Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 November 2026
Verse & Meaning (آية ومعنى) is a free Quran app for Android, iPhone and the web. It has no ads, no accounts and no analytics. We do not collect, sell or share personal data.
What stays on your device
Your reading progress, streaks, memorisation, reminders and settings are stored only on your phone, or in your browser's storage for the web app. If Android backup is on, a small file with your settings and progress is included in your own Google backup, which Google keeps under your account.
Microphone
Recite-along and voice search listen through the microphone only while you have them on. Speech is recognised on your device, in the app or in your browser. Audio is never saved or sent anywhere.
Physical activity and usage access (Android)
If you turn on the option to pause the unlock ayah while driving or outside the home screen, the app uses Android's activity recognition and usage access on your phone to decide when to show it. This information is not stored or sent anywhere.
Display over other apps, wallpaper and notifications
These are used only to show you an ayah on unlock, on the lock and home screens, and in reminders.
Reminders on the web
Browsers only show a notification from a closed site when a server sends it. If you turn on reminders in the web app, our reminder service keeps your browser's push address (a random link issued by the browser maker) and the times of your upcoming reminders. It does not know who you are or what you read; the words of each reminder are chosen in your own browser. The entry is deleted when you turn reminders off, when its times run out, or after 60 days without a visit.
Downloads
When you open or download a tafsir, translation or recitation, the app requests it over an encrypted connection from the content provider (Quran Foundation through our proxy, mp3quran, way2quran, quranicaudio, Itqan, islamic.network). Like any web request, these servers can see your IP address. We send them no personal information.
App updates
The phone app checks Expo's update service for small updates. That request carries a random install identifier that is not linked to you.
Children
The app is suitable for all ages and collects no data from anyone.
Deleting your data
Uninstalling the app, or clearing the site's data in your browser, removes everything. Turning off web reminders deletes your entry from the reminder service. Nothing else is held on our side.
