Nur Tab Privacy Policy
Nur Tab (“the Extension”) is a free browser new-tab extension published by Qurata. It is available on Firefox today, with support for more browsers planned. We do not operate servers or user accounts for the Extension.
What we collect
Nothing on our servers. We do not collect, store, transmit, or sell your personal data to ourselves because we have no backend infrastructure for Nur Tab.
What stays on your device
The Extension stores the following locally in your browser using the extension storage API:
- Location coordinates and city name (for prayer times)
- Prayer calculation method and ayat translation preference
- Background display preference and optional uploaded background image
- To-do items and website shortcuts
- Focus timer state
- Cached ayat, Hijri date, prayer times, and calendar month
- Saved/favorite ayat
- Prayer reminder and focus-notification preferences
Third-party services
When you use the Extension, your browser may contact these third-party services:
| Service | Purpose | Data sent |
|---|---|---|
| UmmahAPI | Ayat of the day, prayer times, today’s Hijri date | Ayah request; latitude/longitude for prayer times; your IP address |
| Open-Meteo | City search | Search query; your IP address |
| BigDataCloud | Reverse geocoding after using device location | Latitude/longitude; your IP address |
| Google Fonts | Typography (Inter, Amiri) | Standard font request; your IP address |
We do not control these third parties. Please review their respective privacy policies.
Location
Location is requested once (or when you update it in Settings) to show accurate prayer times. Coordinates are sent to UmmahAPI when fetching prayer times for supported calculation methods. Kemenag (Indonesia) is calculated on-device instead. We do not track your location continuously.
If UmmahAPI is unreachable, prayer times for non-Kemenag methods fall back to on-device calculation so the tab still works.
Permissions
Geolocation is accessed via the browser’s standard Geolocation API on the new-tab page (Chrome only; optional). Notifications are optional and can be turned off in Settings.
- storage — save your settings and data locally on your device
- alarms — schedule prayer reminders and focus-session completion
- notifications — optional desktop reminders before prayer and when a focus session ends
- geolocation — optional, only if you tap “Use my location”
Children
The Extension is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone.
Changes
We may update this policy. The canonical version is always this page on the Qurata website.
