Privacy Policy for Chriki

DISCLAIMER:
Chriki is an independent private app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing any Algerian government entity or public administration.Government-related information provided in the app is sourced from official public websites where available.
This Privacy Policy explains how Chriki ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our mobile application. Our priority is to build a "partner" you can trust, which starts with being transparent about your data.---1. Information Collection
At this stage of development, Chriki does not collect any personal identification information (such as your name, phone number, address, or government ID details).We only collect Usage Data. This is non-identifying information that helps us understand how the app is performing. This includes:
* Technical Information: Device type, operating system version, and app version.
* Interaction Data: Which features you use most (e.g., how often Tariqi is accessed vs. Chriki AI) and "crash reports" to help us fix bugs.### 2. How We Use Your Data
The limited usage data we collect is used strictly to:
* Improve Functionality: To see which transport routes in Tariqi are most searched so we can improve accuracy.
* Optimize AI Performance: To refine how Chriki AI responds to common Algerian administrative or educational queries.
* Ensure Stability: To identify and repair technical glitches or slow loading times.### 3. Data Storage and Local Processing
For features like Awraqi (أوراقي), any personal data you enter to auto-fill documents is stored locally on your device. We do not upload your sensitive government documents or personal identity details to our servers. Your data stays in your pocket.### 4. Third-Party Services
We may use basic analytics tools (like Google Analytics for Firebase) to track the "Usage Data" mentioned in Section 1. These tools do not give us access to your personal files or private conversations with the AI.### 5. Security
We value your trust. Even though we collect minimal data, we use industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect the integrity of the application.### 6. Changes to This Policy
As Chriki grows from a vision into a "Super App," we may update this policy to reflect new features (like user accounts). We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the app.---OFFICIAL INFORMATION SOURCES• Ministry of Interior and Local Authorities:
