Privacy Policy

Effective 29 September 2026

In short: Safar Salah works on your device. We don't have accounts, we don't sell data, and your location is not sent to us.

Who we are

Safar Salah is an in-flight and on-the-ground prayer times and Qibla app operated by Safar Salah, based in Texas, USA. Contact: safarsalahapp@gmail.com.

Location

When you tap Use my location, your browser asks for permission. If you allow it, your coordinates are used on your device to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction. We do not store your location on any server.

To show your city name, the app sends your coordinates to BigDataCloud's free reverse-geocoding service. BigDataCloud handles that request under its own privacy policy. If you type a city or coordinates yourself, no location is sent anywhere.

Compass and motion sensors

The Qibla compass reads your phone's compass heading on your device only. Nothing is sent or stored.

Flight details and settings

Airports, flight times, calculation method, madhhab and your last location are saved in your browser's local storage so they are there next time. They stay on your device. You can remove them by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.

Fonts

The app loads fonts from Google Fonts. Your browser connects to Google's servers to download them, which shares your IP address with Google under Google's privacy policy.

Advertising

Safar Salah does not show ads today. If ads are added later (for example Google AdSense or AdMob), the ad provider may use cookies or device identifiers to show and measure ads. We will update this policy before that happens and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent first.

Feedback and support

If you send feedback, your message, rating, topic and (only if you give it) your email address are delivered to our inbox through FormSubmit, an email-forwarding service. If you tick "Include my current flight or city and settings", the airports and times or city you entered, your calculation settings, the app version and your browser type are included so we can check the times. We use this only to reply and improve the app.

Donations are handled by Ko-fi and its payment partners under their own privacy policies. We receive your name and message only if you choose to share them there.

Purchases and orders

If you buy a personalized flight prayer plan (for example on Etsy), the platform processes your payment and shares your order and flight details with us so we can prepare your plan. We use those details only to fulfil your order.

Children

Safar Salah does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We will post any changes on this page with a new effective date.
