Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 14, 2026
Last updated: July 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored, shared, and protected when you use the GoWee mobile application, website, and related services.

1. Who We Are

GoWee is operated by Pavel Daushko, an individual based in the Republic of Lithuania (“GoWee”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

Pavel Daushko is the data controller responsible for the processing of personal data described in this Privacy Policy.

Contact: support@gowee.ai

2. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the GoWee mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

GoWee helps users discover cities, generate personalized walking routes, follow routes, discover places, and access stories and audio content.

3. Age Restriction

The Service is intended for users aged 18 or older.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from users under 18. If we learn that personal data from a person under 18 has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If you believe a minor has provided personal data to GoWee, contact us at support@gowee.ai.

4. Personal Data We Collect

The data collected depends on the features you use.

4.1 Account and Authentication Data

When you sign in using Google Sign-In, we may process:

  • your name;
  • email address;
  • profile image or avatar, if provided;
  • Google authentication identifier;
  • authentication and session information; and
  • account creation and last-access information.

We do not receive or store your Google password.

4.2 Profile and Preference Data

We may process information you provide or select, including:

  • language;
  • country or city;
  • interests;
  • travel style;
  • preferred route duration or distance;
  • walking pace;
  • mood or content preferences; and
  • other route-generation preferences.

4.3 Route and Usage Data

We may process information concerning:

  • generated routes and trips;
  • selected cities and points of interest;
  • saved, started, completed, liked, disliked, skipped, or removed route points;
  • route status and completion information;
  • route history;
  • audio and story interactions;
  • screen views and feature interactions; and
  • feedback, ratings, or support requests.

4.4 Location Data

GoWee may use precise device location while you generate or actively follow a route.

Location may be used to:

  • determine your position relative to route points;
  • display nearby places;
  • support route progress;
  • provide route-related navigation functionality; and
  • improve the active walking experience.

According to the current design of the Service, GoWee does not intentionally store a continuous history of raw real-time coordinates on its servers for advertising or general analytics.

The Service may store route-related events or history, such as whether a route was generated, started, progressed, or completed. Depending on implementation, these events may include place or route identifiers but are not intended to create a continuous movement profile.

You can manage location permissions through device settings. Some or all route features may not function without location permission.

We do not sell location data or use precise location for advertising.

4.5 Device, Log, and Technical Data

We may automatically process technical data needed to operate, secure, diagnose, and improve the Service, including:

  • device type and operating system;
  • application version;
  • IP address;
  • approximate location derived from IP address;
  • device or installation identifiers;
  • timestamps;
  • authentication and security events;
  • crash reports;
  • error reports;
  • performance information; and
  • server and application logs.

4.6 Analytics Data

We may process product analytics concerning use of the Service, such as:

  • application opens;
  • onboarding completion;
  • city selection;
  • route generation, start, and completion;
  • audio playback;
  • feature usage;
  • screen views;
  • errors and crashes; and
  • aggregated usage patterns.

Where consent is required by applicable law, optional analytics or similar technologies will be activated only after consent is obtained.

4.7 Communications

If you contact us, we may process:

  • your email address;
  • the content of your message;
  • attachments you provide;
  • support history; and
  • information reasonably necessary to respond.

4.8 Subscription and Transaction Data

If you purchase a subscription through Google Play, Google processes the payment.

GoWee may receive limited transaction information, such as:

  • product or subscription identifier;
  • purchase token or transaction reference;
  • subscription status;
  • purchase, renewal, expiry, or cancellation time;
  • country or currency information provided by the platform; and
  • entitlement status.

GoWee does not directly collect or store your full payment card details.

5. Artificial Intelligence Processing

GoWee may use third-party artificial intelligence services to generate or assist with routes, stories, descriptions, translations, recommendations, and other travel-related content.

Information sent for AI processing may include:

  • selected city;
  • language;
  • route parameters;
  • travel preferences;
  • selected points of interest;
  • contextual place information;
  • text prompts or choices you provide; and
  • information necessary to generate the requested content.

We aim to minimize personal data included in AI requests and do not intentionally send passwords or full payment information to AI providers.

AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, fictional, outdated, or unsuitable for current conditions.

We process personal data for the following purposes and legal bases.

6.1 Performance of a Contract

We process data necessary to:

  • create and manage your account;
  • authenticate you;
  • generate and provide routes;
  • provide location-based route functionality;
  • save preferences and route history;
  • provide stories, audio, and requested AI features;
  • manage subscription entitlements; and
  • respond to service requests.

Where required, we rely on consent for:

  • device location permission;
  • optional analytics;
  • push notifications;
  • marketing communications; and
  • non-essential cookies or tracking technologies.

You may withdraw consent at any time through device settings, application settings, an unsubscribe mechanism, or by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully before withdrawal.

6.3 Legitimate Interests

We may process data where necessary for legitimate interests, including:

  • securing the Service;
  • preventing fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access;
  • investigating errors and incidents;
  • improving reliability and usability;
  • understanding feature performance;
  • protecting legal rights; and
  • maintaining records of support and operational activity.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the impact on users and do not rely on this basis where user rights and interests override those interests.

We may process or retain data where necessary to comply with applicable law, lawful requests, accounting or tax duties, consumer protection requirements, or legal claims.

7. How We Share Personal Data

We may share personal data only where reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Recipients may include:

  • Google Sign-In and authentication providers;
  • cloud hosting, database, storage, and infrastructure providers;
  • map, geolocation, places, and navigation providers;
  • artificial intelligence and text-to-speech providers;
  • analytics, logging, performance monitoring, and crash-reporting providers;
  • Google Play and payment-related providers;
  • email, support, and communications providers;
  • professional legal, accounting, security, or technical advisers; and
  • public authorities where disclosure is required by law.

Service providers are permitted to process data only for agreed purposes and are expected to apply appropriate safeguards.

We do not sell personal data.

8. Third-Party Maps and Place Data

GoWee may use third-party maps, geolocation, places, navigation, ratings, photographs, and place information.

These providers may process location coordinates, map interactions, search queries, selected places, device information, IP addresses, and other technical data according to their own terms and privacy policies.

GoWee does not control the accuracy or availability of third-party map or place data.

9. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process personal data outside Lithuania or the European Economic Area.

Where required, we use or rely on appropriate transfer safeguards, which may include:

  • an adequacy decision;
  • Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission;
  • contractual and organizational safeguards; and
  • technical security measures.

You may contact us for further information about safeguards relevant to your data.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law.

In general:

  • account data, preferences, and route history are retained while your account remains active;
  • subscription entitlement and transaction references may be retained while necessary to provide access, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and comply with legal duties;
  • support communications may be retained while needed to resolve the request and maintain reasonable records;
  • security, error, and technical logs are retained for a limited operational period based on system configuration and security needs; and
  • deleted data may remain temporarily in restricted backups until overwritten through the normal backup cycle.

We will not use backup data to restore a deleted account except where necessary to recover from a security or system incident and only subject to renewed deletion procedures.

We may retain limited data for longer where required by law, needed to establish or defend legal claims, or necessary for fraud and security prevention.

11. Account and Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your GoWee account and associated personal data:

  1. through the account deletion option in the GoWee application, where available; or
  2. by following the instructions on the Account and Data Deletion page.

Deleting the application from your device does not delete your account.

Deleting your GoWee account does not automatically cancel an active Google Play subscription. Subscription cancellation must be completed separately through Google Play.

We may retain limited information where required by law or necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal claims.

12. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • receive information about processing;
  • access your personal data;
  • correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • request deletion;
  • restrict processing;
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests;
  • withdraw consent;
  • receive certain data in a portable format; and
  • lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise a right, contact support@gowee.ai.

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. Under the GDPR, this is generally one month, subject to legally permitted extensions.

You may lodge a complaint with the State Data Protection Inspectorate of the Republic of Lithuania or with the competent supervisory authority in the country where you live, work, or believe an infringement occurred.

13. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data, including measures such as encrypted transmission, access controls, authentication, restricted administrative access, logging, monitoring, and secure infrastructure practices.

No system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and Google account.

14. Automated Decisions

GoWee may use automated systems and AI to personalize or generate route content.

GoWee does not currently intend to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects on users.

15. Cookies and Website Technologies

The GoWee website may use essential cookies or similar technologies for security, language settings, session handling, and basic operation.

Non-essential analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies will be used only where permitted by law and, where required, after consent.

16. Email and Push Notifications

We may send service-related communications concerning account security, support, subscriptions, material Service changes, or legal policies.

Marketing emails will be sent only where legally permitted and will include a method to unsubscribe.

Push notifications, if enabled, can be controlled through device settings.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, maps, applications, or content.

Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or availability of third-party services.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the Service, processing activities, providers, or legal requirements change.

If a change materially affects your rights or the way personal data is used, we will provide notice through the Service, by email, or by another appropriate method where required.

The current version and effective date will be published on this page.
