Privacy Policy for Nafs App

Last Updated: 7 August 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Nafs. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information. Nafs is a digital wellbeing app designed to help users block specific keywords, websites, and inappropriate content. The application supports three languages: English, Arabic, and Kurdish (Sorani).

Permissions and Data Usage

To provide its core functionality, Nafs requires specific device permissions. Within the app, we provide detailed video and image tutorials explaining exactly how to activate these permissions and why they are strictly necessary for the app to function.

• Accessibility Service API: Nafs uses the Accessibility Service API to read and monitor the content (text and visuals) displayed on your screen. This allows the app to detect and block predefined prohibited words, URLs, or inappropriate short videos in real-time. We only scan the screen to match against our blocked lists. We do not record, store, or share your personal chats, passwords, or private messages.
• On-Device Image Analysis (Offline AI): To detect inappropriate visual content, the app captures your screen momentarily. This process is conducted 100% offline on your device using built-in Artificial Intelligence (Offline AI). Images and videos are never saved to your device, never transmitted to the internet, and never shared with any third party. The screen capture exists only for a fraction of a second in your device's memory for analysis and is immediately discarded.
• Device Administrator Permission (BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN): Nafs requires Device Administrator privileges to protect itself from being bypassed, force-stopped, or uninstalled without authorization. To ensure strict self-discipline, Nafs includes a built-in lock feature. If the user enables this lock, the Device Administrator permission cannot be turned off without providing the correct password.

Data Collection

The app operates completely locally on your device for content analysis. However, solely to improve our blocking accuracy and maintain app performance, the app may send anonymous logs containing only 3 specific pieces of information:

1. The specific blocked word or URL triggered.
2. The package name of the app where the block occurred.
3. The exact time the block occurred.

This data is associated with a randomly generated device identifier used only to distinguish separate logs from one another. This identifier is not linked to your name, email, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information. Data is never used for advertising, marketing, or sales purposes.

Data Retention

We retain collected logs only for as long as necessary to improve the app, investigate issues, and maintain the service. When no longer needed, the data is deleted.

Data Deletion

Users may request deletion of any associated log data by contacting us at dastanmoom1111@gmail.com. We will process deletion requests within a reasonable period.
