For the OpenFurqan app on Android (com.openfurqan.app). Last updated 29 October 2026.
OpenFurqan does not collect, store, or share your personal data. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind. Everything you create in the app stays on your phone.
Your bookmarks, notes, voice recordings, reading progress, practice progress, and settings are saved only on your phone. We have no server that receives them and no way to see them. Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage, removes them from the app; the backup file in Download/OpenFurqan (see Backups and sharing) is separate and stays until you delete it.
The app asks for microphone access only when you choose to record a voice note or a recitation. Recordings are saved on your phone and are never uploaded. You can refuse or withdraw this permission at any time in your phone's settings; everything else in the app keeps working.
The Quran text, the main translations, and most study material are built into the app. Some content, such as recitation audio and tafsirs, is downloaded the first time you use it and kept on your phone for offline use. These downloads carry no account or personal details.
The app never sends your data anywhere by itself. On Android 10 and later it keeps an up-to-date backup file on your phone, in Download/OpenFurqan, so your data survives reinstalling the app. It stays on your phone, where other apps you allow to read your files could see it, and you can delete it at any time.
When you choose to send a copy of your data, you decide where it goes. When you share an ayah as text or an image, it goes only to the app you pick.
The app is excluded from Google's cloud backup. When you move to a new phone with Android's phone-to-phone transfer, your app data can be copied directly to the new phone.
Three rows in Settings open another app, and only when you tap them: Rate OpenFurqan opens the app's page on Google Play, Privacy policy opens this page in your browser, and Contact opens your email app with a new message to us, which you write and send yourself.
While a recitation plays, the app shows a playback control in your notifications and on the lock screen. If you turn on Ayah of the day in Settings, it also sends one quiet notification a day, at the time you choose. It sends no other notifications.
OpenFurqan collects no personal data from anyone, including children.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
