Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 9, 2026
Sukoon Tab (“we”, “the extension”) is a Chrome new tab extension. This policy describes what
information the extension uses, where it is stored, and which third-party services may be
contacted when you use Sukoon Tab.
Summary
- We do not operate user accounts or sell personal data.
- We do not run application servers that store your personal data.
- Most data stays on your device or in your Chrome sync profile.
- Location is used only when you enable prayer times or weather.
-
Sukoon Tab Plus purchases are handled by
Dodo Payments, our payment
and licensing provider.
Information we do not collect
Sukoon Tab does not:
- Require you to create an account with us
- Collect your name, email, or payment details directly
- Track browsing history outside the new tab page
- Send analytics or advertising data to the developer
- Store your location on developer-operated servers
Data stored on your device
The extension stores the following using Chrome extension storage:
-
Settings — theme, widget toggles, clock format, prayer calculation method,
display name, and similar preferences. These are saved in Chrome sync storage and may sync
across devices if you use Chrome Sync.
-
Daily content cache — today’s ayah, hadith, and dua, stored locally to
reduce repeat network requests.
-
Curated ayah catalog cache — a local copy of the ayah reference list used
for daily ayah rotation, refreshed periodically from a developer-hosted static file when
updates are available.
-
Saved favorites — ayahs, hadiths, and duas you save with Sukoon Tab Plus,
stored locally on your device. With favorites sync on (the default for Plus), a list of
references to them (type, id, save time; not the text) is also kept in Chrome sync storage so
it follows your Chrome profile.
-
Location coordinates — latitude, longitude and a city name, stored locally when
you allow location access or choose a city for prayer times or weather.
-
Shortcuts — links you add on the new tab page, stored locally.
-
Custom background image — if you choose your own background, a resized copy
is stored locally on this device only. It is never uploaded or synced.
-
Plus license data — if you activate Sukoon Tab Plus, your license key, its
activation ID, an activation label, and the time it was last checked are saved in
chrome.storage.sync. With Chrome Sync on, they follow your Chrome profile, so one
activation covers every computer where you use that profile. Whether Plus is on is worked out
on each computer and stored locally.
Geolocation
If you enable prayer times or weather, the extension may request your device location through
the browser’s geolocation API. This is used only to calculate prayer times and show approximate
local weather. The city name shown is looked up offline in a list bundled with the extension
(city data © GeoNames, CC BY
4.0); your coordinates are not sent to a geocoding service.
Instead of sharing your device location, you can search for your city in Settings. A chosen city
is saved on this device and is not refreshed in the background.
Coordinates are saved locally so the extension does not need to request location on every new
tab. While location access is allowed, they are refreshed in the background at most every 12
hours. You can deny location access; prayer times and weather will not work until location is
available, or until you update location again from Settings after granting permission.
We do not receive or store your location on our own servers.
Third-party services
When you use Sukoon Tab, the extension may contact these services:
-
Al Quran Cloud (alquran.cloud) — fetches Quran Arabic text and English translations for daily ayahs. Only ayah references
are sent, not personal information.
-
MET Norway (api.met.no) — fetches weather forecasts when the weather widget is enabled. Requests include
approximate coordinates (rounded to 4 decimals). Weather data from MET Norway is licensed
under CC BY 4.0.
-
Dodo Payments (dodopayments.com) — activates, validates, and deactivates Sukoon Tab Plus license keys when you choose to
use Plus. See the next section.
-
GitHub Pages (pages.github.com) — may fetch an updated curated ayah reference list (Quran surah/ayah references only, no
personal information). A bundled copy ships with the extension and is used if the remote file
is unavailable. If you remove Sukoon Tab, Chrome opens a short feedback page hosted there; its
address includes only the extension version.
Hadiths and duas are bundled inside the extension. The curated ayah list is also bundled, with
optional periodic updates from the developer-hosted file above.
Each third-party service has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review those policies
if you want more detail about how those providers handle data.
Payments and licensing (Sukoon Tab Plus)
Sukoon Tab Plus is optional. Purchases are processed by
Dodo Payments, which acts as the merchant of record. When you buy Plus, Dodo
Payments collects payment and customer information (such as email) according to its own privacy
policy. We do not receive your payment card details.
After purchase, Dodo Payments provides a license key by email. If you activate Plus in the extension:
-
The extension sends your license key and an
activation label (a random name, not linked to you) to Dodo Payments to
register the activation.
-
The extension periodically sends your license key and activation ID to Dodo Payments to
confirm the license is still valid.
-
If you remove the license from Settings, the extension asks Dodo Payments to deactivate the
activation, freeing its seat.
Checkout opens in a new browser tab on Dodo Payments’ website when you choose to upgrade. The
extension does not embed payment forms inside the new tab page. The checkout address includes
the extension’s ID and which button you used (Settings or Saved), so that after paying you return
to our purchase page. That page shows your key and can pass it to the extension when you click
Activate in Sukoon Tab. The key goes from the page straight to the extension in
your browser; nothing is sent to us.
