Jova

1. Information We Collect

First and foremost: we do NOT collect any of your creative work or personal identifiable information as part of standard app usage:

• No account or login is required to use Jova, so we never ask for your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal details to access full app functionality
• All of your custom particle settings (count, lifespan, trail length, movement speed, field strength, decay, etc.), imported reference images, saved art pieces, creation process replays, and aesthetic preference adjustments are stored exclusively on your local device. We never upload, access, or store any of these assets on our servers unless you explicitly choose to share them with third parties outside of the app yourself.
• We do not track your in-app creative activity, so no record of what you create, how you use the tools, or how often you open the app is ever sent to our teams.

The only extremely limited information we may ever collect is:

• Anonymous, de-identified crash logs and performance diagnostics, only if you opt in to share this data with us. This information only includes technical details about app errors and device specs, no personal information or creative content, and is used solely to fix bugs and improve app performance for all users.
• Contact information you voluntarily provide to us when you reach out for support, give feedback, or report an issue. We only collect the information you choose to send us, and use it solely to respond to your request.

2. How We Use Your Information

We only use the small amount of information we collect for the following purposes:

• To fix technical issues, optimize app performance, and roll out new features that improve your creative experience with Jova
• To respond to your support requests, feedback submissions, or questions you send to our team
• We will never use your information to send you unsolicited marketing messages, sell or rent your information to any third party for any reason, or use your creative work for our own promotional purposes without your explicit written permission.

3. Third-Party Services

Jova may include optional integrations with third-party platforms (for example, options to share your finished art directly to social media or messaging apps). Please note that when you use these optional sharing features, any information you choose to share through those platforms is governed by the privacy policy of the respective third-party service, and we have no control over their data practices.

We do not share any of your personal or creative data with these third parties automatically, and all sharing actions are initiated exclusively by you.

4. Your Control Over Your Data

You have full, unrestricted control over all data associated with your use of Jova:

• All creative content stored locally on your device can be edited, exported, deleted, or shared at any time at your discretion, with no limitations from us. You retain full ownership of all art you create with Jova, as outlined in our Terms of Use.
• You can erase all local data stored by Jova at any time through your device's app settings. Once you delete this data, it is permanently removed and we have no backup copy of your work.
• If you have previously contacted us and shared your contact information, you can reach out to us at any time to request that we permanently delete all records of your correspondence from our systems.

5. Data Security

We have implemented industry-standard technical safeguards to protect the small amount of data we may collect, and designed Jova to minimize data transmission to our servers by default. Your locally stored creative data is protected by your device's built-in security features (passcodes, biometric locks, encryption), and we do not have access to this content.

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your information, no digital security system is completely impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted voluntarily over the internet.

6. Children's Privacy

Jova is intended for use by users of all ages, but we do not knowingly collect any personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and become aware that your child has provided us with personal information, you can contact us immediately and we will promptly delete all such records from our systems.

7. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our app features, data practices, or community requirements. When we make updates, we will revise the effective date listed at the top of this policy and notify you of changes via an in-app notice the next time you open Jova. Your continued use of the app after updates are posted constitutes your agreement to the revised terms.
