Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 25, 2026

Overview

NoorFilter ("we", "our", or "us") is deeply committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our application uses your device's permissions. NoorFilter is designed to help users maintain focus and avoid distracting short-form content (like YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels, and Instagram Reels) by replacing them with positive, mindful reminders such as Hadiths or motivational quotes. It also provides a Safe Internet feature to filter out malicious or inappropriate domains.

Crucial Disclosure: Use of Accessibility Service API

NoorFilter strictly requires the use of the Accessibility Service API to function. Below is a detailed disclosure of how and why we use this API:

  • Why we need it: The Accessibility Service is used solely to detect when you are interacting with short-form video content interfaces (e.g., YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels, Instagram Reels) so that the app can intervene and display a focus reminder overlay.
  • What it does: It scans the active window's view hierarchy and package names locally on your device to identify specific video player components.
  • Data Collection & Privacy: We DO NOT collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data, screen content, or text typed by the user. All accessibility event processing happens completely locally on your device and is discarded immediately after analysis. Your privacy is 100% guaranteed.

Crucial Disclosure: Use of VpnService API

NoorFilter uses the Android VpnService API to provide the Safe Internet filtering feature. Below is a detailed disclosure of how and why we use this API:

  • Why we need it: The VpnService is used to create a local DNS sinkhole that blocks access to known adult, gambling, malware, phishing, and tracking domains across your device.
  • What it does: It intercepts DNS requests locally to check if the requested domain matches our filter lists. If a match is found, the connection is blocked.
  • Data Collection & Privacy: The VPN operates entirely locally on your device. We do not route your internet traffic through external remote servers, nor do we monitor, log, or collect your browsing history or data.

Data Collection and Usage

NoorFilter operates with maximum privacy in mind. We do not collect personal information, usage analytics, or device identifiers. Any settings or preferences you configure in the app (such as blocklists, timer settings, or overlay preferences) are stored locally in the app's secure database on your device. The app periodically connects to our server solely to download the latest motivational quotes and Hadiths for the blocking overlay, but this process does not transmit any of your personal data.

Third-Party Services

The app does not integrate with any third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs. It works locally to ensure an uninterrupted and privacy-first experience.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
