Any images you send to us will be used for the purposes of the commissioned service you have ordered and nothing less. Original images are deleted off our systems within 30 days of the report being returned back to the customer, however we reserve the right to keep customer’s completed reports in the archive for upto a year for referencing purposes.

Our strict rules on privacy is why QOVES has no testimonials or customer before and after. While there are plenty of third party reviews of our services online, we do not post nor share any details with anyone outside of our enterprises.
