   We utilize industry-standard security measures to protect the personal information you provide and to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, usage, alteration, damage, or loss. We take all reasonable steps to secure your personal information. For instance:

3. Internet Environment and User Responsibility:
   The internet is not an absolutely secure environment, and communication methods such as email, instant messaging, and interactions with other users are not encrypted. We strongly encourage you to use complex passwords to help keep your account secure and avoid sharing personal information through these unencrypted channels.
4. Data Breach Response:
   While we do our best to ensure the security of the information you send to us, there is no guarantee of absolute security in an internet environment. If our physical, technical, or administrative safeguards are compromised and result in unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of information, we will assume responsibility in accordance with the law.

6. Data Localization and Compliance:
   All data storage and processing occur within the People’s Republic of China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan). If we need to process data outside this range, we will obtain user consent in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and implement robust protection measures. Additionally, we will promptly report any personal information security incidents as required by regulatory authorities.

 

Secton 4  How We Handle Children’s Personal Information

Our products, websites, and services are primarily intended for users who are 14 years of age or older. Children under the age of 14 may not create their own user accounts without the consent of a parent or guardian. If parental consent is obtained, we will only collect, use, or disclose children’s personal information when it is legally permissible, explicitly agreed to by the parent or guardian, or necessary for the protection of the child.

Although the legal definitions of “children” vary by country, we consider anyone under the age of 14 to be a child. If we find that we have collected children’s personal information without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete the data as quickly as possible.
