Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 2026
At PrayerTimesUSA.org, your privacy is our priority. We are committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about what data we collect.
1. Location Data
Our website offers a "Use My Location" feature to automatically detect your closest city and calculate Qibla direction. We do not store, track, or save your exact GPS coordinates or IP address. All location calculations (including IP Geolocation and browser GPS) are performed instantly in your browser (client-side) or anonymously passed to our IP provider. No location history is kept on our servers.
2. Analytics
We use standard analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to understand website traffic, which pages are most popular, and how we can improve our service. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
3. Advertising Cookies
We plan to display advertisements on PrayerTimesUSA.org through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies, including the DoubleClick advertising cookie, to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites across the internet. These cookies allow Google and its partners to show you interest-based advertising.
You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings. To learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising, see policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
4. Third-Party APIs
We utilize the Aladhan API (api.aladhan.com) to fetch mathematical prayer time data based on your selected city's public coordinates. No personal data is sent to this API.
