At Salatify (accessible from https://salatify.com), one of our highest priorities is the privacy of our visitors and users. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by Salatify and how we use, process, and safeguard it in full accordance with international data privacy standards, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
1. Information We Collect and Process
When you interact with the Salatify web portal, mobile tools, and Islamic calculation utilities, we may process specific categories of data necessary to provide accurate Islamic prayer and astrological services:
- Geographical & Location Coordinates: To deliver pinpoint prayer calculations (Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha), solar arc calculations, and accurate Qibla compass bearings, our service uses your device’s latitude, longitude, and timezone. Note: Geolocation coordinates are used strictly on-the-fly or saved client-side in a temporary cookie on your own browser (e.g.
salatify_user_loc) to remember your chosen city. We do not maintain or sell continuous user GPS tracking databases. - Log Files & Technical Telemetry: Like almost all standard websites, Salatify utilizes log files. These records include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and approximate clicks. These are not linked to any personally identifiable information and are analyzed purely for site administration, bot detection, and server security.
- Voluntary Correspondence: If you contact us directly via our Contact form or email (
[email protected]), we receive your name, email address, message contents, and any attachments you choose to provide.
2. Cookies and Local Browser Storage
Salatify uses standard browser cookies and local storage to store user preferences. These preferences include:
- Your selected city, country, latitude, and longitude for instant prayer schedule loading without repetitive prompts.
- Your chosen juristic calculation methodology (e.g., Hanafi vs. Shafi’i/Standard Asr method).
- Your preferred UI theme (Light Mode or Dark Mode) and Adhan audio volume preference.
- Your digital Tasbeeh counter tally count so your Dhikr sessions persist across page refreshes.
