Currently, GoinOn collects information in the following ways:

  • Information you voluntarily share
  • Information we receive from your usage

Information You Share

GoinOn only collects information you provide. When you create an account, you volunteer information to us such as your name, birthdate, phone number, email and password. When using GoinOn to post images and comments, you’re also sharing the content of these posts and comments with us. GoinOn stores this information safely and securely and does not sell your information to third parties.

When contacting GoinOn for support, you volunteer the information you share to be stored and used to resolve your issue.

Information We Receive

GoinOn is able to view certain user behaviors such as images you view, images you like and images you comment on, as well as the groups you are a part of, those who you invite to groups, and those you list as friends.

Device Info

GoinOn collects and stores information about the device you are using including but not limited to: information about your hardware and software, operating system, operating system version, app version, browser type, language, and time zone.

How Information Is Used by GoinOn

GoinOn uses the information we collect first and foremost to continually provide the best products and services for our users and continuously improve upon these products and services. GoinOn does not sell, rent, or share your information with any third-parties.

To break that down a little further, we use this information to:

  • Plan, develop and maintain our products and services
  • Communicate with our users, for example by email regarding promotional content and technical content
  • Analyze behavioral and usage trends
  • Provide security and privacy on our products and services
  • Fix and resolve technical issues on our products and services

Currently, GoinOn only shares your information internally within the app to other GoinOn users - for example, when a user searches for a username, invites you by a username, etc. We do not share personal information such as emails or passwords. You also participate in sharing your information such as your username, image content, emoji bio, and comments when you actively participate in the application by joining and/or posting to a group. Other users may also be able to see whether or not you’ve viewed images on the application.

As our products evolve over time, we may share further information that is shared on your profile to help your friends interact with you better.

From time to time, GoinOn may distribute surveys about the user experience and ask for feedback. Your feedback will be used to make improvements to our products and services.

Policies around information sharing is subject to change, and will be updated as necessary.

Storage of Your Information

GoinOn stores your information securely on our servers. While images disappear from the group stories after 72 hours, they are retained on our servers for a longer period of time.

Your personal information - such as you name, email, password, username - is stored on our servers until you request we delete it. Upon requesting deletion, we will make sure your request is processed in a timely manner. We cannot promise that the deletion of data will occur in a specific timeframe. Lastly, there may be legal obligation for us to retain a backup of your data in the event your account is in question of violating our Terms of Service.
