Privacy Policy — Noor Plus: Islamic Prayer Reminder

Last updated: June 9, 2026

---

Overview

Noor Plus is a Chrome browser extension that provides Islamic prayer times, Adhan audio reminders, Quran recitations, and a Dhikr counter. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data the extension collects, how it is used, and what leaves your device.

Data We Collect

Location Data (Latitude & Longitude)

What: Your geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), and an approximate city/region name derived from those coordinates.

Why: Prayer times vary by location. The extension uses your coordinates to calculate accurate daily prayer times using the adhan.js library — all calculations happen locally on your device.

How it is obtained: Only when you click "Auto-detect Location" in the extension settings. The extension requests your location via the browser's built-in Geolocation API (the same permission prompt shown by websites). You can also enter coordinates manually without granting location access.

Where it is stored: Locally on your device only, using chrome.storage.local. Your coordinates are never transmitted to our servers — we do not operate any servers.

How to delete it: Open the extension settings, switch to manual coordinates, and overwrite the saved values. Or uninstall the extension, which clears all stored data.

Third-Party Services

The extension uses one external service that receives personal data:

Nominatim (OpenStreetMap)

• Purpose: Converts your coordinates to a readable city/region name (e.g. "Cairo, Egypt")
• Data sent: Your latitude and longitude — only once, only when you use the "Auto-detect Location" feature
• Privacy policy: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy

Data We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect your name, email address, or any account information.
• We do not track your browsing activity or history.
• We do not use analytics or advertising SDKs.
• We do not share any data with third parties beyond Nominatim, as described above.
• We do not store any data on external servers — there is no Noor Plus backend.
