. AdMob may collect:

  • Your Advertising ID (Android Ad ID)
  • Device information (model, OS version)
  • IP address (for approximate location-based ad targeting)
  • Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks)

We display the following ad formats: banner ads, interstitial ads, rewarded ads, native ads, and app open ads. Rewarded ads allow you to earn bonus learning words by voluntarily watching an advertisement.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and maintain the learning experience
  • Sync your progress across devices
  • Deliver daily learning reminders (if enabled)
  • Improve the app based on feedback and analytics
  • Display relevant advertisements to support free access to the app
  • Analyze app usage trends to enhance features and performance

Data Sources & Accuracy

The core linguistic data of our app is derived from renowned sources. We use the following authentic translations to provide meaning for the Quranic text:

  • English Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali (RA)
  • Urdu Translation: Fateh Muhammad Jalandhary (RA)

To determine which words appear most frequently, we developed a custom, comprehensive Quran Search Engine that scans the entire Uthmani script of the Quran to calculate the exact frequency count of every single root word and its variations.

While we strive for absolute perfection, errors can occur as everything is ultimately human-written and compiled. If you spot any mistakes in Arabic text, translations, or functionality, please report the bug using the Feedback section within the app so we can promptly correct it for all users.

Data Storage

Your data is stored securely on Supabase, which provides enterprise-grade security including encryption at rest and in transit. Our database is hosted in a secure cloud environment.

Third-Party Services

We share data with the following third-party services:

  • Google Firebase Analytics — Receives anonymized usage and device data to generate analytics reports. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Google AdMob — Receives advertising ID and device data to serve ads. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Supabase — Stores account data, learning progress, and feedback. Governed by Supabase's Privacy Policy.

We do not sell your personal information to any third parties.

Account Deletion

You can delete your account at any time from the Settings menu within the app. Account deletion will permanently remove:

  • Your user account
  • All learning progress and word interactions
  • All starred and understood word records

This action is irreversible. You will need to enter your password to confirm account deletion. Note: Deleting your account does not delete analytics or ad data already collected by Google, which is governed by Google's own data retention policies.

Children's Privacy

Our app is suitable for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 beyond what is described in this policy. Ads shown to users under 13 are limited to age-appropriate content in compliance with Google's policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
