Plain language, no legal boilerplate padding

Privacy Policy

This page explains, in plain terms, what actually happens when you use Surah Yaseen. The short version: there is no account system, nothing you type or click is sent to a server for storage, and the only data collection on this site is basic, cookie-free traffic statistics.

No accounts, no sign-up, no personal profile

There is no login, registration, or account system anywhere on this site. Reading the surah, jumping to a specific verse, or printing a page doesn't require identifying yourself in any way, because no system exists here to tie your visit to an identity.

What this site does store locally, on your device

A small amount of information is saved in your browser's own local storage (not a cookie, and not sent to any server automatically) so the site behaves sensibly on your next visit:

Theme preference: whether you last chose light or dark mode, so the site doesn't reset to the default every time you return.
Feedback vote flag: a marker recording that you already voted 👍 or 👎 on a particular page, so you aren't shown the same prompt repeatedly. It records only which page and which vote, never anything that identifies you.

The optional feedback button

If you choose to click the 👍 or 👎 feedback button on a page, your browser sends a small anonymous message containing exactly two pieces of information: which page you rated, and which way you voted. No cookie, IP address, or device fingerprint is attached to that message by this site's own code, and it is used purely as an aggregate counter ("how many people found this page helpful"), never to build a profile of you individually. As with any request to any website, the underlying network connection necessarily passes through our hosting provider's infrastructure (Cloudflare), which, like virtually every website host, keeps standard connection-level logs (such as IP address and timestamp) for operating and securing the service; that's a property of how the internet and this site's hosting work, not something this site's own application code additionally collects or stores.

Analytics: cookie-free, aggregated, no individual tracking

This site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics for basic traffic statistics: for example, how many people visit, which pages are popular, and how fast pages load. Cloudflare Web Analytics is specifically designed to work without cookies and without any persistent client-side identifier, and it does not track you across other websites. It reports aggregated numbers (like total page views), not individual visitor histories. No banner asking you to "accept cookies" appears on this site, because no tracking cookie is set that would require one.

Fonts and other assets: self-hosted, no third-party requests

The typeface used for the site's interface (Inter) is hosted on this site's own servers rather than loaded live from Google Fonts or any other third-party font service. That means simply viewing a page here doesn't trigger a separate request to a font company that could, on some sites, be used to build a browsing profile.

Where the Quran text comes from

The Arabic text, transliteration and translation shown on this site are retrieved from the open alquran.cloud API at build time and published as static content. Reading the surah on this site does not send any request to alquran.cloud from your browser; the text is already part of the page you're loading.

Advertising

To be direct about where this site stands today: no third-party advertising is currently served on this site. If that changes in the future, this page will be updated to describe exactly what's added and what data, if any, the ad provider collects, before it goes live.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age, largely because it doesn't collect personal information from anyone at all, given there's no account system or upload feature to begin with.

Your choices and control

Because everything this site stores about your visit lives in your own browser's local storage rather than on a server, you're always in full control of it: clearing your browser's site data for this domain (through your browser's own settings) removes the theme preference and feedback-vote flag immediately and completely. There's no account to delete and no server-side profile to request removal of, because none exists.

Changes to this policy

If what this site collects or how it works changes (for example, if advertising is added), this page will be updated to describe the change plainly, in the same style as the rest of this page, rather than buried in dense legal language.

Frequently asked questions

Does this site use tracking cookies?

No. The only analytics used (Cloudflare Web Analytics) is specifically designed to work without cookies or persistent identifiers.

Do I need to accept a cookie banner?

No cookie banner appears, because no cookie requiring consent is set.

Is my feedback vote linked to my identity?

No. The feedback beacon contains only which page and which vote (up or down), with no identifying information attached by this site's code.

Does reading the surah on this site send data to a third party?

No. The Quran text is fetched once from the alquran.cloud API when the site is built, then published as static content; your browser doesn't contact alquran.cloud when you read a page here.

How can I remove the data this site has stored about me?

Clear your browser's site data for this domain through your browser's own privacy settings. That removes everything this site has stored (a theme preference and a feedback-vote flag), since it's all kept locally on your device rather than on a server.
