Summary
- Ayah Player does not require an account.
- Ayah Player does not include third-party advertising SDKs.
- Ayah Player does not sell personal information or track you across apps and websites.
- Your library, notes, learning progress, downloads, and private practice recordings remain on your device.
- Information is sent to our reporting service only when you deliberately submit a problem report.
Information stored on your device
Ayah Player stores app information locally so its features work. This may include saved reciters and recitations, playlists, saved ayahs, private notes, folder descriptions, recent playback, playback position, downloads, selected translations, reading settings, display language, theme, repeat settings, self-assessed learning progress, and private practice recordings.
This information is not uploaded to Ayah Apps or Nowari servers by the current app. Removing app data or uninstalling the app may permanently remove locally stored information and recordings.
Microphone and private recordings
If you choose to record your own recitation in Practice Mode, Ayah Player requests microphone access. Recordings are stored in the app's private local storage for your own listen-back. The current app does not upload, transcribe, analyze, grade, or share these recordings.
Audio, text, images, and downloads
Ayah Player connects to external providers when it streams or downloads Qur'an recitation audio, translation data, fonts, or other credited content. Providers may receive ordinary network-request information, including your IP address, user agent, and the requested resource. Ayah Player does not control provider server logs or privacy practices.
Optional problem reports
If you deliberately submit a problem report, the app sends the report over HTTPS. A report may contain your message, report type, platform, app version, selected locale, and relevant reciter, surah, audio source, audio URL, current value, or suggested value.
The reporting service stores the report, a one-way hash derived from network information for spam prevention, and the user agent. It does not store the raw IP address or attach an advertising identifier. Reports are used to investigate and document app, catalog, timing, artwork, translation, or playback issues.
Permissions
- Internet: streams and downloads app content and submits reports you choose to send.
- Media playback and foreground service: keeps recitation playback available in the background.
- Notifications: provides media controls where supported.
- Microphone: records your private local practice only when you start recording.
Analytics and advertising
The current app does not include advertising SDKs or third-party behavioral analytics SDKs. It does not use your information for advertising or cross-app tracking.
Children
Ayah Player is suitable for general audiences but is not directed specifically at children. Because no account is currently required and private recordings remain local, Ayah Player does not knowingly collect personal account information from children.
Retention and deletion
Local app data remains until you remove it through the app or device controls. Submitted reports are retained while needed to investigate and document the issue. You may request deletion of a submitted report by contacting support with enough detail to identify it.
Future accounts
Ayah Account is not currently active in Ayah Player. Before account synchronization or cloud storage launches, this policy will be updated to describe the information involved, the purpose, retention, deletion, security, and user controls. Private recitation recordings will remain local unless a future feature asks for separate, explicit permission.
Security
Ayah Player minimizes collection and uses encrypted HTTPS for network services it controls. No storage or transmission method is completely secure, but unnecessary personal information is intentionally avoided.
Changes
Updates to this policy will be published at this permanent URL. Material changes affecting app data will also be reflected in the app or store listing as appropriate.
