Qalam Altalib is run from Saudi Arabia, but some of the services that make it work process data outside the Kingdom. These terms explain what is transferred, where, why and how it is protected, under the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and the Regulation on Personal Data Transfer outside the Kingdom.

Photos solved by Apple's on-device model, and your history, age group and settings, never leave your phone.
Legal basis
Transfers are made to provide the service you request, which cannot work without these providers.
Transfers rely on your explicit consent, given on the one-time consent screen at first launch, and on the safeguards permitted by the PDPL transfer regulation (contractual data-protection terms with each provider).
We do not transfer data in a way that harms national security or the vital interests of the Kingdom, and we transfer only the minimum needed.
Safeguards
Each provider is bound by data-processing terms (Supabase DPA, Anthropic commercial terms and DPA, Google Ads and Firebase data-processing terms) that include confidentiality, security and use-only-for-the-service obligations.
TLS encryption in transit; encryption at rest at the providers.
No names, emails, phone numbers or account data are collected or transferred.
Photos are not stored on our server; Anthropic does not use API data to train its models.
Locked database (deny-all RLS) and server-side keys — see the Security page.
Minimal data
We send only what each service needs: the cropped photo and text for a solve, a random ID for counting, and a token for notifications. Children's ad requests are child-directed and non-personalised.
Your choices
You can decline the consent screen; the app will then not send questions to the server (on-device solving may still work for simple English questions).
You can withdraw consent at any time: Settings → Delete my account & data, and turn off notifications.
