Overview

Darija Translator is a language-learning and translation app that offers dictionary content, learning modules, AI-assisted translation, optional text-to-speech, phrase tools, quizzes, and camera or voice input features. This Privacy Policy describes how information is handled when you use the app.

By using the app, you acknowledge that certain features rely on device permissions, remote AI services, app-store purchase systems, and Firebase-hosted learning content.

Data We Collect

Information you provide in the app

  • Text you type or submit for translation, chat, or language practice.
  • Text extracted from images when you use camera translation or OCR features.
  • Optional support emails you send to contact@bouiz.com.

Information stored locally on your device

  • Theme preference, premium status flags, usage counters, and selected voice preferences.
  • Locally cached lesson content and locally stored learning progress.
  • Any locally stored configuration values the app may allow on your device.

Purchase-related information

  • Purchase and restore status returned by Apple App Store or Google Play.
  • We do not directly process your full payment card details inside the app.

How We Use Data

  • To provide translations, language-learning tools, quizzes, phrase content, and pronunciation-related features.
  • To generate AI-based translations, chat responses, or speech output when those features are used.
  • To cache lesson content and save local progress for a smoother user experience.
  • To verify premium access and restore purchases where applicable.
  • To respond to support requests or maintain the service.

Permissions and Device Features

Microphone

Used for speech input when you choose voice-based translation or pronunciation features.

Camera

Used when you capture text for OCR or camera translation workflows.

Photos or storage access

May be used when you choose images from your device for text extraction or related app functionality.

Audio output

Used to play pronunciation or generated audio inside the app.

You can manage permissions through your device settings. If you deny a permission, related features may stop working.

Third-Party Services

The current Darija Translator build uses or relies on the following types of third-party services:

  • OpenAI APIs for certain translation, chat, and text-to-speech features.
  • Firebase services for app configuration, hosted lesson content, and stored learning assets.
  • Apple App Store and Google Play for in-app purchases, billing, and restore flows.
  • Device or platform speech-recognition services when microphone input is used.
  • System-level review, sharing, email, and external link actions when you trigger those features.

When you use remote AI features, the text you submit and any text extracted from images may be transmitted to those remote services to generate a result. Third-party providers handle their own processing under their own terms and privacy policies.

AI, Voice, and Camera Features

  • Typed text may be sent to remote AI services when translation or chat features require it.
  • Camera-captured images are used to extract text; extracted text may then be translated or processed by remote AI features.
  • Voice features may rely on device speech-recognition systems and optional remote audio-generation services.
  • If you use the watch companion experience, content may be relayed between your watch and phone to fulfill translation features.

Retention, Security, and Your Controls

  • Locally cached lessons, progress, and preferences generally remain on your device until you clear app data or uninstall the app.
  • Support emails remain available to us for support and record-keeping purposes unless deletion is legally required or operationally necessary.
  • We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no system is completely secure.
  • You can revoke permissions, uninstall the app, or clear device app storage to remove locally stored data.

Children and International Use

Darija Translator is intended as a general-audience educational tool and is not knowingly designed to collect personal data from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe personal data from a child has been provided through the app, contact us so we can review the request.

Because some app features rely on remote service providers, your data may be processed in countries other than your own depending on the provider and your device platform.
