Write Urdu privacy policy and terms

Urdu Voice Typing starts only after you choose Start voice typing. The page uses the speech-recognition capability provided by your browser or operating platform and requests Urdu recognition. Write Urdu does not start listening automatically when the page opens.

Speech recognition is implemented differently across browsers and devices. Some platforms perform recognition locally, while others may send microphone audio to a provider-operated recognition service and may require an internet connection. Those provider-side processing details are controlled by the browser or platform you use.

Write Urdu does not create a separate audio recording, does not upload microphone audio to a Write Urdu API, and does not include recognized transcript text in first-party product telemetry. The editable transcript remains in the page unless you explicitly copy it, continue into another Write Urdu tool, save it through a separate account feature, or publish it through a separate sharing action.

A normal Card Studio project remains browser-local until you deliberately choose Publish & Share. That action creates an immutable public snapshot with a short address such as write-urdu.com/s/…. Anyone who has the address can open or forward it, so a published share must not be treated as confidential.

The public page can show the rendered visual, the public Urdu text and optional author/source attribution. The hosted image contains a small Write-Urdu.com provenance footer. Initial public share pages are unlisted, kept out of the normal XML sitemap and marked noindex; those measures are intended to prevent arbitrary user-generated pages from becoming a search-content program, not to provide access control.

The browser that publishes a share receives a private management token. Write Urdu stores only a hash of that token on the server; the token itself is stored locally in the publishing browser and is not placed in the public URL. When the token is available, the publisher can delete the public link from Card Studio. Clearing browser/site storage may remove that self-service management token and does not, by itself, delete an already-published public share.

Public pages include a bounded Report action for abuse, spam, privacy and copyright concerns. Public-share metadata and rendered images may be retained until the publisher deletes the share, Write Urdu blocks/removes it, or operational retention rules require removal.

The Contact and Feedback forms send the fields you choose to enter to a same-origin Write Urdu Pages Function. Cloudflare Turnstile is used to reduce automated spam. After successful validation, a private service-bound mailer sends an email notification to the project mailbox. Write Urdu does not store a separate copy of the form submission in the product-telemetry database.

Depending on the form, submitted fields can include your name, reply email, topic, subject, optional rating and message. A reply email is used only to answer the message. Do not include passwords, confidential documents, payment information, private conversations or more example text than is necessary to explain a problem.

Contact submissions are used to answer product, technical, privacy, accessibility and general questions. Feedback submissions are used to understand bugs, friction and product-improvement ideas and may be submitted without a name or email. Messages and related email records are retained only as long as reasonably needed to respond, investigate the issue, maintain appropriate correspondence records or meet applicable obligations.

If the protected form service is unavailable, the public fallback address is admin@write-urdu.com. In that case your own email provider and the receiving mail provider process the message according to their policies.

Write Urdu's core writing tools do not require an account. If you choose to sign in with Google or Facebook, that identity is used only to recognize your account; it does not upload your existing local drafts.

If you sign in and explicitly choose Save to my account for a document, that document is stored under your account so you can reopen it on another device through My Documents. Local autosave/history in your browser is separate and is not affected by account sign-in or sign-out.

To request deletion of your account, use Contact Write Urdu (or email admin@write-urdu.com) from the address associated with your sign-in, or state which provider (Google or Facebook) you used. On request, Write Urdu deletes:

• your Auth.js identity, linked provider account and session records;
• any documents you explicitly saved to your account through Save to my account.

Local drafts and history stored in a browser on a specific device are not part of this remote deletion; clear them directly from that browser using the local-data controls described above. Deletion requests are processed within a reasonable time and may be retained briefly in operational logs/backups as needed to complete the request and meet applicable obligations.

Your privacy is important to us. Write Urdu respects privacy regarding information processed while operating the website.

Write Urdu uses first-party product telemetry on instrumented product pages to understand whether a writing or creation surface is used, coarse writing-length and active-time ranges, copy/export/share outcomes, input mode and internal product handoffs. A separate coarse arrival classification can distinguish categories such as Google Search, other search, direct/unknown, referral, campaign and internal navigation. The classification happens in the browser; Write Urdu receives the category and route, not the full referrer URL, search query or campaign value. Public-share telemetry sends a normalized generic share route rather than the individual share identifier. This telemetry does not transmit the Urdu or Roman Urdu text you write and does not use a persistent cross-session user identifier.

Most creative work remains local to the browser. When you explicitly use Publish & Share, the selected rendered snapshot and its public display data are intentionally sent to and stored by Write Urdu so the public link can function. The public-share service is distinct from normal local drafts. The relationship between a public parent share and a newly published child share may be retained for aggregate product-loop measurement, but that relationship is not joined to anonymous browser-session identities.

Third-party services may be used for transliteration, browser/platform speech recognition, analytics, advertising, web fonts, spam protection and embedded media. Those providers may process technical information or cookies according to their policies. Information submitted through Contact, Feedback or email is used for the purpose described at submission, such as responding to a question or improving the service.

• Personal information will be collected by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with knowledge or consent.
• Purposes for collection will be identified at or before collection.
• Information will be used for those purposes or related lawful purposes unless consent or law permits otherwise.
• Personal data should be relevant, accurate, complete and reasonably current for its intended purpose.
• Reasonable safeguards will be used against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
• Information about privacy practices will be made available to visitors.
• Personal information will be retained only as long as necessary for the relevant purpose.

Write Urdu may update this privacy policy from time to time. For privacy questions or a request that needs a reply, use Contact Write Urdu. For product ideas or corrections, use the feedback page.
