Al Maydan App Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 15, 2026
Developer and data controller: Muhammad Hassoud
App: Al Maydan — package com.hassoud.almaydan

This policy directly explains how the Al Maydan app and website collect, use, share, protect, retain, and delete data. By using the app, you acknowledge that you have read this policy.

1. Data we collect

• Account and contact data: name, email address, phone number, user ID, sign-in method, and an optional profile image.
• App activity: quiz answers, scores, progress, bookmarks, virtual coins and rewards, contests, battles, and reports you submit.
• Purchases: product or transaction history and purchase status when in-app purchases are enabled. Google Play or Apple processes payment credentials; we do not store your full card number.
• Device and operational data: app and OS version, device type, IP address and server logs, push token, diagnostics, interactions, and technical identifiers used by authentication, analytics, and advertising services subject to the privacy settings below.
• User-provided content: profile images, support messages, and question reports.

The app does not request precise location, contacts, call logs, or SMS. The current Android release removes the legacy advertising ID and Privacy Sandbox topics/attribution permissions.

2. How we use data

• Create accounts, authenticate users, and manage profiles.
• Save quiz progress, results, rewards, and provide gameplay features.
• Deliver service notifications and messages selected by the user.
• Process purchases, prevent fraud, secure the service, and provide support.
• Measure performance, diagnose failures, and improve content.
• Display advertising under the age and consent settings below.

3. Service providers and sharing

We do not sell personal data. Providers necessary to operate the app may process data on our behalf, including:

• Google Firebase: Authentication, Cloud Messaging, Firestore, and Analytics.
• Google AdMob: ad delivery and measurement with child-directed treatment and general-audience ad content.
• Google Play Billing and Apple App Store: purchase processing and transaction verification.
• Our hosting provider: Al Maydan servers, databases, and security logs.

We may disclose data where required by law or necessary to protect users and the service. Each provider is also governed by its own terms and privacy policy.

4. Children, families, and ads

Children may use the app with parental or guardian consent. The current release configures AdMob requests for child-directed treatment, limits ad content to a general-audience rating, and does not request the legacy Android advertising ID or advertising Topics/Attribution permissions. We do not use personalized advertising for children or users of unknown age. A guardian should contact us if they believe a child provided data without appropriate consent.

5. Retention and security

We retain account data while the account is active or as needed to provide the service. On deletion, we remove the account and associated data. Limited records may be retained only where required by law or necessary for security and fraud prevention, then deleted when that purpose expires. We use HTTPS, access controls, and protected databases, although no electronic system is completely secure.

6. Your rights and choices

You may request access, correction, or deletion, change advertising preferences where available, and disable notifications in device settings. Delete an account in the app under Profile → Delete account. Outside the app, use the Al Maydan account-deletion page or email contact@hassoud.com. Never send your password or verification code.

7. Transfers, changes, and contact

The providers above may process data in other countries under their contractual and security safeguards. We will update the date above and provide appropriate notice for material changes. Questions or complaints: contact@hassoud.com, +971 54 597 5594, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
