Trust Center

Trust is the product. Below is how QiblaWeb keeps its no-ads, no-tracking, no-stored-visitor-data promise — technically, not just on paper.

Public promise

• Ad-free forever. No display ads, no native ads, no affiliate links, no sponsored ranking.
• No tracking. No cookies. No marketing pixels. No behavioral analytics. No Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or similar.
• No accounts. No login, no profiles, no preferences synced to a server.
• Your location stays local. When you use your current location, prayer-time and Qibla calculations run in your browser. Your exact coordinates are never sent to our server.
• Donations only, voluntary only. Core service is free for everyone. Donations cover hosting, development, and content review.

How this is implemented technically

1. There is no visitors table in the database. The D1 schema only contains public reference data: cities, methods, sourced duas.
2. GPS coordinates do not appear in URLs or request bodies. The browser-side script computes results locally.
3. No third-party assets on public pages (except Stripe on /donate and Turnstile on contact/donate forms).
4. Every deploy is auto-checked by CI for forbidden tracking patterns. The build fails immediately if Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Clarity, PostHog, Amplitude, Mixpanel or similar appears.
5. Server logs redact sensitive parameters (lat/lng/donation amounts/push endpoints).

What we do store

Only public reference data (numbers below are read live from the production database):

• 167 cities with approximate centers and timezones, plus 540 multilingual aliases
• 5 prayer calculation methods
• 8 curated duas with citations
• 26 educational articles with citations (after review)

Infrastructure providers

QiblaWeb runs entirely on Cloudflare's global network. When donations launch later, payment sessions will be created via Stripe Checkout. These are infrastructure providers only.

• Cloudflare — Hosting, CDN, DNS, WAF. Cloudflare privacy policy
• Stripe — Payment processing (Phase 1.5+). Stripe privacy policy

AI engines and crawlers

Our robots.txt allows search engines (Google, Bing) and answer engines (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot) to read our public content — QiblaWeb's value is being a sourced, citable resource. We disallow only crawlers that don't serve end users or that train closed models on the data.
