Privacy Policy

English

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Salaty - صلاتي ("Salaty", "the app") handles information when you use the app. Salaty is developed and published by GFM Group.

Salaty is designed as a private, prayer-and-gratitude companion. Most app content is stored locally on your device. If you choose to use the optional Google Drive backup feature, backup data is transferred to Google Drive only for backup and restore purposes.

2. Information you provide

Depending on how you use Salaty, the app may process information that you enter, including:

• Prayers, gratitude entries, spiritual reflections, and related journal content.
• App preferences and settings, such as language and display preferences.
• Backup files and backup metadata when you explicitly enable or use Google Drive backup.

Salaty does not require you to create a separate Salaty account. If you connect Google Drive, Google account authorization is used only to enable the backup and restore feature; it does not create a separate account with GFM Group.

3. How we use information

Information processed by Salaty is used only to provide and support app functionality, including:

• Saving and displaying your prayers, gratitude entries, reflections, and history.
• Remembering your app preferences.
• Creating, discovering, restoring, and managing your optional backups.
• Maintaining the reliability and security of app features.

4. Local storage

Your primary Salaty content is stored locally on your device in the app's private storage. This data generally remains on the device until you delete it, clear the app's data, or uninstall the app, subject to Android's normal device and backup behavior.

5. Optional Google Drive backup

Salaty offers an optional backup and restore feature using Google Drive. This feature is activated only when you choose to connect your Google account and use backup or restore.

Salaty uses Google authorization to access the app-specific backup area associated with Salaty. The purpose of this access is to store and retrieve Salaty backup data. Salaty does not use Google Drive access to browse or use your unrelated personal Drive files.

6. Sharing of information

GFM Group does not sell your Salaty content or personal information.

Information may be processed by service providers only when necessary to provide a feature you choose to use. In particular, when you use Google Drive backup, Google processes data as necessary to provide Google account authorization and Drive storage services, subject to Google's own terms and privacy practices.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the app's design. Salaty stores primary app data in Android app-private storage and uses platform-provided authentication and secure network connections when communicating with Google services. No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

8. Data retention and deletion

Locally stored content remains on your device until you delete it, clear the app's data, or uninstall the app. Optional Google Drive backup data may remain in the app-specific Google Drive storage until it is replaced or deleted through available app or Google account controls.

Because Salaty does not create a separate account with GFM Group, there is no separate Salaty account to delete. Disconnecting Google Drive or revoking access stops future access by the app, but does not necessarily delete backup data that already exists in your Google account. You can manage connected apps and stored app data through your Google account and Google Drive settings.

9. Permissions and device access

Salaty only uses permissions and device capabilities that are needed for its features. Android may ask you to approve permissions or Google account access before a related feature is used. You can manage permissions through Android settings and revoke Google account access through your Google account settings.

10. Children's privacy

Salaty is a general-purpose spiritual and personal journaling app. We do not knowingly use the app to sell children's personal information or for behavioral advertising. Parents or guardians should supervise use by children where appropriate.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the app, applicable law, or our data practices change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
