Last updated: September 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Gokoro Apps LLC ("Gokoro Apps", "we", "our", "us") collects, uses, and protects personal data when you use the Nostaly mobile application ("the App").

The App helps you declutter your photo library by reviewing a small selection of photos each day.

• Crash logs and errors
• Advertising identifiers (for ad personalization)
• Timezone (for daily reminders)

Analytics data is sent to our servers in anonymous, aggregated form. We cannot identify individual users from this data. Analytics are used solely to understand usage patterns and improve the App.
