What we collect

Our prayer times, Hijri converter, Tahajjud tool and quizzes run entirely in your browser. The dates and locations you enter are not sent to us or stored on our servers. We may store small preferences, such as 12- or 24-hour time format, in your browser’s local storage.

Email newsletter

If you subscribe to our weekly quiz email, we collect only your email address. Your subscription is handled by our email provider, Kit (kit.com), which stores your address and sends our emails on our behalf. We first send you one email to confirm the subscription. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to delete your address at any time by emailing [email protected]. We never sell or share your email address.

Tasbih leaderboard

Our tasbih counters keep your count, streak and all-time total in your browser only. If you choose to join the tasbih leaderboard, we store your email address, the nickname you pick and your daily dhikr counts in our database at Cloudflare. The same account puts your Daily Quiz score on the quiz leaderboard; for that we keep which daily questions you got right, and, if you play without joining, a random id kept in your browser instead of your name. Only your nickname and counts are shown publicly; your email is never shown, sold or shared. Your browser keeps a sign-in key so new counts can be added to your score. To remove your entry, email [email protected].

Analytics and hosting

Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes standard technical data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the site, and Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits without cookies.

We also use Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful (for example, pages viewed, country and device type). Google Analytics uses cookies and processes data as described in Google’s privacy policy. Visitors in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland are asked for consent first through Google’s consent message, and analytics and advertising cookies are not used unless you agree. You can change your choice at any time with the “Privacy and cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page. You can opt out everywhere with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

Advertising

We may show ads served by Google and its partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.
