We collect content you create or share, including posts, news updates, comments, reactions, images, videos, audio, profile information, group content, reports, and chat messages.

We may collect device type, operating system, app version, IP address, approximate location, crash logs, diagnostics, pages viewed, features used, and interaction events to secure, improve, and maintain the service.

2.5 Location Data

We may collect approximate location based on IP address. If the app requests precise location, we will ask for permission and use it only for features clearly described in the app.

2.6 Contacts, Camera, Microphone, Photos, and Storage

If the app requests access to contacts, camera, microphone, photos, or storage, access will be used only for the feature requested by the user, such as uploading media, recording content, or finding contacts, where applicable.

2.7 Purposes of Processing

• Create and manage user accounts.
• Enable posts, news updates, comments, reactions, chats, and community interaction.

• Send service notifications, security alerts, and support messages.
• Detect, prevent, and respond to spam, fraud, abuse, illegal content, impersonation, child exploitation, and platform misuse.
• Comply with legal obligations and app store requirements.
• Analyze performance, fix bugs, and improve app reliability.

3. Data Sharing, Security, Retention, and International Transfers

3.1 Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We may share information only in the following cases:

• With service providers who help us host, secure, analyze, moderate, or operate the app.
• With law enforcement, regulators, child protection organizations, or courts where legally required or necessary for safety.
• With other users when you post publicly, comment, react, message, or share profile information.
• During a business transfer such as merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, subject to privacy protections.

3.2 Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, including access controls, encryption in transit where applicable, monitoring, backups, and abuse prevention. No system is 100% secure, and users should protect their account credentials.

3.3 Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for service delivery, safety, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and legitimate business purposes. Deleted content may remain in backups for a limited period before permanent removal.

3.4 International Transfers

Because Ogoow may use hosting, cloud, security, analytics, or support providers in different countries, your information may be processed outside your country. We apply reasonable safeguards required by applicable law.

After verifying ownership of the account, we will delete or anonymize personal data unless retention is required for legal, security, fraud prevention, child safety, financial, or dispute resolution reasons.
