Who we are
Uthman Mosque (also known as Masjid Uthman) is the data controller for any personal information collected through this website. You can reach us at:
Uthman Mosque
37 Plantagenet Street
Riverside, Cardiff CF11 6LS
United Kingdom
What we collect
We only collect what you choose to send us through the contact form on this site:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your phone number (optional)
- The subject and content of your message
That's the only personal data this website collects. We do not run analytics, set tracking cookies, or fingerprint visitors.
Why we collect it
Solely so we can read your enquiry and reply to it. We do not use your details for marketing, do not add you to any mailing list, and do not share or sell your information to anyone.
The lawful bases under UK GDPR are consent (you actively chose to send us a message) and legitimate interest (responding to enquiries about the mosque's activities).
How long we keep it
Messages and the contact details attached to them are kept only for as long as is reasonably necessary to handle your enquiry — typically up to 24 months — after which they are deleted. Where there is an ongoing relationship (for example, ongoing class enrolment, nikāḥ proceedings, or pastoral support), we will keep the relevant correspondence for as long as that relationship continues.
Who else sees your data
We use a small number of trusted third parties to run this website. They act as data processors on our behalf:
- Formspree — handles the contact form submission and forwards it to our email. Formspree privacy policy ↗
- Our email provider — receives your message so we can read it.
- Cloudflare — hosts and protects this website.
Other services on this site
For full transparency, the following third-party services may receive limited information (such as your IP address) when you visit certain pages:
- Google Fonts — loads our typefaces. Google privacy policy ↗
- Aladhan API — calculates daily prayer times. aladhan.com ↗
- Masjidbox — provides the embedded prayer-times widget on the Prayer Times page. The widget may set its own cookies within its iframe, governed by Masjidbox's own privacy policy.
Cookies
This website itself does not set any cookies. The Masjidbox widget on the Prayer Times page operates inside its own iframe and may set cookies that are subject to Masjidbox's policy, not ours.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict processing
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Receive a copy of your data
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via the contact form. We will respond within one calendar month.
Children
This website is not directed at children. Registration for our Quran and Islamic studies classes is handled in person at the mosque by parents or guardians on paper, not through this website.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, please raise it with us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the UK's data protection regulator:
