We attach great importance to the protection of children's personal information, and our products, software, websites and services are mainly provided for adults.

In view of the limitations of existing technology and business model, it is difficult for us to proactively identify children’s personal information.

After the above retention period is exceeded, we will delete or anonymize your user information according to the requirements of applicable laws and regulations. For the special regulations stipulated by laws and regulations, or for public interest, scientific and historical research etc., or your consent of authorization, we may retain relevant data for a longer period of time.
Since we provide products or services through resources and servers all over the world, that means that your user information may be transferred to the overseas jurisdiction of the country/region where you use the products or services, or may be visited from these jurisdictions after obtaining your authorization. Please note that laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so the privacy laws of the regions where your information is transferred, stored, used, or processed may be different from the privacy laws of your region. We will ask for your consent to the cross-border transfer of user information, or implement security measures such as data de-identification before cross-border data transfer.
