Masjid Timetable

Privacy

Last updated 28 October 2026. ITjustworks runs Masjid Timetable. This page says what the app and this site do with information, in the order somebody would actually ask.

The app asks you for nothing

There is no account, no sign-in and no profile. You are not identified to us and we cannot tell one phone from another.

What stays on your phone

Your chosen masjid, a second one if you set it, the pins you add yourself, how you like times and dates written, which reminders you want, where the Qibla is measured from, and the timetables and notices for those two masjids. All of it is stored on the device and in its backups. None of it is sent to us, and deleting the app deletes all of it.

Reminders are worked out and scheduled on the phone, from the timetable it already holds. Nothing about them reaches us, including whether you have any.

If you use the app on an Apple Watch, your iPhone gives the Watch what it needs to show your times: the names and areas of your two masjids, their times for the next sixty days, how you like times written and what the countdown counts. While you have accepted prayer times for where you are, it gives the Watch that place's name and its times instead, never its position. Your iPhone sends all of this straight to your paired Watch over Apple's own connection between the two. The Watch keeps it for the app and your watch faces, and none of it reaches us. Removing the app from the Watch removes it.

Location

The app asks the phone for your position only while you are using it, never in the background, and only for these things. If you tap Find Masjids Near Me, it asks once and uses the answer to sort the list. If you choose Where I Am on the Qibla screen, it asks each time that screen opens and uses the answer to work out the direction of the Qibla from where you are standing. The map in the Masjids tab can open on where you are and show you on it. When you open the app, it may check your location to notice that you have travelled, so it can offer prayer times for where you are.

Your position is used on the phone and is never sent to us. If you accept prayer times for where you are, the app keeps that place on the phone, rounded to about a kilometre, until you are home. If you say no, it keeps the place you said no for, rounded the same way, so that it does not ask again until you are home. Nothing else about where you are is stored. The Qibla screen remembers that you chose Where I Am, not where you were. The app is fully usable without ever granting location.

Apple Maps

The map in the Masjids tab is drawn by Apple Maps. To draw it, your phone asks Apple for the map of the area on screen, as any app with an Apple map does, under Apple's own privacy policy. Your location is not sent to us. When you search, your phone also sends Apple what you typed and the area being searched. To place each masjid exactly, your phone also asks Apple Maps which masjids are in the area on screen.

The map on Android

On Android, the map in the Masjids tab is drawn from OpenStreetMap's data by OpenFreeMap. To draw it, your phone asks OpenFreeMap for the map of the area on screen. Your location is not sent to us. When you search, your phone also sends what you typed and the area being searched to its own address search, which on most Android phones is Google's.

What our server sees

The app asks this server which masjids exist, and for the timetables and notices of the masjids you chose. Like any server, ours receives the request: the masjid being asked about, and the network address it came from. We use that to serve the request and to keep the service working. We do not build a profile from it, we do not combine it with anything else, and there is no identifier in it that belongs to you.

What we do not do

No advertising. No analytics. No tracking of individuals. No third party software that collects anything about you. The Android app draws its map with MapLibre, open source software that sends nothing about you. Nothing is sold or shared with anybody for their own purposes.

If you write to us

The contact form keeps your name, your email address, the subject you picked and your message, so that somebody can answer you. That is the only reason it is kept, and it is not used for anything else.

To keep automated spam out, the form is checked by Cloudflare Turnstile. Cloudflare already runs this website. On the contact page only, Turnstile looks at your browser and your connection to tell a person from a program, and tells us whether it passed. We do not send it your name, your email address or your message.

If you administer a masjid

Registering gives us your name, your email address, your role, optionally your phone number, and the masjid's details. We keep them so we can answer you, so you can sign in, and as the record of who asked for access to which masjid.

Signing in is a link emailed to that address; there is no password. Every change you publish is recorded with who made it and when, because a prayer time that changed is something a masjid has to be able to account for.

Two other companies handle parts of this. Emails are sent through Resend, which therefore handles the address and the message. Turning a UK postcode into a position sends that postcode, and nothing else, to postcodes.io. Neither is given your name. No other map or address service is asked where a masjid is: outside the UK, its position comes from our own list of masjids or from the masjid itself. Use This Device's Location asks your browser for the device's location once, only when you press it, and only to fill in the form. It is kept as the masjid's position only if you send the form.

How long

A masjid's published times stay while the masjid is listed. A registration request stays as the record of a decision we made. Audit entries stay so a change remains accountable. Ask us to remove any of it and we will, except where keeping it is what makes an earlier decision explicable.

Asking

Write to us for a copy of what we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
