Privacy Policy

Mosque Finder Singapore is a free community project by Project Sabeel. This policy explains, in plain language, what information the app and website handle and what we never do. Last updated: 24 September 2026.

The short version: you do not need an account to use the app, we do not show ads, we do not sell data, and your location is only used on your own device when you ask for it.

No account needed

Anyone can search, browse the map, view prayer times and get directions without signing up or signing in. Only volunteer reviewers who check community contributions create accounts, as described below.

Location

  • Your location is only requested when you tap "Use My Location". Your device always asks for permission first, and you can decline.
  • Location is used on your device to centre the map and estimate distances to nearby prayer spaces. It is not stored on our servers, not shared with anyone, and not published.
  • If you decline, everything else still works — search by name, area or postal code.

Community contributions

You can optionally contribute photos, detail corrections or closure reports for a prayer space. When you do:

  • Providing your name and email is optional. If given, they are stored with the submission so a reviewer can follow up, and are visible only to reviewers.
  • Photos are uploaded to private storage. Nothing appears publicly until a reviewer approves it.
  • We do not use contributed photos or details for any other purpose.

Support pledges

If you choose to make a pledge of support, the name, email and message you enter are stored so the Project Sabeel team can read them. They are visible only to the team and are never published or shared. Pledges involve no payment through this app — giving, if you choose it, happens on the Project Sabeel website.

Reviewer accounts

Volunteers who review community contributions sign in with an email address (or Google sign-in). We store the account email and their review decisions. Reviewer accounts have no connection to browsing behaviour — signing in changes nothing about how the app tracks visitors, because it does not track visitors.

Services the app relies on

  • Map imagery is served by OpenStreetMap contributors and CARTO.
  • Daily prayer times are fetched from the public Aladhan service, calculated with the MUIS method for Singapore.
  • Directions buttons open Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze. Once you leave the app, those services' own privacy policies apply.
  • The app sends basic, anonymous error reports when something breaks, so we can fix it. These contain technical details about the failure, not personal information.

What we never do

  • We never sell or rent information.
  • We never show advertising or third-party trackers.
  • We never publish your location, contact details or pledge messages.

Children

The app is a general-purpose community directory and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

If the app's data handling changes, this page will be updated with a new date. The current version is always at this address.
