Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 November 2026. This policy covers the website ashrafulabir.xyz and the Android and web apps published by Mohammad Ashraful Haque Abir ("I", "me") under the developer account Ambiguous Studios, including the apps listed below. If you have questions about any app not listed here, contact me using the details at the bottom of this page.
Shikhao - শিখাও (com.abir.banglashikhi)
Shikhao is a fully offline app for learning to write Bangla letters and digits. It does not request the Android internet permission and cannot send data anywhere, on or off the device.
- No personal data is collected, stored, or shared. There are no accounts, sign-in, or user profiles.
- Handwriting you draw is processed entirely on-device by a local machine-learning model and is never saved or transmitted.
- Your progress (stars earned per lesson) is saved only in local app storage on your device and is deleted if you uninstall the app.
- The app contains no ads, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs.
Sciniverse: Science Lab (com.abir.sciniverse)
Sciniverse is an interactive physics, mathematics and chemistry lab. It works entirely offline: every simulation, sound and voice tutorial is stored inside the app. It does not request the Android internet permission and cannot send data anywhere, on or off the device. It requests no other device permissions either (no location, contacts, camera, microphone or storage).
- No personal data is collected, stored, or shared. There are no accounts, sign-in, or user profiles.
- Voice tutorials use the text-to-speech engine already installed on your device. The text is spoken on your device and is not sent to me.
- Your settings (for example voice speed and whether to play the opening animation) are saved only in local app storage on your device and are deleted if you uninstall the app.
- The app contains no ads, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs.
Dice Guess (com.abir.diceguess)
Dice Guess is a multiplayer dice-prediction game. It uses the following third-party services:
- Firebase Authentication — to create your player account (e.g. email or a linked sign-in provider).
- Firebase Realtime Database — to store your game state, scores, and matchmaking data for local and online multiplayer.
- Google AdMob — to display ads. AdMob may collect device and advertising identifiers under its own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
This data is used only to operate the game (accounts, scores, multiplayer, ad-supported free access) and is not sold. You can request deletion of your account data at any time using the contact details below.
This website (ashrafulabir.xyz)
This website is a personal portfolio. I do not require accounts and do not directly collect personal information from visitors. The following applies to visitors of this site:
- Google AdSense and advertising cookies. This site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

- Log data. Like most websites, the hosting provider (Netlify) and Google may automatically receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages visited and timestamps.
- Local storage. The site stores your light/dark theme preference in your browser's local storage. It is never sent to me.
- Contact. If you email me, I use your address only to reply to you.
- External links. Links to Medium, GitHub, Google Play and other sites are governed by those sites' own privacy policies.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, ads may be shown only according to your consent choices, which are collected through a Google-certified consent message where required.
Other apps by this developer
Any other app you installed that links to this page follows the same principles: I collect the minimum data needed for the app to function, I do not sell personal data, and any third-party service used (such as Firebase or AdMob) is governed by that provider's own privacy policy in addition to this one.
Children's privacy
Shikhao and Sciniverse are designed to be safe for children and families: they collect no personal data and work entirely offline. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children through any app covered by this policy beyond what is described above.
Changes to this policy
I may update this page as apps change. Material changes will update the "Last updated" date above.
