Privacy Policy

1. INTRODUCTION

At MyLocalMasjid, we are a privacy-first organisation. We believe that your personal information should only be collected when absolutely necessary, and only for clear, respectful purposes. We do not collect unnecessary data, we do not track your activity, and we will never share or sell your information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle any information you provide when using our services:

• MyLocalMasjid Website (for viewing prayer times)
• Masjid Admin Portal (for masjids to manage their own data)
• MyLocalMasjid App (for users to find masjids and prayer times)

By using our Services, you agree to the terms outlined below.

2. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Website

We do not collect any personal information through our website.

Masjid Admin Portal

We collect the following information when a masjid administrator creates an account:

• Name
• Email address

This information is used solely for account creation, support, and administrative purposes.

MyLocalMasjid App

• The app requests access to your device's location in order to show nearby masjids and prayer times.
• Location data is sent to our API to find nearby masjids. This data is used in real-time for this purpose only and is never stored or logged on our servers.
• Anonymous analytics: We collect anonymized usage data to understand masjid involvement and improve the app experience. This data is completely anonymous, cannot be linked to any individual user, and you can opt-out at any time in the app settings.

3. HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

We use the limited information we collect to:

• Enable masjid administrators to manage and update their own data.
• Provide users with accurate, localised prayer time information.
• Analyze anonymous usage patterns to understand masjid involvement and improve the app experience.

We do not use your data for advertising, commercial profiling, or any tracking that can identify individual users.

4. DO WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION?

5. DO WE USE COOKIES OR TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

6. HOW IS YOUR DATA PROTECTED?

We take data protection seriously. Any data we store (admin name and email only) is handled with standard security measures to prevent unauthorised access.

Data Quality & Accuracy

We are committed to providing the highest quality masjid data possible. We achieve this through:

• Direct masjid partnerships: We work directly with masjid administrators to ensure accurate and up-to-date information.
• Automated data gathering: We use automated processes to collect masjid information directly from users and masjids to ensure comprehensive coverage.
• Verification processes: All masjid data goes through our quality assurance processes to ensure accuracy.
• Community feedback: We encourage users to report any inaccuracies so we can maintain the best possible data quality.

Legal Protections

We operate without warrant protections and are committed to transparency. In the unlikely event of legal requests for data:

• We collect minimal data, so there is very little information that could be requested.
• Any anonymous analytics data cannot be linked to individual users.
• We do not store location data, so user location information is not available.

7. YOUR RIGHTS

If you are a registered masjid admin, you have the right to:

• Access the data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your personal information

To exercise your rights, please contact us at: privacy@mylocalmasjid.com
