Nur Tab Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Nur Tab (“the Extension”) is a free browser new-tab extension for Chrome and Firefox. We do not operate servers or user accounts.

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.

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 reminder preferences
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

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

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”

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.

Children

The Extension is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone.

Changes

We may update this policy. Changes will be reflected in the Extension repository and on this page.
