Pekko Data Protection Notice

Effective Date: 2026-05-09

Section A – Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Pekko collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the app. Pekko is designed as a personal perfume log and preference analysis tool. It helps you record fragrance usage, review your history, and generate lightweight scene recommendations based on your own records.

We follow data minimization principles and only process information that is needed to provide app functionality. Most user data is stored locally on your device, and you can clear it at any time. Pekko does not operate a social community, does not publish user content, and does not use user data for advertising.

Section B – Data Retention

We keep different categories of information for different periods, depending on their purpose:

You may delete your history and other stored app data at any time through the app settings or by removing the app from your device.

Section C – International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in different countries or regions depending on where our infrastructure or service providers operate. When data is transferred across borders, we take steps to protect it through appropriate technical and contractual safeguards.

These transfers are limited to what is necessary to support app operation, storage, security, and maintenance. We do not transfer your content for advertising or unrelated commercial use.

Section D – Face Data / Biometric Information

Pekko does not perform facial recognition, biometric identification, biometric profiling, or face template creation. The app is not designed to analyze faces or collect biometric identifiers.

If any image is ever processed for export or sharing features, it is handled only for the requested task and is deleted after processing is completed. We do not store face templates or use biometric information for any other purpose.

Section E – Changes to Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app, legal requirements, or technical practices. When we make updates, we will revise the effective date above and may provide an in-app notice or other reasonable notice when appropriate.

Continued use of Pekko after a policy update means you acknowledge the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Section F – AI Processing

All AI-related processing in Pekko is performed exclusively on our own internal servers. We do not use third-party AI services to process user data.

AI outputs are generated only to support fragrance logging, scene recommendations, and summary content based on your own records. Temporary processing data is deleted after completion of the task. We do not use your data for model training, fine-tuning, or model optimization.

Section G – How We Use Information

We use information only to provide and improve the app’s core features, including usage logging, analytics, history management, and scene recommendations based on your own records.

Any analysis or recommendation feature is limited to your personal app data and is not used to target ads or create commercial user profiles.

Section H – 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. We do not use any third-party AI services to process user data. All AI processing is performed exclusively on our own internal servers.

We may use limited third-party infrastructure providers for cloud storage, server hosting, security, or basic technical operations only when necessary. Any such provider acts solely on our behalf and under our instructions, is bound by contractual obligations to protect data security, and is not permitted to use user data for any purpose beyond what we instruct.

These third parties do not use data for advertising, user profiling, AI training, model optimization, their own purposes, redistribution, or independent access to user content. They are not allowed to independently access or reuse your content except as required to provide the contracted service.

Section I – User Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your information. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You can manage your local data through the app’s settings, including deleting records and clearing stored history. If you need help with a request or want to exercise your rights, contact us at apipudin242@outlook.com.

Section J – Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These measures may include access controls, encrypted communications where applicable, secure server configuration, and limited data access.

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. While we work to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Section K – Children's Privacy

Pekko is intended for users who are at least 17 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 17.

If we learn that a user under 17 has provided personal data, we will take appropriate steps to delete it as soon as reasonably possible.

Section L – Information We Collect

Information you provide: We may collect the perfume names, brand names, scent categories, usage occasions, time periods, season tags, mood ratings, notes, and other information you choose to enter. If you contact support, we also collect the content of your message.

Information collected automatically: We may automatically collect limited technical information such as crash logs, device or app diagnostics, and basic usage events needed for app stability and performance.

Cookies and similar technologies: Pekko is primarily a mobile app and does not use advertising cookies. If any similar local storage technology is used, it is only for essential app functionality, such as maintaining settings or session state.

Section M – User Consent and Acceptance

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Pekko, you confirm that you have read this Privacy Policy and agree to the collection and use of information as described here. If you do not agree with this policy, you should not use the app.

Your continued use of Pekko after any update to this policy also means you accept the revised version.
