Privacy Policy for Arabic Diary
Midhat Academy (“Service Provider”) built the Arabic Diary app (“Application”) as a Freemium app. This page informs visitors and users regarding our policies with the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of information.
Your Personal Diary Data (Local Storage)
The core functionality of Arabic Diary allows you to write personal thoughts, memories, and notes. By default, all your diary entries and personal writings are stored locally on your mobile device.
Midhat Academy does not access, read, collect, or store your personal diary entries on any Midhat Academy servers. Your memories remain private and under your direct control.
Google Drive Backup & Google API Limited Use Disclosure
Arabic Diary offers an optional cloud backup and restore feature powered by Google Drive. If you choose to sign in with your Google account and enable backup, the Application requests permission to access your Google Drive solely to create, store, and restore your own Arabic Diary backup files.
Arabic Diary’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere strictly to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements:
- Strict Feature Scope: Google Drive data is used exclusively to provide user-initiated backup and restore of your Arabic Diary entries inside your personal Google Drive account. We do not access, read, modify, or delete any unrelated files in your Google Drive.
- No Human Access: Our team does not read or view your backed-up diary files unless you provide explicit, affirmative consent for support troubleshooting, or it is required for security or legal compliance.
- No AI / ML Model Training: We do not use your Google Drive files, diary entries, or Google user data to develop, improve, or train generalized or non-personalized artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) models.
- No Advertising or Sale of Google Data: Google Drive data is never used for serving or targeting advertisements, and is never sold, rented, or transferred to third parties except as necessary to deliver the backup feature you authorized or as required by law.
- Revoking Access & Deletion: You can disconnect Google Drive backup anytime, delete your backup files directly from your Google Drive, or revoke app permissions from your Google Account Permissions page.
Information Collection, Voice Typing & Technical Data
While the Application does not collect your personal diary entries on our servers, it may automatically collect limited basic technical information to improve app stability and performance:
- Your device’s Internet Protocol address (IP address)
- The operating system version and device model
- Time spent on the Application and basic usage interactions
- Crash reports and anonymous diagnostics
Microphone / Voice Typing: When you tap the microphone for Arabic Voice Typing, audio input is processed solely through your device’s speech-to-text service to convert your speech into Arabic text inside your entry. Midhat Academy does not record or store your voice audio on external servers. The Application does not track your precise geographical location (GPS).
Third-Party Services
Only aggregated, anonymized technical data may be processed by trusted third-party SDKs to support app functionality, crash diagnostics, and displaying general advertisements (independent of your diary entries or Google Drive data). Please review the privacy policies of these third-party service providers:
Disclosure of Information
The Service Provider may disclose Automatically Collected Information only:
- As required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process;
- When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a valid government request;
- With trusted service providers working on our behalf who do not have an independent use of the information disclosed to them and have agreed to adhere to the rules set forth in this privacy policy.
Opt-Out Rights & Data Retention
Opt-Out: You can stop all collection of information by the Application easily by uninstalling it using your device’s standard uninstall process. You can also revoke Google Drive access anytime from your Google Account settings.
Data Retention: Your local diary entries stay on your mobile device until you delete them or uninstall the Application. Optional Google Drive backup files remain stored solely in your personal Google Drive account until you delete them. Automatically collected anonymous technical logs are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for analytics and stability diagnostics.
Children’s Privacy
The Service Provider does not use the Application to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. In the case the Service Provider discovers that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will immediately delete it. If you are a parent or guardian and are aware that your child has provided personal information, please contact us at mailmidhatacademy@gmail.com so necessary action can be taken.
Security
We take the confidentiality of your information seriously. The Application provides device-level safeguards including optional PIN and Fingerprint App Lock features for local entries, and uses encrypted HTTPS connections when communicating with Google Drive APIs for backup and restore.
Changes to This Privacy Policy & Consent
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically, as continued use of the Application after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
By using Arabic Diary, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
