Effective Date: June 28, 2025
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Goia ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and protects your data when you use our mobile application ("App").
1. Overview
Goia is an AI-powered image editing app. We do not collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information. We only process images temporarily to deliver features like background removal, object/person removal, photo colorization, AI photo restoration, AI photo extension, AI photo upscaling, and AI-generated image enhancements.
2. Data We Collect
We do not collect any personal data from our users. No name, email, contact details, or device-specific identifiers are collected or stored by us.
However, the App uses several third-party services that may process some data as part of their operation:
a. Anonymous Authentication via Firebase
We use Firebase Authentication to assign a unique, anonymous identifier to each user session. This helps us associate temporary storage and processing without identifying you personally.
b. Image Uploads for AI Processing
To use our AI-powered features (including background removal, object/person remover, photo colorizer, AI photo restoration, AI photo extender, AI photo upscaler, and AI background generation), your selected image is temporarily uploaded to Firebase Storage, where it is assigned a temporary URL. This image URL is then sent to our third-party AI service, Replicate, which performs the requested image processing. Your uploaded image is automatically deleted from Firebase immediately after processing is completed.
c. Third-Party AI Services (Replicate)
We use AI models hosted by Replicate, a third-party platform. According to Replicate, uploaded images may be retained on their servers for a limited time before deletion. We do not control how Replicate manages or processes your data. For more details, please review:

Replicate Terms of Use
3. Generated Content Storage
The app displays processed images and cutouts in a custom "Library" section. These images are saved locally on your device and are also made accessible via a dedicated folder in your Photo Library (with your permission). We do not upload or store these images on any server.
4. Advertisements and Third-Party SDKs
We use Google AdMob to serve ads within the App. AdMob may collect certain non-personal data (e.g., ad performance metrics, approximate location, device information) in accordance with their privacy policies.
For details, please refer to the Google Privacy & Terms. You can control personalized ad preferences through your device settings.
5. How We Protect Your Data
Although we do not store user data permanently, we take reasonable steps to:
Minimize data exposure by deleting uploaded images immediately after processing.
Avoid any collection of unnecessary information.
Use only trusted third-party services with public privacy policies.
6. Children’s Privacy
Goia does not knowingly collect or process personal data from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided any information, please contact us immediately.
7. Your Consent
By using Goia, you consent to this privacy policy and the processing of images as described.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage users to check this page periodically for any updates.
