Privacy Policy
Wathīqah respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use and protect it, and your rights.

Google API Services
We use Google OAuth 2.0 to authenticate users and, where you explicitly opt in, to access limited Google user data in accordance with the Google API Services User Data Policy (including the Limited Use requirements).
Authorization Scopes
- openid, email, profile: Authenticate and obtain your basic profile and email address.
- Optional (contacts.readonly): If you choose to import contacts, we may request read‑only access to your Google contacts via the People API.
Handling of Google Data
- We request only the minimum scopes necessary and only after your explicit consent.
- We use Google data solely to provide requested features (e.g., sign‑in, optional contact import) and do not sell or transfer Google user data to third parties except as required to provide the service or by law.
- Access tokens and refresh tokens are secured and never used for advertising.
- You may revoke access at any time via your Google Account permissions page.
We comply with Google API Terms of Service and the Google API Services User Data Policy. We do not allow humans to read Google user data unless: (i) you explicitly consent, (ii) it’s necessary for security or fraud prevention, or (iii) required by law.

- You may request deletion or export of your data at any time via the in‑app settings or by contacting us.
Security Measures

Cookies & Tracking
We use strictly necessary cookies and local storage to maintain authentication, preferences, and session integrity. We do not use cookies for targeted advertising. If analytics are enabled, they operate with privacy‑preserving settings.
Your Rights & Compliance
