PRIVACY
Last updated: August 16, 2026
The short version. UmmahArmy is a work platform, so most of what it holds about you is work: the missions you took, what you submitted, what you were rated, and what you earned. Some of that is deliberately visible to the people you work with. This page covers only what is specific to UmmahArmy; everything ecosystem-wide lives in one policy, linked at the bottom.
What UmmahArmy collects
- Your soldier profile - name, email, country, skills, bio, hours you're available, and a profile link. Your rank, missions completed, and average rating are computed from your work here, not supplied by you.
- Mission participation - which missions you deployed on, what you submitted (text, links, uploaded files), when you submitted it, and the rating and written feedback exchanged between you and the Ameer in both directions.
- UmmahPoints - every award and deduction is written to a ledger with the reason and the running balance, so a points total can always be explained rather than asserted.
- Paid missions - the amount, its status, and Stripe's references. Stripe handles the payout account; we never see or store your bank or card details.
- War-room messages - the messages and attachments you send on a mission thread.
- Organizations - if you lead one as an Ameer, its name, type, description, and the missions it has posted.
What other people see
Ameers browsing for soldiers see your name, photo, rank, skills, completed-mission count, and average rating. Soldiers see an organization's name, type, and mission history. War-room messages are visible to everyone on that mission.
One honest exception. War-room messages are not end-to-end encrypted. They are stored in a form our systems can read, and when a dispute is raised over a mission, the messages on that mission can be read by our staff to resolve it. We would rather say that plainly than call the war room "private."
Activity tracking on this site
UmmahArmy loads UMG's own first-party behavioral system, which links your activity here to your UmmahPass profile across our sites and is used today to improve the product. It is on by default, fully disclosed, and you can turn it off - which deletes the profile, not just future collection - in your UmmahPass privacy settings. Aggregate traffic measurement uses Matomo on our own servers. No Google Analytics, no Meta pixel, no ad-network cookies run on this site.
The commitment that matters most here
"We never generate fake activity - reviews, donor counts, member counts. What you see on our surfaces is real or clearly labeled."
Quoted from section 2 of the ecosystem privacy policy. On UmmahArmy that is why an auto-released mission shows no star rating instead of a default one - nobody rated it, so nothing is displayed.
Deleting your account
You can request deletion from your account settings. Profile data goes; the transaction and points records tied to paid work are kept for the period the law requires, and deletion requests themselves are logged so we can prove we honored them.
The Sitrep newsletter
If you sign up for The Sitrep (footer form), we collect your email, how often you asked for it ("weekly digest" or "every new mission"), and where you signed up. This is double opt-in: signing up sends a confirmation email, and nothing else sends until you click it. Every Sitrep email has an unsubscribe link (one click, no login). We do not track whether you open or click these emails - no tracking pixels. If you unsubscribe, we keep your address on file only to remember not to email you again (suppression), or delete it entirely on request.
The rest of the policy
UmmahArmy is part of the UmmahCity ecosystem and runs on a shared UmmahPass account. This site loads the UmmahPass behavioral tracking script, which links your activity across UMG sites to a profile you can turn off and erase at any time in your UmmahPass privacy settings.
Everything ecosystem-wide - the full description of that system and its off-switch, our self-hosted analytics, payments, security, data deletion, and the complete list of what we will never do - lives in one canonical policy at ummah.city/privacy, which governs this site too. This page covers only what is specific to UmmahArmy; the canonical policy and this page's site-specific facts together are the whole truth.
