In this policy, “ConnectMazjid,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refers to the ConnectMazjid entity responsible for the collection, use, and handling of personal data as described in this document. At ConnectMazjid, we prioritize your privacy and security while delivering high-quality services. We’re committed to protecting your personal information and ensuring it is handled responsibly. Our practices align with applicable privacy laws to provide you with a safe and seamless experience.
1. Privacy Policy
Our privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal and sensitive data. This applies to all users of the ConnectMazjid app.
- Data Collection: We collect personal data, such as your email address and location (if you enable it), to enhance your app experience (e.g., location-based prayer times or nearby mosque searches).
- Purpose of Data Use: We use your data for app functionality and service improvements. Your data is not used for advertising unless explicitly stated.
- Data Sharing: We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties except as required by law or to provide essential app functionalities.
- Secure Handling: All data is transmitted securely using encryption technologies (e.g., HTTPS). We implement strict security measures to prevent unauthorized access.
- Data Retention: We retain your data only for as long as necessary to provide services or comply with legal obligations. Users can request data deletion at any time.
2. Prominent Disclosure and Consent
We believe in complete transparency when it comes to how your data is collected, accessed, and used.
How We Obtain Consent:
- In-App Disclosure: We clearly explain what data is being collected and why before accessing any sensitive information.
-
User Action Required: You must actively grant permissions or consent before we collect data. For instance:
- Example Disclosure: “ConnectMazjid collects location data to provide accurate prayer times and nearby mosque suggestions, even when the app is not in use.”
- Easy Opt-Out: Users can modify permissions or withdraw consent anytime through the app settings or device permissions.
3. Account Management
If you create an account with ConnectMazjid, you have full control over its management and deletion.
Account Deletion:
- You can delete your account directly from the app or through our website.
- Once deleted, all associated data will be permanently removed, unless required for legal or fraud prevention purposes.
- Temporary account deactivation is not the same as account deletion.
4. Third-Party SDKs and Services
We use third-party services only when necessary, ensuring they comply with strict data privacy guidelines. We do not work with providers that sell or misuse user data.
- Firebase Crashlytics: To monitor and improve app stability, Firebase Crashlytics collects non-personal data related to app performance and crashes. This data is used solely for improving app functionality without compromising user privacy.
- Stripe Payment Processing (for masjid donations):
- Data Collection: To support the collection of donations for masjids, we use the Stripe platform. Stripe collects and processes all necessary payment information. ConnectMazjid does not collect or store any personal payment details.
- Service Fee: A small service fee is applied to each transaction to cover processing and maintenance costs.
- Refunds and Disputes: Any issues related to refunds or payment disputes must be resolved directly with Stripe. Please refer to Stripe’s policies for more details.
Third-party services process data solely for the purposes of app functionality and masjid donation, like crash reporting and payment processing (Firebase Crashlytics and Stripe), and no personal data is shared for marketing or any other unauthorized purposes. This data is handled securely and in compliance with privacy laws.
5. Data Safety Section
We provide clear details about the types of data we collect and how it is used:
- Types of data collected (e.g., personal identifiers, location).
- Purpose of data use (e.g., app functionality, user analytics).
- Data sharing practices (if applicable).
6. Secure Data Handling
We take robust measures to protect your information or data:
- Encryption: All data is encrypted during transmission and when stored.
- Permissions Management: Permissions are only requested when absolutely necessary for key app features.
- Restricted Access: Only authorized personnel have access to sensitive information.
7. Intellectual Property Rights
The ConnectMazjid app and all related intellectual property belong to ConnectMazjid and its licensors.
Usage Restrictions:
- The app is licensed for personal use only.
- Users are not allowed to reverse engineer, copy, or redistribute the app.
8. Updates to the Privacy Policy
As privacy laws and technologies evolve, so may our Privacy Policy. We’ll notify you of significant updates through in-app notifications or email.
