Privacy Policy

Effective date: 23 July 2026
Last updated: 31 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how My Morocco, operated by John Harris, handles information when you use the website my-morocco.com, the My Morocco mobile application, and related services.

Our goal is to collect only the information needed to operate, secure, improve, and support our website and application.

1. Information You Provide

You may provide information directly when you contact us, use an account feature, or change a preference. This may include:

your name;
your email address;
your profile photo when using Google Sign-In;
messages you send to us;
notification, privacy, or advertising preferences.

We do not ask for sensitive personal information unless it is required for a specific service and clearly explained to you.

2. Google Sign-In and Firebase Authentication

The My Morocco application may allow users to sign in with a Google account. Authentication may be handled by Google Sign-In and Firebase Authentication.

When you sign in, the application may receive information such as your name, email address, profile photo, authentication status, and a Firebase user identifier.

We do not receive or store your Google account password.

3. Website and App Usage Information

Our services and third-party providers may automatically receive technical information when you visit the website or use the application. This may include:

IP address;
browser type;
device type and operating system;
language and app version;
pages, articles, or features viewed;
date and time of access;
performance and diagnostic information;
approximate location derived from an IP address;
advertising identifiers where advertising services are enabled.

This information helps operate the service, measure performance, detect technical problems, and understand how readers use My Morocco.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The My Morocco website may use cookies, local storage, scripts, tags, and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used to:

operate and secure the website;
remember preferences;
measure website traffic and performance;
understand how visitors use our content;
support advertising where advertising is enabled;
prevent fraud and abuse.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect certain website features.

5. Google AdSense and Website Advertising

If advertising is enabled on my-morocco.com, we may use Google AdSense or other Google advertising services.

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to display, limit, measure, and personalise advertisements where permitted.

Information processed for advertising may include an IP address, browser or device information, advertising identifiers, approximate location, ad impressions, clicks, and interaction data.

Depending on your location and consent choices, advertisements may be personalised or non-personalised.

Google's use of advertising cookies may allow Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this website and other websites.

6. Google AdMob and App Advertising

The My Morocco mobile application may use Google AdMob to display advertisements.

Google AdMob and its partners may process information such as:

advertising identifiers;
IP address;
device and operating-system information;
approximate location;
ad impressions and interactions;
fraud-prevention and diagnostic information.

Advertising settings depend on your region, consent choices, device settings, and the advertising services available in the application.

7. Consent and Privacy Choices

Where required by applicable law, My Morocco may request your consent before using certain advertising, analytics, or similar technologies.

Depending on your location, available choices may include:

accepting or rejecting certain advertising purposes;
choosing personalised or non-personalised advertising;
reviewing participating advertising partners;
changing or withdrawing consent.

Your choices may be stored on your device or processed by the consent-management service used by Google or another provider.

8. Information Stored on Your Device

The My Morocco application may store information locally on your device, including:

saved articles or recipes;
recently viewed articles;
reading progress;
offline content;
theme and display preferences;
notification preferences;
application settings and onboarding status.

Unless a feature states otherwise, this information stays on your device. You can remove local data by clearing the application's storage or uninstalling the application.

9. Notifications

The My Morocco application may send notifications about articles, recipes, updates, or application features.

You can disable notifications through the application where the option is available or through your device settings.

10. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

operate and maintain the website and application;
provide requested features;
authenticate users;
remember preferences;
provide offline and reading-progress features;
send notifications you have enabled;
measure and improve performance;
display and measure advertising where enabled;
respond to messages and support requests;
protect the website, application, and users from abuse or fraud;
comply with applicable legal obligations.

11. Services That May Process Information

My Morocco relies on third-party services for some website and application functions. Depending on the features you use, these providers may include:

Google Blogger;
Google Firebase;
Firebase Authentication;
Google Sign-In;
Google AdSense;
Google AdMob;
Google User Messaging Platform;
Google Play services;
analytics, security, hosting, and technical-service providers.

These companies process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

12. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data-protection law requires a legal basis, information may be processed on the basis of:

Consent, including certain advertising, cookie, and notification choices;
Performance of a service you request;
Legitimate interests, such as operating, securing, and improving My Morocco;
Legal obligations that require information to be processed or retained.

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent where applicable.

13. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information for monetary payment.

Information may be shared with service providers when required to operate website or app features, provide advertising, process authentication, analyse performance, prevent abuse, or comply with legal obligations.

Some privacy laws use terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly. Where those laws apply, appropriate consent or opt-out choices may be provided.

14. External and Affiliate Links

Articles may contain links to websites operated by other organisations. My Morocco is not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of those external websites.

If My Morocco uses affiliate links in the future, the relationship will be disclosed where appropriate. An affiliate relationship means My Morocco may receive a commission after a qualifying purchase without increasing the price paid by the reader.

15. Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining security, responding to requests, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes.

Information stored locally by the application remains on your device until you delete it, clear application storage, or uninstall the application.

16. Account and Data Deletion

If you use an account feature in the My Morocco application, you may request deletion of associated account information.

You can also review the My Morocco account-deletion instructions here:

We may need to verify a request before deleting account information. Certain records may be retained where required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or record-keeping purposes.

17. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information from unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No internet transmission or electronic-storage system is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

18. International Data Processing

Google and other service providers may process information in countries different from the country where you live.

Where required, providers use recognised safeguards for international data transfers.

19. Children's Privacy

My Morocco is not directed specifically at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information through My Morocco, contact us so the matter can be reviewed.

Different minimum ages may apply under local law.

20. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

request access to personal information;
correct inaccurate information;
request deletion;
restrict or object to certain processing;
withdraw consent;
request data portability where applicable;
opt out of certain targeted advertising or data sharing;
submit a complaint to an appropriate data-protection authority.

Some rights depend on your country and the applicable privacy law.
