3. Legal Grounds for Processing Personal Information

In Simple Terms:
We only collect and process your personal information when there's a clear and valid legal reason to do so. Depending on your country or region, this might include your consent, a legal requirement, the fulfillment of a contract, the protection of essential interests, or our legitimate business needs.

For Users in the EU, UK, and Similar Jurisdictions:

We process your personal data in compliance with applicable data protection laws. This may be based on:

• Your Consent – You’ve explicitly allowed us to use your information for specific purposes. You can revoke this at any time.
• Contractual Obligation – We need the data to fulfill a contract or take action before entering one.
• Legal Compliance – We’re required to collect or retain data to meet legal obligations.
• Vital Interests – We may process data to protect your life or the safety of others.
• Legitimate Interests – We may use your data to operate and improve our services, as long as it doesn’t override your rights or freedoms.

Notice for Users in Canada

If you're a Canadian resident, certain data processing activities may be carried out under either express or implied consent, depending on the context.

In some cases, Canadian law permits us to process your personal data without prior consent. These exceptions include, but are not limited to:

• When it's urgent and in your best interest, but getting your consent is impractical.
• For the purpose of investigating or preventing fraud and unlawful activities.
• As part of a lawful business transaction, provided privacy safeguards are in place.
• To support an insurance claim using a witness statement.
• For identifying, locating, or notifying a next of kin of an injured, ill, or deceased person.
• Where there's reason to suspect financial abuse.
• When consent would compromise an investigation related to a legal breach.
• If legally required by a subpoena, court order, or similar legal mechanism.
• In the course of someone's professional duties, where data usage aligns with the original purpose.
• If the data is collected for journalistic, literary, or artistic purposes.
• If the information is already publicly available under Canadian privacy laws.

This notice reflects our commitment to follow regional data protection principles while offering transparent practices regardless of where you're located.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

As an independent developer, I only use your personal data as needed to support the features of the Mutabaah Go app. I do not share your personal information with unrelated third parties, and I never sell your data for any reason.

However, in limited situations, I may share your information with third parties, strictly for the purposes described below:

• With Essential Service Providers: Your data may be processed by tools or platforms that help the app function—such as Firebase for notifications or Google Sign-In for authentication. These providers only access the data required for their service.
• When Legally Required: If there is a legal obligation—such as a court order or request from authorities—I may disclose data to comply with applicable laws.
• During App Changes or Handovers: If the app is ever transferred, updated, or merged with another project, and data transfer is needed to keep your account active, you will be informed before it happens.
• With Your Permission: In any case where data sharing is not strictly required, I will only do so with your explicit consent.

I do NOT sell, rent, or share your personal information with advertisers or unrelated third parties.

5. Retention of Your Data

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to support the core features of the Mutabaah Go application or to comply with applicable legal obligations.

When an account is deleted by the user, all associated data—including worship records and child profile information—will be permanently erased from the system, unless a longer retention period is legally required (e.g. for security or compliance).

If the app remains unused for an extended period without account deletion, certain non-identifiable data (such as activity logs or usage patterns) may be retained temporarily for system performance monitoring and future app improvement. Users may request full data deletion at any time.

6. How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security measures are implemented to help protect personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. While every effort is made to safeguard information, it’s important to acknowledge that no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure.

To enhance data protection:

• Encryption protocols are used during data transmission, particularly for login and account-related processes.
• Access to personal data is limited and granted only to those who require it to operate or support app functionality.

Important: Users are encouraged to remain cautious and avoid sharing sensitive or unnecessary personal information within the app or through external channels.

7. Your Data Rights

In accordance with data protection laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), users may have specific rights regarding their personal data, depending on their location and applicable regulations.

These rights may include:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data currently stored.
• Correction: Request updates or corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request permanent removal of personal data.
• Objection: Restrict or object to certain types of data processing.

8. Children’s Privacy

This Service is intended for use by individuals who are 18 years of age or older.

The application includes features that allow adult users to manage profiles for children (such as worship tracking), but personal accounts are not intended to be created or managed directly by minors.

No personal data is knowingly collected from individuals under the age of 18 without the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. If you are a guardian and believe that a minor has submitted personal information without consent, please contact us promptly to address the situation.

By using this Service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old or have appropriate legal authorization to manage data on behalf of a minor.

9. International Data Transfers

To deliver reliable and secure services, certain personal data may be processed or stored on servers located outside the user’s country of residence. This may include data handling by cloud infrastructure providers such as Firebase, Google Fonts, or other integrated third-party services.

These services may operate in jurisdictions that do not have the same level of data protection laws as your home country. In such cases, reasonable steps are taken to ensure that your personal information remains protected and handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

By using the application, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, features, or data handling practices.

If any material changes are made:

• An in-app notification or email may be sent to inform affected users.
• The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.

Continued use of the Service after such updates indicates acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

11. In-App Account Deletion

Users may delete their account permanently at any time through the app interface. This option is available under:

Settings → Delete Account → Confirm

Once confirmed, all personal data associated with the account—including worship records and child profiles—will be permanently deleted from the system and cannot be recovered.

Please note: Account deletion is available only through the app and cannot be requested externally via email or other channels.

For complete instructions, please visit our How to Delete Account page.

12. Data Safety Disclosure

The app’s data handling practices are clearly disclosed in the Google Play Data Safety section, in accordance with platform requirements.

This includes:

• What types of data are collected
• How the data is used within the app
• Whether any data is shared with third-party services

All disclosures are made to ensure full compliance with Google Play’s User Data policies and to provide users with clear, accessible information regarding their privacy.
