When you use this Product, we may automatically collect basic device information, including but not limited to your device model, operating system type and version, device unique identifier (such as IMEI, Android ID), IP address, network connection status, and device running status.

We will not associate such device information with your personal identity information without authorization.

We will only scan and process the album information (including photos, pictures, and their attribute information such as shooting time and size) locally on your device. The entire processing process (such as identifying duplicate photos, blurred photos, etc.) is completed offline on the device, and we will never collect, upload, back up, or store your album information to the cloud server or any third-party platform. After you close the photo cleaning function or exit the Product, the temporary cache generated during the processing will be automatically cleared.

The contact cleaning function of this Product requires you to authorize access to your device address book first. We will only scan and process the contact information (including contact names, phone numbers, and other information stored in the address book) locally on your device. The entire processing process (such as identifying duplicate contacts, invalid contacts, etc.) is completed offline on the device, and we will never collect, upload, back up, or store your contact information to the cloud server or any third-party platform. After you close the contact cleaning function or exit the Product, the temporary cache generated during the processing will be automatically cleared.

We use the collected device information to ensure the normal operation of this Product and the smooth provision of core functions; we use the locally processed album and contact information to provide you with photo cleaning and contact cleaning services as agreed.

2.2 Product Optimization and Experience Improvement

We may aggregate and analyze the anonymized device information (excluding any personal identity-related content) to understand user usage habits, identify potential product bugs or performance bottlenecks, optimize product functions and operation stability, and continuously improve the user experience of this Product.

As mentioned above, album information and contact information are only processed locally on the device and will not be stored; device information will be stored for a reasonable period necessary for providing services and product optimization, and will be automatically deleted or anonymized when it is no longer needed (i.e., the information can no longer identify a specific user).

3.2 Security Protection Measures

We have adopted a series of technical and management security measures to protect the security of your information and prevent information from being unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, damage, or loss. Specifically, we use encryption technology to protect the transmission and storage of device information; restrict the access scope of information, and only authorize employees who need to perform work duties to access relevant information; establish a sound information security management system and regularly conduct security training and audits.

However, please note that no information transmission or storage method is 100% secure. We will do our best to protect your information security, but we cannot guarantee absolute security. You should also take appropriate measures to protect your device and information, such as setting a secure device password, not disclosing device permissions at will, etc.

Except as follows, we will not share your information with any third party without your prior consent:

Such data is only used to jointly improve the quality of services and optimize product functions, and the partners have no right to reverse deduce personal information from such data.

- We may share your information with third parties in accordance with the requirements of laws, regulations, administrative orders, or judicial decisions, or when it is necessary to protect the legitimate rights and interests of us, you, or third parties (such as responding to legal lawsuits, preventing fraud, etc.).

If there is a merger, acquisition, asset transfer, or other similar transaction involving the transfer of information in the future, we will inform you in advance through prominent ways (such as pop-up prompts in the Product), and ensure that the transferee continues to abide by this Privacy Policy and assumes the same level of information protection obligations as us.
