Privacy Policy

1Who we are

This policy applies to Maryland Driving Guide (Persian) (md.driver.learn). It is developed and published by Faiz A Dae, an independent developer based in Cockeysville, Maryland, United States, who trades as Topjow (topjow.org). On Google Play the developer profile name is WebJow; on the App Store the seller is shown as faizahmad dae. Topjow and WebJow are trading names only, not separate registered companies: Faiz A Dae is the natural person who is the data controller for the limited data described below, and is personally answerable for it.

You can reach us at any time at [email protected]. There is no cost and no form to fill in — a plain email is enough.

This policy is written to satisfy the Google Play User Data policy, Apple App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1, the EU/UK GDPR, the Swiss FADP, the California CCPA/CPRA and comparable US state laws, Brazil's LGPD, Canada's PIPEDA and the Australian Privacy Act.

2What data is involved

The table below is the complete list. It is written to match, line for line, the Google Play Data safety form and the Apple Privacy Nutrition Label for this app.

“Shared” has the store meaning: the data leaves our control and goes to another company. Data marked as staying on your device is never transmitted to us or to anyone else.

3What we never do

• We never sell your personal information, and we never share it for money.
• We never ask for your name, phone number, address, ID document or payment card.
• We never request GPS or precise location.
• The app does not request the Android or iOS permissions needed to read your SMS, call log, contacts, calendar or microphone — you can check this yourself in the app’s permission list.
• We never scan or upload your gallery in the background — only the items you pick, at the moment you pick them.
• We never build a profile about you from other companies' apps or websites.
• We never use your data to train artificial-intelligence models, and we never pass it to a third-party AI service.
• This app has no user account at all — no registration, no sign-in, no password.

4Why we use it, and our legal basis

If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, the GDPR requires us to name a legal basis for each purpose:

This app contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDK, so it collects nothing on the basis of consent.

5Third parties

These are the only companies that can receive data from the app. Each is bound by a contract or by platform terms to protect your data to at least the standard set out in this policy, and none of them is allowed to use it for anything beyond the purpose listed here.

We do not work with data brokers. We do not run any ad network, tracking pixel or social-media SDK beyond the ones listed above.

6International transfers

Google and Apple operate globally, so the small amount of data described above may be processed on servers in the United States, Ireland or elsewhere. Those transfers rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum and, where the recipient participates, the EU–US and UK–US Data Privacy Framework.

You may request a copy of the safeguards that apply by emailing [email protected].

7How long data is kept

Because the app keeps your content on your device rather than on a server, uninstalling the app permanently erases that content. Export or back up anything you want to keep first.

8How data is protected

• All network traffic uses HTTPS/TLS. The app does not accept plain-text connections.
• Content you create is stored in the app's private sandbox, which the operating system keeps unreadable by other apps.
• We hold no user database and no server-side accounts, which removes the single largest source of breach risk.
• Access to the Play Console, App Store Connect and Firebase is protected by two-factor authentication.

No system is perfectly secure. If a breach ever affected your data we would notify the competent supervisory authority within 72 hours where the law requires it, and notify affected users without undue delay.

9Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

• Access — get a copy of any data we hold about you.
• Correct — fix anything inaccurate.
• Delete — erase it (“right to be forgotten”).
• Restrict or object — including objecting to processing based on legitimate interests, and objecting to direct marketing at any time.
• Port — receive your data in a machine-readable format.
• Withdraw consent — at any time, without penalty.
• Not be subject to automated decision-making — we do not carry out any profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

Email [email protected] and tell us which right you want to use and which app you are using. We answer free of charge, normally within 30 days and in every case within the period the applicable law allows — one month under the GDPR, extendable by two further months for a complex request, and 45 days under the CCPA, extendable to 90. If we ever need an extension we will tell you why before the first deadline passes. We may ask one question to confirm the request comes from you or from someone authorised to act for you — no ID document is needed.

In most cases the honest answer will be that we hold nothing about you at all, because the app stores your content on your device. In that case we will say so plainly, and explain how to delete the on-device copy yourself — see the deletion page.

If you are unhappy with our response you may complain to your local data protection authority: in the EEA, the authority of your country of residence (list at edpb.europa.eu); in the UK, the ICO; in Switzerland, the FDPIC.

10US state privacy rights

If you live in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Florida or another US state with a comprehensive privacy law, you additionally have the right to know, delete, correct, obtain a portable copy, opt out of “sale”/“sharing” and targeted advertising, limit the use of sensitive personal information, and appeal a refusal. We will never discriminate against you for exercising any of them.

We do not sell personal information for money, and we have not done so in the preceding 12 months. We also do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16.

This app shows no advertising and passes no data to third parties for advertising, so there is nothing to “sell” or “share”.

Categories collected in the last 12 months, in CCPA terms: the content of your message (only if you write to us). We do not collect the categories of sensitive personal information that trigger the “limit the use” right.

11Children

This app is not enrolled in the Google Play “Designed for Families” programme and children are not its primary audience.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under the age of digital consent in your country, which is 16 in some EEA states). We do not build profiles of children and we do not show personalised advertising to anyone we know to be a child.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has given us personal information, email [email protected]. We will delete it promptly and confirm to you in writing.

12Deleting your data

This app has no user account, so there is nothing on our side to delete: all of your data lives on your device and disappears when you uninstall the app.

Full instructions, including what happens to each type of data, are on the dedicated page: Data & account deletion →

13This page itself

This page sets no cookies, loads no external fonts, scripts or images, and runs no analytics. Your language and light/dark choice are stored only in your own browser. Our web host keeps standard server logs (IP address, time, page requested) for security for a short period.

14Changes to this policy

When we change this policy we update the version number and the “last updated” date at the top. If a change materially affects your rights — a new data type, a new recipient, a new purpose — we will announce it inside the app before it takes effect and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent again.

Current version: 2.1, effective 2026-10-08. It replaces the version published on 2026-08-07, which no longer applies.

What changed in version 2.1: the developer's location is now stated as Cockeysville, Maryland, United States, and the Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, United States; the trading name Topjow and the App Store seller name are named alongside WebJow; and the sections on legal bases, retention and US state rights now list only what the specific app actually does. The data the apps collect did not change; the only recipient detail that changed is that support emails are now described accurately — they are handled by Namecheap for @topjow.org mailboxes as well as by Google Gmail.
