3. The Data We Collect About You
We do not sell your data. We only collect the minimum amount of information necessary to provide you with a high-quality listening experience.
You can use the App without creating an account (Guest Mode). However, unlocking additional features requires registration.
3a. If You Use the App Without Logging In (Guest Mode)
We do not collect any personally identifiable information (such as your name or email). We may process:
Technical Data: Your device type, operating system version, and unique device identifier to ensure the audio player functions correctly.
Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the App (e.g. audio tracks played, duration of listening) to help us optimise app performance. This data is aggregated and anonymous.
3b. If You Create an Account / Log In
To unlock additional features, you will be asked to create an account. We may collect:
Identity Data: First name, last name, or a username.
Contact Data: Your email address.
Profile Data: Your preferences, saved or bookmarked audio tracks, listening history, and features unlocked.
⚠️ Special Category Data (Religious Beliefs)
Because the App features exclusive recordings of the Qur'an, using this App may imply or reveal your religious beliefs. Under the UK GDPR, this is classified as Special Category Data. By creating an account and using this App, you provide your explicit consent for us to process this data solely to provide you with the App's religious and spiritual content and features.
4. How We Use Your Personal Data
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we use your data in the following circumstances:
To deliver the exclusive audio content and manage your account features.
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (e.g., improving app performance, fixing bugs).
Where you have given us explicit consent (such as processing account data linked to religious content).
🚫 Advertising & Third-Party Tracking
No Commercial Ads: There are no third-party advertisements or Google Ads embedded in this App.
We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
5. How Your Data is Shared
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share data with trusted third parties necessary to operate the App, including:
Cloud & Infrastructure Providers: Secure servers (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure) to host the exclusive audio files and store account profiles securely.
Analytics Providers: Minimal, privacy-focused analytics tools to monitor app crashes and performance metrics.
All third-party service providers are legally required to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with UK law.
6. Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed in an unauthorised way. Account information is encrypted, and access to your data is strictly limited to individuals who have a business need to know.
7. Data Retention
Guest Users: Technical and usage data is kept in an anonymous, aggregated form indefinitely to monitor app performance.
Registered Users: We will retain your personal data only for as long as you maintain your account. If you choose to delete your account, your personal data will be permanently deleted from our databases within 30 days.
8. Your Legal Rights (UK GDPR)
Under the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Request access to your personal data.
Request correction of inaccurate data.
Request erasure of your personal data (the "right to be forgotten").
Object to processing or request restriction of processing.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your data.
How to exercise your rights: You can delete your profile directly within the App settings, or you can contact us at salaam@qurater-app.com to request data deletion or access.
You also have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us first.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy within the App or via an in-app notification.
