Our Commitment to Privacy
whatismynamaztime.com is built on a simple principle: your data stays on your device. We do not operate any backend servers, databases, or user accounts. No personal information is collected or stored by us.
Location Data
If you allow location access, your GPS coordinates are used in your browser to calculate accurate prayer times using the adhan.js library.
- GPS coordinates are processed locally in your browser for prayer time calculation
- If GPS is allowed, your coordinates may be sent to Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) to display your city name — this is a standard reverse geocoding lookup
- If GPS is denied, your approximate city may be estimated via your IP address through ipapi.co
- Your last manually selected city name and coordinates are saved in your browser's local storage so the app remembers your preference on return visits — this data never leaves your device
- We do not operate servers that store your location data
- Location access can be denied — you can search for your city manually
Browser Local Storage
We use your browser's local storage (not cookies) to save:
- Your last selected city name and coordinates (key:
chs-city)
- Your daily prayer completion status (key:
pt-YYYY-M-D, resets daily)
This data is stored entirely on your device and is never transmitted to any server. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or site data.
Data We Do Not Collect
- No user accounts or registration
- No personal information of any kind
- No prayer time history or usage tracking by us
