We do not request precise location permission from the device.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our legitimate interests.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including countries where we or our service providers operate. Where required, we take appropriate steps to ensure that such transfers are carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

11. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, or data portability.

You may also be able to control certain permissions directly through your device settings. Because our app does not request location permission for core functionality and does not use advertising permissions, those controls may be limited to basic device and account settings.

Account Deletion and Access Requests

If you have created an account, you may request account deletion in accordance with the features provided in the app and by contacting us at qahwatv_register@qahwatv.com. You may also contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests, and we may retain limited information where required by law, security needs, fraud prevention, or legitimate recordkeeping obligations.

For apps distributed through Google Play or other app stores, our app may collect and process account information, email address, Google sign-in information, and device identifiers as needed to support registration, login, authentication, account security, and account management.

Our app uses Firebase Authentication for Google Sign-In and authentication support. Our app does not use advertising SDKs, does not use attribution SDKs, does not request location permission, and does not use Firebase Analytics or Crashlytics based on the current configuration. If app functionality changes in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

13. California Privacy Notice
