We may collect:

  • Technical details: IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, date/time of access
  • Anonymous website usage statistics (e.g., page views, time on site)
  • Your location (only if allowed by you in browser) — to show local prayer times

🔧 3. Third-Party Services

We integrate with limited third-party services to enhance your experience:

🕒 Aladhan API

We use this API to fetch ISNA-based (Google-style) prayer times. It may use your IP or geolocation to calculate timings — but we do not store or log this.

🌍 Google Analytics (optional)

If enabled, this helps us understand general traffic patterns. All collected data is anonymized. You can opt out anytime via browser settings or Google Opt-Out Add-on.
