Pretty much the title. I'm trying to find some ammunition to fight my HOA on wasting our money. They make us use an app to gain access to amenities, and I want to see what telemetry the app sends back or what it may track.

I tried TrackerControl, but the app (alarm.com) doesn't pop up in its feed.

This doesn't show individual requests, but it shows the tracker libraries and permission demands: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.alarm.alarmmobile.android/latest/

Does this app itself do the security surveiling or why does it need access to the camera, microphone, location, user movement, biometrics, contacts etc.?

It is literally a tap to enter nfc pad. There is no need for ANYTHING listed in those permissions.

Bonus points for us having to register with our real names, phone numbers and addresses for access.
