Privacy Policy & Version Changelog
Last Updated: 16 September 2026
Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) is committed to protecting your personal information and privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use AppsWarga. We may update this policy periodically at our discretion, so we encourage you to review it regularly.
We may collect the following types of personal information:
Some features collect more than others. If you do not use a feature, the data that feature collects is not collected from you.
Information collected is used for the following purposes:
The mobile app reads physical activity data from your device's health platform to support its fitness and wellness features. The following data types may be read:
Android: The app uses Android Health Connect to read this data. You may revoke permissions at any time through your device's Health Connect settings.
iOS: The app uses Apple HealthKit to read this data. You may revoke permissions at any time through Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > AppsWarga.
The following applies to all health and fitness data accessed by the app:
How your step data is stored and who can see it. So that the app can show your history, streaks and achievements across devices, your daily step count — together with walking distance and calories burned where available — is uploaded to and stored on UiTM servers as your personal activity record. It is not held only for the current session.
If you take part in the step tracker, your display name, profile photo and step totals appear on leaderboards that are visible to other signed-in AppsWarga users, including departmental and event leaderboards. This is the purpose of the feature. If you would rather not appear, you can turn step syncing off in Steps Tracker > Settings, or revoke the health permission on your device as described above.
Your step history and achievements are deleted when you delete your account — see section 7.
Several features need to know where you are at the moment you use them. The app requests location access only while it is in use — it does not track your location in the background.
Your precise coordinates, together with the street address they resolve to, are recorded and retained when you:
Viewing a map — for example the Purple Track route map — uses your location only to centre the view, and does not record it.
To convert coordinates into a readable address the app uses the geocoding service built into your device's operating system, which means those coordinates are sent to Google (on Android) or Apple (on iOS) for that purpose. You can withdraw location permission at any time in your device settings; features that depend on it will stop working.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers. Your information is shared only as described here:
We keep your information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy.
Records kept for longer. Some records must be retained beyond the periods above because UiTM is required to keep them as official University records, or because they exist to protect the safety of the campus community. These are:
These are retained in accordance with UiTM's records retention obligations and applicable Malaysian law, and are then disposed of under those same rules. They are not deleted by the account deletion described in section 7.
You can ask us to delete your AppsWarga account and the data it holds at any time. There is no charge, and you do not have to give a reason.
In the app — the fastest way. Open Settings, scroll to Delete Account, and confirm by typing your email address. Deletion begins immediately and permanently removes:
You are signed out immediately and on every device. If you sign in again afterwards, you begin with a fresh profile.
If you can no longer sign in — for example your UiTM account has been closed — submit a deletion request through e-Aduan ICT (UNITS) at units.uitm.edu.my. State that you are requesting deletion of your AppsWarga data and include the email address you used with the app. We will verify that the request comes from the account holder and complete it within thirty (30) days.
To remove data held on your device only, use Settings > Reset App, or uninstall the app. This does not delete anything held on our servers.
What deletion does not remove. The records listed at the end of section 6 — attendance, academic, financial, assistance applications, health declarations and visit-pass entries — are official University records that UiTM is required to keep, and they are retained after your account is deleted.
Your University record is separate. Deleting your AppsWarga account does not close or affect your UiTM staff or student account, or your record in any other University system.
UiTM is committed to ensuring the security of your information. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect:
AppsWarga uses session and authentication cookies that are necessary for the app to function. These cookies help us manage your login session and maintain security.
You may configure your browser to decline cookies; however, doing so may affect the functionality of the app.
AppsWarga may contain links to external systems and websites. UiTM is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those external sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of any websites you visit that are linked from this app.
Your personal information will not be sold, distributed, or leased to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so.
If you believe any information we hold about you is incorrect or incomplete, please contact your respective department or the Digital Department for correction. To have your data deleted, see section 7.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, or wish to exercise any of the rights described in it, please contact:
