Terms of Service

Operator: Lee Jacob Yan Chak, an individual developer · Governing law: Hong Kong SAR · Contact: support@krownapps.info

In force from 21 October 2026.

First written 27 July 2026, and last corrected against the app (version 2.5.0) and the running database on 9 October 2026. The text about the photo check was added on 21 October 2026. Last updated 21 October 2026.

Krown is built and run by one person, not by a company. There is no corporate entity behind it, and these terms are an agreement between you and that individual.

Who can use Krown

You must be 13 or older. You are responsible for the account you sign in with, whether you use a phone number, Apple or Google.

Your content

Your photos stay yours. You give Krown permission to store and display them, with their clips, for the sole purpose of running the game — showing them to the group you posted them in, running that night's result, and checking photos for safety with Amazon Rekognition. Nothing more. Krown does not publish your photos anywhere outside your group.

When one of your own photos wins, Krown can make it into a winner card for you to share. Only you can make a card from your photo, Krown makes it on your phone, and you decide where it goes.

What is not allowed

The Community Guidelines are part of these terms.

Moderation

Every photo you post is checked automatically before your group can see it. Krown sends the photo to Amazon Rekognition for the check. There are three outcomes:

• Nothing found. The photo is shown to your group.
• A clear problem. The photo is hidden for good, and it does not count toward the group streak.
• Anything unclear. The photo stays hidden until a person at Krown has looked at it.

If the check cannot run, the photo stays hidden. The Privacy Policy says what is sent and how long the result is kept.

Reporting a photo hides it immediately and takes it out of that night's scoring. It then goes into a queue for review, and the outcome is one of two things: the report is upheld and the photo stays hidden, or it is dismissed and the photo is put back. A photo hidden by a mistaken or malicious report can therefore be restored — but only by a reviewer, not by the person who posted it.

Separately, the person who created a group can remove a member from that group, and says yes or no when someone asks to join through a card.

This section describes only what Krown can actually do today. There is no mechanism to suspend or close someone's account for breaking these terms, and this page will not claim otherwise; the enforcement tools that exist are the ones listed above. If an account-level sanction is added later, it will be described here before it is used.

Moderation is carried out by one person, not a staffed team, and no review time is promised here because none has been tested.

Availability

Krown is provided as-is. Features may change, and the service may be unavailable at times. The nightly reveal depends on scheduled processing and can be delayed.

Purchases

Krown is free. Every part of the daily game — posting your three photos, voting, the nightly crown, joining and creating groups — costs nothing, and that is not planned to change.

Optional paid extras may be offered in the future. If they are, they will unlock only cosmetic, archival or convenience features — things like keeping your group’s full photo history, visual themes, prompt packs or app icons. Nothing that affects the game is for sale, ever: no purchase will change scores, votes, results, streaks or who wins, grant extra votes, or reveal anything early.

Who voted, and how, is never for sale. Votes in Krown are anonymous to your group, and no product, paid or free, will ever offer to unmask them or sell “hints” about them.

Any future subscription or purchase would be billed by Apple through your App Store account, with the price, duration and auto-renewal terms shown before you buy; you would cancel any subscription in your App Store subscription settings, and refunds would be handled by Apple under App Store rules. Paid extras, like everything else in Krown, are for users aged 13 and over.

Ending your account

You can delete your account in the app at any time.

Liability

Krown is provided as-is, as the Availability section says. To the extent the law allows, Krown is not liable for any loss that comes from using Krown, or from not being able to use it.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that the law does not allow to be excluded or limited, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Nothing in them takes away a right that the law does not let you give up.

Governing law and disputes

The laws of the Hong Kong SAR govern these terms. Any dispute about them, or about Krown, is heard by the courts of the Hong Kong SAR.

Changes

When these terms change, Krown announces the change in the app or on this site before it applies. The new text says the date it comes into force. The current text always lives at this address.
