9. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY (COPPA + GDPR-K)

This section has been prepared in accordance with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act — USA), GDPR-K Article 8 (EU General Data Protection Regulation), KVKK, and the Apple App Store / Google Play children's policies.

9.1. Age Restriction

The NUR application is NOT directed to the use of children under 13 years of age.

JurisdictionMinimum Age
Republic of Türkiye13
European Union (default, GDPR-K Art. 8)16
United States of America (COPPA)13
Other countriesAccording to the applicable local legislation

Users under 13 are prohibited from creating an account, and this is enforced by the system.

9.2. Age Declaration

Date or year of birth is not requested at registration. Compliance with the age threshold is established by self-declaration — the user must accept the Terms of Service to create an account, and those Terms state the minimum age (13) explicitly. This is the same approach taken by industry-standard services (e.g. Spotify, Apple Music).

If a user who does not meet the age requirement is later discovered (through their own statement, a parent's report, or a support request), the account is immediately suspended and the data is deleted in accordance with Section 9.3 and Section 7 (Data Retention).

9.3. Parental / Legal Guardian Rights

If, as a parent or legal guardian, you suspect that your child has created an account on NUR despite not meeting the age requirement:

  • E-mail: destek@huma.ist
  • Subject line: "Child Account Violation Report"
  • What you need to provide: the child's account e-mail address, type of relationship (parent/guardian), your contact information

Company obligations:

  • The report is verified within 48 hours
  • The account is deleted immediately, and all personal data belonging to the child is irreversibly destroyed via the accountDeletion Cloud Function
  • Only a pseudonymized log (3 years) is retained — for audit purposes

Parental rights (COPPA Sec. 312.5):

  • The right to review the data we have collected about the child
  • The right to request deletion of the data
  • The right to stop further data collection

9.4. Advertising and Data Collection from Children

NUR is designed for users aged 13 and over; the age threshold is enforced by self-declaration on Terms acceptance (see Section 9.2). The store age rating is 4+ on the App Store and "Everyone" on Google Play. To remain consistent with these ratings and to maximally protect children:

  • Ads are served only as Non-Personalized Ads (NPA) — every AdMob request includes nonPersonalizedAds: true.
  • No advertising identifier (IDFA, AAID) is collected; the iOS App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt is not shown.
  • No behavioural targeting, remarketing, or cross-app tracking is performed.
  • NUR is NOT published under "Made for Kids" / "Kids Category" — it contains measurement/advertising SDKs (AdMob, Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics) incompatible with those categories.
  • NUR is NOT enrolled in Google Families Self-Certified Ad SDK programs; ads are intended for the adult target audience.

9.5. Additional Measures for Child Safety

NUR has no text chat feature; in dhikr rooms only name/profile photo are visible (no personal contact information), and users below the age threshold cannot be invited.

9.6. Apple / Google Platform Policies

NUR is listed on the App Store with a 4+ rating and on Google Play as "Everyone". This rating:

  • Indicates that the content is suitable for all ages (no violence, no explicit content, etc.).
  • Does not conflict with the 13+ account-creation minimum: the rating measures content suitability while the account age represents the data-collection threshold (consistent with KVKK Art. 5 and COPPA §312).
  • Requires that ads are served NPA-only and that no advertising identifier is collected; Section 9.4 and Section 11.2 describe the framework in detail.

10. SECURITY

We apply industry-standard measures to protect your data:

  • End-to-end encrypted communication with TLS 1.2+
  • Role-based access control via Firestore security rules
  • Device integrity verification via App Attest / Play Integrity
  • Runtime application integrity checks via FreeRASP
  • Regular security audits and penetration tests

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage method can be guaranteed 100% secure; although we exercise the utmost care, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

11. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

This section complies with the ePrivacy Directive (EU), the Guidelines on Cookie Practices No. 2022/229 of the Personal Data Protection Board, and the Apple App Tracking Transparency requirements.

11.1. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that websites store on user devices. In mobile applications, local storage mechanisms (SharedPreferences — Android, NSUserDefaults — iOS) and SDK storage are used instead of cookies.

11.2. Technologies Used in the Mobile App

The NUR mobile application does not use traditional HTTP cookies. Instead, the following local storage mechanisms are used:

Strictly Necessary Local Storage:

KeyPurposeRetention Period
auth_tokenSession managementFor the duration of the session
consent_cacheExplicit consent status (offline)Until the account is deleted
download_settingsDownload preferencesUntil changed by the user
theme_preferenceLight/dark themeUntil changed by the user
language_preferenceApplication languageUntil changed by the user

Functional:

KeyPurposeRetention Period
offline_tracks_keyDownloaded content listUntil deleted by the user
prayer_notification_statePrayer notification preferencesUntil changed by the user
dhikr_counter_localOffline dhikr counterUntil synced with the server

Analytics (with Explicit Consent):

SDKDataRetention Period
Firebase AnalyticsEvent logs, session data14 months
Firebase CrashlyticsCrash stack traces90 days

Advertising (Non-Personalized Ads — NPA only):

NUR serves only Non-Personalized Ads (NPA). Every AdMob request is sent with nonPersonalizedAds: true. This means ads are not targeted by user behaviour/interests; they are selected only from contextual signals (app category, country, language).

SDK / Data TypeCollectedRetention
IDFA / AAID (advertising identifier)Not collected — no iOS ATT prompt shown
Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob)IP address (for approximate geolocation), device language/timezone, app version, ad impression/interaction counts14 months
Behavioural targeting / Remarketing / Cross-app trackingNot performed

Google's advertising partners: AdMob is Google's ad network. Ads served in NPA mode may come from Google's contracted third-party advertisers, but these parties cannot access user-identifying data. Details: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Additional information for EU / EEA users: For GDPR and ePrivacy compliance, when the app launches, a consent screen is shown via the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP). Even in NPA-only mode this consent is gathered in EEA countries; without consent, ad serving is suspended.

Seeing Fewer Ads in General:

You can opt out of Google's and other ad networks' tracking/profiling mechanisms via the links below. Since NUR does not show identity-based ads, these choices do not change NUR's ad behaviour but they do affect other apps.

11.3. Cookies Used on Our Websites

On our nurapp.web.app and huma.ist websites, only the following strictly necessary cookies are used:

Cookie NameProviderPurposeDuration
__sessionFirebase HostingHosting session informationSession
locale_prefnurapp.web.appLanguage preference1 year

No analytics or advertising cookies are currently used on our websites.

11.4. How Can You Manage Cookies?

Mobile App Local Storage:

  • Uninstalling the app clears all locally stored data
  • iOS Settings → NUR → Reset cache
  • Android Settings → Apps → NUR → Storage → Clear data

Ad Tracking for NUR:

Because NUR collects no advertising identifier (IDFA, AAID), no device-level ATT/tracking adjustment is required — the NPA-only mode described in Section 11.2 is active by default.

Resetting Advertising Identifiers in Other Apps (General):

  • iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising → "Personalized Ads" can be turned off
  • Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads → "Delete advertising ID" (Android 12+) or "Opt out of Ads Personalization"

Web Browser Cookies: can be managed via Chrome / Safari / Firefox settings.

12. CHANGES TO THE POLICY

This Policy may be updated from time to time. In case of material changes:

  • A re-consent modal is shown on app launch;
  • A notification is sent to your registered e-mail address (where appropriate);
  • The current version is published at https://nurapp.web.app/legal/privacy.
