Nothing is ever sent to our servers, and we do not collect your personal information. Some of our apps, like Zahra and Ramzi, keep all of your data only on your own device, with no account or sign-in. Others, like Asrar, keep it on your own company’s server: see Asrar below.
This Privacy Policy applies to Zahra and to all other applications published by Nour Emran Tech, unless a specific app states otherwise within its own listing.
Privacy is one of the core principles behind our applications. It is one of the main reasons we chose to build them ourselves. We grew tired of data leaks, intrusive advertisements, mandatory subscriptions, and unnecessary sign-in requirements. We wanted to create applications that give people back their privacy and freedom without compromising on quality.
Zahra stores your data locally on your own device. Nothing is sent to our servers, and we do not collect your personal data. You are free to back up your data using any service or provider of your choice. We do not store your information, nor do we collect your location.
You can use our products with confidence, in shā'Allāh. We consider your trust an amānah (a sacred responsibility), and we are committed to protecting it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed of any changes.
Asrar
Asrar is a chat app for companies. Unlike Zahra, it has to send your messages somewhere so your colleagues can receive them: it connects to the chat server your account is on. That is usually your company’s own server, or a public XMPP server you signed up on yourself. That server stores your account, contacts and messages.
Nour Emran Tech does not run any chat servers, and Asrar never sends your messages, contacts or usage data to us. The app has no advertising, no analytics and no crash reporting. Questions about how your company’s server keeps and protects data should go to your company’s administrator.
One-to-one chats and private groups are end-to-end encrypted with OMEMO, so not even the server can read them. Public and announcement channels cannot be end-to-end encrypted and are readable by the server. If you share or view a location, the map is loaded from OpenStreetMap.
Asrar never checks for updates by itself. Only when you tap “Check for updates” in Settings › About Asrar does it download a small file from nouremran.com that names the newest version. Like any website visit, our hosting provider sees your IP address. The request contains nothing about you, your account or your chats.
Ramzi
Ramzi encrypts and decrypts messages and files on your phone. It has no internet permission, so it cannot send anything anywhere: not to us and not to anyone else. There is no account, no advertising, no analytics and no crash reporting.
Your keys, contacts and settings stay on your device, sealed with your phone’s secure hardware, and are left out of cloud backups. Ramzi only shares what you choose to share yourself, such as an encrypted message you paste into a chat app or your public key. The links under Settings › About open in your phone’s browser or email app.
