Last updated: September 8, 2026 · Applies to Daily Quran 2.1.0
Daily Quran does not collect your data. There is no account to create, no analytics, no tracking, no cookies, no advertising, and no telemetry of any kind. Nothing you do in the extension is sent to me or to any server I control.
This policy explains that in full: what the extension stores on your own device, which outside services it contacts in order to show you an ayah or play a recitation, and what those services can see. It covers the Daily Quran browser extension for Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox, and the project page at kayes.dev/talks/daily-quran.
Nothing. Daily Quran has no backend, no database and no logging. I have no way to know who has installed it, which surah you listened to, which ayah you were shown, or that you used it at all.
Specifically, the extension does not:
So the extension can remember your preferences between sessions, it
saves a small amount of data using your browser's extension storage
(chrome.storage.local). This stays on your computer. It is
never uploaded, never synced to another device, and is not readable by
me or by any website.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Translation language (Bengali or English) | So the popup opens in the language you last chose |
| Favourite surahs | To pin the surahs you starred to the front of the list |
| Continuous playback on/off | To remember whether one surah should lead into the next |
| Volume level | So playback resumes at the volume you set |
| Last surah played and its position | To resume a recitation from where you paused it |
| A cached copy of the most recent ayah | So the popup shows something instantly instead of a blank screen while it fetches |
All of it is removed when you uninstall the extension. You can also clear it at any time from your browser's extension settings, or by removing and reinstalling Daily Quran.
Daily Quran does not host Quranic text or audio itself. It reads from public sources, and it only contacts them when it needs to:
| Service | Requested for | When |
|---|---|---|
Proggamoy Quran
(pro.proggamoyquran.com)
|
The ayah and its Bengali translation | When the popup opens or you load a new ayah |
AlQuran Cloud
(api.alquran.cloud)
|
The English translation (Saheeh International) | Only while English is selected |
Islamic Network
(cdn.islamic.network)
|
Surah recitations | Only when you start playback |
These requests carry only what any ordinary web request carries: your IP address, your browser's user-agent string, and the address of the ayah or audio file being requested. No identifier, account, device ID or history is attached, and the requests contain nothing that identifies you personally.
Browsers ask you to approve permissions at install time. Daily Quran requests as few as it can:
| Permission | Used for |
|---|---|
storage |
Saving the preferences listed in section 2 on your device |
offscreen (Chrome and Edge only) |
Playing audio while the popup is closed. Chrome extensions have no persistent page of their own, so an offscreen document holds the audio player. Firefox does this in its background page and does not need the permission. |
contextMenus |
Adding the "Daily Quran" entry to the right-click menu, so you can play, pause, restart or skip a surah without opening the popup. This adds a menu item; it does not read the page you right-clicked. |
Access to pro.proggamoyquran.com |
Fetching the ayah. This is the only site the extension is granted access to. |
Daily Quran requests no access to your tabs, your browsing history, your bookmarks, your downloads, or the content of the pages you visit, and it injects no code into any website.
The extension and the website are separate. The project page is part of my personal site, which uses PostHog for anonymous visitor analytics — page views and similar aggregate statistics, as most websites collect. That applies only to browsing the website in the normal way. It is not part of the extension, the extension contains no analytics code, and installing or using Daily Quran sends nothing to PostHog.
Daily Quran is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children. Since nothing is collected, nothing about a child is collected either.
You do not have to take any of this on trust. Daily Quran is free software under the GNU General Public License v3.0, and the complete source code is public at github.com/devkayes/daily-quran. Every network request the extension can make is declared in its manifest, which is part of that source and part of the package your browser installs. If you find something that contradicts this policy, please tell me — see SECURITY.md for how to report it privately.
If the extension ever contacts a new service or stores something new, this page is updated before that version is published, and the "last updated" date and version above change with it. Past versions are visible in the site's Git history.
