Privacy Policy for Glorva

I. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Glorva (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our app and related services. Glorva is designed as a local reading management tool, and the app is intended to work offline with user data stored primarily on the device. We aim to minimize the information we handle and to give you control over your content, notes, reading progress, and preferences.

By using Glorva, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to the practices described here.

II. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures may include device-level storage protections, access controls, limited retention, and secure handling of data during any necessary processing.

Because much of your content is stored locally on your device, the security of your data also depends on your device settings, passcode, operating system protections, and whether you back up or share your device. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to reduce risk through careful design and limited data handling.

III. How We Use Information

We use information only for operating, maintaining, and improving the app’s core reading and note-taking features, such as saving your book records, tracking reading progress, displaying excerpts and notes, managing booklists, and showing reading statistics.

We do not use your information for advertising. We do not use your information for user profiling. We do not sell your information. We do not rent or trade your information. We do not use any user data for AI training or model optimization.

Any AI-related processing, if used at all, is performed exclusively on our own internal servers and only for the limited purpose of operating the app’s features. We do not use third-party AI services to process user data.

IV. Data Retention

We keep information only for as long as necessary to provide the app’s functions and meet the purposes described in this Policy.

If you delete content within the app, it is removed from your local data store, subject to any remaining copies that may exist in device backups you control.

V. Children's Privacy

Glorva is intended for users who are 17 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 17. If we learn that information from a user under 17 has been collected, we will take appropriate steps to delete it as soon as reasonably possible.

VI. Changes to Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, features, legal requirements, or security measures. When we make changes, we may update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice in the app.

Your continued use of Glorva after an updated policy becomes effective means you accept the revised version.

VII. Face Data / Biometric Information

Glorva does not perform facial recognition, biometric analysis, or identity matching based on facial features. We do not create face templates, biometric templates, or similar identifiers. If any image is temporarily processed for an app feature, it is used only to complete that feature and is deleted after processing is finished.

VIII. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the app, we may collect the following categories of information:

Most reading content and preferences are stored locally on your device.

IX. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade user data. We do not share any user-uploaded or user-generated content with any third party for their own purposes.

We may use a limited number of third-party service providers only for infrastructure functions such as cloud storage, server hosting, or basic operational support. These providers act solely on our behalf and under our instructions, are bound by contractual obligations to protect data security, and are not permitted to use user data for any purpose beyond what we instruct.

Third parties are not allowed to use data for advertising, user profiling, AI training, model optimization, redistribution, independent access, or their own purposes. They may not independently access or use user content except as necessary to perform the specific infrastructure service we have authorized.

X. AI Processing

Any AI processing associated with Glorva is performed exclusively on our internal servers. We do not use third-party AI services to process user data.

AI processing is limited to the specific feature being used and is not used for advertising, profiling, selling data, or training models. Processed data is deleted after the task is completed unless it is intentionally saved by you as part of your own history or notes.

We do not use user content to train or improve external AI models, and we do not allow third parties to do so on our behalf.

XI. User Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

XII. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in different regions depending on where you are located and where our infrastructure providers operate. When data is transferred across borders, we take reasonable steps to ensure it remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Any service providers handling data on our behalf are required to protect it under contractual obligations and may only use it as instructed by us.

XIII. User Consent and Acceptance

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Glorva, you confirm that you have read this Privacy Policy and agree to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure practices described here. If you do not agree with this Policy, you should not use the app.
