Please read and fully understand this policy carefully before using this application.
This policy applies to all services provided by this application. When you use third-party services through this application (such as sharing pictures to social media platforms, advertising displays, etc.), the privacy practices of such third parties will be governed by their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their information processing practices.

We highly value your personal information and will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We may share or disclose your information only under the following legal or agreed-upon circumstances:
Authorized Sharing: Sharing with specific third parties after obtaining your explicit and separate consent.
Third-Party Service Providers: To enable functions such as data analysis, crash monitoring, and ad display, we may share necessary anonymized information with rigorously screened partners possessing corresponding data security capabilities (such as Firebase, AdMob, etc.). These third parties will process information in accordance with their own privacy policies; we recommend you review their privacy terms.
Legal Requirements: Based on laws and regulations, judicial procedures, administrative or regulatory requirements, or to protect the legitimate rights and interests of us, you, or other entities, or public safety, we may need to disclose your information to the extent necessary.
Business Transfer: In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset transfer, or other transaction involving the transfer of personal information, we will notify you through appropriate means and require the recipient to continue to be bound by this policy.
IV. Information Storage and Protection
Storage Location: Your personal information will be stored on servers that comply with international security standards. We may conduct cross-border data transfers as needed for business purposes, but will ensure that compliant protection measures such as encryption are taken.
Storage Period: We will only retain your information for the period necessary to achieve the purposes described in this policy. After the statutory period expires, it will be deleted or anonymized. Images you take and edit are always stored locally on your device; we do not upload them to the cloud by default.
Security Measures: We employ industry-standard security technologies (such as SSL/TLS encrypted transmission, access control, data anonymization, etc.) and management measures (such as internal access control and regular security audits) to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, please note that the internet environment is not absolutely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
V. Your Rights
We respect and protect your legal rights regarding your personal information. In accordance with applicable international privacy guidelines (such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights in accordance with the law during the use of this application:
1. Right to Know and Right to Access
You have the right to know whether we are processing your personal information, and the specific details of the processing (including the purpose of processing, information category, recipient, storage period, etc.). You can contact us using the contact information below to request a free copy of our personal information regarding you.
2. Right to Correction
If you find that the personal information we process about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or supplement it. Please provide accurate information when contacting us so that we can verify and process it.
3. Right to Erasure (“Right to Be Forgotten”)
You have the right to request that we erase your personal information in the following circumstances:
The purpose for which we processed the information has been achieved or cannot be achieved, and we no longer need such information to provide the services;
You have withdrawn your consent to our processing of your information, and we have no other legitimate reason to continue processing;
You have successfully objected to our processing of your information based on legitimate interests;
Our processing of your information violates applicable laws and regulations;
The deletion of your information is necessary to fulfill legal obligations.
Please note that your right to erasure may be limited if applicable law requires us to retain certain information (e.g., to fulfill legal obligations).
4. Right to Restrict Processing
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we suspend the processing of your personal information. For example:
You object to the accuracy of the information and need time to verify it;
The processing is illegal, but you do not wish to delete the information, only to request a restriction on its use;
We no longer need such information to provide the services, but you need such information to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;
You have raised an objection to the processing and need to wait for us to verify whether the objection is valid.
5. Right of Data Portability
Where you consent to our processing of information, or where we process information based on a contract with you, you have the right to request that we transmit your personal information to you in a structured, general, and machine-readable format (such as a JSON file), or, where technically feasible, directly to a third party designated by you.
6. Right to Withdraw Consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time for information we process based on your consent (such as information collected by granting camera or photo album permissions). You can disable the relevant permissions through your device's system settings (specific path: Android devices "Settings" → "Apps" → This App → "Permissions"; iOS devices "Settings" → This App → Turn off the corresponding permission switch), or contact us through the contact information at the end of this document.
Please note: Withdrawing consent does not affect the legality of processing already carried out based on your consent before the withdrawal, nor does it affect our processing of your information based on other legitimate reasons (such as fulfilling contractual or legal obligations).
7. Right to Refusal (Oppose)
You have the right to refuse (oppose) such processing at any time when we process your information based on "legitimate interests" (such as for service optimization or security) or for "direct marketing purposes." Once we receive your objection and we do not have a sufficient and overwhelming legal grounds, we will immediately cease processing your information for this purpose. For direct marketing, your right to object will be unconditionally respected.
8. Right Not to Be Bound by Automated Decisions
We will not rely solely on automated decisions (including user profiling) to make decisions about you that have significant legal implications (such as refusal of service or differential pricing). If such mechanisms are introduced in the future, we will inform you in advance in accordance with the law and provide avenues for manual intervention.
You can submit your request to exercise your rights to us through the contact information (email address) provided in Article 9 of this policy. To protect your account security, we may need to verify your identity (such as requesting you to provide information related to your use of this application for verification).
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the above rights, such as by reducing service quality or refusing to provide services. However, please note that the implementation of some core functions depends on the collection of specific information, and withdrawing consent may result in the inability to use such functions properly.
For requests that are clearly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive, we may charge reasonable administrative fees or refuse to process them. For requests involving the privacy of others, trade secrets, or conflicts of public interest, we may limit the scope of processing in accordance with the law.
VI. Children's Privacy Protection
This app is not designed for children (those under 13 years of age or the younger age as defined in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect children's personal information. If a guardian discovers that a child has provided us with information without their consent, please contact us immediately, and we will delete the relevant data as soon as possible.
