Introduction
Azkar is an Islamic Chrome Extension intended to make daily worship more accessible through morning and evening Adhkar, Quran audio, prayer reminders, and related Islamic features.
We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the information Azkar may handle, why it may be handled, and the choices available to you. If the extension’s features change, this policy may be updated accordingly.
Information Collection
Azkar is designed to collect only the information needed to provide its features. Depending on the features you use, this may include preferences such as selected reminders, display settings, or playback choices.
Azkar is not intended to collect names, contact details, browsing history, page contents, passwords, payment information, or the text of your personal communications. We do not present this as a guarantee about future versions; review the current extension listing and permissions for the most accurate information.
Information Usage
Information handled by Azkar may be used to display Adhkar, remember your preferences, play requested Quran audio, schedule reminders, and maintain the extension’s core functionality.
It is not intended to be used for advertising profiles, selling personal information, or unrelated tracking.
Local Data Storage
Preferences and reminder settings may be stored locally in your browser or extension storage so the extension can remember them between sessions. Local storage remains subject to your browser’s settings and profile management.
Clearing extension data, resetting the browser profile, or uninstalling the extension may remove locally stored settings.
Location Information and Prayer Times
Azkar stores your selected location coordinates or manually entered city and country locally so it can provide prayer-time calculations and related location functionality. Saved locations may be reused for background prayer-time updates.
When coordinates are used, Azkar sends those coordinates to the AlAdhan API to retrieve prayer times. The coordinates are also sent to Nominatim for city lookup.
When you enter a city and country manually, Azkar sends that information together with your device’s timezone to the AlAdhan API to calculate prayer times. This means location information is transmitted to these external services when you use the corresponding prayer-time or city-lookup functionality.
In the newer 1.2.1 source package and subsequent versions using its automatic fallback, Nominatim may also convert a manually selected city into coordinates. If AlAdhan is unavailable, eSalah receives the selected coordinates, date, calculation method and Asr school to return fallback times. Choosing AlAdhan only disables that fallback. These newer-package details do not imply that the older public store release already includes them.
Browser Permissions
Azkar may request browser permissions that are necessary for features such as displaying the extension interface, scheduling reminders, or loading requested audio. Permissions are intended to be used only for their stated purpose.
The exact permissions are not listed here because they must be verified against the current Chrome Web Store listing. Chrome shows requested permissions during installation, and you can manage or revoke available permissions through Chrome settings.
Notifications and Reminders
If you enable reminders, Azkar may use browser notification capabilities to show an alert at your selected time. Reminder settings are intended to remain on your device unless a feature explicitly requires otherwise.
You can disable notifications in Chrome’s site or extension notification settings and may also disable reminders within the extension, where that control is available.
Quran Audio and External Services
When you request Quran audio, Azkar connects to an external audio host or service. These audio requests can disclose technical information such as your IP address to the relevant provider as part of normal internet communication.
These external services are not operated by Azkar. Their handling, logging, and retention of connection information are governed by their own policies and are not guaranteed by this policy.
Third-Party Audio Services
Azkar may use the following external providers for Quran audio or radio streaming:
When you play audio from these providers, your browser establishes a connection with the relevant provider. As part of normal internet communication, these providers may receive connection metadata, including your IP address.
The included live.mp3quran.net station currently uses an HTTP stream. Do not assume that every external audio connection is encrypted.
Third-Party Services Summary
| Service | Purpose | Information Sent |
|---|---|---|
| AlAdhan API | Prayer-time calculations | Coordinates OR manually entered city/country and device timezone |
| Nominatim | City/location lookup | Selected coordinates |
| eSalah (newer package fallback) | Fallback prayer-time calculations when enabled | Selected coordinates, date, calculation method and Asr school |
| Audio providers | Quran audio and radio streaming | Normal connection metadata, including IP address |
Data Retention
Locally stored preferences may remain until you change them, clear extension data, reset your browser profile, or uninstall Azkar. Azkar is not intended to retain personal information on a remote server, but this should be confirmed against the final implementation and any connected services.
Data Deletion
You can generally delete local extension data by removing Azkar or clearing its stored data through Chrome settings. You can also turn off reminders and clear saved preferences from the extension when those controls are provided.
If you believe a connected service has received information and you need it deleted, contact that service directly and contact us using the details below so we can help identify the appropriate request path.
Security
Reasonable care should be taken to limit information handling and protect the extension’s operation. However, no software, browser, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Keep Chrome updated and install Azkar only from a trusted source.
Children’s Privacy
Azkar is not directed at collecting personal information from children. Because it is a browser extension, parents and guardians should supervise browser use and review Chrome permissions when appropriate.
Third-Party Services
Azkar may rely on third-party infrastructure for content or audio delivery. Third-party services may process technical request data under their own terms and privacy policies. Their identities and current practices should be confirmed from the current release and Chrome Web Store listing.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy when Azkar’s features, permissions, or connected services change. The “Last updated” date above indicates when this page was most recently revised. Continued use after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
Contact Information
For privacy questions or requests related to Azkar, contact Fetian through fetianans.dev@gmail.com or the contact page. Please include “Azkar Privacy” in the subject line.
Questions about this policy are welcome. We aim to keep it understandable, current, and aligned with the extension’s published behavior.
