Privacy Policy — Maa jaamiati (ماء جمعيتي)

Last updated: 22 October 2026. Android app eduapptool.purewaterbilling. This is a full translation of the Arabic policy above; the two say the same thing.

1. Where your association's information is kept

The association chooses where its information is kept, step by step, as it needs.

• On your phone: subscriber records, meter readings and bills are kept on your phone, and the app works without internet.
• A copy in Google Drive: link the app to your Google Drive account. If your phone is lost or broken, install the app on another phone and restore everything.
• Sync through your own Firebase account: the app guides you step by step to create your Firebase database inside your own Google account. The information stays yours, in your account.
• Collectors and subscribers: once sync is on, each collector works from their own phone, and each subscriber views their bills online with the code you give them.

Decisions about subscribers — billing, collection and disconnection — belong to the association alone.

2. Why you need an account

To use the app you create a simple account made of:

• A username and password: to sign in to the app.
• An email address: so we can contact you about app updates.

3. Subscriber information in the app

Full name, meter number, address and phone number (both optional), meter readings and consumption, bills, payments, debts and advance payments. The association records this information itself, and it stays only in the places listed in section 1.

4. What the app asks of your Google account

The app asks for no permission on your Google account unless you choose backup or sync:

How the database is created:

• You tap «Create my database», and Google shows you its consent page.
• Once you agree, the app receives temporary access, which it uses to create the database in your account. This access is deleted within one hour at most.
• The app creates a service account in your project (PureWater Sync Auth) to sign in collectors and subscribers. It belongs to your project, and you can delete it at any time.

Information the app receives from Google is used only to provide these features, in accordance with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

5. Services the app uses

6. Advertising

The app is free thanks to advertising, which is shown to every user: the president, collectors and subscribers. A user may also choose to watch an ad in exchange for downloading a document. An association that subscribes to a paid period stops seeing ads for its president and collectors; subscribers still see them.

7. Detecting crashes

The app uses Google Firebase Analytics to detect and fix crashes and technical problems in the app. This information contains nothing from subscriber records.

8. Phone permissions

The app asks for one permission: notifications, so that association announcements and bill reminders arrive. Choosing a logo and saving bills go through the phone's file picker, with no extra permission.

9. Deleting information

• Stop sync: the app goes back to working on the phone only, and the database stays in your account as it is.
• Delete the database permanently: it is deleted from your Google account with everything in it, after you confirm on Google's page. This cannot be undone.
• Delete information from the phone: Settings → Advanced options → Factory reset.
• Delete your account: from inside the app: Settings → Delete account.

You can withdraw the permissions you granted the app at any time from myaccount.google.com/permissions.

10. Contact

Questions about a particular association's information should be sent to that association. Questions about the app: support@maajamiati.com
