01 Introduction & Scope of This Policy

Gowim ("we", "Platform", "company") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal information of all users who access or use our services at gowim.net and the Gowim mobile app.

Gowim does not use your data to make automated decisions that materially affect you without human review, except for security and fraud detection purposes that require an immediate response.

04 Information Sharing & Disclosure

Gowim does not sell, rent, or transfer your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes. This is an absolute commitment that cannot be compromised.

However, there are limited situations where we may need to share your information with certain parties:
