1. Introduction

Ogodi Technologies Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the Aely mobile application (“Aely” or the “App”) for iOS and Android. Aely lets you pick photos from your device, apply film-inspired and AI-powered photo styles, and save edited images to your camera roll.

This Privacy Policy explains what information is involved when you use Aely, how it is handled, and your choices. Aely is designed to work without user accounts — we do not ask for your name, email address, or phone number to use the App.

2. Who This Policy Applies To

Aely is intended for users aged 4 and older. If you are under the age required to consent to online services in your country, you should use Aely only with a parent or guardian's permission. Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising a child's use of the App and any in-app purchases.

3. Information We Process

Aely does not collect user-specific personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, postal address, or phone number.

3.1 Information Stored on Your Device

The App stores certain preferences and content locally on your device, including:

  • Whether you have completed onboarding
  • Your selected age range during onboarding (stored as a category label, not verified identity)
  • Your in-app gallery index (references to original and edited photo files on your device)
  • Your favourite filter selections
  • Pending photo-processing job metadata

This information stays on your device unless you delete it or uninstall the App.

3.2 Photos and Camera Access

With your permission, Aely accesses photos from your camera roll or camera. Photos you choose to edit are processed on your device or, when you use AI-powered styles, temporarily sent to our servers for processing. Edited photos can be saved back to your device photo library. We do not build a cloud photo library of your images.

3.3 Temporary Server Processing (AI Styles)

When you use AI-powered photo styles (“Develop”), a compressed copy of your selected image is sent over an encrypted connection to our backend service hosted on Railway. The image is forwarded to Google Gemini solely to generate the styled result. Processing jobs are held in server memory for up to 24 hours to support status polling and then automatically removed. We do not permanently store your photos on our servers.

3.4 Subscriptions and Purchases

Aely Pro subscriptions and in-app purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription entitlements and virtual currency (AELY tokens) tied to an anonymous app user identifier generated by RevenueCat (for example, $RCAnonymousID:…). RevenueCat does not receive your name, email, or other personally identifying information from Aely. We use this anonymous identifier only to verify an active subscription and token balance when you use paid AI features.

3.5 App Updates

The App may check for updates through Expo Application Services (EAS) to deliver bug fixes and improvements. This may involve standard device and app version metadata required for update delivery.

3.6 Support Communications

If you contact us by email at aely@ogoditechnologies.com, we receive the information you choose to include in your message solely to respond to your enquiry.

9. Security

We use HTTPS/TLS for data in transit. AI processing jobs are not written to permanent server storage.

10. Children's Privacy

Aely is rated for ages 4+ and does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. Parents and guardians should supervise children's use and manage in-app purchases through device parental controls.

11. AI-Generated Results

AI-powered styles produce artistic interpretations of your photos for creative and entertainment purposes only. They are not professional photography, legal, medical, or other expert advice.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of Aely after an update means you accept the revised policy.
