Data notice

What this data is

UmmahPlaces is a directory of Muslim places: halal food, masjids, schools, services and professionals across the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. Ummah Media Group runs it. An entry holds a name, an address, a category, a website, a description, and for many a point on the map. Being listed is not a statement about anyone's faith.

Where the entries come from

Some entries are added by the business owner. Some are built from a public page, such as the business's own site or a public directory. Each such entry says where it came from when there is a source.

Some place data on this site was found with OpenStreetMap, through a service that turns an address into a point on the map. That data carries its own licence, named below. We do not take the description, the hours or the photos of a business from OpenStreetMap.

If an entry is about a business you own, you can claim it for free or ask us to remove it. Both links are on the entry.

Reusing this data

You may read this directory and quote from it. When you reuse a part of it, name UmmahPlaces and link to the page you took it from.

Do not copy the directory in bulk. Do not use it to send advertising or bulk messages to the businesses listed. Do not use it to harass anyone, or to pretend to be someone else.

This notice asks for attribution. It does not sell a licence to copy the directory in bulk.

Data from OpenStreetMap

The listings on this site are not built from OpenStreetMap. They are added by their owner, or built from a public page. Some place data on Ummah Media Group sites does come from OpenStreetMap, and that data carries its own licence.

OpenStreetMap data is open. It is licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL). Where we use it, we credit it like this:

Map data from OpenStreetMap, (c) OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License (ODbL).

In the live page, the words "OpenStreetMap" are a link to https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright. That page carries the licence and the list of sources OpenStreetMap itself credits.

The credit appears beside the map or the place data that uses it, not only on this page. If you reuse our map data, you carry the same credit and the same licence.

The version of this notice

This is version 1. It took effect on October 4, 2026. We change the version number and the date when the notice changes. A copy of our data that carries an older version date tells you roughly when that copy was taken.
