01
Who We Are
Dhikr24 (operating at dhikr24.com) is a Quran reading accountability
application. We are an independent developer and are not affiliated with any
institution or organisation. Questions may be directed to
dhikr24@gmail.com.
02
Data We Collect
We collect only what is necessary to provide the accountability features of Dhikr24.
- Account data — email address and display name, provided when you sign up.
- Reading activity — which paras you have marked complete, cycle participation, and streak history.
- Group data — groups you create or join, your role (member or admin), and assignment history.
- Location data (optional) — coarse GPS coordinates used only to find masjid reading circles near you and to calculate the Qibla direction. Location is requested only when you use the Masjid Finder or Qibla features and is never stored on our servers.
- Quran.com account (optional) — if you choose to connect your Quran Foundation account, we store an access token in your device's secure storage. We use it to sync your reading activity to your Quran.com profile. You may disconnect at any time from Account Settings.
- Device identifiers — anonymous push notification tokens if you enable reminders. No device identifiers are linked to your identity in our database.
We do not collect payment information, contacts, browsing history,
or any data unrelated to Quran reading.
03
How We Use Your Data
- To authenticate you and maintain your account.
- To track your reading progress and display it to you and your group members.
- To assign paras within reading circles and display group activity.
- To send reminders you have configured (optional; can be disabled at any time).
- To sync reading sessions to your Quran.com profile (only if you have connected your account).
- To improve the app by reviewing aggregate, anonymised usage patterns.
We do not use your data for advertising, sell it to third parties,
or use it to build profiles for any purpose beyond the features described above.
04
Third-Party Services
Dhikr24 uses the following services to operate:
-
Cloud database provider — your account data, reading history,
and group data are stored securely on a third-party cloud database service.
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
-
Quran Foundation / Quran.com — Quran text and audio content
is provided by the Quran Foundation. If you choose to connect your Quran.com
account, your reading sessions are shared with them under your account.
Quran Foundation's privacy policy:
quran.com/privacy.
-
Formspree (formspree.io) — processes interest form submissions
on dhikr24.com. Submissions are stored by Formspree and forwarded to our email.
Formspree's privacy policy:
formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.
No other third parties receive your personal data.
05
Data Retention & Account Deletion
Your data is retained for as long as your account remains active.
If you delete your account via Account Settings → Delete Account,
your profile, reading history, and group memberships are permanently deleted from
our database. Residual copies in backup snapshots are overwritten within 30 days.
Location data is never stored — it is used on-device in real time and discarded.
Quran Foundation access tokens are stored in your device's secure storage and are
cleared when you disconnect or delete your account.
06
Your Rights
Regardless of where you are located, you have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Correction — update your display name or email via Account Settings.
- Deletion — delete your account and all associated data at any time.
- Portability — request an export of your reading history in a standard format.
- Opt-out — disable reminders, disconnect Quran.com, or revoke location access at any time through your device or app settings.
To exercise any right, contact us at
dhikr24@gmail.com.
We will respond within 14 days.
07
Security
All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Our backend enforces access controls so that
each user can only access their own data — no user can read another user's private
data except through explicitly defined group-sharing rules. Any tokens stored
locally on your device are kept in encrypted secure storage, not plain storage.
No security measure is perfect. If you discover a vulnerability, please report it
to dhikr24@gmail.com.
08
Children
Dhikr24 is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal
data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with data,
contact us and we will delete it promptly.
09
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as Dhikr24 evolves. Material changes will be
communicated via in-app notification or email before they take effect.
The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
Continuing to use Dhikr24 after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
