Short summary: نور بۆ منداڵان (Noor for Kids) is an educational app for children to read and listen to the Quran. The app does not collect personal information. Internet permissions are used only to download Quran MP3 files and to check network availability.

1. What this policy covers

This Privacy Policy explains what information (if any) the app collects, how it is used, and how we protect children’s privacy. The app is intended for children and families and follows Google Play families guidance where applicable.

2. Permissions used by the app

The app requests only the following Android permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Purpose: the app uses the internet and network-state permission solely to download Quran recitation audio files (MP3) and to check whether the device is online before attempting a download. We do not transmit, collect, or store personal user data when performing these actions.

3. Information we collect

  • No personal information. We do not ask for or store names, email addresses, phone numbers, identifiers, or any personal profile data inside the app.
  • No analytics. The app does not use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) or advertising SDKs that collect usage data.
  • Download files. The app downloads audio files (MP3) to your device storage so the child can listen offline. These files are stored only in the app's download folder and are not uploaded anywhere by the app.

4. How we use the internet permission

When the app needs to play a recitation that is not already downloaded, it will request an internet connection and download the audio file. The app checks network state to avoid failed downloads on offline devices. Downloads are only initiated when the user requests them (for example by tapping a download/play button).

5. Children’s privacy and compliance

This app is designed for children. We adopt the principle of data minimization: we collect no personal information and we avoid third-party services that gather children's data.

For Google Play compliance and the Designed for Families program, the app:

  • Does not show behavioral advertising to children.
  • Does not collect identifiers or children’s personal information.
  • Only requests network permissions to download educational audio content.

6. Storage and security

Audio files downloaded by the app are saved to the app's private storage (or to the device storage in a dedicated folder if the app offers that option). We recommend parents enable device-level backups and keep device security updated. The app itself does not transmit any files to external servers except the initial audio download from our content host.

7. Third-party services

We do not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs that collect personal data. If in the future we decide to use external services, we will update this policy and provide clear information and opt-in controls.

8. Parental controls & guidance

We encourage parents to supervise their children's use of the app. If you wish to remove downloaded audio files, you can delete them from the app settings or clear the app data. For additional parental control, use built-in platform parental controls on the Android device.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy occasionally. If we make material changes that affect children's privacy or permissions, we will post the updated policy on our website and update the date at the top of this page.
