8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies and similar technologies such as device identifiers are commonly used on the Internet. When you use the Services, we may use these technologies to send one or more cookies or anonymous identifiers to your device in order to collect, identify, and store information about your access to and use of the Services. We commit not to use cookies for any purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy. The main purposes for which we use cookies and similar technologies are as follows:

(1) Ensuring the Security and Efficient Operation of Products and Services

We may set authentication and security-related cookies or anonymous identifiers to confirm whether you are safely logged into the Services or to detect unauthorized use, fraud, or other unlawful activities. These technologies also help us improve service efficiency and enhance login and response speed.

(2) Helping You Achieve a Smoother Access Experience

The use of such technologies can help you avoid repeatedly entering personal information or inputting content (e.g., recording conversations).

(3) Clearing Cookies

You can refuse or manage cookies and similar technologies through your browser settings. Specifically, access your browser’s “Settings” page, locate privacy and security-related settings, and disable the settings that allow websites to save and read cookies. Please note that disabling necessary cookies may result in the inability to log in to your account, upload files, or use other core functions.

9. Data Storage and Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for tax, accounting, or other legal obligations).

When there is no ongoing legitimate business need for processing your personal information, we will delete or anonymize such information. If this is not immediately possible (for example, because your personal information is stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is feasible.

10. Data Security Measures

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable organizational and technical security measures designed to protect the confidentiality of any personal information we process. However, despite these security measures and our efforts to protect your information, no electronic transmission or information storage technology on the Internet can guarantee 100% security. Therefore, we cannot ensure that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will never breach our security measures to improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. While we make every effort to protect your personal information, any risk associated with transmitting personal information to or from our Services is borne by you. You should only access our Services in a secure environment.

  • Exceptions: If data processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations (e.g., retaining logs for regulatory audits) or to protect public interests (e.g., investigating malicious attacks), we may refuse your request and provide an explanation.

12. Privacy of Minors

We take the protection of minors’ personal information very seriously. Our Services are primarily intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we discover that personal information from a minor has been collected without verifiable parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information as soon as possible.

Such updates form part of this Privacy Policy and have the same legal effect. We will not reduce the rights you are entitled to under the currently effective Privacy Policy without your explicit consent.
