This Privacy Policy describes how WAMADAT Z LLC, doing business as Wamadat ("we," "us," or "our"), handles information in connection with Noor. Noor is developed and operated by WAMADAT Z LLC.

What stays on your device

All of your worship and reading data is stored locally, on your device only:

• Reading position, khatma progress, daily wird and reading-consistency history
• Bookmarks, saved verses and reflection notes
• Memorisation plans, review history and practice results
• App settings — theme, language, reciter, reminder time

We operate no server that receives this data. Uninstalling Noor removes it from your device, and you can also clear it in the app under Settings (reset progress, statistics or saved items).

Operating-system backups

Your device's own backup service may keep a copy of this data outside the app, under your Google or Apple account and their terms — not ours. On Android, Noor includes your reading progress, bookmarks, notes and settings in backup and device transfer so they survive a new phone. Noor deliberately excludes your saved prayer coordinates, city, cached prayer times and cached weather from cloud backup; those are carried only in a direct device-to-device transfer. To remove an existing copy, use your device's backup settings.

Features that contact third parties

Some features need to contact third parties in order to function. Ask Noor passes through Noor's proxy; other feature data goes to the relevant providers.

• Prayer times and Qibla — calculated on your device from your location. Your location is not transmitted to us for this.
• Weather — your coordinates (which may be precise) are sent to a third-party weather provider (open-meteo.com) to return local conditions.
• Quran recitation audio, where available in your edition — streamed from a third-party audio provider when you play recitations. You can pre-download recitations for offline use in Settings.
• Ask Noor (optional) — your question, recent conversation context, the selected Quran passage and relevant bundled source excerpts are sent over HTTPS to Noor's server-side proxy, which forwards them to an AI provider to generate a reply from those sources only. The proxy tries Groq first and Cloudflare Workers AI second. Both state that they do not train on what is sent: Groq is contractually not permitted to use inputs or outputs for training and may retain request data for abuse monitoring or reliability under its terms, and Cloudflare trains no models on customer content and runs open-weight models on its own network. If both are unavailable or their answers fail the output checks, Noor returns a fixed safe reply. Noor uses no other AI providers. Answers are not cached. The proxy processes the request transiently and is configured not to log message bodies. There is no chat account and no server-side conversation history; your conversation stays in app memory while the chat is open. Please do not enter sensitive personal information.
• Report an Ask Noor answer (optional) — if you report an answer from inside the app, Noor's server receives that answer, the question it answered, the reason you chose, any note you write, the app language, platform and app version. We keep each report for up to 180 days to review and improve Ask Noor, then it is deleted automatically. Reports are not linked to an account or device identifier, and your IP address is not stored with them. Nothing is sent unless you choose to send a report.
• Report a problem (optional) — opens your chosen email app with a draft addressed to contact@omniat.net. The draft includes app version, operating-system version, device model and selected app language. It does not automatically include chat history, notes, location, reading progress or worship activity. Nothing is sent until you choose to send the email.
• Nearby mosques and halal places — Android sends a search area derived from your coordinates and a category to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service, and can then open your maps app for directions. iOS uses Apple MapKit search. Noor does not build a remote location profile.

Location

Location is used for prayer times, Qibla direction, a city label and to build "nearby" search queries. Precise or approximate location is processed on-device for prayer times and Qibla, and is only sent off-device to the weather, nearby-search and system geocoding providers as described above. Manually entered coordinates can also be used by weather or nearby features; location-permission denial alone does not disable those transfers. You can deny or revoke location permission at any time in system settings; the affected features degrade gracefully.

Microphone

The microphone is used only for the optional recitation-practice feature, to compare what you recite against the verse. Speech recognition is performed by your device's own system speech service. Depending on your device, the recogniser and its settings, that system service may process audio on the device or in the cloud under its provider's terms. Noor itself does not record, store or upload your audio. Microphone access is requested only when you start a practice session.

Notifications and alarms

Used for the daily reading reminder, the Friday Surah Al-Kahf reminder and prayer-time notifications. These are scheduled locally on your device.

Children

The new online edition is intended for ages 13 and over, with no Kids section. Ask Noor is available to all Noor users without an age question. Teens should avoid sharing sensitive details: questions and recent context are sent to our proxy and the two providers, and a report you choose to send is kept for up to 180 days. Noor has no ads or tracking SDKs. Applicable privacy and consent duties remain our responsibility.

Provider terms reviewed on 9 October 2026: Groq §6.3 (22 June 2026) assigns responsibility that a minors-accessible application “complies with all applicable laws and regulations.” Cloudflare Workers AI terms (28 September 2026) make models “subject to additional terms”; no end-user age minimum was found there. The gpt-oss policy requires users to “comply with all applicable law” and states no minimum age. These clauses do not waive teen privacy duties.

Data retention and deletion

Reading, worship, notes and preference data live on your device. Uninstalling the app, or using the in-app reset options, removes that local data. A copy may still exist in your operating system's backup as described above; remove it through your device's backup settings. Noor's proxy is designed not to log or store Ask Noor conversation content; only reports you choose to send are kept, for up to 180 days. AI, weather, map, audio and system speech providers may process or retain request data under their own terms and security policies.

Security

All network requests the app controls use HTTPS. AI provider credentials are held only on Noor's server-side proxy and are never included in the app. We take reasonable precautions to protect the data processed on your device, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The effective date at the top of this page will change accordingly, and we encourage you to review it periodically.
