Viko is the premium GPU-accelerated photo editor built for creative minds of all skill levels, designed to turn everyday snapshots into stunning crystal-inspired art pieces in seconds. Our product features advanced physics-based optical refraction effects, glossy liquid glass textures, precision crystal cutting filters, vivid neon dispersion effects, and an innovative interactive mirror symmetry axis editing tool.
We take your privacy extremely seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the full control you have over your information when using Viko. We are committed to full transparency and will never process your data in ways that are not clearly outlined in this policy.
What Information We Collect
We only collect data that is necessary to deliver and improve the Viko experience, and never collect more than we need:
Optional Account Information: You are not required to create an account to use core Viko editing features. If you choose to register to sync custom presets or save edited works across devices, we will only collect the email address you voluntarily provide.
Image & Editing Data: All core editing processing, including real-time rendering of refraction effects, symmetry axis adjustments, and filter calibration based on your photo's unique light, color and composition, happens locally on your device. We never access or store photos from your camera roll unless you explicitly choose to import them into the app, or enable optional cloud sync for your edited content.
Device Performance Data: We collect anonymized, non-identifiable data about your device's GPU performance, screen resolution and operating system version to optimize our accelerated rendering algorithms for your hardware, ensuring smooth real-time previews of our crystal, glass and neon effects.
Anonymous Usage Analytics: We collect de-identified data about feature usage (for example, how often our liquid glass or crystal cutting effects are used) to help us prioritize improvements to our curated effect collection and editing interface.
How We Use Your Information
All data we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:
Deliver core editing functionality, including local processing of your photos to apply our signature optical effects and real-time symmetry axis adjustments
Optimize app performance and fix bugs, ensuring our GPU-accelerated algorithms run smoothly on your device
Improve our effect library and editing experience, based on anonymous usage patterns of features like our neon dispersion and liquid glass textures
Respond to your support requests or feedback if you choose to contact us
We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information or original photo content with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes without your explicit written consent.
Your Control Over Your Data
You have full, unrestricted control over all data associated with your use of Viko:
You can revoke permission for Viko to access your camera roll at any time through your device settings, which will only disable photo import functionality and not impact other app features
You can delete all locally cached editing history, imported photos and custom presets directly from the Viko settings menu at any time
If you have enabled cloud sync, you can request permanent deletion of all your cloud-stored content and account data at any time, with no residual copies retained on our servers
You can opt out of all anonymous usage analytics collection through the app settings with one tap, with no impact to your editing experience
Data Security
We implement industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect any data you choose to share with us. All content transferred between your device and our cloud servers is encrypted in transit, and all stored cloud content is encrypted at rest.
We only share data with third-party service providers who are bound by strict data protection obligations, and who are not permitted to access or use your personal data for any purpose other than providing services to Viko. We will only disclose your data if required by applicable legal obligations.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes to our product features or data processing practices. We will notify all users of any changes via an in-app notification at least 30 days before the updated policy takes effect. Your continued use of Viko after the effective date of the updated policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
