1. Introduction
Welcome to the Qatar History & Culture mobile application (the "App"), developed by Ravanar. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle any information when you download, install, and use our App.
By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Data Collection & Use
Offline-First Architecture: The App is designed as an offline-first learning resource. We do not collect or store any personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, physical address, or phone number) directly on our servers while you browse the historical timelines, rulers, or cultural landmarks.
Local Preferences: The App saves user preferences, such as language toggles (English or Arabic) and theme preferences (Light or Dark mode), locally on your device via shared storage. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to us.
3. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob)
The App displays banner advertisements powered by Google AdMob to support maintenance and operational updates. While we do not collect personal information, AdMob may access certain device identifiers to serve contextual or personalized ads.
Google AdMob may collect and process:
- IP addresses (used to determine general country/city locations).
- Mobile advertising identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID or iOS IDFA).
- Device model, manufacturer, operating system version, and system language settings.
- App performance logs and diagnostic statistics.
For more details on how Google processes this data, please review the Google Privacy Policy & Terms.
4. Device Permissions
To provide all intended features, the App requires the following device permissions:
- Internet Access: Required to query and display banner advertisements from Google AdMob servers.
- Network State Access: Allows the App to monitor whether a connection is active, optimizing ad loading attempts.
5. Children's Privacy
The App provides educational content suitable for general audiences, including children interested in Qatari history. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal details, please contact us so we can take immediate action.
6. Your Choices & Rights

- Android: Go to Settings > Privacy > Ads, and choose to "Reset advertising ID" or "Opt out of Ads Personalization".
