This Privacy Policy is provided by the Developer of the Athar (أثر) application (the "App") and describes how information is collected, used, and shared when you use our App. We are committed to transparency regarding the data practices imposed by the platform used to create this free application.

The Athar App itself is designed to function without collecting any personally identifiable information (PII) directly from the user. However, due to the nature of the free application creation platform and the integration of third-party services, the following types of data are collected and/or shared automatically and continuously whenever the App is in use:
Data Type
Collection Status
Purpose of Collection
Device or other IDs (e.g., Advertising ID, Android ID)

App functionality, Analytics, and Advertising/Marketing.
Approximate location (derived from IP address)

App functionality, Analytics, and Advertising/Marketing.
Precise location
Required/Ephemeral
This data is collected ephemerally (processed in memory for a short time and not stored) solely for App functionality reasons related to platform requirements.
Email Address
Optional
Collected only when a user voluntarily contacts the developer for support or inquiries (Developer Communications).
Export to Sheets
Note on Required Data: The collection of Device IDs and Approximate Location is required for the application to function, as these data types are automatically transmitted by the integrated Third-Party SDKs used to support the free operation of the App. Users cannot opt-out of this essential collection.
We are obliged to disclose that the collected Device IDs and Approximate Location are shared with third-party service providers to enable the operation of the App, specifically for the purposes of advertising and analytics.
The App relies on third-party SDKs (Software Development Kits) from our App Creator platform (e.g., AppNext, Pangle, etc.) that are integrated into the App’s code to finance the platform’s free service. These providers collect the data listed above for the following purposes:
Advertising or Marketing: To display or target relevant advertisements within the App, manage ad campaigns, and measure ad performance.
Analytics: To analyze App usage, track the performance of the integrated services, and monitor device health.
App Functionality: To ensure the core services provided by the third-party platform are operational.
We do not control the data practices of these third parties and encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party services mentioned in relation to the App Creator platform.
Security: All user data that is collected or transmitted is encrypted in transit using industry-standard protocols (e.g., HTTPS) to ensure data security.
Retention: We retain data collected directly by us (such as Email Addresses for support) only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. Data collected and retained by Third Parties is governed by their respective privacy policies.
Since we collect data that is defined as user data, you have the right to request deletion of any data that we, as the developer, may hold (such as your support Email Address).
You can submit a request for data deletion by contacting us at the Email Address listed in Section 1. We commit to responding to all valid requests within a reasonable timeframe.
The Athar App is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect any PII from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately so we can take steps to remove the information.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
