Privacy Policy for "Qadiati" App

Last Updated: October 2026 | Version: 11.0.0

Welcome to Qadiati. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your information within our platform for lawyers and clients, in full compliance with standard app marketplace data security requirements.

1. Information We Collect

When you register a new account (either as a Lawyer or a Client) or use the app, we collect:

• Basic Account Data: Full Name, Phone Number, Country and Country Calling Code, Address, and Password (fully encrypted).
• IP Address & Coarse Location: We process your device’s IP address automatically upon server connection solely to detect your country and set the default dial code during signup, without tracking precise GPS location.
• Profile Picture (Optional): A profile photo uploaded optionally by you to personalize your account.
• Device Identifiers & Technical Info: We collect unique device identifiers (ANDROID_ID / UUID), device model, manufacturer, and OS version solely for account authentication, session management, and security purposes.
• Documents & Files (Scoped & Safe Access): The app does NOT request or use broad storage permissions or device media read access. Attaching files, documents, or chat media is handled strictly and optionally via the native System File Picker (Storage Access Framework) and secure FileProvider.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create, manage, and secure lawyer and client accounts and verify device integrity.
• To format phone numbers and automatically select the default country code during account registration for better user experience.
• To facilitate direct communication and legal case management.
• To send push notifications and local alerts regarding case updates, hearing schedules, and direct messages.
• To perform scheduled background synchronization to ensure upcoming hearing alerts are up to date.
• To enable external communications through your device's native capabilities (such as placing calls, launching email clients, or opening secure web links).

3. Background Services & Notifications

• Background Sync & Boot Handling (Workmanager & BOOT_COMPLETED): The app periodically syncs hearing schedules in the background and reschedules local notification timers automatically when your device reboots, ensuring critical hearing alerts are never missed.
• Chat Notifications & Quick Reply: The app requests notification permissions (POST_NOTIFICATIONS) to display real-time chat and hearing alerts, allowing you to use the "Quick Reply" feature directly from the notification shade.

4. Third-Party Services & Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties or advertising networks. We utilize Google Firebase Services strictly for secure authentication, encrypted cloud database operations, and notification delivery.

5. Data Security & Encryption

We implement strict security measures. All data transmissions are encrypted via HTTPS/TLS, and sensitive local session data is secured on the device using advanced encryption mechanisms (FlutterSecureStorage / EncryptedSharedPreferences).

6. Account & Data Deletion

We provide users with full control over their account and personal data:

• In-App Direct Deletion: Any user (lawyer or client) can permanently delete their account and all associated personal data directly from within the application. Navigate to the "Profile" (or "My Account") section and tap "Delete Account".
• Data Purging: Upon confirming deletion, all associated user data, documents, and records are permanently removed from our active databases and servers.
• Email Request: Users can also request complete account deletion or ask privacy questions by contacting us at the support email provided below.
