Privacy policy

Last updated: 27 October 2026

1. Who we are

Muslmaan (“we”, “us”) is run by Salmaan Mahamoud, a sole trader based in England, United Kingdom, trading as Muslmaan. We are the controller of the personal data described in this policy.

Contact: muslmaanapp@gmail.com

2. What we process and why

Your location

If you allow it, the app uses your phone’s location to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction. This calculation happens on your phone. We do not receive or store your location. You can choose a city instead, and you can turn off location access at any time in your phone’s settings.

Settings and app data

Your calculation method, any time adjustments, prayer alerts, chosen city, bookmarks, tasbih count and display preferences are stored on your phone so the app works the way you set it up. We do not receive this information. Deleting the app deletes it.

Prayer tracker

If you use the prayer tracker, the prayers you tick and any days you mark as excused from prayer (for example during your period) are stored only on your phone. They are never sent to us or anyone else. You can untick a prayer or unpause a day at any time, and Settings → Erase everything removes it all.

Prayer alerts

Adhan, reminder and suhoor alerts are scheduled on your phone. We do not use a server to send prayer alerts.

Home-screen widget

If you add the widget, the app saves your city name and the next few days of prayer times where the widget can read them, on your phone only. To keep your alerts and the widget up to date, your phone may let the app run briefly in the background. Nothing is sent to us when it does.

New videos in Media

To show the latest shorts, the app checks the public YouTube feeds of the creators we have chosen, directly from your phone. As with any internet request, YouTube (Google) receives your IP address when it does. What you watch is used to recommend videos only on your phone and is never sent to us. The app does not use a server of ours. If that changes, we will update this policy first.

Visiting this website

This website does not use cookies, analytics or advertising. Like any website, the company that hosts it receives your IP address and basic browser details when you visit, and may keep them in short-term logs to keep the site secure.

Embedded videos

Videos in Media are shown using the official players of YouTube (Google), TikTok and Instagram (Meta). When you load or play one, that company may collect information such as your IP address, device details and similar identifiers, under its own privacy policy. We do not control this and do not receive that information. You can read the YouTube, TikTok and Instagram privacy policies on their websites.

Emails you send us

If you contact us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it to reply to you and to improve the app.

3. Your religious beliefs

Using a Muslim prayer app may suggest something about your religious beliefs, which UK data protection law treats as especially sensitive. The app does not ask you to create an account and we do not collect information that identifies you through your use of it, so we do not hold a record that links you to Muslmaan. The same goes for the prayer tracker: the prayers you tick and any days you pause, which could say something about your health, stay on your phone and are never sent to us. If you email us, we only use what you tell us to help you.

4. Our legal bases

• Consent for using your location, which you give through your phone’s permission prompt and can withdraw at any time.
• Legitimate interests in answering your messages, dealing with requests from creators, and keeping this website secure.
• Legal obligation where we must keep or share information to comply with the law.

5. Who we share data with

We use very few service providers: Google, which provides our email (Gmail), for messages you send us, and the company that hosts this website. We do not sell personal data or share it for advertising. We may share information if the law requires it.

YouTube, TikTok and Instagram are not our service providers. When you watch a video, you deal with them directly under their own privacy policies.

6. International transfers

Some of our providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, we rely on protections recognised by UK law, such as UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement.

7. How long we keep it

• Website logs: kept by our website host for a short period for security, then deleted.
• Emails you send us: kept for up to 24 months, then deleted.
• Information on your phone: kept until you delete it or the app.

8. Children

Muslmaan is suitable for all ages and has no accounts. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you think a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask us to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to move it to another service. You can withdraw consent at any time. To make a request, email muslmaanapp@gmail.com.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. We would appreciate the chance to put things right first.

10. Security

We keep the data we process to a minimum and use reputable providers with appropriate security. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.

11. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy if the app changes the way it uses personal data, for example if we add optional sign-in. We will show the date of the latest version at the top, and tell you in the app before a significant change applies.

Terms of use

Last updated: 27 October 2026

1. About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and Salmaan Mahamoud, a sole trader based in England trading as Muslmaan (“we”, “us”), the provider of the Muslmaan app and this website. By downloading or using Muslmaan, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

Muslmaan is free to download. We may add, change or remove features over time. We aim to keep the app available but cannot promise it will always be uninterrupted or error-free.

2. Prayer times and Qibla direction

Prayer times are calculated from your location, the calculation method you choose and astronomical formulas. They are estimates and may differ from your local mosque’s timetable, especially for Fajr, Isha, and the start of Ramadan and Eid. Please check with your local mosque if you are unsure.

Alerts and alarms, including the suhoor alarm, depend on your phone’s settings, such as Do Not Disturb and battery saving, so please do not rely on them alone.

The Qibla compass relies on your phone’s sensors, which can be affected by magnets, metal and electronic devices. Calibrate your phone and check against a known landmark or your mosque’s direction where possible.

3. Religious content

Content in Muslmaan is for general learning and reminders. It is not a fatwa or personal religious ruling. For guidance on your own situation, please ask a qualified scholar or your local imam. The how-to guides show one way of doing things, and some details differ between schools of thought. We take care to check what we feature, but mistakes can happen. If you spot one, please tell us.

4. Quran text and translations

The Arabic text of the Quran is provided by the Tanzil Project (tanzil.net) and is used without modification under its terms of use. Translations and transliterations are credited to their sources in the app.

5. Videos from other creators

Videos in Media belong to their creators. They are shown through the official players of YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, and those platforms’ own terms apply when you watch them. We choose which creators to feature, credit every creator by name with a link to their channel, and label videos made with AI where we know a video was made that way. We are not responsible for content on other websites or platforms.

If you are a creator and want your videos removed from Muslmaan, email muslmaanapp@gmail.com and we will remove them within 48 hours.

6. Using the app

You may use Muslmaan for your own personal, non-commercial use. Please do not:

• use it for anything unlawful or harmful;
• copy, sell or redistribute the app or its content, except where the law allows;
• try to access our systems without permission, interfere with them, or collect content from the app automatically;
• reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows.

7. Our content

The Muslmaan name, logo, design and our own written content belong to us or our licensors. These terms give you a personal licence to use the app. They do not transfer any ownership to you.

8. If you downloaded Muslmaan from the Apple App Store

• These terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for the app and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
• To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for handling any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that it does not meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection claims.
• If anyone claims the app infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and dealing with that claim.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo, and that you are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

If you downloaded Muslmaan from Google Play, Google Play’s terms also apply.

9. Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded under UK law. Your legal rights as a consumer are not affected.

Muslmaan is provided free of charge for personal use. We are not responsible for business losses, or for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when you started using the app.

10. Changes and ending these terms

We may update these terms, for example when we add new features. We will show the date of the latest version at the top and tell you in the app about significant changes. You can stop using Muslmaan at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or stop providing the app if we need to.

11. Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales can hear any dispute. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts.
