Privacy Policy

Jordan Dental Association (JDA) mobile application
Last updated: 27 October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Jordan Dental Association (“JDA”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the JDA mobile application for iOS and Android (the “App”).

1. Who we are

The App is provided by the Jordan Dental Association for members and related professional services. Contact for privacy requests: https://www.jda.org.jo or email [email protected].

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the App, we may collect:

• Personal information: name, email address, phone number, and user identifiers used for account authentication.
• Financial information: purchase history and payment-related details processed to complete fees and services (card or Apple Pay data is handled by our payment provider; we do not store full card numbers on JDA servers).
• Location: approximate and precise location when you use map or location-based features and grant permission.
• Photos and files: images and documents you choose to upload for profile or service requests.
• App activity: interactions with App features to operate and improve the service.
• App info and performance: crash logs and diagnostics to maintain reliability and security.
• Device or other IDs: identifiers used for push notifications, analytics, and fraud prevention.

3. How we use information

• Provide App functionality, membership services, and account management.
• Process payments and verify transactions.
• Send operational notifications (including push notifications).
• Analyze performance, diagnose crashes, and improve the App.
• Comply with legal obligations and protect against fraud or misuse.

4. How we share information

We may share information with service providers who process data on our behalf, including:

• Payment processing (e.g. PayTabs) to complete transactions.
• Google services used in the App (maps, analytics, crash reporting).
• Push notification providers (e.g. OneSignal).

We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of JDA, users, or the public.

5. Data security

We use encryption in transit and industry-standard safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

6. Data retention

We retain information for as long as needed to provide the App, meet membership and legal requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When no longer needed, we delete or anonymize information where practicable.

7. Your choices and deletion requests

• You can control location, camera, and notification permissions in your device settings.
• To request deletion of your account and associated data, visit https://www.jda.org.jo or contact us using the details above.
• You may also request deletion of certain App data without deleting your full account via the same contact channels.

8. Children’s privacy

The App is intended for adults (18+) who are dentists or related professional users. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. International processing

Service providers may process data in countries other than Jordan. Where that occurs, we take steps designed to ensure appropriate protection consistent with this policy.

10. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
