Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 12, 2026

simplequran.net is a free tool for reading and listening to the Quran. This page explains what information is collected when you use the site and how it's handled.

Information We Don't Collect

We don't require an account, and we don't ask you for your name, email address, or any other personal details to use the site. There are no user profiles stored on our servers.

Local Storage on Your Device

Bookmarks and reading preferences (such as your chosen highlight color) are saved directly in your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device — it is never transmitted to or stored on our servers, and clearing your browser data will remove it permanently.

Location Data (Qibla & Prayer Times)

If you use the Qibla compass or the "Use My Location" option for prayer times, your browser will ask permission to share your device's location. This location is used only in the moment to calculate a direction or prayer schedule and is not stored or sent anywhere beyond the request made to the prayer-times API described below. You can decline this permission and instead search for prayer times by city and country.

Third-Party Services

To provide Quran text, translations, audio recitations, and prayer times, the site makes requests to the following third-party APIs on your behalf:

These services may log standard technical information such as your IP address as part of normal web request handling. We don't control their data practices directly; please refer to their own policies for details.

Donations

The optional donation button on the site is powered by a widget from Donorbox (donorbox.org). If you choose to donate, that transaction is handled entirely on Donorbox's platform under their own privacy and payment terms — we don't receive or store your payment details.

Cookies & Analytics

We don't use tracking cookies or third-party analytics or advertising scripts on this site.

Children's Privacy

The site doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, since no account or personal data submission is required to use it.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in how the site works. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
