Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Qatar Prayer Times (“we”, “our”, or “the site”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our website and prayer times tool.

2. Information We Collect

We aim to keep our service simple and respectful of your privacy:

• Usage data: When you visit our site, we may collect basic technical information such as your browser type, device type, and general location (e.g. country or region) to improve the service and show relevant prayer times.
• No account required: You can use the prayer times tool without creating an account or providing personal details such as your name or email, unless you choose to contact us.
• Contact form: If you contact us via email or a contact form, we will use the information you provide only to respond to your enquiry.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Remember your city selection so you don’t have to choose it every time.
• Understand how the site is used (e.g. number of visits, popular pages) so we can improve it.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features, such as remembering your chosen city.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and improve the prayer times service.
• Respond to your enquiries when you contact us.
• Analyse site usage in an aggregated way to improve performance and content.
• Comply with applicable laws where required.

5. Third-Party Services

Our prayer times are calculated using data from third-party services (e.g. Aladhan). When you use our site, requests may be sent to these services to fetch prayer times for your selected city. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for how they handle data.

6. Data Retention

We do not retain personal data longer than necessary. Contact form submissions may be kept for a limited period to handle follow-ups, after which they are deleted. Aggregated, non-personal usage data may be retained for longer for analytical purposes.

7. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where we rely on it.

To exercise these rights or ask questions about this policy, please contact us.

9. Children

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised when changes are made. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
