Privacy Policy

Short version

We collect no personal information. We do not require an account. We do not track you across sites. We do not sell data. The tool works offline: your text never leaves your device except to be transliterated by our server (and we do not log it).

Data stored in your browser (localStorage)

• kateb_input: your last typed Arabizi text, to restore your session when you navigate back.
• kateb_edited: any manual edits you made to the Arabic output.
• kateb_weights: a map of which Arabic spellings you preferred for each Latin word, used to personalise suggestions. Stays on your device.

All of this data stays in your browser. You can clear it at any time via your browser settings or by pressing Clear on the main page.

Community learning (server-side)

When you click a suggestion chip to correct a spelling, the pair of (Latin word, chosen Arabic word) is sent to our server and stored in a database. For example: ("habibi", "حبيبي"). This is used to improve results for all users.

We store no personal identifier alongside these pairs. They are fully anonymous. We never store the full text you type.

Third-party links

The Google Search, Google Translate, WhatsApp, and Dictionary buttons open external websites in a new tab. Once you leave bel3arabe.com, their own privacy policies apply. We do not share data with them.

Analytics

We currently do not use any third-party analytics or advertising. If this changes we will update this policy and add a notice on the site.
