Welcome to Sa3erha سعّرها ("the App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.
By downloading, installing, or using Sa3erha سعّرها , you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
Device Identifier: We generate a random, anonymous device identifier to distinguish users for analytics purposes. This identifier is not linked to your name, email, or any personal account and cannot be used to identify you personally.
Location Data: With your permission, we collect your device's GPS location to show you nearby stores and relevant deals in your area. Your location is used to calculate distance to stores and to filter content by city. We do not continuously track your location in the background; location is accessed only when you are actively using the App.
Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with the App, including: flyer views and time spent on flyers, search queries, items you clip to your shopping list, items you share, lists you share, session duration, and screen views.
Advertisement Interaction: We record when banner advertisements are displayed to you (impressions) and when you tap on them (clicks), including which items were clipped or shared as a result of viewing an advertisement.
How You Found the App: When you first open the App, it reads the install referrer provided by Google Play (on Android) and, where present, by Meta, which tells us which link, campaign, or advertisement led to the installation. To read the Meta referrer, the App checks whether the Facebook, Facebook Lite, or Instagram app is installed on your device; it does not read or collect a list of your other apps. These values identify a campaign, not a person. They are sent to our own servers and stored with your anonymous device identifier, so we can measure which of our marketing efforts work.
Account Information (Optional): You may choose to create an account using one of the following methods: phone number with OTP verification, Apple Sign-In, or Google Sign-In. When you register, we collect the information provided by the authentication method you choose, which may include your phone number, name, and email address as provided by Apple or Google.
Shopping List: Items you add to your shopping list are initially stored locally on your device. If you create an account, your shopping list data is synced to our servers so you can access it across multiple devices. Custom items you add to your list are also stored.
Search Queries: Your search terms are collected anonymously to improve our search functionality and understand popular product interests.
We do not collect payment information, contacts, photos, calendar data, microphone or camera access, health data, or browsing history outside the App. Account registration is optional and the App can be used without creating an account.
To Provide the Service: Displaying relevant flyers and deals based on your location, showing nearby stores, and enabling your shopping list across devices.
To Improve the App: Analyzing usage patterns, popular searches, engagement metrics, and time spent on content to enhance features and user experience.
To Serve Advertisements: Displaying banner advertisements within the App. In-app advertisements may be targeted based on your city location only; we do not build behavioral profiles to choose which in-app advertisements you see.
To Measure Our Own Marketing: We advertise the App on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram). To learn whether those advertisements lead people to install and use the App, we use the Meta SDK as described under Third-Party Data Sharing.
To Measure Ad Effectiveness: Tracking whether users who view advertisements subsequently clip or share items, to provide performance reports to advertisers.
To Generate Aggregated Insights: We create anonymized, aggregated reports (e.g., total flyer views, popular product categories, store engagement) that may be shared with retail store partners. These reports never identify individual users.
To Communicate With You: If you have registered an account, we may use your contact information to send important service-related notices. We do not send marketing communications without your explicit consent.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Specifically:
Our Own Analytics: The usage data described above (flyer views, searches, list activity, and sessions) is processed only by our own systems hosted on our servers. It is not sent to Meta or to any other third party.
Meta (Facebook) SDK: The App includes the Meta SDK, provided by Meta Platforms, to measure the results of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. The SDK sends Meta a limited set of events: that the App was installed, that it was opened, and a single event when you first browse a number of products (an "activation" event, with the part of the App you used, such as search or categories). It does not send the products you view, your searches, your shopping list, your location, or your account details. With these events the SDK sends a device identifier (on Android, your device's advertising ID; on iPhone, the advertising identifier only if you allow tracking, otherwise an identifier generated for the App), basic technical details about your device and the App (such as device model, operating system version, App version, language, and time zone), and, as with any internet connection, your IP address. If the SDK itself crashes, it may send Meta a crash report that contains no personal data. Meta processes this data under its own Privacy Policy (facebook.com/privacy/policy) and may use it to measure and improve advertising, including across other apps and services.
No Third-Party Ad Networks Inside the App: All advertisements shown in the App are managed directly by us. We do not use Google AdMob, Facebook Audience Network, or any other third-party ad SDK to show advertisements in the App.
Authentication Providers: If you choose to sign in with Apple or Google, the authentication process is handled by the respective provider. We receive only the information you authorize (such as name and email). We do not share your App usage data back with these providers.
Aggregated Data for Partners: We may share anonymized, aggregated analytics reports with retail store partners (e.g., "Your flyer received 5,000 views this week"). These reports contain no data that could identify any individual user.
Hosting Provider: Our servers and database are hosted on DigitalOcean infrastructure. DigitalOcean processes data on our behalf as a data processor and is contractually bound to protect your data.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
For users without an account, shopping list data is stored locally on your device only. For registered users, account information and shopping list data are stored on secure servers provided by DigitalOcean, located in Frankfurt, Germany. Analytics data is stored on the same secure infrastructure.
We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure database access controls, hashed and salted credentials where applicable, and regular security reviews to protect your data.
We retain data for the minimum period necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy:
Account Data: Retained for as long as your account is active. Upon account deletion, your personal data is deleted within 30 days.
Analytics Events: Retained for up to 24 months for trend analysis, then automatically deleted or anonymized.
Advertisement Data: Impression and click records are retained for the duration of the advertising campaign plus 12 months for reporting purposes.
Install Source Records: Retained together with analytics events, for up to 24 months.
Data Received by Meta: Retained by Meta under its own data policy.
Shopping List (Local): Stored on your device until you clear the App's data or uninstall. You have full control over this data.
Shopping List (Synced): For registered users, retained on our servers as long as your account is active. Deleted upon account deletion request.
You can deny or revoke location permission at any time through your device's settings. The App will continue to work but will default to manual city selection and will not show distance to stores.
On iPhone: If you agree on the App's consent screen, the App then shows Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", your advertising identifier is not shared with Meta. Meta may still receive the limited events described above without that identifier, and uses them only in aggregated, de-identified form to measure the results of ads. You can change your choice at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
On Android: You can delete or reset your advertising ID in your device settings (Settings > Google > Ads, or Settings > Privacy > Ads, depending on your device). Once it is deleted, apps, including the Meta SDK, can no longer read it.
In-App Consent: Before the Meta SDK starts, the App asks for your consent (in Jordan, and in other countries where consent is required). If you choose "Not now", the SDK is not started and no events are sent to Meta. If you agree and later change your mind, you can stop your advertising identifier from being shared using your device settings as described above, or contact us at [email protected].
With Meta: If you have a Facebook or Instagram account, you can review and disconnect the activity that apps share with Meta under "Your activity off Meta technologies" in your account settings.
If you have an account, you may delete your account and all your data through the account deletion option in your Account settings.
If you do not have an account, the data we hold about your device (analytics events and install source records) is linked only to a random identifier, not to your name. To have it deleted, email us at [email protected]. We will reply to help identify your device's data and delete it within 30 days of identifying it. Uninstalling the App stops any further collection.
Your data may be processed and stored on servers located outside your country of residence, specifically in Frankfurt, Germany. By using the App, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data in these locations. We ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data regardless of where it is processed. Data sent to Meta by the Meta SDK is processed by Meta Platforms, including in the United States, under Meta's own Privacy Policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy within the App and updating the "Last Updated" date. For registered users, we may also notify you via email for significant changes. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
