Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to ضاد (Daad), the Arabic keyboard and proofreader for iPhone and iPad, including its keyboard and its «دقّق مع ضاد» share extension. ضاد checks your writing entirely on your device. We do not collect personal data, we have no servers that receive your text, and there is no account.

keyboard The Keyboard and What You Type
To suggest corrections, the ضاد keyboard reads the text around your cursor on your device only. It does not send keystrokes or text anywhere, does not keep a log of what you type, and nothing you type is used to train any model.
- arrow_forward Full Access is optional. The keyboard works fully without it. If you turn it on, it is used only for haptic feedback and to let the keyboard save the words you add to your dictionary and your weekly counters, on your device. The keyboard makes no network connections either way.
- arrow_forward Weekly stats are counters only (for example, how many hamza fixes this week). They never contain your text.
- arrow_forward Recent checks: the app keeps the last 20 texts you checked in its editor, on your device, so you can reopen them. You can delete them one by one or all at once.
contacts Contacts (Optional)
If you tap «استيراد أسماء جهات الاتصال» in the dictionary and allow access, ضاد reads the first and last names of your contacts, on your device, and adds the Arabic ones to your personal dictionary so they are never "corrected". No other contact details are read, and names are not sent to us. You can decline, and you can remove any word from your dictionary at any time.
cloud iCloud Dictionary Sync (Pro)
With ضاد Pro, your personal dictionary syncs between your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud account (iCloud key-value storage). Apple stores it under Apple's privacy policy; a2ra-ms cannot access it. Sync can be turned off by disabling iCloud for ضاد in iOS Settings.
auto_awesome On-Device AI: Grammar Check and Tashkeel
The grammar check and tashkeel (Pro) use AI models that run on your device. Your text is not sent to any AI service.
- info The grammar model is downloaded once from Apple's servers (an Apple-hosted asset pack, about 530 MB). The download contains no information about you or your text.
- info Suggestions from these models can be wrong. Review them before relying on them; nothing is applied unless you accept it.
- info The grammar model is derived from Google's Gemma. Gemma is provided under and subject to the Gemma Terms of Use found at ai.google.dev/gemma/terms.
shopping_bag Purchases
ضاد Pro and its free 7-day trial are handled by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your payment details or Apple ID; the app only learns from Apple whether Pro is active.
family_restroom Children
ضاد collects no data from anyone, including children.
update Changes to This Policy
If a future version changes how ضاد handles data, we will update this page and tell you in the app before the change takes effect.
