Privacy & Security

This matters more than you might think.

Parsanegar is built for anyone studying Islamic and Persian texts — including critics, skeptics, apostates, and ex-Muslims like myself. In many parts of the world, simply questioning religious texts can have serious consequences. Your notes, your questions, your critical analysis — these are yours alone.

That's why Parsanegar uses end-to-end encryption for all your personal data. Not as a feature, but as a fundamental requirement:

How it works

1. When you create an account, you receive a 12-word recovery phrase (BIP-39)
2. This phrase generates your unique encryption key using PBKDF2-SHA256
3. All your content is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before leaving your device
4. The server only sees encrypted blobs — not your actual notes, documents, or tags
5. Only you can decrypt your data — not me, not any government, nobody

What's encrypted

✓ Document titles and content ✓ All text blocks and notes ✓ Verse tags and annotations ✓ Sticky notes ✓ Saved vocabulary ✓ Your Claude API key

What we DON'T collect

✓ IP addresses — never stored ✓ Analytics — no Google Analytics or similar ✓ Tracking cookies — none

Your keys, your responsibility

If you lose your 12-word recovery phrase, your data is gone forever. There's no "forgot password" button, no recovery email, no backdoor. This is intentional — it means nobody can be compelled to hand over your data, because nobody else has access to it.

Panic button

If you need to quickly exit and erase all traces:

Ctrl + Shift + X

This immediately clears all local data (localStorage, sessionStorage, caches) and redirects to Google. No confirmation, no delay.

Transparency

We're honest about what metadata is visible for the system to function:

• Number of documents and blocks (not their content)
• Block types (text, heading, verse, etc.)
• Timestamps
• Verse references in embedded verses

Data Sources

• Persian Poetry: Ganjoor — A treasure trove maintained by volunteers passionate about Persian literature
