Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Arabic.app ("the app") is developed and operated by Aaratus, Inc. ("we", "us", "our"). This policy describes how we handle information when you use the iOS app, the web version, or visit our website at arabic.app.

2. Information we do not collect

To be unambiguous, the app does not collect, store, or transmit:

• Your name, email address, phone number, or any account credentials — the app has no accounts.
• Your contacts, photos, microphone audio, camera input, or location data.
• The names you type into in-app profiles. Profile names live only on your device or browser.
• Your quiz answers, lesson progress, streak history, or any learning data. All progress is stored locally.

3. What we do collect — and why

The app and website use analytics from Google (Firebase Analytics on iOS, Google Analytics 4 on the website) to record anonymous, aggregated usage events that help us understand how the product is used — for example, how many people complete a lesson, which lessons see the most quiz retries, or whether a new release crashes more often than the previous one. Specifically:

• Event names such as lesson_opened, quiz_completed, cta_click. None contain personal information.
• App / page state such as the lesson ID, the score band (e.g. "80–89%"), the app version, or the URL of the page you're viewing.
• Device-level metadata that Apple / Google automatically attach to analytics events: device model (e.g. "iPhone 17 Pro Max"), OS / browser version, screen size, locale, and a randomly-generated client identifier. This identifier is not linked to your Apple ID, Google account, name, or email. We also anonymise the last octet of your IP address before it reaches Google's servers.
• Crash data — automatic crash reports so we can fix bugs.

This data is anonymous and aggregated. We use it solely to improve the product. We do not sell it, and we do not use it for advertising.

4. What we do not show

We do not display advertising of any kind — no banner ads, no interstitials, no "watch a video to unlock" prompts, nothing. The app has no in-app purchases and no subscriptions. There is no monetisation pipeline attached to your behaviour inside the app.

5. Children's privacy

Arabic.app is family-friendly and frequently used by parents teaching their children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children — and as detailed above, we do not collect personal information from anyone. The app does not require sign-up, does not request permissions to access device features that could identify a child, and contains no advertising or external links beyond the App Store and this website.

6. Notifications

If you opt in to reminders on iOS, the app schedules local notifications on your device (for example, a daily practice reminder). These notifications are generated and stored entirely on your device by iOS. We do not operate a push-notification server and we do not send remote messages. The web version has no notifications.

7. Audio

All Arabic audio (letters, harakat, words, sentences, suras) is bundled inside the iOS app at install time, and served as static MP3 files on the web. Playback never requires us to receive any audio from you, and we do not record or process audio from your device's microphone.

8. Cookies and similar technologies

The website uses two categories of browser storage:

• Cookies set by Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) to count unique visitors and sessions. These contain a randomly-generated client identifier and no personal information.
• LocalStorage on the web version of the app (arabic.app:* keys) for your lesson progress, profile, theme, and language preference. This data never leaves your browser.

9. Third-party services

The product uses two third-party services, both for anonymous analytics only:

• Google Firebase Analytics (iOS app) — for the anonymous, aggregated metrics described in section 3. Firebase's own privacy terms apply to that data: firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
• Google Analytics 4 (website & web version of the app) — same purpose, same anonymous shape. Google's privacy terms: policies.google.com/privacy.

The product does not integrate any advertising SDKs, attribution SDKs, social-network SDKs, or tracking pixels.

10. Your rights

Because we do not collect personal data tied to your identity, there is no personal data we hold about you to access, correct, export, or delete. If you want to remove the anonymous analytics events your device has sent, deleting the app from your device resets the Firebase Instance ID; clearing your browser's site data for arabic.app resets the GA4 client ID. Reinstalling or reopening the site generates a new, unrelated ID.

11. Data retention

Firebase Analytics and GA4 retain event-level data for up to 14 months by default; aggregated reports may be retained longer. We do not retain any data outside of those Google services.

12. Changes to this policy

If we update this policy we will post the revised version at arabic.app/privacy and update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will also be summarised in a release-notes update on the App Store.
