We will collect and use your personal information in compliance with the principles of legality, legitimacy, and necessity. Specifically, we collect and process your personal information in order to provide you with corresponding business functions. If you provide personal information of others in the relevant functions, please ensure that you have obtained the necessary authorization from the relevant individuals. We reserve the right to verify the legal sources of such personal information at any time.

For your convenience, we provide the following list of business functions, processing purposes, and the required personal information:

1.1. Account Registration and Login

1.4. Facial Data Processing

In the "Facial Effects" feature, such as cartoon avatars, AI portraits, and special effect video production, the service needs to identify facial features (such as facial positions) for analysis in order to provide "Facial Effects" services.

We do not collect your facial data. After you upload a photo, we only extract some facial features from the photo for processing. Once the processing is complete, we will delete the uploaded photo and not retain any data. Your personal facial information is stored by the device or system you used to upload the avatar photo (such as a mobile phone or other smart handheld terminal), and we do not store your personal facial information.

We may collect the avatar photos you choose to upload or voluntarily take for providing you with technology-based modification or editing services for short videos or images on the platform. If you do not use the aforementioned services provided by us, we will not collect your avatar photos.

Facial data will not be shared with any third parties.
