What is Arabic Council?

Arabic Council is an Arabic-language iOS app that aggregates news, decisions, and legislative updates from parliaments and consultative councils across Arab countries.

Data We Collect

• Anonymous usage analytics: We use Firebase Analytics to understand how the app is used (screens viewed, articles read). This data is not linked to your personal identity.
• Advertising identifiers: We use Google AdMob to display ads to free-tier users. AdMob may collect your device's advertising identifier.
• Account data (optional): If you choose to create an account, we store your email address or Apple ID identifier.
• Preferences: Bookmarks and followed countries and topics.

Data We Do Not Collect

We do not collect: location data, contacts, health data, photos, or any financial data beyond subscription status.

Third-Party Services

• Firebase (Google): Authentication, database, analytics, push notifications
• Google AdMob: Ad serving (free-tier users only)
• Apple StoreKit: Subscription management

App Tracking Transparency (ATT)

The app will ask your permission before tracking your activity across other apps and websites. If you decline, ads will still appear but without personalization.

Account Deletion

You can delete your account from Settings within the app. Upon deletion, we will:

• Delete your authentication data
• Delete all bookmarks and preferences
• Permanently delete all data associated with your account

Note: Subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID and are not cancelled by deleting your account — you can cancel auto-renewal in your App Store settings.

Data Storage

Cloud data is stored on Google Cloud servers (Firebase). Locally cached data (saved articles) is stored on your device only.

Children's Privacy

This app is not directed at children under the age of 13.
