link type

your link —
generates a t.me/ link. usernames support pre-filled messages; phone and group links open telegram to the contact or channel directly.

bababa is a small collection of useful tools, made with care for arabic-speaking users across the middle east and north africa. it's free, fast, and never shows ads.

we believe utility software should be simple, private, and respectful of your time. no signups, no tracking, no nonsense — just tools that work.

if you find bababa useful, consider supporting the project or sharing it with a friend.

the short version

bababa is built around a simple idea: utility tools should not collect data. most tools run entirely in your browser. nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored on a server, nothing follows you around the web. we don't have user accounts, we don't show ads, we don't sell anything, and we don't share data with third parties.

what data we collect

we collect almost nothing. specifically:

  • no personal information (name, email, phone number)
  • no account data (we don't have accounts)
  • no analytics or tracking cookies
  • no advertising identifiers
  • no record of what you calculated, converted, downloaded, or generated

data stored on your device

your browser stores a small amount of data locally so the site remembers your preferences:

  • your chosen language (english, arabic, french)
  • your chosen theme (light or dark)
  • your favorited tools

this data never leaves your device. clearing your browser data removes it. it's stored using browser localstorage, not cookies.

when does bababa talk to a server

most tools never talk to any server. a few features must, by their nature, fetch data from the internet:

  • currency converter — fetches exchange rates from a public api (e.g., frankfurter, fixer.io)
  • prayer times — fetches city-based prayer times from aladhan.com
  • media downloader — when active, routes media through a stateless relay (cobalt-style)

when these calls happen, no identifier or personal info is sent. your ip address is necessarily visible to those external services to deliver a response, but bababa itself does not log, store, or correlate it with anything.

third parties we depend on

bababa is hosted on a content delivery network (cloudflare) and loads two open-source javascript libraries from a public cdn (jsdelivr) when you open the pdf tools: pdf-lib and pdf.js. these providers may automatically log basic technical information (ip, browser type) to operate their networks. we do not have access to those logs.

how long we keep data

we don't keep any data. there's nothing to delete because nothing was kept.

your rights

under gdpr, morocco's law 09-08, saudi arabia's pdpl, and similar regulations across the mena region, you have rights to access, correct, and delete personal data held about you. since we don't hold any personal data about you, there's nothing to access, correct, or delete on our side. you can manage device-stored preferences yourself by clearing your browser's site data for bababa.world.

children's privacy

bababa is safe for all ages. since we collect no personal information from anyone, we do not knowingly or unknowingly collect data from children.

changes to this policy

if we add features that change how data flows, we'll update this page and the "last updated" date. there's no hidden version history — what's here is what we do.
