Sharing of information
We share information only with service providers who help us operate the site and community programs (for example hosting, email/SMS delivery, payment processing, or analytics), when required by law, or with your consent. Payment processors receive payment details directly and are responsible for their own privacy practices. We do not sell personal information. Mobile phone numbers and SMS/voice opt-in data are not shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

If you opt in to receive text messages or automated voice calls from this masjid, we may send prayer and schedule reminders, event and program announcements, volunteer opportunities, fundraising updates for masjid programs, and urgent community alerts. Message frequency varies; you may typically receive up to four SMS messages per month for routine updates, with higher frequency only for time-sensitive or emergency notices. Message and data rates may apply. We do not sell or share your mobile number with third parties for their marketing. Reply STOP to cancel SMS; reply HELP for help. You may also contact the masjid office using the Contact page.
Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, including record-keeping for donations and legitimate community operations, unless a longer period is required by law.
Children’s privacy
Our online services are not directed to children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us so we can delete it.
