Hajj & Umrah Guide
Last updated: October 7, 2025 · AshCore Labs
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Hajj & Umrah Guide ("we," "our," or "us"), developed by AshCore Labs, handles information when you use our iOS application (the "App").
Hajj & Umrah Guide is a privacy-focused, educational mobile application designed to help Muslims worldwide prepare for and perform their pilgrimage. The app features step-by-step Hajj and Umrah instructions, authentic duas with Arabic text and translations, audio recitations, Miqat guides, and an FAQ section. The app works completely offline and requires no account.
2. Privacy-First Design
- No account required — use all features without registration
- No personal data collection — we do not collect or store personal information
- No location tracking — no GPS or location services
- No ads — completely ad-free experience
- No tracking — no advertising IDs, no cross-app tracking
- Offline-capable — core features work without internet connection
3. Information We Collect
What We Do Not Collect
- Personal information or user accounts

4. How We Use Information
The minimal anonymous data we receive (crash reports, aggregate usage stats from Apple) is used solely to identify and fix technical issues and improve the App.
We do not use any data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the App.
5. App Permissions
Hajj & Umrah Guide requests only minimal, essential permissions:
| Permission | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|

The App does not request camera, microphone, location, contacts, or calendar access.
6. Third-Party Services
Hajj & Umrah Guide does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
The only diagnostic data we may receive is Apple's anonymized App Store crash reports and download analytics, governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
7. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information. There is no personal information to share.
Limited disclosure may occur only for:
- Compliance with applicable law or a valid legal process
- Protecting the rights or safety of users or others
- Apple-provided anonymized diagnostics
8. Data Security
All app content is stored locally on your device. We operate no backend servers and hold no user data.
Your device's own security (iOS encryption, Face ID / Touch ID, screen lock) is the primary protection layer.
9. Your Rights
Because we collect no personal data, all data rights are exercised directly on your device:
- Delete all app data by uninstalling the App.

10. Children's Privacy
The app is suitable for all ages and contains only authentic Islamic educational content. No personal data is collected, making it safe for children with parental guidance. We comply with COPPA principles.
