1. What We Collect
Location data
We collect your location when you allow it. We ask for this so we show accurate prayer times for your city. You can deny location access. If you deny it, you can type your city instead. We never track your movements. We only need enough information to identify your general area for prayer times.
Device information

Some cookies support simple analytics. Cookies do not give us access to your private files. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features might stop working.
2. Why We Collect It
- We collect your location so we show accurate prayer times. Prayer schedules depend on your city. Without location data, we cannot calculate times with precision.
- We collect device information so the site works well for you. We need to know if something breaks on certain devices. This helps us fix issues and keep the site stable.
- We collect usage data to understand what people find helpful. This helps us improve the layout, add useful tools, and remove unnecessary steps.
- We use cookies to remember your choices. They help keep your settings in place so you do not repeat the same actions each time you visit. Cookies also support basic analytics that show which pages get the most activity.
We do not collect information that does not relate to prayer times or site performance. We do not create user profiles. We do not run targeted ads. We do not sell any data.
3. How We Protect Your Data
We store your data on secure servers. We restrict access to the data required for site functions. Basic safeguards protect against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access.
We review our systems often. We test for weaknesses and adjust when needed. No system is perfect, but we take clear steps to reduce risk.
We do not keep location data longer than necessary. When you leave the site, we do not store your exact coordinates. Your browser may remember your consent settings, but we do not keep long term records of your location.
4. Third Party Services
We sometimes use third party services to support the site. These services help with analytics and maps.
Analytics
We use a privacy friendly analytics service to understand traffic patterns. This service collects anonymous data. We use it to see general trends. It does not show personal identity.
Maps and location tools
We may use a maps API to determine coordinates for your city. This helps the prayer time calculator work correctly. The maps service receives only the information needed to match your city with a location.
Third party services may set their own cookies. These services follow their own privacy rules. We choose services that respect user privacy as much as possible.
