How hiMasjid handles your mosque's data, and your own.

What hiMasjid is
hiMasjid puts prayer times and a slideshow on a mosque's TV, managed from a phone. This page says what we store to do that, where it lives, and how to have it removed. It covers this site, the app at app.himasjid.com and the screen at display.himasjid.com.
Signing in
You sign in with a Google account; there is no hiMasjid password. Google gives us your email address and name, and we keep those to know which mosque is yours and to reach you about your account. We never see your Google password.
Your mosque's data
To run the screen we store what you enter: the mosque's name, address, coordinates and time zone, its prayer-time settings, its slides and the images in them, its quiet-time messages, and the email addresses of the committee members you invite. The prayer times, the mosque's name and the slideshow are shown on the TV and on the mosque's public page, so they are public by design.
Where it lives
The database is hosted by Supabase in Sydney, Australia. Images are stored with Cloudflare. The app, the screen and this site run on Cloudflare's network, which keeps ordinary access logs, including IP addresses, for a short time to keep the service running.
Who else sees it
Google, for signing in. Supabase and Cloudflare, as above. When you search for your mosque's address, the text you type is sent to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service to find the coordinates. Nobody else. We do not sell or share your data for advertising, and there is no analytics or tracking on any of our pages.
Cookies and the TV
The app sets one cookie, to keep you signed in. This site sets none. The TV keeps a copy of the prayer times and the slideshow in its browser's own storage, so the screen keeps running for up to 30 days without a connection. That copy goes when the TV is unpaired or its browser data is cleared.
Deleting
Deleting your mosque in the app removes its data at once. Your Google account's email address and name stay in our records until you ask; email us and they are removed within 30 days.
