Marhaba Guide (“we”, “our”, or “the app”) is a free travel guide to Morocco. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using the app, you agree to the practices described here.
1. No account required
Marhaba Guide does not require you to create an account or sign in. There is no login and no user account system. All features are available immediately and anonymously.
2. Information we collect
We do not sell or rent your personal information. The app stores the following on your device:
- Saved destinations and language preference.
- Cached weather and currency rates, so recently viewed information loads faster.
When you submit a booking request, your name and email address are sent to our Supabase backend and stored there so we can respond to your request. Nothing else about you is collected.
3. Location
The app may request access to your device location to show nearby destinations and to display your position on the map. Location access is optional: you can use the app without granting it. When granted, location is used on-device to centre the map and is not transmitted to our servers.
4. Analytics and advertising
We do not collect analytics, usage data, or advertising identifiers. No tracking SDKs are included in the app.
The app anonymously counts how often it is opened, using privacy-friendly aggregate statistics. This uses no cookies and stores nothing that could identify you or your device — only two dates on your device (first open and last count), and the message sent is a coarse time bucket, not a date or timestamp.
De app telt anoniem hoe vaak hij wordt geopend, met privacyvriendelijke aggregaatstatistieken. Dit gebruikt geen cookies en slaat niets op waarmee jij of je apparaat te identificeren zijn — enkel twee data op je apparaat (eerste opening en laatste telling), en het verzonden bericht is een grof tijdsinterval, geen datum of tijdstip.
5. Third-party services
The app uses the following third-party services to display maps, weather, photos, and destination information. Each provider has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data:

6. Data retention
Booking requests are kept for as long as needed to fulfil the request and respond to any follow-up questions, after which they are deleted. Data stored on your device (saved items, cache) remains until you clear it or remove the app.
7. Children's privacy
The app is intended for general use and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
8. Your rights
You can clear all locally stored data at any time by removing the app or clearing site data in your browser. There is no account to delete. To request deletion of a booking request you submitted, email us at info@marhabaguide.com and we will remove your name and email address from our records.
9. Contact
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or the app, contact us at info@marhabaguide.com. We aim to respond within five working days.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date.
