1. How we collect and use your personal information

Personal information means information recorded electronically or otherwise that can, alone or in combination with other information, identify a specific natural person or reflect their activities. In accordance with the Cybersecurity Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Information Security Technology — Personal Information Security Specification (GB/T 35273-2017), and other applicable laws and regulations, we follow the principles of propriety, legality and necessity when collecting and using personal information in connection with your use of our services and products, including but not limited to email addresses.

2. How we store and protect your personal information

As a general rule, we retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. We retain it for the time strictly necessary to manage our relationship with you, for example when you create an account or obtain services from our products. To comply with legal obligations or establish rights or contracts within an applicable limitation period, we may need to retain archived information beyond that period and may be unable to delete it at your request. When your information is no longer needed for our legal obligations, limitation periods or records, we ensure that it is deleted completely or anonymized. If you confirm that you no longer use our Products and Services and actively close your account as required, all information will be deleted completely.

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect the information you provide, and encrypt key data to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, use, alteration, damage or loss. We take all reasonably practicable measures to protect your personal information. We use encryption to maintain confidentiality and trusted protection mechanisms to guard against malicious attacks.

To strengthen privacy protection, we de-identify private data when it is collected. Even in our own databases, we do not store identifiable, associated private data in plain text.

3. How we share, transfer and publicly disclose your personal information

We use your personal information lawfully and appropriately as necessary to manage our daily business and pursue legitimate interests in serving customers better. Taking our business and other considerations into account, we use this data ourselves and do not share it with any third party.

We may share information where required by laws and regulations or mandatory requirements of government authorities. Where permitted by law, we require appropriate legal documents, such as a subpoena or inquiry letter, when receiving such requests. We believe we should be as transparent as legally possible about information requested from us.

Prior authorization and consent are not required for sharing, transferring or publicly disclosing personal information in the following circumstances:

1. Where directly related to national security or national defense;

2. Where directly related to criminal investigations, prosecutions, trials or enforcement of judgments;

3. Where necessary to protect your or another person’s life, property or other major lawful interests, but obtaining consent is difficult;

4. Where you have voluntarily disclosed the information to the public;

5. Where information is collected from lawful public disclosures, such as lawful news reports or government disclosures;

6. Where necessary to enter into or perform a contract requested by the personal information subject;

7. Where necessary to maintain the safe and stable operation of the products or services, such as detecting and resolving failures;

8. Other circumstances provided by laws and regulations.

4. How we use cookies and other tracking technologies

To ensure normal operation, we store small data files called cookies on your computer or mobile device. Cookies usually contain identifiers, product names, numbers and characters. They help us store your preferences or product information, determine whether a registered user is signed in, improve service and product quality, and optimize the user experience.

We use cookies for various purposes, including strictly necessary, performance, marketing and functional cookies. Some may be supplied by third parties to provide additional product functions. We do not use cookies for purposes other than those stated in this policy. You may manage or delete cookies according to your preferences. You can clear all cookies stored on your computer or phone; most browsers also let you block or disable cookies. Doing so may affect or prevent your use of some Products and Services.

5. How we protect information about minors

We take the protection of minors’ personal information seriously. This software is primarily intended for adults and, in principle, is not open to minors. If you are a minor, obtain your legal guardian’s explicit consent and notify us by email before using it. We strictly protect minors’ personal information in accordance with applicable national laws and regulations.

For information collected with a legal guardian’s consent, we use or disclose it only where permitted by law, with the guardian’s explicit consent, or as necessary to protect the minor’s lawful rights and interests.

If your legal guardian does not agree to your providing information under this policy, please notify us immediately. We will take appropriate measures to handle your information.
