Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the mobile application provided by Gouji VPN (the 'App') handles personal information. We collect, use, and protect only the data needed to operate the service and reduce processing that is unrelated to the service.

When you download, launch, or use the App, we may collect necessary operational data, including Internet Protocol (IP) address, device operating system version, in-app paths, session duration, and approximate location. This data is used for: 1. Connection recommendations based on Gouji VPN node status and regional network conditions; 2. Performance optimization through anonymized aggregate data about crashes, latency, and regional failures; 3. Service notices sent to your registered email or account when updates, security alerts, or account messages are necessary.

We only transmit anonymized or aggregated data to necessary third-party service providers, such as Google Play Services and Firebase, for crash analysis, statistics, and feature improvement. We do not share identifiable personal information except where required by legal process, regulatory obligations, user or public safety, fraud investigation, or service providers bound by confidentiality obligations. To stop new data collection, uninstall the App through your device's standard process.

User-provided data is retained during the service period and for a reasonable retention period afterward. If you need to cancel your account or delete your personal profile, contact our privacy team at [email protected]. The App is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from that group. If such data is discovered, we will take deletion measures. We use appropriate access controls, encrypted transmission, and operational safeguards to protect data.

This Privacy Policy may be updated because of legal, product, or operational changes. Please review this page periodically; continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms. This policy takes effect on October 4, 2025. For questions about privacy handling, contact the Gouji VPN team by email at [email protected].
