Our Privacy Commitment
Nur Radio is built with privacy as a core principle. We believe your spiritual listening should remain private.
- No personal data collection - we don't track you
- No accounts required - use the app immediately
- No analytics or tracking - your listening habits are yours alone
- No ads - completely ad-free experience
- Your data stays with Apple - iCloud sync uses Apple's encrypted infrastructure
What Data We Collect
Short answer: We collect zero personal data.
Nur Radio does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. We have no servers that store user data, no analytics platforms, and no tracking mechanisms.
Data Stored Locally on Your Device
The following information is stored on your device:
- Favorite Stations: Your saved radio station preferences
- Custom Playlists: Playlists you create with your favorite reciters
- App Settings: Theme, volume, and other customizations
- Play History: Recently played stations (for quick access)
- Sleep Timer Settings: Your preferred timer durations
- Wake-Up Alarm: Your alarm time and repeat day preferences
This data is stored using iOS's built-in UserDefaults system.
iCloud Sync
To provide a seamless experience across your Apple devices, Nur Radio uses Apple's iCloud to sync:
- Your favorite stations
- Your custom playlists
- Your listening history
This sync is handled entirely by Apple's iCloud infrastructure (NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore). The data is encrypted by Apple and synced according to Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not have access to this data on any of our servers.
Apple Watch
If you use the Nur Radio Apple Watch companion app, your favorites and current playback state are shared between your iPhone and Apple Watch using Apple's WatchConnectivity framework. This data stays within your personal devices and is not transmitted to any external servers.
Network Connections
Nur Radio connects to the internet solely to stream radio content:
- Radio Streams: We connect to mp3quran.net to fetch the list of available radio stations and stream audio content
- HTTPS Only: All network connections use secure HTTPS encryption
Important: We do not transmit any personal data, device identifiers, or usage statistics to any server.
What We DON'T Collect
To be completely transparent, we do NOT collect:
- Personal identifiers (name, email, phone number)
- Device identifiers (UDID, IDFA, advertising ID)
- Location data
- Usage analytics or listening statistics
- Crash reports or diagnostics
- IP addresses
- Any data for advertising purposes
Third-Party Services
Nur Radio uses minimal third-party services:

Your Data Control
Delete Your Data
Since all data is stored locally on your device:
