Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

Gardens of the Quran does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal information, and requires no account or sign-up. We do not use analytics SDKs, advertising networks, or tracking identifiers of any kind. We have no servers that build a profile of you.

2. Data stored on your device

Everything the app remembers is stored locally on your device, under your control:

• Your reading position, settings, and chosen reciter
• Bookmarks, personal notes, and colour tags
• Memorization program, review schedule, streaks, and milestones
• Weak-spot history, the verses where you tend to stumble
• Optional recitation recordings you make during self-testing

This data is never sent anywhere unless you explicitly enable multi-device sync (see below).

3. Recitation checking

When you check your recitation, audio from your microphone is processed entirely on your device using an on-device speech model. The audio is used only to follow along with the verse in real time. Recordings you choose to keep are stored locally and are never uploaded to us or to anyone else.

4. Optional multi-device sync

Sync is off by default. If you turn it on, your bookmarks, settings, and progress are transmitted to our relay server over encrypted connections (HTTPS / WSS) and are end-to-end encrypted, so the relay cannot read your data. No name, email, or personal identifier is attached. Sync is identified only by a random, one-time code that you create and control, and which you can revoke at any time. A read-only “monitor” mode lets a parent follow a child’s progress using the same anonymous mechanism.

The relay stores only the minimum needed to pass changes between your own devices, and never shares it with any third party.

5. Network & downloads

The app reaches the network only for these purposes:

• Reciter audio is downloaded on demand from EveryAyah.com when you choose a reciter.
• The on-device speech model used for recitation checking is downloaded once, on demand, and stored locally.
• Optional sync exchanges your end-to-end encrypted data between your devices.

These requests are subject to the providers’ own infrastructure. They carry no account or advertising identifier from the app.

6. Permissions

• Internet: downloading reciter audio, the speech model, and optional sync.
• Microphone: recording your recitation for on-device checking (local only).
• Notifications: daily Hifz reminders (optional, fully user-controlled).
• Vibration: haptic feedback on interactions.

The app intentionally requests no location, contacts, storage-wide, or exact-alarm permissions, and declares no advertising or tracking permissions.

7. This website

This website is served from Cloudflare’s network. Standard, transient web-server logs (such as IP address and request time) may be processed by Cloudflare to deliver and protect the site; we do not use cookies, analytics, or advertising trackers on these pages.

There is no contact form or sign-up. If you email us, we use your message and your address solely to reply to you, and we never sell or share them with third parties.

8. Children’s privacy

The app is suitable for all ages and is safe for children: it contains no ads, no chat, no user-generated content sharing, and no data collection. Because it collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children.

9. Data retention & deletion

Because your data lives on your device, you are always in control. Clearing the app’s data or uninstalling the app permanently deletes everything stored locally. If you used sync, you can revoke your sync code to stop sharing between devices. To have any email you have sent us deleted, just write to us and we will remove it.

10. Changes & contact

We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new “last updated” date. For any question about your privacy, or to request deletion of an email you have sent us, write to us:
