1. Introduction & Scope

MasjidConnect ("we," "us," or "our"), founded by H M Jubair Alam under the Islamic Digital Initiative, is committed to safeguarding the digital privacy of every worshipper, mosque committee member, and community visitor who accesses our web application (http://masjid-connect.truxio.bond) or utilizes our 1080p/4K TV Kiosk digital signage display mode.

This Privacy Policy outlines how MasjidConnect operates, why we intentionally minimize data processing, how browser client-side storage is utilized, how mosque committee passcodes are safeguarded, and how ethical third-party advertising networks (such as HalalSpark and compliant ad platforms) operate on our platform.

2. What Information We DO NOT Collect

Unlike many modern consumer mobile applications, MasjidConnect is deliberately designed with a privacy-first, client-side architecture:

• No User Accounts Required: Worshippers do not need to register, create accounts, or link social media profiles to view prayer timetables, countdown timers, or Janazah notices.
• No Phone Number or Contact Harvesting: We do not ask for or collect your phone number, contact address book, or personal messaging history.
• No Continuous GPS Tracking: We do not track your real-time physical coordinates in the background. Mosque selection is conducted manually by the user from our curated directory.

3. Browser Local Storage (HTML5 localStorage) Usage

MasjidConnect relies on standard browser HTML5 LocalStorage to provide immediate offline accessibility, fast loading, and state persistence between browsing sessions. Local storage data is saved exclusively inside your local browser sandbox and is never automatically uploaded to external advertising servers or third-party databases.

Specifically, the following key-value pairs are maintained on your local device:

You have complete control over this data. You may inspect, modify, or erase all local storage items at any time through your browser's Developer Tools (Application > Storage > Local Storage) or by clearing your browser cache.

4. Administrative Passcode & Committee Security

MasjidConnect features an integrated Mosque Committee Admin Portal permitting authorized personnel to update seasonal Iqamah times, Friday Khutbah speakers, and emergency notices directly from any device.

• Client-Side Verification: Passcode verification occurs entirely in the client-side JavaScript execution environment. Administrative passcodes are never transmitted over unencrypted channels.
• Committee Confidentiality: Mosque administrators are strongly advised to keep their local committee passcode secure and to restrict administrative access to trusted volunteers and staff.
• No Central Vulnerability: Because local schedule customizations reside within the browser's local sandbox, there is no centralized database holding passwords vulnerable to bulk credential exposure.

5. Third-Party Advertising & Ad Networks (HalalSpark / Google AdSense)

To ensure MasjidConnect remains 100% free for all mosques worldwide without charging subscription or onboarding fees, we partner with reputable, privacy-conscious digital advertising networks, including HalalSpark and compliant ad platforms.

Use of Cookies and Web Beacons

Third-party ad vendors and ad networks may use standard HTTP cookies, device identifiers, or web beacons to serve advertisements based on a user's prior visits to this website or other sites on the internet.

• Strict Halal & Ethical Filter: We strictly mandate that our advertising partners exclude advertisements featuring gambling, alcohol, dating services, usurious loans (Riba), pork products, or sexually suggestive imagery. Only wholesome, family-friendly, and Halal-certified brands are eligible to be displayed.
• No Ads in Sacred Kiosk Mode: Fullscreen TV Kiosk Display Mode is 100% advertising-free to preserve the sacred, distraction-free environment of prayer halls and mosque lobbies.
• User Opt-Out Mechanisms: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting:
  • Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com
  • Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out: https://optout.networkadvertising.org
  • Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) WebChoices Tool: https://optout.aboutads.info

6. Server Log Files & Technical Metrics

Like virtually all web hosts, our hosting servers automatically record basic, non-personally identifiable technical diagnostic logs when pages are requested. These logs may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (anonymized/truncated where required by law)
• Browser type, language, and operating system
• Referring and exit pages with timestamps
• HTTP status codes and data payload transfer volumes

These logs are utilized strictly for preventing Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, detecting broken server links, optimizing asset delivery, and maintaining infrastructure uptime.

7. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

MasjidConnect does not knowingly collect, request, or solicit any personal information from children under the age of 13. Our content consists exclusively of Islamic educational guides, prayer timetables, and community announcements suitable for individuals of all ages. If a parent or guardian discovers that a child has provided personally identifiable information to us, please notify us immediately at siddiknurealam1@gmail.com so we can promptly delete such data from our systems.

8. Global Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as the European Economic Area under the GDPR, or the State of California under the CCPA/CPRA), you possess specific legal rights concerning your personal data:

• Right to Know & Access: You have the right to request disclosure of any personal data we hold regarding you. (Because we do not store personal profiles on our servers, such data is typically limited to direct email correspondence).
• Right to Rectification & Deletion: You have the right to request correction or immediate deletion of any correspondence data.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against any user for exercising their statutory privacy rights.
• Do Not Sell My Personal Information: MasjidConnect does not sell, rent, or trade user personal information to any third party under any circumstances.

9. Data Security Practices

We employ industry-standard Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) with TLS 1.3 encryption across all website endpoints. This ensures all communication between your browser and our web servers is securely encrypted, preventing interception or man-in-the-middle tampering of prayer timetables or announcements.

10. Updates to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect enhancements to our platform, changes in regulatory requirements, or updates to our ad-network partnerships. Any revisions will be published on this page with an updated "Last Updated" timestamp at the top. We encourage visitors to review this policy periodically.
