We will explain the types of personal information we collect from you and their corresponding uses one by one so that you can understand the specific categories of personal information we collect, the reasons for their use, and the methods of collection for a particular function.

When you use certain functions, we will collect some sensitive information from you with your consent. For example, when you use the "Contacts Recommended Friends" function, we will collect some of your phone contact information once. When you use the "Weather" function, we will use your location information locally. In some application environments, you may need to submit your personal recorded audio content. Unless required by relevant laws and regulations, refusing to provide this information will only result in your inability to use certain specific functions but will not affect your normal use of other services provided by Chushao Technology.

Chushao Technology will not share or transfer your personal information to third parties outside Chushao Technology. If you need us to share or transfer your personal information to third parties outside Chushao Technology, we will directly obtain your explicit consent or confirm that the third party has obtained your explicit consent for the above actions.
