I. How We Collect and Use Personal Information

We collect users' personal information mainly to make it easier and more satisfying for users and other users to use the System Services. Our goal is to provide all internet users with a safe, fun, and educational online experience, and this information helps us achieve this goal.

1.We will collect and obtain users' personal information through the following ways:

(1) Information provided by users. For example:

- Information users provide to us when registering for a System Services account or using the System Services;

- Information users share with third parties through the System Services and information stored by users when using the System Services.

Please note that if users upload or publish information in public areas visible to other users within the System Services, or disclose users' information in responses to other people's uploads or publications, such information may be collected and used by others. If users find that others improperly collect or use users' information, they can contact us through the feedback channels listed in the "Contact Us" section of this Policy.

(2) Information shared by third parties about users. That is, information shared by third parties when using the System Services.

(3)Information we obtain about users. Information we collect, aggregate, and record when users use the System Services, such as log information, location information, and device information.

2. We will collect and use users' personal information for the following purposes:

We need to remind users that due to the variety of our products and services, the content provided to users is different, so the relevant business functions (including the types of personal information collected) will also vary depending on the content of the products/services chosen by users. Users should refer to the actual products/services they use. In addition, users understand and agree that we aim to provide users with comprehensive products and services, so we will continuously improve our products and services. This means that with the iteration, expansion, and upgrade of products and services, we may frequently launch new services or business functions or redefine business functions, and may need to collect new personal information or change the purpose or method of using personal information. If we need to use users' personal information for purposes not specified in this Policy or collect additional personal information not mentioned, we will obtain users' consent separately through page prompts, interactive processes, website announcements, or other means. During this process, users can contact us through the feedback channels listed in the "Contact Us" section of this Policy and we will respond as soon as possible.

(1) Helping Users Complete Registration and Login

To provide users with continuous and stable services and ensure the security of users' use of the System Services, we need users to provide basic registration or login information, including phone numbers, email addresses, and create a system account, username, and password. In some individual services, if users only need to use basic functions such as browsing and searching, they do not need to register as system users or provide the above information.

Users can also fill in or supplement additional information (such as nickname, avatar, gender, place of origin, occupation, education, date of birth, interests) during registration, login, or subsequent use. This will help us provide users with personalized and better service experiences, but if users do not provide this information, it will not affect the basic functions of the System Services.

(2) Achieving Identity Verification

According to relevant laws and regulations and regulatory requirements, or to meet the needs of real identity verification, system and service security, and other specific service functions, we may need users to provide real identity information (such as name, ID card, passport), biometric information (static or dynamic), and other identity information to complete identity verification. If users do not provide the above information, we will not be able to provide users with related functions and services.

To achieve the purpose of identity verification, users agree and authorize us to provide, query, and verify the aforementioned identity information to relevant identity verification agencies (such as personal credit agencies, government departments) either by ourselves or by entrusting third parties.。

Please note that users' identity information and biometric information are sensitive personal information. Users should provide them cautiously. If users refuse to provide them, they may not be able to obtain related services, but it will not affect the normal use of other functions and services.

(3) Maintaining the Normal Operation of Basic Functions

During users' use of our services, to provide users with basic functions such as browsing and searching, and to identify abnormal account status, understand product compatibility, ensure the network and operational security of the System Services, and maintain the normal operation of the aforementioned basic functions, we may directly or indirectly collect and store information about users' use of the services and usage methods and associate this information. This information includes:

- Log Information: When users use our services (including background running status), we may automatically collect detailed usage information of users' use of our services as network log storage. For example: users' login account, search query content, IP address, browser type, telecom operator, network environment, language used, access date and time, and users' webpage browsing records, stay duration, refresh records, publication records, attention, subscription, collection, and sharing.

- Device Information: When users use our services (including background running status), we may receive and record information related to the devices used by users. For example: device model, operating system and version, client version, device resolution, package name, device settings, process and software list, device identifier (MAC address/IMEI/Android ID/IDFA/OpenUDID/GUID/SIM card IMSI information), software and hardware feature information, device location-related information (such as IP address, GPS location, and WLAN access points, Bluetooth, and base station sensor information that can provide relevant information). To collect the above basic personal device information, we will apply for permission to access users' device information. We collect this information to provide users with our basic services and basic functions. If users refuse to provide the above permissions, it may result in users being unable to use the System Services.

Please note that individual device information and log information cannot identify specific natural persons. If we combine this type of non-personal information with other information to identify specific natural persons, or use it in combination with personal information, this type of non-personal information will be regarded as personal information during the combined use period. Unless authorized by users or otherwise provided by laws and regulations, we will anonymize and de-identify such personal information. This information will be treated and protected as users' personal information according to this Policy during the combined use period.

(4) Providing Users with Interaction and Publishing Services When users use the System Services, upload and/or publish information, and engage in related interactive behaviors (such as publishing, replying, sharing, collecting), we will collect the information uploaded, published, or formed by users and use users' nicknames, avatars, and published content for display.

Please note that the information users publicly publish may contain users' personal information or sensitive personal information. Users should carefully consider before publishing. If the information published by users involves others' personal information, users should obtain their consent before publishing.

(5) Helping Users Complete Orders, Payments, and Deliver Goods or Services

- When users order specific goods and/or services in the System Services, we will generate an order for users to purchase the goods and/or services through the system. During the ordering process, users need to provide at least the recipient's personal identity information, name, delivery address, postal code, recipient, contact phone number, and payment status information. If users refuse to provide such information, we will not be able to complete the related delivery services. If users order goods or services for others through the System Services, users need to provide the aforementioned information of the actual recipient. Before providing us with the aforementioned information of the actual recipient, users need to ensure that they have obtained their authorized consent;

- To display users' account transaction information and ensure transaction security, we will collect information generated during users' use of the System Services (such as the goods or services purchased by users, specific order numbers, order creation time, transaction amounts) to display to users and facilitate users' management of orders;

- To complete order payments, deliver goods or services, confirm transaction status, and provide users with after-sales and dispute resolution services, we will collect users' account, order, transaction, payment, and logistics information related to the transaction progress based on the transaction objects, payment institutions, logistics companies chosen by users, or share users' transaction information with the aforementioned service providers.

(6) Providing Customer Service or Other User Response Functions

When users contact our customer service or use other user response functions (such as submitting pre-sale and after-sale requests, personal information protection complaints or suggestions, other customer complaints and needs), we may need users to provide necessary personal information to match and verify users' identities to ensure the security of users' accounts and systems.

(7) Personal Information Collected Indirectly

Based on the System Services chosen by users, we may obtain relevant information shared by users from affiliates and third-party partners. For example, when users log in to the System Services using a third-party platform account, we will obtain relevant information under the third-party account (including username, nickname, avatar, specific to the content authorized by users) according to users' authorization and bind users' third-party account with users' System Services account after users agree to this Policy, allowing users to log in and use the System Services directly through the third-party account. We will collect and use users' information in compliance with relevant laws and regulations and based on agreements with affiliates or third-party partners, ensuring the legality of the information sources provided by them.

(1) Providing Users with Information Display and Push of Goods or Services

Based on the information provided by users, the information we may collect, and the information we collect indirectly (such as users' browsing and search records, device information, location information, order information), we may combine one or more of the above information to conduct recommendation algorithm modeling, programmatic advertising recommendation algorithm modeling, user behavior analysis, and user profiling to extract users' browsing, search preferences, behavior habits, and location-related characteristics to provide users with more relevant page displays and personalized content recommendations. We may also send marketing information and user surveys to users via email, SMS, or other means based on feature tags to help us improve the System Services and provide or promote the following goods and services of ours/third parties:

If users want to manage our personalized services, they can follow the guidelines provided by the individual services they use.

(9) Providing Security for Users

To improve the security of users' use of our and our partners' services, protect the personal and property safety of users or other users or the public from infringement, better prevent phishing websites, fraud, network vulnerabilities, computer viruses, network attacks, network intrusions, and other security risks, and more accurately identify violations of laws and regulations or the relevant agreement rules of the System Services, we may collect, use, or integrate users' account information, transaction information, device information, log information, and information shared by our affiliates and partners authorized by users or in accordance with the law to comprehensively judge users' account and transaction risks, conduct identity verification, detect and prevent security incidents, and take necessary recording, auditing, analysis, and disposal measures in accordance with the law.

(10) Users understand and agree that some individual services may require users to enable specific access permissions on their devices to collect and use the information involved in these permissions. For example

- After users enable storage permissions, we are allowed to access users' storage space so that users can download and save content or use caching to achieve corresponding service functions;

- After users enable device information permissions, we are allowed to obtain users' device information as a unique identifier of the user's device to provide users with more relevant page displays and personalized content recommendations, understand product compatibility, identify abnormal states, and ensure the network and operational security of the System Services;

- After users enable album and/or camera (camera) permissions, they can upload, take photos/pictures/videos, achieve information and comment publishing, live video streaming, or provide proof when communicating with customer service;

- After users enable contact permissions, we can obtain users' contact information to provide users with friend status queries, invite users' friends to use the System Services, and share content/products with people users know;

- After users enable microphone and related voice permissions, they can use voice functions to interact with our products, others, or contact customer service;

- After users enable location permissions, we can obtain users' location information to allow users to interact with nearby friends or push personalized content to users;

When users need to disable these function permissions, most mobile devices support users' needs. Please refer to or contact the service provider or manufacturer of the mobile device for specific methods. Please note that enabling any permission means that users authorize us to collect and use relevant information to provide corresponding services. Once users disable any permission, it means that users cancel the authorization, and we will no longer collect and use relevant information based on the corresponding permission and will not be able to provide the services corresponding to that permission. However, users' decision to disable permissions will not affect the information collection and use previously conducted based on users' authorization.

(11) Exceptions to Obtaining Authorized Consent

II. How We Use COOKIES or Similar Technologies

We or our partners may obtain and use users' information through COOKIES or similar technologies and store such information as log information.

By using COOKIES, we provide users with a simple and personalized web experience. A COOKIE is a small amount of data sent from a web server to users' browsers and stored on the computer's hard drive. We use COOKIES to benefit our users. For example, to make the system login process faster, users can choose to store their usernames in a COOKIE. This makes it more convenient and quicker to log in to the System Services next time. COOKIES help us determine the pages and content users connect to, the time users spend on specific services, and the services users choose.

COOKIES enable us to serve users better and faster and make users' experiences on the System Services more personalized. However, users should be able to control whether and how COOKIES are accepted by their browsers. Please refer to the files attached to the browser for more information on this aspect.

IV. How We Store and Protect Personal Information

1. Storage of Personal Information

Except as otherwise provided by laws, regulations, or regulatory authorities, we will only store users' personal information for the shortest period necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Policy. 。If we terminate services or operations, we will promptly stop collecting users' personal information and comply with relevant legal requirements to notify users in advance. After terminating services or operations, we will delete or anonymize users' personal information, except as otherwise provided by laws, regulations, or regulatory authorities.

The personal information collected and generated during our operations within the People's Republic of China is stored in China, except for the following circumstances:

(1) Explicit provisions in laws and regulations;

(2) Obtaining users' authorized consent;

(3) Users' use of system services involves cross-border, and we need to provide users' personal information abroad.

For the above circumstances, we will ensure compliance with national laws, regulations, and relevant regulatory requirements and provide sufficient protection for users' personal information.

2. Protection of Personal Information

We highly value information security, have established a dedicated security team, and take all reasonable and feasible measures to protect users' personal information:

(1) Data Security Technical Measures

- We adopt industry-standard security measures, including establishing reasonable institutional norms and security technologies, to prevent unauthorized access, use, modification, and damage or loss of users' personal information.

- Our services use various encryption technologies, such as SSL, to encrypt and store users' personal information and isolate it through isolation technology to protect users' personal information

- When using personal information, such as information display and information association calculation, we use various data desensitization technologies to enhance the security of information in use.

- We also use strict data access control and multiple identity

(2) Other Security Measures We Take to Protect Personal Information

We have an industry-leading data security management system centered around data and covering the data lifecycle, enhancing the security of the entire system from multiple dimensions such as organizational construction, system design, personnel management, and product technology. We manage and regulate the storage and use of personal information by establishing data classification and grading systems, data security management norms, and data security development norms.

We conduct comprehensive security control over data through confidentiality agreements with information contacts, monitoring, and auditing mechanisms.

We also hold security and privacy protection training courses to enhance employees' security awareness and understanding of personal information protection policies and related procedures.

(3) We only allow employees and partners who need to know this information to access users' personal information and have set strict access permission controls and monitoring mechanisms for this purpose. We also require all personnel who may come into contact with users' personal information to fulfill corresponding confidentiality obligations. Failure to fulfill these obligations may result in legal liability or termination of the cooperation relationship.

(4) The internet is not an absolutely secure environment, and we recommend that users use complex passwords and pay attention to protecting their information security. When communicating with third parties or purchasing goods and services through the System Services, users inevitably need to disclose their information to the transaction counterpart or potential transaction counterpart, such as contact information or postal addresses. Please protect your information properly and only provide it to others when necessary.

(5) The internet environment is not 100% secure, and we will do our best to ensure or guarantee the security of users' personal information sent to us. If our physical, technical, or management protective facilities are damaged, leading to unauthorized access, public disclosure, tampering, or destruction of personal information, resulting in damage to users' legitimate rights and interests, we will bear corresponding legal responsibilities.

(6) Handling Security Incidents

To address possible risks such as personal information leakage, damage, and loss, we have formulated multiple systems that clarify the classification and grading standards and corresponding handling procedures for security incidents and security vulnerabilities. We have also established an emergency response team for security incidents, which, according to the requirements of security incident handling norms, initiates security plans for different security incidents, conducts loss prevention, analysis, positioning, formulates remedial measures, and cooperates with relevant departments for tracing and combating. We also regularly organize internal training and emergency drills to ensure that our relevant staff master corresponding emergency handling strategies and procedures.

In the unfortunate event of an information security incident, we will promptly inform users according to the requirements of laws and regulations: the basic situation and possible impact of the security incident, the measures we have taken or will take, suggestions for users to prevent and reduce risks independently, and remedial measures for users. We will also promptly inform users of the relevant situation of the incident by email, letter, phone, push notification, etc. When it is difficult to inform the information subjects one by one, we will take reasonable and effective ways to publish announcements. At the same time, we will proactively report the handling of information security incidents to regulatory authorities as required.

Please understand that due to technical limitations and risk prevention limitations, even if we have tried to strengthen security measures, we cannot always guarantee 100% information security. Users need to understand that the systems and communication networks used to access the System Services may have problems due to circumstances beyond our control.

Please properly keep your account, password, and other identity elements. When using the System Services, we will identify users through their account, password, and other identity elements. If users disclose the aforementioned information, they may suffer losses and may be adversely affected. If users find that their account, password, and/or other identity elements may or have been disclosed, please contact us immediately so that we can take corresponding measures in time to avoid or reduce related losses.

 

V. How to Manage Users' Personal Information

1. Access, Update, and Deletion

We encourage users to update and modify personal information to make it more accurate and effective.

We provide users with relevant operation guides and settings. For information collected through COOKIES or similar technologies, we also provide a choice mechanism for users as explained in the second section of this Policy, "How We Use COOKIES or Similar Technologies."

Users can also contact us through the feedback channels listed in the "Contact Us" section of this Policy . We will take appropriate technical means or contact channels to enable users to access, update, and delete their personal information or other information provided when using the System Services, except as otherwise provided by laws and regulations.

Except as otherwise provided by laws and regulations, when users correct or delete personal information, we may not immediately correct or delete the corresponding information from the backup system but will correct or delete this information during the backup update.

2. Public Disclosure and Sharing

Many of our services allow users to publicly share their relevant information not only with their social networks but also with all users using the service, such as information uploaded or published by users in the System Services, responses to information uploaded or published by others, information uploaded or published by users in public areas visible to unspecified users through email or the System Services, and location data and log information related to such information. As long as users do not delete the publicly disclosed or shared information, the relevant information may remain in the public domain; even if the shared information is deleted, the relevant information may still be independently cached, copied, or stored by other users or third parties not under our control, or kept in the public domain by other users or such third parties. If users disclose or share information through the above channels, resulting in the leakage of users' information, we are not responsible. Therefore, we remind and ask users to carefully consider whether to disclose or share their information through the above channels.

3. Account Cancellation

We currently do not provide a public user account cancellation method.

Users can contact us through the feedback channels listed in the "Contact Us" section of this Policy . After verifying users' identities and explaining the necessity of account cancellation, combined with the data generated in the System Services, we will complete the cancellation operation after verifying that the cancellation conditions are met.

After users' accounts are canceled, we will stop providing all or part of the System Services to users and, according to users' requirements, delete users' personal information or anonymize it, except as otherwise provided by laws and regulations.

4.Changing the Scope of Users' Authorized

Users can always choose whether to disclose personal information to us. Some personal information is necessary to use the System Services, but most other information is provided at users' discretion. Users can change the scope of their authorization for us to continue collecting information or withdraw their authorization by deleting information, turning off device functions, etc.

After withdrawing authorization, we cannot continue to provide users with the services corresponding to the withdrawn authorization and will no longer process users' corresponding information. However, users' decision to withdraw authorization will not affect the information processing previously conducted based on users' authorization.

5. Obtaining Copies of Personal Information

If users need a copy of their personal information, they can contact us through the feedback channels listed in the "Contact Us" section of this Policy . After verifying users' identities, we will provide users with a copy of their personal information in our services (including basic information and identity information), except as otherwise provided by laws and regulations or this Policy.

6. Responding to Users' Requests

To ensure security, users may need to provide a written request or prove their identity in other ways. We may first require users to verify their identity before processing users' requests. For reasonable requests from users, we generally do not charge fees, but for repeated requests that exceed reasonable limits, we will charge a certain cost fee as appropriate. For those requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require excessive technical means (for example, need to develop new systems or fundamentally change current practices), bring risks to others' legitimate rights and interests, or are very impractical (for example, involving information stored on backup tapes), we may refuse them.

In the following situations, we will not be able to respond to users' requests:

(1)Related to our performance of legal obligations;

(2)Directly related to national security and national defense security;

(3)Directly related to public safety, public health, and significant public interests;
