What the app stores, and where

• The names you type (for example "Ahmed" or "Land Cruiser") and the dates you save.
• They are stored only on your device. There is no MIQAT account and no cloud copy.
• Deleting the app, or "Delete all data" in More, removes everything.
• Your phone's own backup (iCloud or Google) may include the app's data, under your account and your settings.

Scanning documents

• When you scan or import a passport, Emirates ID, Mulkiya, contract, bill or any other document, the photo or PDF is read on your phone. The file is never uploaded anywhere.
• When you save the result, the file is kept on your phone in the app's private storage (the Documents tab) next to the record it filled, with a small thumbnail. The dates and the name are saved with the record. Delete the document, the record or the app to remove it.
• Passport and Emirates ID numbers on a scanned document are used only to check the dates and are not saved.
• Business mode: a staff list you import (Excel or CSV) keeps each employee's passport and Emirates ID number with their record, so the next import updates the same person instead of adding them twice. Delete the employee to remove them.

Camera, photos, Face ID and notifications

• Camera / photos: only when you tap "Take photo" or "From photos", to read a document.
• Face ID / passcode: only if you turn on the lock. The check is done by your phone; MIQAT never sees your face or passcode.
• Notifications: reminders are scheduled on your phone. Nothing is sent from a server.

What we never do

• No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, no third-party SDKs that collect data.
• We don't sell or share data, because we don't have any.

Your documents

If you add a photo or PDF of a document, the file is kept in the app's private storage on your phone (included in your phone's own iCloud or Google backup). It is never uploaded to us. "Share a copy" opens your phone's share sheet; what you send and to whom is your choice. Deleting the document, the record, all data in Settings, or the app removes the file. A backup file ("Back up my dates") holds your names and dates only: no documents and no pictures of them.

Your calendar

"Add to my calendar" is off until you turn it on. When on, MIQAT writes each date into your phone's calendar with a 7-day alert and updates or removes those events when you change the date. MIQAT does not read your other calendar events.

Sharing your list

"Share this list" creates one file with your names and dates (never your documents; in Business mode also the employee ID numbers from an imported list) and hands it to the share sheet. It goes only where you send it. Anyone who opens it in MIQAT sees the same list. Each file carries a checksum so a changed file is refused.

Subscriptions

MIQAT Family is billed by Apple or Google under your own store account. They handle your payment details; we never see them, and the app only asks the store whether a subscription is active. You can cancel any time in your Apple or Google Play subscription settings.

When you contact us

If you tap "Email us" or "WhatsApp us", your email or WhatsApp app opens with your list of dates. Nothing is sent unless you press send. We use what you send only to reply and, if you sign up, to track your dates for you. Ask us any time to delete it.
