Noorium
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 4 August 2026
This page explains what information Noorium collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. Noorium is an Islamic companion app (Quran, prayer times, Hadith, Duas, an AI learning assistant, and related features) available across multiple schools of Islamic thought.
1. Information We Collect
- Account identifier. Every user gets an anonymous account identifier automatically on first launch, so your data can sync without requiring sign-up. If you choose to create a real account, we also store the email address you provide.
- Content you create in the app, including: bookmarked verses/duas, personal notes, tasbih (dhikr counter) session counts, daily prayer-completion history, your messages and Noorium AI's replies in the AI Chat, and — if you use Noorium Family — the linking codes and prayer-completion summaries shared between a parent and child account by mutual consent.
- Your chosen fiqh path (school of thought) and app language/theme preferences.
We do not collect precise location beyond what's needed to calculate accurate prayer times and Qibla direction, we do not collect contact lists, and there is no in-app payment system, so we do not collect payment information.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide the app's core features — syncing your bookmarks, notes, prayer history, and AI chat history across sessions and devices.
- AI Chat: when you send a message to Noorium AI, that message (and a short window of recent conversation history) is sent, via our own server, to Anthropic's Claude API solely to generate a reply. Anthropic does not receive your email, account identifier, or any other app data — only the message text needed to answer your question.
- Noorium Family: a parent only sees a child's weekly prayer-completion summary once the child has separately approved that specific parent's linking code. No other personal data is shared between linked accounts.
- We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising — Noorium currently shows no ads and uses no advertising-identifier tracking.
3. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored using Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore and Firebase Authentication). Access to your personal data in our database is restricted by security rules so that only your own signed-in account can read or write it.
4. Children's Privacy
Noorium Family is designed for a parent and child to mutually link accounts to share prayer-completion progress. We do not knowingly collect more information from a child's account than is needed for this feature, and a link only becomes active once both sides have separately approved it.
5. Third-Party Services
- Google Firebase — authentication and data storage.
- Anthropic (Claude API) — generates Noorium AI's chat replies.
- Public Islamic content sources (Quran text/translations, Hadith collections, Tafsir, prayer-time calculation, Azan audio) — these are read-only content lookups; no personal or account data is sent to them.
6. Your Choices
- You can use most of Noorium anonymously (guest mode) without ever providing an email.
- You can export a copy of your data at any time from Profile → Export My Data.
- To request deletion of your account and associated data, contact us using the details below.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as Noorium's features change. Material changes will be reflected in the app's "What's New" section.

Religious Content & AI Disclaimer
Noorium presents educational content — including AI Chat responses — across multiple schools of Islamic thought (Ja'fari, Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali) with attributed sources, and aims to present each fairly rather than favor one over another.
Noorium AI is an educational tool, not a personal religious authority. It does not issue personal religious rulings (fatwas). For a ruling on your specific situation, please consult a qualified scholar of your own school of thought.
