How ApliNews collects, uses, and protects your information.
Last updated: 18 June 2026
Effective date: 18 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Aplitiq Ltd ("Aplitiq," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information in connection with the ApliNews mobile application (the "App"). ApliNews is a news aggregation service that surfaces summaries and headlines of third-party news content and links users to original publisher websites.
We are committed to handling your information responsibly and transparently. Please read this Policy carefully. By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.
Key point: ApliNews does not require you to create an account. Each installation is identified only by an anonymous, randomly generated device identifier. We do not knowingly collect your name, email address, or phone number through the App itself.
Aplitiq Ltd is the data controller responsible for the App. You can reach us at:

When you use ApliNews, the following categories of information are collected automatically through our infrastructure providers (principally Google Firebase and Google AdMob):
We do not require or request your name, email address, phone number, government ID, or payment card details through the App. We do not ask for or knowingly collect precise GPS location — only the approximate, IP-derived location used for analytics and content relevance described above.
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
Where required by applicable law, we rely on the following legal grounds to process your information:
ApliNews is currently directed primarily at users in Morocco, with other countries to be enabled progressively. The App does not knowingly target or market itself to users located in the European Union / European Economic Area, and EU/EEA users are not currently within the App's intended audience. If this changes, this Policy will be updated accordingly, including with respect to GDPR-specific rights and mechanisms.
We rely on the following categories of third-party providers to operate ApliNews. These providers process data under their own privacy policies and, where applicable, as our data processors:
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not share your information with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.
We retain analytics and crash data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, consistent with the retention periods configured in Firebase (generally up to 14 months for analytics data, subject to our configuration and Google's defaults). Locally stored reading lists and bookmarks persist until you delete the App or clear its data, or until you delete individual saved items within the App.
ApliNews is not directed at children, and our intended minimum age for use of the App is 16 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under this age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a user below the applicable minimum age, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, or to object to certain processing. Because ApliNews does not collect directly identifying information and operates on an anonymous device-identifier basis, many such requests can be most effectively exercised through the in-app controls described below or by uninstalling the App, which removes the locally stored anonymous identifier and associated local data from your device.
You can also exercise control over your data in the following ways:
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information processed in connection with the App, including reliance on Google Firebase's security infrastructure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our service providers, including Google Firebase and Google AdMob, may process and store data on servers located in countries other than your own, including the United States and other jurisdictions where Google and its partners operate data centers. By using the App, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in such jurisdictions.
In accordance with Law No. 09-08 relating to the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data, and applicable regulations of the National Commission for the Control of Personal Data Protection (CNDP):
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the App's functionality, or applicable law. We will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this Policy when we do so, and, where changes are material, we will provide additional notice within the App where practicable. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
