Scope and data controller
This policy applies to KSAPrayer.com, its Arabic and English pages, prayer-time tools and contact form. References to “KSA Prayer,” “we” or “the site” mean the team operating this website. The service does not require a visitor account to view prayer times. It does not ask for a date of birth, national identifier, precise device location or payment details as part of ordinary timetable use.
The site is hosted through a third-party hosting provider and runs WordPress. Like most websites, the server and security layers may process technical request information needed to deliver and protect pages. This policy describes the intended site behavior; infrastructure providers may also process limited data under their own terms when they supply hosting, network protection, email delivery or related services.
Information collected
Ordinary visits may create technical logs containing an IP address, request time, requested URL, browser or device information, referring page and response status. These logs help operate, secure and diagnose the service. The city search runs in the browser against a list already included in the page. It does not need to transmit every typed city name to create a personal search profile.
If you use the contact form, we collect the name, email address and message you choose to provide. A short-lived anti-abuse record derived from the network address may be used to limit repeated submissions. Do not include identification documents, payment information, confidential religious counseling details or other sensitive data that is not necessary for the correction or technical question.
Purposes, cookies and sharing
Data is used to deliver requested pages, maintain security, prevent spam, answer messages, investigate errors and improve reliability. The custom public interface does not require an advertising profile. Essential cookies may be set by WordPress, security or caching components when technically necessary, particularly for administrators. If optional analytics or advertising tools are introduced, this policy should be updated and any consent mechanism required by applicable law should be provided.
We do not intend to sell contact messages or technical logs. Information may be handled by service providers that support hosting, security or email, and may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, protect the service or respond to a valid legal process. Providers should receive only the information needed for their role and are not authorized by us to use a correction message as an unrelated marketing list.
Retention and security
Technical logs are retained according to operational and hosting needs, then rotated or deleted when no longer required. Contact messages may be kept long enough to answer the request, document a correction, prevent repeated abuse or resolve a dispute. A message that leads to a content change may be summarized internally without publishing the sender’s personal details. Retention can differ when law or a legitimate security need requires preservation.
Reasonable safeguards include HTTPS delivery, limited administrative access, WordPress updates, validation of form submissions, anti-spam controls and backups. No internet service can promise absolute security. Visitors should use the minimum personal information needed and avoid sending secrets through a general website form. If a material incident affects contact information, the team should assess notification obligations under applicable law.
Your choices and policy changes
You may browse prayer pages without submitting the contact form. You can ask about a message you sent, request correction of inaccurate contact details or request deletion where applicable and where no overriding retention need exists. A request may require enough information to identify the relevant message and verify that the requester is entitled to act on it. The contact page is the channel for privacy questions.
Browser controls can remove cookies and limit storage, although doing so may affect administrative or security features. This policy may change when the site adds a feature, provider or data practice. The effective and reviewed date is shown on the page. Material changes are written in clear language. Continued use after an update means the new policy applies to later visits, while earlier submissions are handled according to the commitments in force when made.
The service these policies describe
KSA Prayer is a focused bilingual utility for calculated prayer times in Saudi cities. Arabic pages are available from the root of the site and corresponding English pages are available under /en/. City pages show today’s timetable, the next calculated prayer, tomorrow’s main values and a full month. They also identify the city coordinates, time zone and calculation convention so a visitor can understand what produced the displayed result.
The service is independent. It is not a Saudi government website, a mosque, a university publication or an official calendar. The words “Umm al-Qura” describe the calculation settings; they do not state sponsorship or approval by Umm al-Qura University. The site is designed to support daily planning while making the difference between a calculated prayer-entry time and a mosque’s iqamah schedule explicit.
How to verify important information
For normal planning, compare the page heading, date, city and time zone before relying on a value. Refresh the page after traveling or returning to an older browser tab. When attendance at a particular congregation matters, verify the iqamah, Friday prayer, Ramadan program or Eid arrangement with that mosque. When an official authority publishes a timetable for a special event or holy place, that notice should be followed for its intended audience.
If two sources differ, record the city, date, prayer, displayed minute, calculation method and coordinates before reporting the issue. A difference can be caused by rounding, a safety offset, elevation, horizon conditions or another accepted convention. Evidence makes a correction request useful. It lets the team distinguish a software or data problem from an expected method difference and apply a change consistently across daily, monthly, Arabic, English and API output.
Related standards and updates
The About page explains the purpose and ownership stance of the publication. The Methodology page documents the calculation inputs and settings. The Editorial Policy explains review and corrections. The Privacy Policy covers data handling, while the Terms and Disclaimer explain permitted use and service limits. These pages are linked together and from the footer so a reader does not need to search for the rules that govern the service.
Policy text is reviewed when the site’s features, data practices or calculation logic materially change. A date is displayed on each trust page to show the current editorial review point. Dates are not changed merely to make a page look fresh. Where a policy update materially affects how visitors use the service or how contact data is handled, the new text applies from its stated effective date and earlier messages remain subject to the commitments made when they were submitted.
