Qoraal

Privacy policy

Qoraal holds your notes, your to-dos and the messages you send it. This page says plainly what is collected, who else sees it, and how to get it back or have it removed.

What we collect

WhatWhy
Your email addressTo sign you in and to send sign-in codes and invitations.
Your name, if you give oneSo people you share a group with can see who did what.
Your phone number, if you connect WhatsAppTo send reminders and updates, and to recognise your messages.
Your notes, tasks and their attachmentsThey are the service. Files are stored separately from the database. Qoraal can read the text of notes and tasks on a private internal screen, for one reason: the assistant decides what becomes a note and what becomes a task, and whether it decides well cannot be checked without reading some of what it produced. Attachments are never opened there, and a note in the bin is not shown.
Messages you send the assistantTo answer them, to keep your chat history in the app, and so that Qoraal can read a question and its answer to check whether the assistant got it right. It answers in two languages and decides between a note and a task, and there is no other way to find out when it is wrong.
Preferences you saveLanguage, appearance, reminder settings and the few lasting notes you ask it to remember.
A record of messages sent to youSo the same reminder is not sent twice, and so delivery failures can be investigated.
Announcements sent to everyoneQoraal may send you a WhatsApp message about the service itself — a renewal, a change, something new — to the number you confirmed. Reply STOP or JOOJI to any of them and you will never get another, while reminders about your own work carry on. Who was sent what, and when, is kept so that question can always be answered.

Qoraal does not use advertising, does not sell data, does not build a profile of you for anyone else, and has no third-party analytics or tracking beyond the traffic statistics our hosting provider produces.

Who else sees it

Qoraal uses a small number of companies to run the service. Each sees only what it needs:

We may also disclose information where the law requires it.

What other people see

A note is private until you share it. A task in a shared group is visible to everyone in that group, along with the name on your account and a record of the changes you make to it. If you leave a group, the tasks in it stay with the group.

How long it is kept

Your notes and tasks are kept until you delete them or ask for your account to be removed. A note you put in the bin stays there until you empty it. Records of messages sent to you are kept so that duplicates can be avoided and failures investigated.

Your choices

Children

Qoraal is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Security

Traffic is encrypted in transit. Sign-in is by a one-time code sent to your email, or by Google, so there is no password to be stolen. A WhatsApp number must be confirmed from that handset before it can be used. No service can promise perfect security, and we do not.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the bottom of this page changes and we will say so in the app.
