Last Updated: 31 October 2026
1. Introduction
Jami' Masjid Noorani ("JMN", "we", "our" or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used and protected when you use the JMN Halifax mobile application ("the App"), make donations or contact us by email.
We aim to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
2. Information We Collect
Our App provides access to Masjid information, prayer times, announcements, community services and donation facilities.
Depending on how you use the App, the following information may be processed:
Donation information
When you make a donation through Stripe, information may include:
- Your name and email address.
- The donation amount and date.
- Payment transaction references.
- Payment status and donation confirmation.
- Gift Aid details, where applicable.
Email communications
If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and any information you choose to provide in your message.
Technical information
Limited technical information, such as device information, notification tokens or error logs, may be processed where necessary to provide and maintain App functionality.
We do not require personal information simply to view publicly available Masjid information.
3. Donations and Stripe Payments
All donations made through the App are processed using Stripe, our third-party payment provider.
Stripe securely handles payment information, including card details and payment authorisation.
JMN may receive donation records and transaction confirmations for administration, accounting and recordkeeping.
We do not directly store full debit or credit card numbers or card security codes in our App database.
Stripe processes personal information under its own privacy practices, which can be reviewed at:

4. How We Use Your Information
We use information only for appropriate purposes, including:
- Processing and recording charitable donations.
- Providing donation confirmations and receipts.
- Managing applicable Gift Aid records.
- Responding to enquiries sent by email.
- Providing App functionality and notifications.
- Maintaining security and resolving technical issues.
- Meeting legal, financial and regulatory obligations.
We do not sell your personal information to advertisers or use it for unrelated commercial marketing.
5. Legal Basis for Processing
Where personal information is processed, we rely on an appropriate legal basis under UK GDPR.
These may include:
- Legitimate interests: Managing donations, responding to enquiries and operating the App securely.
- Legal obligations: Maintaining financial, accounting and tax records.
- Consent: Where required for optional communications or other processing.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
6. Sharing Information
Personal information may be shared with trusted service providers where necessary to operate the App.
These may include Stripe, hosting and infrastructure providers, and notification service providers.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law or to comply with legitimate regulatory obligations.
We do not sell personal information to third parties.
7. Data Security and Retention
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or loss.
Access to donation and administrative records is restricted to authorised individuals where appropriate.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for operational, financial and legal purposes.
Donation, accounting and Gift Aid records may be retained for periods required by applicable UK legislation and HMRC rules.
Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted or anonymised.
8. App Notifications
The App may provide notifications relating to prayer times, Masjid announcements, community activities and other updates.
Notification preferences can generally be controlled through your device settings.
Where notifications involve direct marketing or fundraising appeals, we will follow applicable UK electronic marketing requirements.
9. Children's Privacy
Our App provides general Masjid information and community resources.
We do not intentionally collect unnecessary personal information from children.
Where any services involve children's personal information, appropriate data protection safeguards will apply.
10. International Data Processing
Some third-party service providers, including Stripe, may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where international transfers take place, appropriate safeguards will be applied as required by UK data protection legislation.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Under UK data protection legislation, you may have the right to:
- Access personal information held about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of information in certain circumstances.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
