Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Sindhi Keyboard application (the "Application") handles information when you use the Application and its keyboard extension.

The Application is developed by the Abdul Majid Bhurgri Institute of Language Engineering (AMBILE) and the Sindhi Language Authority (SLA), Culture Department, Government of Sindh.

Information We Collect

Sindhi Keyboard does not collect, transmit, or store personal information on external servers.

The Application does not collect:

The Application does not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use the keyboard.

Keyboard and Typing Data

Sindhi Keyboard is designed as a privacy-first, offline keyboard. Everything you type using the keyboard remains on your device.

The keyboard does not transmit the text you type, keystrokes, or keyboard activity to the developers, Sindhi Language Authority, AMBILE, advertising networks, analytics providers, or other third parties.

Any local information used by the keyboard for features such as word prediction remains on your device.

Word Prediction

The Application uses a predefined Sindhi word dataset to provide next-word predictions while typing.

The prediction data is processed locally on your device. Your typed content is not sent to an online server to generate predictions.

The Sindhi word prediction dataset was collected from SindhSalamat in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Sindhi Language Authority.

Dictionary Updates

The Application allows dictionary or word-prediction data to be updated using a file selected by the user.

Dictionary updates are not downloaded automatically by the Application. The Application only processes files that you intentionally select or provide.

Notes and Locally Stored Content

If you use the notes functionality provided by the Application, the notes and related content are stored locally on your device.

The Application does not upload your notes or other locally created content to an external server.

App Group and Keyboard Extension

The main Application and its keyboard extension may use Apple's App Group functionality to share the locally required keyboard configuration and data between the Application and keyboard extension.

This shared data remains on your device and is not transmitted to an external service by the Application.

Internet Access

Sindhi Keyboard does not depend on an internet connection for its core keyboard functionality.

The keyboard does not use online servers to process your typing, generate word predictions, or transmit keyboard activity.

Analytics and Advertising

Sindhi Keyboard does not use third-party analytics services, advertising networks, tracking technologies, or advertising SDKs.

The Application does not display advertisements and does not collect information for advertising or user profiling.

Third-Party Services

Sindhi Keyboard does not integrate third-party analytics, advertising, tracking, or data-processing services.

The Application is built using Apple's native frameworks and system technologies, including SwiftUI, UIKit, and SQLite3.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties because the Application does not collect personal information or transmit your typing data to external services.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy prevents disclosure where required by applicable law, legal process, or a valid governmental request.

Data Retention and Deletion

Because the Application does not maintain personal information on external servers, we do not operate a remote user-data database that requires deletion requests.

Data created or stored locally by the Application, such as notes, keyboard settings, and locally stored dictionary data, can be removed by deleting the relevant content or uninstalling the Application from your device, subject to Apple's operating system behavior and backup settings.

Children's Privacy

Sindhi Keyboard does not knowingly collect personal information from children or other users.

Since the Application does not require an account and does not transmit personal information to external servers, it does not knowingly create a profile of children or collect their personal information for advertising or analytics purposes.

Security

The Application is designed to minimize privacy and security risks by keeping keyboard-related data and user-created content on the user's device.

No security measure can guarantee absolute security. Users should also maintain appropriate security controls on their device, including Apple's device passcode and operating-system security features.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Application, applicable laws, or our privacy practices.

Any updated version will be published with a revised effective date.

Your Consent

By using Sindhi Keyboard, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
