1. Introduction
Welcome to Yalla Hajj ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it when you use the Yalla Hajj mobile application (the "App") and its related services.
2. Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the App, express an interest in obtaining information about us, or otherwise contact us.
- Personal Data: Information such as your email address, name, and basic profile data obtained via Google Sign-In or Apple Sign-In.
- Location Data: The App requires access to your precise and approximate location (including background location access) to provide core features, such as contextual spiritual guidance, Hajj/Umrah location tracking, and Qibla direction. Background location is essential for triggering location-specific notifications even when the app is closed.
- Financial Data: We offer premium features directly through the App. Payment processing is natively handled by Google Play or Apple App Store, managed via RevenueCat. We do not store direct financial or credit card information.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To securely facilitate the account creation and logon process through our secure backend provider (Supabase).
- To provide location-based spiritual guidance, alert you upon reaching vital Meeqat or Holy site parameters.
- To power the interactive AI chat functions, using contextual requests to Google Gemini securely.
- To process your premium subscriptions, transactions, and access to premium features smoothly.
- To communicate with you regarding service updates or technical support.
4. Sharing Your Information
We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations. Our third-party service providers include:
- Supabase: For secure database hosting and user authentication.
- RevenueCat: For tracking and managing in-app subscription entitlements.
- Google Gemini: To provide intelligent guidance. (Note: Only limited requested context is shared).
- Google / Apple Services: For authentication, in-app billing, mapping integrations, and app analytics.
5. Data Security & Retention
We have implemented appropriate organizational and technical security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. Data is stored securely and we only retain your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
6. Your Privacy Rights & Deletion
In accordance with the applicable privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, CPRA), you have the right to access, review, modify, or permanently delete your personal information.
