Privacy Policy — Athan in Chrome
Effective 30 October 2026
Athan in Chrome is a browser extension that announces the Islamic prayer times. It has no account, no advertising and no analytics, and the developer runs no servers. The developer never receives, sees or stores any of your data.
Information the extension uses
Your location. You either let Chrome detect it (only when you click "Detect my location", and Chrome asks your permission first) or you type a city. It is needed to calculate prayer times.
Your settings. Calculation method, sounds, reminders, theme and similar choices.
Your prayer tracker. The prayers you choose to tick off as prayed.
Your tasbih count.
Where it is stored
Settings and the prayer tracker are kept in your browser's extension storage. If you're signed in to Chrome with sync turned on, Chrome syncs them between your own browsers through your Google account, as it does for any extension.
Prayer times for the current and next month, and your tasbih count, are kept only on your device.
What is sent to other services
The extension contacts two public services only, to provide its core function:
Aladhan (aladhan.com) receives your coordinates or city name, together with your calculation method and minute adjustments. It returns the prayer times. This happens about once a month.
Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com) receives the text you type into the city search box. It returns matching cities.
These services receive this information under their own privacy policies. Nothing else leaves your browser.
What the extension does on websites
At prayer time the extension shows its prayer card on the tab you're viewing, and pauses video and audio playing in your tabs so the athan can be heard. If you turn on "Keep quiet during meetings", it checks the addresses of your open tabs, on your device, to see whether a Google Meet, Zoom or Teams call is open. The extension never reads, stores or transmits the content of the pages you visit or your browsing history.
What we don't do
We don't sell, rent or share your data with anyone.
We don't use your data for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness or any purpose other than showing prayer times and the features described here.
We don't use cookies, trackers or analytics.
Your choices
You can change or clear your location at any time in the extension's settings.
You can export or import your data from Settings → About.
Removing the extension deletes everything it stored on your device. Synced data is removed by Chrome according to your Google account's sync settings.
Children
The extension isn't directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date
Terms and conditions Terms of Use — Athan in Chrome
Effective 30 October 2026
These terms apply to your use of the Athan in Chrome browser extension (the "Extension"). By installing or using the Extension, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please uninstall the Extension.
1. The Extension is free
The Extension is provided free of charge for personal, non-commercial use. You may not sell, resell or redistribute it, or present a modified copy as the original.
2. Prayer times are calculated estimates
Prayer times, Hijri dates, Qibla direction, Islamic occasions and fasting days shown by the Extension are calculated automatically from astronomical formulas and third-party data. They may differ from your local mosque, your community's moon sighting, or the method you follow, and they may be affected by an incorrect location, time zone, device clock or calculation setting.
You are responsible for confirming prayer times, the start and end of fasts, and religious dates with your local mosque or a trusted authority. The Extension is a reminder tool, not a religious authority, and nothing in it is a religious ruling (fatwa).
3. No guarantee of alerts
The Extension depends on your browser, your computer and your internet connection. An athan, reminder or notification may be late, silent or missed, for example if your computer is asleep, Chrome is closed, sound is muted, notifications are blocked, or a meeting is detected. Don't rely on the Extension as your only way of knowing prayer or fasting times.
4. Third-party services
Prayer times come from Aladhan (aladhan.com), and city search comes from Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com). These services are independent of the Extension. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their availability, accuracy or policies.
5. Provided "as is", without warranty
The Extension is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. This includes, without limitation, warranties of accuracy, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
6. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer of the Extension is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of any kind, arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Extension. This includes, without limitation:
a missed, late or incorrect prayer time, fast, suhoor, iftar or religious date
an incorrect Qibla direction
audio playing or pausing at an unwanted time, including during meetings, calls or recordings
loss of data, including your settings or prayer tracker
any interruption to your browser, other websites or other extensions
If, despite the above, the developer is found liable for anything, total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the Extension, which is zero.
Some jurisdictions don't allow certain warranties or liabilities to be excluded. In those jurisdictions, these limits apply to the fullest extent the law allows.
7. Your responsibilities
You agree to use the Extension lawfully, and you are responsible for your device and settings, including volume, notifications and the location you choose.
8. Intellectual property
The Extension's code, design and artwork belong to the developer. Qur'anic verses, hadith and the words of the athan are quoted for religious and educational purposes. Third-party names and trademarks (such as Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Aladhan and Open-Meteo) belong to their owners and are used only to describe compatibility.
9. Changes and discontinuation
The Extension, or any part of it, may be changed, suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. These terms may also be updated. The new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date, and continued use of the Extension means you accept it.
10. Privacy
How the Extension handles your information is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [YOUR COUNTRY / STATE], without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
12. Contact
