Prayertimesriyadh.com respects its visitors' privacy. The site does not collect personally identifying data to display prayer times, and its use of cookies is limited to saving display preferences such as your language and chosen calculation method.
This policy explains what kind of data this site may collect, how it's used, and the choices available to you, in line with Saudi Arabia's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and the general principles of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.
Using the site's core features (viewing prayer times, the Hijri date, Qibla direction) does not require creating an account or submitting any personal data.
This site uses a limited number of purely functional cookies, listed in the table below, with no advertising or external tracking cookies at this time.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
ptr_method |
Saves your selected prayer-time calculation method (such as Umm al-Qura or the Muslim World League). | One year |
ptr_school |
Saves your selected juristic school for calculating Asr time (Shafi'i or Hanafi). | One year |
pll_language |
Saves your preferred display language (Arabic or English), managed by the Polylang plugin. | About one year |
The site uses the Polylang plugin to manage its multilingual content, which may save a simple cookie to remember your preferred language (Arabic or English) between visits, not linked to any personally identifying data.
This site does not currently use any analytics tool such as Google Analytics. If we enable one in the future to understand how visitors use the site and improve their experience, we will update this policy immediately to explain the data collected (such as pages viewed, device type, and approximate location), and options will be provided to manage your consent.
This site is currently applying to join the Google AdSense program to display ads on its pages. Once the program is active, third-party cookies belonging to Google will be used to display ads, which may be personalized based on your visits to this site and others. The site will then provide a clear link to manage ad preferences, and you can always disable personalized ads directly from Google's ad settings at adssettings.google.com.
This site relies on Aladhan API to fetch astronomical prayer-time and Hijri-calendar data. All of these data requests are made directly from this site's servers to Aladhan API, not from your browser or device — meaning your personal information or IP address is never sent to Aladhan API while you browse this site.
The results of these requests are cached temporarily on our servers (up to 12 hours for prayer times, and 30 days for Hijri-calendar conversions) to reduce the number of requests and speed up page loading — entirely unrelated to your personal data.
When you choose a prayer-time calculation method or juristic school from the homepage, your choice is saved in a cookie on your device for one year, so the times shown match your preference on future visits without having to choose again.
If you're visiting this site from the European Union or European Economic Area, the GDPR gives you the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you. Since the site does not currently collect personally identifying data (other than what you voluntarily submit through the contact form), such requests are typically limited to contact-form data, if any exists.
As a site dedicated to serving Riyadh, this website is subject to the Personal Data Protection Law issued by the Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA). We adhere to the principles of transparency, purpose limitation, and data minimization, and we only collect personal data with your explicit consent (such as submitting the contact form). We never share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
This site offers general content and is not specifically directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from users under the age of 13.
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The last-updated date appears at the top of this page, and we recommend reviewing it periodically.
For any question about this policy or your data, you can reach us through our Contact Us page.
