11Y — Privacy Policy
Application: 11Y
Publisher / Data Controller: Yousef Roshdy
Contact: yossefroshdy2006@gmail.com
Effective Date: 9 July 2026
Last Updated: 12 July 2026
Version: 1.4
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how the 11Y mobile application (the "Application", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects information relating to individuals who use the Application (each a "User" or "you").
The Application is an educational productivity platform that provides study planning, learning tracks, collaborative teams and groups, private and group messaging, cloud file storage, and Artificial Intelligence assistance. Because these features process User data, this Policy exists to explain, in clear and accurate terms, exactly what data is processed and why.
This Policy is a legal and technical document. It is intended to reflect the actual behaviour of the Application. By creating an Account, downloading, accessing, or using the Application, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and that your Personal Data will be processed as described herein. If you do not agree with this Policy, you should not use the Application.
2. Definitions
For the purposes of this Policy:
- Application — the 11Y software application distributed through Google Play and operated on your Device.
- User — any natural person who accesses or uses the Application.
- Personal Data — any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as an email address, name, profile photograph, or account identifier.
- Processing — any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, storage, use, transmission, disclosure, or deletion.
- Cloud Storage — remote storage infrastructure operated by our Cloud Infrastructure providers on which User data and content are stored.
- AI Services — third-party Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning services used to generate responses to User requests.
- Third-party Services — external service providers whose infrastructure the Application relies upon, as listed in Section 7.
- Content or User Generated Content (UGC) — any text, message, image, video, document, note, drawing, audio recording, or file that you create, upload, or transmit through the Application.
- Account — the User profile created upon registration that is required to access the Application's features.
- Device — the mobile device on which the Application is installed.
- Platform — Google Play and the Android operating system through which the Application is distributed and run.
3. Scope of this Policy
This Policy covers the collection and Processing of data through the 11Y Application and its associated backend infrastructure (authentication, database, storage, cloud functions, messaging, analytics, crash reporting, advertising, and AI Services).
This Policy does not cover the independent privacy practices of Third-party Services beyond the scope of their integration with the Application, external websites or applications that may be linked from within the Application, or content and services provided by other Users. Third-party Services process data in accordance with their own privacy policies, referenced in Section 7.
4. Data We Collect
We apply the principle of Data Minimization and collect only the data necessary to operate the features described below.
4.1 Identity Data
Collected when you create or use an Account:
- Email address
- Display name
- Username (handle)
- Profile photograph (optional, if you provide one)
- A unique account identifier (UID) assigned by the authentication provider
When you register or sign in using Google Sign-In, we receive basic profile information (such as name, email address, and profile photograph) from that provider as permitted by the authorization you grant.
To protect your privacy, the Application stores a SHA-256 cryptographic hash of your email address for the "add friend by email" search feature, rather than exposing plaintext email addresses in publicly readable profile records. This is a data-minimization measure.
4.2 Device and Diagnostic Data
Collected automatically to maintain reliability and security:
- Device model and type
- Operating system version
- Device language and locale
- Time zone (used to schedule reminders at the correct local time)
- Crash logs, stack traces, and diagnostic information
- Application performance traces (e.g., startup time)
4.3 User Generated Content (UGC)
Content you create or upload while using the Application, including:
- Private (direct), group, and team chat messages
- Images and photographs
- Videos
- Documents, including PDF and Word files
- Notes, study materials, drawings, and handwritten input
- Voice messages / audio recordings
- Other files you choose to upload
4.4 AI Interaction Data
When you use AI features, we process:
- The prompts and requests you submit
- The conversation context you provide
- The responses generated
- The history of AI conversations, so that you can revisit them
4.5 Usage, Activity, and Application Data
Generated through normal use of the Application:
- Study sessions, tasks, plans, and learning progress
- Points, streaks, leaderboard positions, and achievements
- Friend, group, and team relationships and activity
- Presence status (online/last-active indicators)
- Analytics events describing interactions with core features
- Push notification registration tokens (see Section 4.6)
4.6 Messaging and Notification Data
To deliver push notifications, we process a device messaging token issued by Firebase Cloud Messaging and metadata required to route notifications relevant to you. Users may disable notifications at any time through their device settings.
4.7 Advertising Data
The Application integrates the Google AdMob advertising SDK and displays advertisements. In connection with serving and measuring those advertisements, Google AdMob may collect device identifiers (including the Android advertising identifier), IP address, and related technical signals, as carried out by Google in accordance with its own policies (see Section 7 and Section 18). The Application declares the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission for this purpose, and the advertising identifier is disclosed accordingly in our Google Play Data Safety declaration. We do not share your Identity Data or Content with advertisers for targeting purposes.
4.8 Payment Data
The Application does not currently offer in-app purchases or subscriptions and does not collect, process, or store any payment card or billing information. Google Play Billing is planned for a future release; see Section 18.
5. On-Device Processing
Certain features rely on on-device Machine Learning that does not transmit your content to our servers or to third parties for that specific processing:
- Text recognition (OCR) and handwriting (digital ink) recognition are performed locally on your Device using Google ML Kit. The recognized text becomes part of your Content only if you choose to save it.
6. Purposes of Processing
We process data only for the following purposes, each tied to a real feature of the Application:
| Purpose | Description |
|---|---|
| Authentication & Authorization | Creating and securing your Account and controlling access to your data. |

By using the Application you acknowledge that these providers process data in accordance with their respective privacy policies, including Google's applicable Privacy Policy and Terms.
8. Artificial Intelligence Services
The Application offers AI-powered features (such as assistants and study helpers). When you use these features:
- The prompts, messages, and any Content you deliberately submit to an AI feature may be transmitted, over encrypted connections and through our secure backend, to our AI Services provider (Google Gemini) for the sole purpose of generating a response to your request.
- Certain AI features may use supplementary capabilities provided by the AI Services provider, such as web-search grounding (to return citations) and a sandboxed code-execution environment (to compute results). Where these are used, the necessary portions of your request are processed by those capabilities to fulfil your request.
- AI providers may process requests in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.
- AI-generated responses may be stored as part of your conversation history so that you can revisit them.
- Data submitted to AI features is used to generate responses. We do not sell your data, and we do not use it to serve you advertisements.
- You are responsible for the Content you submit to AI features. You should not submit sensitive personal information, or the information of others, that you do not wish to be processed by an AI Services provider.
AI-generated output may be inaccurate or incomplete and should not be relied upon as professional advice.
8.1 Self-Development, Coaching & Safety
Some AI features (including the self-development coach and related tools) are provided for educational and personal-development purposes only. They are not a medical, psychological, diagnostic, therapeutic, counselling, or emergency service, and they do not provide any medical or mental-health diagnosis or treatment. They are not a substitute for consultation with a qualified professional.
Where your input indicates distress or a possible risk of harm to yourself or others, the assistant is designed to respond supportively and to encourage you to reach out to a trusted person or a qualified professional; it does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or harmful instructions. If you are experiencing a crisis or an emergency, contact your local emergency services or a qualified professional immediately. The Application also displays an in-app notice describing these limitations before you use the self-development features.
9. Cloud Storage and Synchronization
Content you upload is stored using Cloud Storage operated by our Cloud Infrastructure providers. This enables:
- Upload of your Content to your Account;
- Download and retrieval of your Content when you access the Application;
- Synchronization so your data remains consistent across your sessions;
- Recovery of your data when you sign in again.
Backups may be maintained by our Cloud Infrastructure providers as part of their standard backup operations.
10. How We Share Data
We share data only as necessary to operate the Application:
- We do not sell your Personal Data.
- We do not rent your Personal Data.
- We do not share your Personal Data with advertising data brokers.
Data may be disclosed to:
- Cloud Infrastructure providers (listed in Section 7) that host and process data on our behalf;
- AI Services providers, strictly to generate the responses you request;
- Advertising and (future) payment providers only to the limited extent described in Sections 4.7 and 18;
- Authorized Personnel (Administration, Moderation & Content Management) — a limited number of authorized administrators or moderators acting on our behalf and bound by confidentiality, who operate and publish content within the Application and who may access, review, moderate, or remove Content — including, where strictly necessary, Content within private, group, or team spaces — solely for the legitimate purposes of operating and maintaining the service, responding to reports, protecting User safety, preventing, detecting, or investigating abuse, spam, fraud, or violations of this Policy or our terms, providing support, and complying with Applicable Laws. Such access is limited to these purposes, is not used for advertising or profiling, and is not sold or shared with third parties;
- Other Users, where you deliberately share Content with them (for example, messages you send, or posts you make within a team or group);
- Law Enforcement or governmental authorities, where we are required to do so by Applicable Laws, valid legal process, or a lawful Law Enforcement Request, or where necessary to protect rights, safety, or property.
11. Cross-border Data Transfers
The Application relies on global Cloud Infrastructure. Your data may be stored and processed on servers located in countries other than your country of residence, in accordance with the infrastructure of our Third-party Service Providers. Backend processing (including AI request handling) may be performed in Google Cloud regions. Where such Cross-border Data Transfers occur, they are carried out subject to the safeguards maintained by those providers.
12. Security Measures
We take security measures consistent with industry standards to protect Personal Data, including:
- Encryption In Transit using HTTPS/TLS for communications between the Application and our backend;
- Encryption At Rest for stored data, as provided by our Cloud Infrastructure providers;
- Authentication of Users through established identity providers;
- Authorization enforced by server-side Security Rules that restrict each User's access to their own data and to data explicitly shared with them;
- Least Privilege access controls on backend resources;
- Abuse prevention through device integrity attestation (App Check / Play Integrity);
- Security Monitoring and diagnostic logging.
While we take these measures, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
13. Data Retention
We retain Personal Data and Content for as long as your Account remains active or as needed to provide the Application's features. When data is no longer required for these purposes, or upon a valid deletion request, it is deleted or anonymized. Following deletion, residual copies may persist temporarily within routine backups maintained by our Cloud Infrastructure providers before being overwritten in the ordinary course of their operations. We may retain limited data for longer where required to comply with Applicable Laws, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
14. Account Deletion
The Application provides an in-app option to permanently delete your Account and associated data, in compliance with Google Play's account-deletion requirements.
When you request deletion:
- Your user profile and its associated records (including friends, activities, story highlights, points history, sessions, and related data) are deleted;
- Files you have stored under your Account in Cloud Storage are deleted;
- Your username reservation is released;
- Your authentication identity is permanently removed, which prevents further sign-in.
Account deletion may take a reasonable period to complete.
What may remain: Content that you contributed to shared spaces (such as messages within a team, group, or chat with other Users) may be retained so that other Users' conversations remain coherent; once your Account is deleted, such Content is no longer attributable to an identifiable Account. In addition, residual copies may persist temporarily in backups as described in Section 13.
To delete your Account, use the in-app deletion option, or contact us at yossefroshdy2006@gmail.com.
15. Your Rights
Subject to, and where required by, Applicable Laws, you have the right to:
- Access the Personal Data we hold about you;
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data (for example, by editing your profile in the Application);
- Delete your Account and associated data (see Section 14);
- Withdraw consent for optional Processing, such as notifications;
- Object to or restrict certain Processing;
- Contact us with any privacy request.
To exercise these rights, contact yossefroshdy2006@gmail.com. We will respond within the period required by Applicable Laws.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as described in Section 22.
16. Children's Privacy
The Application is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum digital age required by applicable law). We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us at yossefroshdy2006@gmail.com, and we will take steps to delete such data.

- Diagnostic Logs and Crash Reports describing errors and application state at the time of a failure;
- Security Logs used to detect and prevent abuse and unauthorized access;
- Performance Diagnostics describing application responsiveness.
These records are used for reliability, security, and troubleshooting, and are retained only as long as reasonably necessary.
18. Advertising and Payments
Advertising. The Application integrates the Google AdMob advertising SDK and displays advertisements (banner, native, interstitial, and rewarded formats). Google may collect and process device identifiers — including the Android advertising identifier — IP address, and related technical data in order to serve, cap, and measure advertisements, as described in Google's own policies. We do not share your Identity Data or Content with advertisers for the purpose of targeting. Personalized advertising, where enabled, is subject to applicable consent requirements, and you can reset or delete your advertising identifier at any time from your device settings.
Payments. Purchases and subscriptions are not currently available in the Application, and no in-app billing system is presently active. Google Play Billing will be integrated in a future release, before the public production release, to offer paid features. Payment card details are never stored by the Application. When billing is enabled, all payments will be processed exclusively through Google Play Billing; payment card data will be handled by Google and not stored by us, purchases will be verified through Google Play, and refunds will be governed by Google Play's policies. Applicable taxes may apply depending on the user's jurisdiction. This Policy and the Data Safety disclosure will be updated before any paid feature is enabled.
19. User Responsibilities, Content Moderation & Reporting
By using the Application, you agree that you will:
- Not upload, share, or transmit Content that is unlawful, infringing, harmful, or that violates the rights of others;
- Not misuse the Application or use it for any unlawful or abusive purpose;
- Not attempt to gain unauthorized access to, disrupt, reverse engineer, or compromise the Application, its backend, or other Users' data;
- Take responsibility for the Content you submit, including to AI features.
19.1 Prohibited Content and Conduct
The Application includes features that allow Users to interact and share User Generated Content (UGC) — including private, group, and team messages, images, videos, documents, audio, and files. You must not create, upload, share, or transmit Content that:
- Sexually exploits or endangers minors in any way (see Section 19.4);
- Depicts or promotes violence, terrorism, self-harm, or is graphically violent;
- Is sexually explicit, pornographic, or contains nudity;
- Constitutes hate speech, harassment, bullying, or threats against any person or group;
- Is unlawful, defamatory, deceptive, fraudulent, or infringes intellectual property or privacy rights;
- Is spam, malware, or intended to disrupt or deceive other Users.
19.2 Reporting and Blocking Tools
To help keep the community safe, the Application provides in-app tools that let you:
- Report a User, a message, or objectionable Content from every surface that displays content created by others — private chats, group chats, team posts, comments and replies, public feed comments, public profiles, stories, and AI-generated responses — so our team can review it. Each report identifies the exact item reported, so our moderation team can remove that Content and act on the responsible Account;
- Block other Users, which prevents them from contacting you (enforced on our servers, not only hidden in the interface);
- Mute notifications from a conversation.
Reports are received by our authorized moderation team and reviewed. To report Content or a User, use the report option in the app, or contact us at yossefroshdy2006@gmail.com.
19.3 Moderation and Enforcement
We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to review, moderate, restrict, or remove any Content, and to warn, suspend, or permanently terminate the Account of any User who violates this Policy or our terms — with or without notice, and at our sole discretion — in order to protect Users and comply with Applicable Laws. We aim to act on valid reports of clearly objectionable Content within a reasonable time.
19.4 Zero Tolerance for Child Sexual Abuse & Exploitation (CSAE)
We have a zero-tolerance policy toward child sexual abuse and exploitation material (CSAE/CSAM). Such Content is strictly prohibited. Where we become aware of such Content, we will remove it, terminate the responsible Account, and report it to the relevant authorities as required by Applicable Laws.
19.5 AI Features — Acceptable Use
The Application offers Artificial Intelligence features. You must not attempt to use these features to generate content that is prohibited under Section 19.1. AI safety filters are applied to reduce harmful outputs, and you may report an AI-generated response you believe is inappropriate. AI-generated output may be inaccurate and should not be relied upon as professional advice.
20. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Application, legal requirements, or our practices. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, the version number. Material changes will be communicated through the Application or other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Application after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
