App Nature & Overview
Welcome to KKF Remitter Info (developed by KKF Developer / Fasil). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any data associated with your use of the application.
KKF Remitter Info is a dedicated mobile utility and comparison tool providing real-time foreign currency exchange rates, Middle East remittance provider rate/fee comparisons, historical trend charts, and conversion calculators across major Gulf corridors (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman) and global destinations (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines, Egypt, Indonesia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Yemen, Morocco).
Strict Non-Transactional Classification: KKF Remitter Info is solely an exchange-rate information and comparison application. The app does NOT process money transfers, send remittances, deposit or withdraw money, hold customer funds, or perform banking transactions. It serves as an informational reference tool to assist users in making independent financial decisions elsewhere.
No Account or Registration Required: You do not need to register, create an account, provide an email address, or enter bank credentials to access any feature in KKF Remitter Info.
Information We Collect
We adhere to strict data minimization principles. KKF Remitter Info only processes the minimum data strictly required to deliver its core informational features:
Zero Personal Data
We do not collect names, phone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses, or government identification documents (such as Civil ID, Iqama, or Passport numbers).
Zero Financial Accounts
We do not collect, store, or transmit bank account numbers, credit/debit card numbers, CVVs, transaction histories, or payment PINs.
Local Preferences Only
Your selected origin/destination countries, preferred app language, dark/light theme setting, and cached rate values are stored locally on your device.
Technical & Diagnostics Data: When querying rate endpoints or Google Play Services, standard non-identifiable technical data (such as Android OS version, device model, and network connectivity state) is processed to fulfill secure network requests.
How We Use Information
Any data processed by KKF Remitter Info is strictly used for the following legitimate purposes:
- Displaying Live Exchange Rates: Fetching and rendering real-time benchmark rates, exchange house rankings, and interactive trend charts.
- Local Currency Conversion: Calculating estimated currency values on-device using user-entered numbers without transmitting calculation inputs to external servers.
- Restoring Preferences: Remembering your chosen base country (e.g. SAR, AED) and destination corridor between app sessions.
- Supporter Entitlements: Verifying ad-free or supporter tier status through the standard Google Play Billing API.
- Serving Advertisements: Displaying contextual or non-personalized banner ads via Google AdMob for free tier users (supporter tiers are 100% ad-free).
Local Data Storage
All user configurations and cached exchange values are stored directly on your physical device using Android's encrypted Jetpack DataStore and standard app-private internal storage.
- On-Device Sandbox Isolation: Data stored by KKF Remitter Info is sandboxed within the application's private internal storage directory, inaccessible to other apps installed on the device.
- No Remote User Database: We do not operate central cloud databases that store user profiles, tracking records, or calculation history.
Data Security & Encryption
We implement robust technical and architectural measures to safeguard all operations:
- Enforced HTTPS Encryption: All rate queries, API endpoints, and communications with Google Play / AdMob servers are strictly enforced over HTTPS (TLS 1.2 / TLS 1.3).
- No Insecure Cleartext Traffic: Cleartext HTTP traffic is disabled in production builds via Android Network Security Configuration.
- Sandboxed Execution: The application runs within the standard Android security architecture sandbox.
Android Permissions
KKF Remitter Info requests only the bare minimum permissions necessary to function properly:
| Permission | Type | Purpose & Technical Justification |
|---|---|---|
android.permission.INTERNET |
Normal | Required to securely fetch live mid-market exchange rates, query exchange house rates, verify Google Play Billing status, and load AdMob banner ads over encrypted HTTPS. |
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE |
Normal | Required to check whether the device has an active Wi-Fi or mobile data connection before dispatching rate requests, avoiding network timeouts and preserving battery life. |
No Sensitive Permissions Requested: KKF Remitter Info never requests sensitive Android permissions such as Precise/Coarse GPS Location, Camera, Microphone, Read Contacts, Phone State, SMS, or External Storage access.
Backup and Restore
In accordance with our privacy-first philosophy, KKF Remitter Info sets android:allowBackup="false" within its application manifest.
This setting guarantees that your cached preferences, temporary rates, and local device state are not automatically exported to external unencrypted backup archives or transferred across devices during generic system backup operations.

KKF Remitter Info integrates trusted industry-standard SDKs to deliver monetization, billing, and rate synchronization. These third parties process technical identifiers in accordance with their respective privacy policies:
Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)

Data Retention and Deletion
Because KKF Remitter Info does not maintain user accounts or personal profiles on central cloud servers, all your data resides locally on your smartphone or tablet.
Instant Data Deletion: You can completely erase all local settings, saved preferences, and cached rates at any time by simply navigating to Android Settings → Apps → KKF Remitter Info → Storage → Clear Data / Clear Cache, or by uninstalling the application from your device.
