Privacy Policy

Introduction

Govo is a unique creative playground built for everyone who loves vintage aesthetics and craves quiet mindful relaxation in everyday life. We help you turn casual snapshots into beautifully textured authentic vintage pixel art, offer nostalgic warm filters for your photos, and immersive pixel puzzle mode for you to rebuild your favorite memories.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use Govo's services, and clarifies your rights over your personal data. It applies to all users accessing our services across any device.

Information We Collect

We only collect information that is necessary to provide you with our creative services, which falls into two categories:

• User Content: This includes photos you capture directly in the Govo app, photos you upload from your device, and any creative works (pixel art, filtered photos, puzzle creations) you make using Govo. We do not store your original photos or finished creations on our servers unless you explicitly choose to back up or share your work to our cloud services. All on-device processing of your content stays on your device unless you give permission.
• Non-Personal Usage Data: We automatically collect anonymous usage data to help us improve our services, such as app performance stats, crash reports, device type, and feature usage frequency. This data cannot be linked to you personally and is only used to make Govo more stable and enjoyable for all users.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely to deliver, improve and personalize your creative experience with Govo:

• To provide our core services: generate your custom vintage pixel art, render nostalgic filters, run pixel puzzle mode, and save your creations as you request
• To improve and refine our features: fix technical bugs, develop new creative tools, and make Govo a more calming, user-friendly space for relaxation and memory keeping
• To maintain the safety and integrity of our services, prevent abusive or fraudulent use of our platform
• To communicate with you when you reach out to us with questions or feedback about our services

We never use your personal photos or creative content for advertising or marketing without your explicit consent.

Data Sharing & Disclosure

We value your privacy and will never sell, rent, or share your personal information or your personal creative content to third parties for commercial or marketing purposes. We only share your information in limited circumstances:

• When we are required to disclose information to comply with binding legal requirements
• When you explicitly give us permission to share your content or information with third parties
• With trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating Govo, such as cloud hosting providers and crash reporting tools. These providers are bound by strict privacy agreements and can only use your data to deliver services to us, not for any other purposes.

Your Personal Rights

You retain full control over your data at all times. You have the right to:

• Access any personal information we hold about you
• Update or correct any inaccurate personal information
• Request deletion of any of your personal data or content stored on our servers
• Opt out of non-essential automatic data collection

You can exercise any of these rights at any time by contacting us using the information at the end of this policy.

Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. We regularly update our security practices to keep your information safe. However, please note that no method of data transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed of how we are protecting your privacy.
