Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Covo ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the Covo mobile application (the "App" or the "Service").
By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Information We Collect
We do not collect personal information such as your name, address, phone number, or biometric identifiers. We collect only the minimum data required to operate the App and deliver its functionality.
1.1. User Content
- Photos you upload (your room photo)
- Reference images you choose to guide a design
- Style, mood, and scope preferences, and optional free-text notes (e.g. "make it warmer")
- Generated results and the projects and wishlist you save
Your uploaded photos are sent to a third-party AI service for processing. See Section 7 for details.
1.2. Technical Data (Non-Personal)
Collected automatically:
- Device type and OS version
- App version
- Anonymous technical identifiers (a Firebase Anonymous Authentication user ID and Firebase Installation ID)
- Crash logs and performance metrics
- Basic usage analytics (via Firebase Analytics)
These identifiers cannot identify you as an individual, and are removed when you delete the App or ask us to delete your data (see Section 4).
1.3. Subscription Data
When purchasing a subscription, we receive:
- Subscription status (active, expired, trial)
- Anonymous transaction identifiers (from the App Store)
We never receive or store your credit card details.
2. No User Accounts
The App operates without user accounts or sign-in.
- You do not need to create an account to use the App
- We do not collect email addresses, names, or login credentials
- Access is tied to an anonymous identifier created automatically on first launch — all users are anonymous
3. How We Use the Data
Data is used solely to:
- operate the App and its design features
- generate room redesigns and suggest matching products
- store your photos, designs, projects, and wishlist so you can return to them
- maintain performance and fix crashes
- enable subscriptions and restore purchases
- support users who contact us
- send your uploaded photos to a third-party AI service to generate designs — this is the core functionality of the App
We do not use your content for our own AI training or dataset creation, and we do not use it for advertising. For details on how third-party providers handle data during processing, please refer to their respective privacy policies.
4. Storage and Deletion of Photos and Files
4.1. Storage
Uploaded photos, reference images, and generated results are stored on our servers (Google Cloud, United States) to enable the Service.
- They are saved to your projects and remain until you delete them
- When you delete a photo or design in the App, it is permanently removed from our servers
- We do not keep backups of deleted files
4.2. Deleting Your Data
You can delete an individual project in the App at any time, which removes that project's photos and designs. To delete all of your stored data at once, email us at hello@appcovo.com and we will permanently delete:
- all your projects, designs, and wishlist items
- all your uploaded photos and generated images
- your subscription record in our system
- your anonymous identifier
Deleting the App also removes your anonymous session from the device. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. We reserve the right to remove stored content after a prolonged period of inactivity to manage server resources, so we recommend saving important designs to your device.
Your Apple subscription is billed by Apple and must be cancelled separately in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Deleting your Covo data does not cancel an Apple subscription.
5. Subscriptions and Payment Processing
All subscription purchases are processed through the Apple App Store.
We receive only:
- Subscription status (active, expired, trial)
- Anonymous transaction identifiers
We never receive your credit card details, Apple ID email, billing address, or any payment information. Subscription management (cancellation, refunds) is handled entirely by Apple.
New Users:
- Each new user receives one free design
- After the free design, continued design generation requires an active subscription
Covo Subscription:
- Monthly — $9.99 USD / month (or local equivalent)
- Annual — $39.99 USD / year (or local equivalent)
- A subscription provides unlimited design generations
Auto-Renewal:
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the billing period
6. Age Requirements
The App is rated 4+ on the App Store and does not contain age-restricted content.
The App is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.
7. Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent user data.
We only share minimal required data with service providers that help operate the App, such as:
- Google Cloud Platform (cloud hosting, storage, and image processing)
- Firebase (Anonymous Authentication, database, Analytics)
- Google Generative AI services (AI-powered image generation and processing)
- RevenueCat (subscription management)
- Apple (App Store distribution and in-app purchases)
- Amazon Associates (affiliate link tracking, only after you tap a product link — see Section 7.2)
These providers cannot use your data for their own purposes. We may disclose limited information only if required by law.
7.1. Third-Party AI Data Processing
The App uses third-party AI services provided by Google to generate room designs. When you use any generation feature:
- Your uploaded room photo (and any reference photo you add) is transmitted to Google's AI services for processing
- The AI service processes the image and returns the generated result
- For details on how Google handles data, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy
- By agreeing to the in-app privacy notice, you consent to this data transmission
Photos are processed only to fulfil your request. Per Google's API terms, photos sent to the Gemini API are not used to train Google's models. These providers are contractually required to handle your data in accordance with applicable data protection standards and their own privacy policies, which provide protections consistent with this Privacy Policy.
7.2. Shopping Links and Amazon
Covo suggests real products you can buy. Product links point to Amazon. When you tap a product link, you leave Covo and open Amazon (in your browser or the Amazon app). From that point, Amazon collects and processes your information under Amazon's own privacy notice, which we do not control.
We do not share your personal information with Amazon. Affiliate tracking works through a tag inside the link, and Amazon reports only aggregate, non-identifying commission data back to us. As an Amazon Associate, Covo earns from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.
8. Security
We use industry-standard safeguards:
- encrypted data transmission (TLS/HTTPS)
- restricted, rule-based access to servers (Firebase Security Rules)
- API keys stored in a secrets manager
- anonymous authentication, so there are no passwords to store
- routine monitoring for anomalies
No system is fully immune to risks, but we take reasonable measures to protect stored data.
9. User Rights
Users may:
- delete photos or generated results at any time
- delete individual projects in the App, and email us to remove all stored data and the anonymous identifier
- contact support for assistance
Since we do not collect or store personal data (no accounts, no emails, no names), certain data protection rights (such as data correction or export) have limited application.
For California Residents (CCPA/CPRA): California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act. Categories of information we collect include device identifiers, usage data, and user-generated content (photos). We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You may request deletion of your data by contacting hello@appcovo.com.
For European and UK Users (GDPR): If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and restrict processing of your data. Our legal bases for processing are your consent (uploading photos for processing) and our legitimate interest (operating the Service). To exercise your rights, contact hello@appcovo.com.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Effective date" at the top will reflect the latest revision. Continued use of the App after changes means acceptance of the updated Policy.
