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 send microphone audio itself, and does not include recognized text in Write Urdu usage analytics. 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 a public link that keeps the version you chose to share at that time, 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 footer. Initial public share pages are unlisted, kept out of the normal XML sitemap and marked noindex. These settings reduce normal search discovery; they do not make the link private.

Card Studio keeps the access needed to manage a link you publish. If you clear site data or move to another device, self-service deletion may no longer be available. Clearing site data does not 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.

For step-by-step usage, see How to share Urdu writing online with a WriteUrdu link.

Urdu Writers is a separate, account-required publishing surface. Submitting writing for community publication is always an explicit action; it never happens from a normal saved draft. There are several distinct states your writing can be in:

• Community submission under review — the title, name/pen name, category, tags and text you submitted are stored privately so a Write Urdu moderator can review them. Only you and moderators can see a submission at this stage.
• Approved public community publication — once approved, that snapshot becomes publicly readable at a write-urdu.com/urdu-writers/… page under the name/pen name you chose. Your account email is never published.
• Rejected submission — stays private, is never published, and remains visible only to you in My Publications together with a safe reason.
• Moderation/report records — a bounded record of moderation decisions and reader reports may be retained for operational and abuse-handling purposes, without publishing report identities.

A community submission is a separate, uploaded copy: it is not the same record as a private My Documents document, even if you started from one. Withdrawing an approved publication from My Publications removes it from public reading immediately; it does not delete your private My Documents source writing, and does not necessarily erase every minimal operational/moderation record immediately where documented retention applies. See the Community Publishing Guidelines for what can be published and how moderation and reporting work.

The Contact and Feedback forms send only the fields you choose to enter through the Write Urdu form service. Cloudflare Turnstile is used to reduce automated spam, and accepted messages are delivered privately to the project mailbox. Write Urdu does not add a separate copy of the form submission to product analytics.

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 [email protected]. 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 [email protected]) 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.

2. Use License

Permission is granted to temporarily use or download site materials for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing. This is a license, not a transfer of title. You may not commercially exploit, publicly display, reverse engineer, remove proprietary notices from, transfer, or mirror the site materials. The license terminates if these restrictions are violated.

3. Disclaimer

The materials are provided on an “as is” basis. Write Urdu disclaims warranties to the extent permitted by law and does not guarantee the accuracy, results or reliability of the materials or linked sites.

4. Limitations

To the extent permitted by law, Write Urdu and its suppliers are not liable for damages arising from use or inability to use the site, including loss of data, profit or business interruption. Some jurisdictions may not allow every limitation.

5. Accuracy of materials

Materials may contain technical, typographical or photographic errors. Write Urdu does not promise that all materials are accurate, complete or current and may change them without notice.

6. Links

Write Urdu is not responsible for the contents of external sites. A link does not imply endorsement; use external sites at your own risk.

7. Modifications

Write Urdu may revise these terms without notice. Continuing to use the website means you accept the current version.

8. Community publishing (Urdu Writers)

If you submit writing to Urdu Writers, you represent that you wrote it or have the right to submit it, and that it does not infringe another person's copyright or rights. You keep ownership of rights you already hold. By submitting, you give Write Urdu a limited, non-exclusive permission to host, render, distribute and technically reproduce the approved version as part of the Write Urdu service, until it is withdrawn by you or removed by Write Urdu. Write Urdu may review, approve, reject or later remove a submission or publication under the Community Publishing Guidelines, and does not guarantee that a submission will be approved, receive traffic, remain permanently available or achieve any particular search ranking. You may withdraw your own publication at any time from My Publications. Submitting content that is spam, infringing, abusive or otherwise violates these terms or the guidelines is prohibited and may result in rejection, removal or account action. To report a publication, use the report control on that page or Contact Write Urdu.

9. Governing Law

These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Pakistan, and you submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Pakistan.

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.
