We may use trusted service providers for services such as:

- App security
- Crash reporting
- Technical support
- Analytics, if used
These service providers may process information on our behalf. They should only use the information for the services they provide to us.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to protect the safety, security, rights, or property of the Organization, our users, or other people.

Third-party services may process certain information according to their own privacy policies.
We will disclose relevant third-party data practices in the Google Play Data Safety section where required.
Important: The final Google Play Data Safety declaration must exactly match the actual SDKs and services used by your App. Google requires developers to declare data collection and sharing performed by the App and by third-party SDKs.
8. Data Security

9. Account Security
If you create an account, you should keep your username, password, and other login information private.
You should not share your password with other people.
If you believe someone has accessed your account without your permission, please contact us as soon as possible.
10. Account and Personal Data Deletion
If the App allows you to create an account, you have the right to request deletion of your account and the personal information connected to that account.
Deletion from the App
The App will provide an easily accessible Delete Account option for users who have created an account.
Deletion from the Website
Users who no longer have access to the App will also be able to request account deletion through our website without needing to reinstall or use the App.
Account deletion webpage:
[INSERT YOUR ACCOUNT-DELETION WEBPAGE URL HERE]
The deletion webpage must clearly identify the Abululayia Siddiqia App and provide a simple way for users to request deletion.
When a valid deletion request is received, we will delete the account and associated personal information unless we are legally required or legitimately permitted to keep specific information.
If some information must be retained for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or other valid reasons, we will explain this and keep only the information that is necessary for that purpose.
Google Play requires apps that allow account creation to provide both an in-app deletion option and an external web-based deletion method. Simply disabling or freezing an account does not meet the requirement.
11. Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
We may retain information for:
- Providing App services
- Maintaining user accounts
- Security purposes
- Preventing fraud or misuse
- Resolving disputes
- Meeting legal requirements
When information is no longer required, we will delete it or make it anonymous where reasonably possible.
12. Children’s Privacy
The App is not designed to collect personal information from children for purposes that are not appropriate or permitted by applicable law.
If children are included in the App’s target audience, we will follow the applicable Google Play Families requirements and applicable privacy laws. This includes properly declaring the target audience and accurately declaring the App’s data practices.
Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information inappropriately may contact us so that we can review and take appropriate action.
13. Links to Other Websites
The App may contain links to the official Abululayia Siddiqia website or other third-party websites.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.
You should review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.
14. No Sale of Personal Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We do not use your personal information for selling products or financial services.
The Abululayia Siddiqia website and mobile App currently have no financial transaction or payment relationship with users.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when:
- The App changes
- New features are added
- Our data practices change
- Laws or regulations change
- Security practices change
When we make an important change, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
We recommend that users check this page from time to time.
