Sukoon — Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 11, 2026

Sukoon plays the Quran over calm night sounds so you can fall asleep to it. It is built to be private: there is no account, no advertising and no tracking. This policy explains the little data the app handles, why, and the choices you have.

1. Who we are

Sukoon is developed and operated by Abdullah Al Hadi ("we", "us"). For the EU / UK / EEA General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), Abdullah Al Hadi is the data controller for personal data processed through the app. For any privacy question, write to mukashi.dev@gmail.com.

2. Data the app handles

Stays only on your device

Everything you make in Sukoon stays on your device. If you use iCloud Backup, Apple includes it in your encrypted backup; that is between you and Apple. None of it is sent to us.

• Your nights: the list you build, in your order — what is recited and how often, the reciter, the place, the sound levels, when the sound fades, and the names you give them.
• Settings: choices such as your usual reciter, your favourite reciters, how new nights sound, the wake time, and which notifications you turned on.
• A little history, kept for you: when your recent nights started, so Sukoon can suggest a bedtime reminder at the time you usually go to sleep, and when it last showed you Sukoon Pro, so it shows it at most once a day.
• Downloaded recitation: the audio files you choose to download, kept so a night plays without a connection. You can remove them in the app's Downloads settings.
• Your picture: if you use a picture of your own, you choose it with Apple's photo picker. Sukoon receives only that one picture, keeps a copy inside the app, and never sees the rest of your library.
• Your Lock Screen and Home Screen: while a night plays, its name and how far it has got can show on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and the Tonight widget shows the first night in your list on the Lock Screen, the Home Screen and in StandBy. They read the app's own storage on your device.
• Reminders and the alarm: the notifications you turn on, and the alarm you set, are scheduled on your device by iOS. Nothing about them is sent to us.

Leaves your device

• Recitation audio. When you play, preview or download a recitation, the app requests the audio files directly from the public archives that host them — everyayah.com and api.qurancdn.com (Quran.com). As with opening any web address, those services receive your device's IP address and the file requested. They are not operated by us, and we receive nothing from them. Their own policies apply to what they log.
• The list of reciters. Now and then the app asks hadicuet.github.io, a website served by GitHub, whether its list of reciters has changed. GitHub receives your device's IP address, as with any web request; the request carries nothing about you. GitHub's privacy policy applies to what it logs.
• Purchases. If you buy Sukoon Pro, as a subscription or as a one-time purchase, Apple handles the payment and tells the app only whether you have Pro. If you share a purchase through Family Sharing, Apple handles that too. We never see your name, your card or your Apple Account. Apple's privacy policy applies to the purchase.
• Email you send us. If you write to us, we receive your email address, what you write and anything you attach. Send feedback in the app adds the app's version, your device model and your iOS version to the email; you can see and change them before you send it.

Not collected

Sukoon has no account, no advertising, no analytics and no third-party trackers. It does not ask for your location, your contacts, your microphone or access to your photo library. It asks iOS for permission to notify you or to set an alarm only when you first use one of them. It does not know when Fajr is anywhere, because it never asks where you are — the wake time is a time you set yourself.

3. Why we handle it

The data above exists so the app can do what you asked: keep the nights you made, play the recitation you chose, remind you and wake you when you said. Under the GDPR the lawful basis is performance of a contract (giving you the app you installed); for a purchase, a legal obligation on Apple to record it; and for an email you send us, our legitimate interest in answering you.

4. Children

Sukoon is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. The app is usable by anyone and collects no personal data from any user.

5. How long it is kept

Everything the app stores stays on your device until you delete it or delete the app. We hold no copy. Deleting Sukoon removes your nights, your settings, your picture and every downloaded file. An email you send us is kept only as long as we need it to help you, and deleted when you ask.

6. Your rights

The only personal data we can hold about you is an email you sent us; ask and we will show it to you or delete it. Everything else you can see, change or remove in the app itself, and remove all of it by deleting the app. For a purchase, write to Apple. If you are in the EU / UK / EEA you have the right to complain to your data protection authority; in California, the CCPA/CPRA rights of access, deletion and non-discrimination apply, and we do not sell or share personal information.

7. Changes

If this policy changes, the effective date above changes with it and the new version is published at this address. If Sukoon ever sends news by push notification, this policy will say how before it starts.
