How SharoidTech protects your sacred pilgrimage data with transparency and security.
Last Updated: September 2026 • Effective Worldwide
SharoidTech is deeply committed to protecting the sacred privacy of our pilgrims. We never sell, monetize, or track your personal pilgrimage activities.
• Zero Data Monetization: We never sell, rent, or lease pilgrim information to advertising networks. • Local-First Storage: Your checklists, Duas, and prayer trackers are stored locally on your device by default. • Strict Encryption: Any optional cloud backups via Google Authentication are encrypted and protected by strict Firebase Security Rules.
1. Pilgrim Profile Data: Custom pilgrim name, title, and selected avatar preset stored locally in SharedPreferences. 2. Optional Google Account Credentials: If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive your Display Name, Email address, and Profile Photo URL to authenticate your cloud account. 3. Ritual & Tracking Statistics: Counts of completed Tawaf, Sa'i laps, Salah streaks, and packing checklist checkboxes.
First Umrah requests Location permission (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) solely to: • Calculate accurate astronomical 5 Daily Salah timings for your current city. • Determine your orientation relative to the Holy Kaaba in Makkah (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E) for the Celestial Qibla compass. Your GPS coordinates are computed entirely on-device and are NEVER transmitted to external advertising or analytics trackers.
When Google Sign-In is enabled, your ritual progress and checklists are synced to our secure Firebase Realtime Database infrastructure (asia-southeast1). Access is locked strictly to your authenticated Google UID through declarative Firebase Security Rules. Disconnecting your Google Account instantly wipes cloud access.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS: To display Azan reminders and pre-prayer alerts. • SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM: To trigger precise Azan audio on exact prayer seconds. • USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT: To wake the lock screen for interactive Azan calls. • VIBRATE: To provide tactile feedback when completing Tawaf circuits and Sa'i laps.
You maintain full control over your pilgrimage data at all times: • Reset local packing lists, Salah streaks, or educational reading cards via the Profile screen. • Sign out of your Google account at any time with a single tap. • To request permanent cloud deletion of your account record, email sharoidtech@gmail.com with your Google email.
First Umrah contains family-friendly Islamic educational materials suitable for pilgrims of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 without parental consent, adhering to COPPA, GDPR, and international data protection regulations.
