Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1 — Processing your files

Everything Warraq does — reading, searching, annotating, text and image editing, merging, splitting, compressing, OCR, password protection and removal, signing, watermarking and every other tool — runs entirely on your device. Your files and their contents are never sent to our servers or to any third party, and we have no way to access them.

2 — Your account (entirely optional)

Every Warraq tool — reading, editing, and all fourteen tools — works without any account. Signing in (via Google or Apple only; we never manage a password ourselves) is completely optional, and is only needed to activate the free AI trial or to sync your points balance across your devices.

If you do sign in, we keep only the minimum: your account identifier and email as received from your sign-in provider, and your points balance. We never collect your real name, contacts, or location, whether you sign in or not.

You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time — see the account deletion page for steps. If you never signed in, you have no account in the first place; uninstalling the app removes everything local instantly.

3 — The points system

Processing tools are unlocked with points that are granted for free and refill monthly. Your balance lives on your device. To prevent abuse of the points system (farming an endless balance by reinstalling or by spoofing devices), the app sends our server a hashed technical device signature together with an integrity verdict from Google Play Integrity. That signature:

• is a hashed value that cannot be reversed into your identity or your device's serial number;
• is not linked to a name, email or account — none of those exist in the first place;
• is never linked to the advertising ID or to any advertising data — the two systems are entirely separate and are never joined on our side.

4 — Advertising (optional)

Warraq is free, with no subscriptions and no in-app purchases. It is funded by an optional rewarded ad from Google AdMob. There are no interstitial ads, no app-open ads, and no ads inside the reading screen. An ad is offered only when you ask for a tool and your balance is short — and you are always free to decline it.

• When an ad is shown, Google and its ad partners may use your device's advertising ID, IP address and basic device information to select and measure ads and to prevent fraud. Details are in Google's policy for partner sites and apps.
• You can reset or delete your advertising ID at any time in Android settings (Settings → Google → Ads).
• If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, an ad consent screen appears on first launch, and you can change your choice later under Settings → Ad privacy options.
• When you finish watching an ad, AdMob notifies our server directly to confirm the reward (server-side verification). That message carries only a reward identifier and the hashed signature — never your identity.

5 — Usage measurement (anonymous analytics)

We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand how the app is used: which screens are opened, where people stop, and whether the monthly points grant is enough or runs out too fast. This measurement never touches your files or their contents in any way.

What we log are anonymous events about the app itself, such as:

• completing or skipping the first-run welcome screen;
• points being granted and monthly refills, and points spent on a tool (tool name and amount only);
• running out of points at a particular tool — which is what tells us how generous the monthly grant should be;
• a rewarded ad being offered, watched to the end, dismissed, or failing to load;
• tapping the AI button or asking to be notified at launch — so we know whether the feature is wanted at all;
• once paid packages are enabled in the future: opening the plans screen and completing a purchase (tier, billing period and product identifier) — never any payment details, which stay entirely with the store.

Google automatically attaches to these events a pseudonymous app instance ID, your device model, OS version, app version, and an approximate country derived from your IP address without storing the address itself.

What is never logged: any file name, path or content, your search text, your annotations, your name, your email, or your precise location. This measurement data is never linked to the hashed device signature (section 3) or to the advertising ID (section 4), and is never used to target ads at you. Uninstalling the app stops the collection and ends the pseudonymous identifier.

6 — AI feature (not active yet)

Warraq AI has not launched. Nothing from your documents is sent to any server in the current version, and the in-app introduction screen is entirely local. When the feature does launch, the text of the document you choose will be sent to a model provider for processing, and only after your explicit consent. We will update this policy before enabling it.

7 — Data stored on your device

Preferences (language, theme, output folder), annotations, recent file lists and libraries are all stored locally on your device. Uninstalling the app deletes them. Cloud backup of app data is deliberately disabled.

Files produced by the tools (merged, compressed and so on) are saved to the Warraq/Output or Downloads folder, whichever you choose. They remain yours alone: they are not removed when you uninstall the app, and they are never sent anywhere.

8 — File access permission

Warraq requests access to your device files (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on Android) for one purpose: to find the PDF files you already have and list them under "My Documents", and to save tool results where you ask. No file's contents are read unless you open it, and nothing from it is sent over the network.

9 — Children

Warraq is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect any data from them.

10 — Your rights

• If you have an account (optional), you can request its deletion and all associated data at any time — via the account deletion page.
• Without an account, we hold no personally identifying data in the first place.
• You can withdraw consent for personalised ads at any time from the app settings.
• You can reset or delete your advertising ID from your device settings.
• You can write to us with any question about your data at the address below.

11 — Changes to this policy

If we change this policy materially — in particular when the AI feature launches — we will tell you inside the app before the change takes effect.
