Data Deletion Policy & Instructions
1. Overview of Data Storage in Noor
Noor: Quran & Prayer Times operates with an offline-first architecture. Noor does not maintain user accounts, passwords, personal cloud profiles, or centralized developer database servers.
All user-generated information — including your Quran reading progress, saved bookmarks, personal notes, tasbeeh counters, prayer logs, and custom preferences — is stored strictly and exclusively on your physical Android device.
2. How to Delete Your Data
You can permanently delete all local data using any of the three simple methods below:
METHOD 1 Direct In-App Clear Data (Recommended)
Noor provides an instant, built-in data deletion tool right inside the app settings:
- Open the Noor application on your Android phone.
- Navigate to the More tab (bottom navigation bar) and tap Settings.
- Scroll down to the Your data section.
- Tap Clear all data.
- A confirmation dialog will appear warning you that this will permanently delete your bookmarks, prayer logs, and history. Confirm by tapping Clear everything.
Result: All local storage keys (AsyncStorage) are immediately wiped clean and the app returns to its fresh first-install state.
METHOD 2 Clear Storage via Android Settings
You can also clear all app data using standard Android operating system settings:
- Open the Settings app on your Android device.
- Tap Apps (or Apps & Notifications).
- Select Noor from your list of installed apps.
- Tap Storage & Cache.
- Tap Clear Storage (or Clear Data) and confirm.
Result: All local databases, preferences, downloaded audio files, and cache are permanently erased from the device.
METHOD 3 Uninstalling the Application
Uninstalling Noor from your device automatically prompts the Android operating system to delete the application's entire private sandbox directory, including all local databases, settings, and downloaded recitation files.
3. What Happens to Downloaded Recitation Audio?
When you download Quran recitations for offline listening, the audio files are saved in your device's private app cache directory. Executing Method 2 (Clear Storage) or Method 3 (Uninstallation) completely purges these audio files from your device storage.
4. Third-Party Advertising Data
Non-personalized or personalized advertisements are delivered via Google AdMob. If you wish to reset or delete your Google Advertising ID on your Android phone:
- Open Android Settings.
- Go to Google > Ads (or Privacy > Ads).
- Tap Reset advertising ID or Delete advertising ID.
