Privacy Policy
Last updated 11 November 2026
The short version: this app collects nothing. There is no account, no server, no analytics and no advertising. Everything you enter stays in your own device's storage and is never transmitted anywhere.
What we collect
Nothing. We do not collect, receive, store or transmit any personal data. The developer has no ability to see anything you enter into this app.
What is stored on your device
The app saves your own entries locally so it can work offline and remember your progress between visits. This information never leaves your phone:
- Your name, departure date, trip length and chosen city, if you enter them
- Your checklist ticks, quiz scores, flashcard progress and achievements
- Your rite progress, tawaf and sa'i counts and Umrah timestamps
- Your daily worship log, tasbih counts, personal dua list and journal entries
- Your hotel details, meeting point, companion phone number, Mina camp and group leader details, a saved camp pin and a home location for prayer times, if you enter them
- Your "About me" details for the I'm-lost card (such as country, languages, phone, a contact at home, medical notes and blood type), your medicine list, and any children's names and photos you add for the lost-child cards, if you enter them
- Any documents you add to the vault, which are encrypted with a PIN that only you know
You can export all of this, except the vault documents, to a file at any time from Settings, and you can erase all of it permanently, vault included, with the reset option in Settings. Uninstalling the app may not remove this data on every phone or browser, so use Reset first if you want it gone.
Permissions the app may ask for
- Location, only if you tap "Near me", the qibla compass, "Use my location" to pin your hotel, the buttons that save or check a pin for your Mina camp, or "Use my location once" for prayer times at home. It is used on the device to calculate distance, direction and prayer times. A hotel pin, a camp pin or a home location (rounded to about a kilometre) set this way is saved on your device with your other entries. Your position or a saved pin leaves the device only if you open it or a route in Google Maps, or share a trip-setup link, which carries the hotel pin but not the camp pin or the home location.
- Motion and orientation sensors, only if you start the qibla compass, so the needle can follow your phone.
- Notifications, only if you switch on prayer reminders or medicine reminders. Reminders are generated on your device. There is no push server.
Every one of these is optional. Declining any of them leaves the rest of the app fully working.
Internet connections
The app is built to work with no connection at all. When you do have a connection it may contact three services. None receives anything you have entered, but like any website they see your device's IP address and browser type:
- Vercel, the web host the app itself is downloaded from, when you first open it and each time it checks for a newer version.
- Al Adhan, to fetch prayer times for Makkah and Madinah. Only the city and month are requested. If it is unreachable, the app calculates the times itself on your device.
- Google Fonts, to load the typefaces used in the design.
Opening a place in Google Maps, booking a sightseeing ticket or following a link to an external site hands you over to that company, whose own privacy policy then applies.
Children
The app includes a children's quiz and a children's daily tracker for families travelling together. Because nothing is collected or transmitted, no personal information about a child is ever gathered. Any names entered for children stay on the device like everything else.
Sharing your own data
Some features let you deliberately share something, such as a trip setup link, a route or a progress card. These use your device's own share sheet, and nothing is sent until you choose a recipient yourself.
Changes to this policy
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will appear on this page with a new date. Since the app collects nothing, any change is likely to be a clarification rather than a new use of data.
