What Iqra knows about you

What stays on this device

Everything the app remembers about your learning is written into this browser’s own storage and read back from there. Unless you sign in, it never leaves the device:

• your streak, your longest streak, and the days you practised
• the minutes you have practised, and your daily goal
• which letters you have learned and when they come up for review
• where you left off listening, and the reciter you chose
• the name and the avatar you picked, if you picked any
• your language, your reading settings, and whether you have met Noor

Clearing this site’s data in your browser erases all of it, and Profile → About Iqra → Reset all progress does the same thing deliberately.

If you make an account

An account exists for one reason: to carry your progress to a second device. The app is complete without one, and nothing is kept behind signing in.

• We ask for an email address and send a sign-in link to it. There is no password to choose, and none is stored.
• That address, and a copy of the progress listed above, are held by Supabase — the service that runs sign-in and the database for Iqra. The copy is one row per kind of progress, and database rules make each row readable and writable only by the account it belongs to.
• Nothing else is asked for and nothing else is kept: no name, no age, no birthday, no location, no phone number, no contacts.

The counting Iqra does do

To know whether any of this is working, Iqra counts how its own screens get used — and it does that itself, on its own server, with no third party anywhere near it.

• What is counted: which screens are opened, which lessons are started and finished, which surahs and reciters are chosen, how many minutes are read, which settings are changed, and when something goes wrong. A fixed list, written down in the code.
• What is never counted: who you are. There is no account, no email, no name and no age in any of it — the table has no column for one — and nothing you type is ever sent. Not your name, not a search, not a word.
• Instead there are two random numbers: one for this browser, one for this visit. Neither is joined to an account, ever, and clearing this site’s data makes a new one.
• The raw counts are deleted after 90 days. What is left after that is totals — how many, not who.
• And it is one tap: Settings → Privacy → Anonymous usage statistics. Off means off — nothing is queued, nothing is sent, and the two random numbers are deleted.

What Iqra never does

• No third-party analytics and no third-party script on any page — Google Analytics, Plausible and the rest of them are not here. The one thing Iqra counts, it counts itself, and the section above says exactly what.
• No advertising, no advertising identifiers, and nothing about you sold or shared with anybody.
• No money. Iqra has no payment form, sees no card and holds no balance — the support page links to Pomozi.ba, and the giving happens on their side.
• No location, camera, microphone or contacts. The app never asks the browser for any of them.

Who your device talks to

• Iqra’s own server, for the pages and for the text. The Qur’an, the hadith and the duas are fetched by our server from the people who publish them and cached there, so those publishers see our server rather than you.
• The CDNs the recitations live on — the Islamic Network’s, and Quranic Audio’s — when you play one. Audio comes straight from them — it is far too large to pass through us — so a reciter’s voice means their server sees the request and the address it came from.
• Supabase, when you sign in and when signed-in progress is saved — and, unless you have switched it off, when the anonymous counts above are stored. It is the same database either way, and it is ours.
• Pomozi.ba, only if you tap one of the links on the support page. That link leaves Iqra, and their site is theirs.
• And nobody else. The fonts are served from Iqra’s own server rather than from Google, and no other third party is on any page.
• The company hosting the app keeps ordinary web-server logs — an address, a page, a time — for a short while, the way every web server does.

Cookies

Iqra sets no cookie to follow you with, because there is nothing it wants to know. Signing in sets what the sign-in service needs to keep you signed in on the next page, and that is the whole of it.

What you can do

• Read everything, learn everything and keep every streak without ever signing in.
• Erase the lot whenever you like: Profile → About Iqra → Reset all progress, or clear this site’s data in your browser.
• Signed in, that same reset clears the account’s copy as well.
• To have the account itself removed, with the email address in it, ask — see below.

Children

Iqra asks nobody’s age, because it collects nothing that would need one. A child can use the app exactly as it stands. If an account is made, the one personal thing in it is the email address, and it can be removed on request.

If this changes

The date at the top changes with it. Anything that meant keeping more than this page describes would be written here before it started, not after.
