Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Mawaqit collects no personal data, requires no account, and sends nothing to our servers. Everything stays on your device.

What we collect

Mawaqit collects no personally identifiable information of any kind. The only data involved is:

Approximate location — your IP address is used once to determine your city and coordinates, solely to fetch local prayer times and weather. This is stored locally on your device using the browser's built-in storage. It is never sent to Mawaqit servers.

Third-party services we call

To provide prayer times and weather, Mawaqit makes read-only requests to the following external APIs. No personal data beyond approximate coordinates is sent, and no user identifiers are attached.

aladhan.com — Islamic prayer times and Hijri calendar date
open-meteo.com — current weather conditions (keyless, no account)
ipapi.co — IP-based city and coordinates on first load
nominatim.openstreetmap.org — reverse geocoding (GPS to city name, only if you grant browser location)
geocoding-api.open-meteo.com — city search when you manually change location
fonts.googleapis.com — web fonts (Cinzel, Playfair Display, Inter, Amiri)
images.unsplash.com — nature background photography

Local storage

Mawaqit stores the following data locally on your device only — it never leaves your browser:

Your prayer calculation method preference
Your location (city, latitude, longitude) — refreshed every 6 hours
Cached prayer times for today
Your task list and daily intention (niyyah)
Overlay brightness preference

You can clear this at any time by clearing your browser's extension storage or site data.

Permissions (Chrome Extension)

storage — to save your preferences and task list locally
notifications — to alert you when a Pomodoro focus session ends

The extension does not request access to your browsing history, tabs, bookmarks, or any other browser data.

Analytics & tracking

None. Mawaqit contains no analytics SDK, no tracking pixels, no ad network, and no telemetry of any kind.

Data sharing

We do not sell, share, rent, or transmit any user data to any third party for any purpose whatsoever.

Children

Mawaqit does not collect data from anyone, including children. There is no age restriction on use.

Changes to this policy

If we ever make changes that affect what data is collected, we will update the date at the top of this page and update the extension listing description accordingly.
