1. How we collect and use your personal information
Personal information refers to any data, whether electronically recorded or otherwise, that can identify a specific natural person or reflect their activities, either alone or in combination with other information. We collect and utilize your personal information for the following purposes outlined in this policy:
(i) Facilitating User Registration:
To simplify account creation and provide services, you may choose to sign in with an Apple account. The information provided during registration will be continuously licensed to us for the duration of your service usage. Upon voluntary account cancellation, we will anonymize or delete your personal information as soon as possible in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Additionally, quick login registration generates a unique ID for you, which you are obligated to protect, with sale or transfer prohibited.
(ii) Product or Service Display and Promotion:
To improve our offerings, we personalize information search and transaction services based on your browsing and search history, as well as device information. We may display and push relevant information using browsing and search history, device details, and indirect crowd profiling. You may opt-out of receiving commercial advertisements at any time.
During service usage, we collect and analyze information to optimize page displays and search results, understand product fit, and detect account irregularities. This includes device information obtained with user consent during software installation and use. Our website and clients automatically record service usage details as web logs. Device information and log data do not individually identify individuals. If non-personal data is combined with other data to identify individuals or used with personal information, it is considered personal information during combined use. Unless authorized or required by law, we anonymize and de-identify such information.
Communication and call logs, along with provided information, may be stored for issue resolution and record-keeping purposes when you reach out to us.
(iii) Other Uses:
We seek prior consent for using information for purposes not stated in this policy or for using collected information for different purposes.
