Privacy Policy

Effective date: 23 July 2026
Last updated: 10 September 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 and process only the information reasonably needed to operate, secure, improve, personalise and support our website and application.

1. Information You Provide

You may provide information directly when you contact us, use an account feature, sign in, 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, consent or advertising preferences.

We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information unless it is necessary 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 using a Google account. Authentication may be handled through 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.

My Morocco does not receive or store your Google account password.

3. Website and App Usage Information

Our services and third-party service providers may automatically receive technical information when you visit the website or use the application. Depending on the service being used, this information may include:

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

This information may be used to operate the service, maintain security, measure performance, identify technical problems, prevent abuse and understand how readers use My Morocco.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

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

These technologies may be used to:

operate and secure the website;
remember user preferences;
measure website traffic and performance;
understand how visitors interact with our content;
support advertising where advertising is enabled;
measure advertisement performance;
limit how frequently certain advertisements are shown;
prevent fraud, invalid traffic and abuse.

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

5. Google AdSense and Website Advertising

My Morocco may use Google AdSense and related Google advertising services to display advertisements on my-morocco.com.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a user's previous visits to My Morocco or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its advertising partners to serve advertisements to users based on their visits to this website and/or other websites on the Internet.

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

Advertising services may process information such as IP addresses, browser and device information, advertising identifiers, approximate location, page information, advertisement impressions, clicks and other advertisement-interaction information.

Google and participating advertising technology providers may also use cookies, local storage, web beacons, pixels or similar technologies for purposes including advertisement delivery, measurement, frequency control, fraud prevention and advertising personalisation where permitted.

Where third-party advertising providers participate in advertising on My Morocco, information about those providers and available consent choices may also be presented through the consent-management platform displayed to applicable visitors.

6. Personalised Advertising and Google Ads Settings

Users can control whether Google uses information to personalise advertisements through Google's advertising settings.

You can review or change your Google advertising preferences here:

Google Ads Settings

Turning off personalised advertising does not necessarily prevent advertisements from appearing. Advertisements may still be selected using information such as the content of the page, general location or other non-personalised signals.

7. Google AdMob and App Advertising

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

Google AdMob and participating advertising partners may process information such as:

advertising identifiers;
IP address;
device and operating-system information;
approximate location;
application information;
advertisement impressions and interactions;
fraud-prevention, security and diagnostic information.

Advertisements displayed in the application may be personalised or non-personalised depending on applicable law, your consent choices, device settings and the advertising services available in your region.

8. Consent Management and Privacy Choices

Where applicable law requires consent, My Morocco may display a privacy or consent message before certain advertising, personalisation, storage or data-processing activities take place.

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, consent for relevant Google advertising purposes may be collected through a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) that integrates with the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework where required.

For the My Morocco mobile application, consent messages may be provided through Google's User Messaging Platform or another appropriate consent solution when applicable.

Depending on your region, available choices may include:

accepting or rejecting certain advertising purposes;
allowing or refusing personalised advertising;
reviewing advertising technology providers;
controlling certain storage or data-processing purposes;
changing or withdrawing consent where available.

Your choices may be stored on your device or processed by the consent-management service so that your preferences can be respected on future visits.

9. Information Stored on Your Device

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

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

Unless a feature specifically states otherwise, locally stored information remains on your device. You can remove local information by clearing the application's storage or uninstalling the application.

10. Notifications

The My Morocco application may send notifications about articles, recipes, updates or application features where you have allowed notifications.

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

11. How We Use Information

Information may be used to:

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

12. Third-Party Services

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;
hosting, analytics, security and technical-service providers.

These providers may process information according to their own terms, privacy policies and legal obligations.

13. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data-protection law requires a legal basis, information may be processed on one or more of the following grounds:

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

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

14. Data Sharing

My Morocco does not sell personal information for monetary payment.

Information may be shared with service providers where reasonably necessary to operate website or application features, provide authentication, deliver and measure advertising, maintain security, analyse performance, prevent fraud or comply with legal obligations.

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

15. External and Affiliate Links

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

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

16. 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 it is deleted, application storage is cleared or the application is uninstalled.

17. 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 review the My Morocco account-deletion instructions here:

Account Deletion

For additional assistance, contact:

Email: aminesahabi33@gmail.com

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.

18. Security

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

No internet transmission or electronic-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

19. International Data Processing

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

Where required by applicable law, service providers may use recognised safeguards for international data transfers.

20. Children's Privacy

My Morocco is not specifically directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate authorisation where required.

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

Different minimum ages and consent requirements may apply depending on local law.

21. 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 where applicable;
submit a complaint to an appropriate data-protection authority.

The rights available to you depend on your location and the privacy laws that apply.
