2. How We Use Your Data

When you submit text or an image, it is securely transmitted over the internet to our backend API (hosted on Hugging Face Spaces) solely to:

• Generate Arabic text with diacritics ("harakat").

• Extract Arabic text from images using OCR (Tesseract LSTM).

The submitted content is used only to generate and return the requested result.

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, marketing, or any unrelated purpose.

3. Data Storage and Security

Local Storage

Favorites and image history are stored locally on your device through SQLite and are never uploaded to our servers.

Server Processing

Text and images sent to our OCR/Diacritization API are processed only to generate the requested response.

We do not intentionally retain submitted content and do not maintain a server-side database containing user submissions.

Security

Data transmitted between the application and the backend is protected using encrypted HTTPS connections.

Although we implement reasonable security measures, no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

No Selling or Sharing

We do not:

• Sell

• Rent

• Trade

your information to third parties or advertising networks.

4. Permissions Used by the App

Permission Purpose

• Camera: Capture photos of Arabic text for OCR processing.

• Photos / Media: Select existing images from your gallery for OCR.

• Internet: Send text and images to the OCR and diacritization API and receive processing results.

You may deny or revoke these permissions at any time through your device settings. Doing so may limit the application's OCR functionality.

We encourage users to review Hugging Face's privacy practices, as they may apply to data processed on their infrastructure.
