Specifically, before you start a game match or when there is abnormal installation behavior, we will scan the feature values of suspicious application installation packages you have installed through the application list for plug-in or cheating software detection. We will only complete the above detection locally on your device and report abnormal results without storing your application list and installation package information on the server or using it for any other purpose. 1.6 When you interact with other players in the game through text, pictures, voice, video, and other means, we may collect and save the content of the information you send to filter inappropriate content such as pornography, violence, politics, abuse, malicious advertisements, etc., to purify the game environment and maintain a healthy online environment. 1.7 If you wish to interact with other game players through pictures, voice, video, and participate in live broadcasts, after you authorize and agree, the game will access your photos or storage files, microphone, and camera to provide you with screenshot saving, picture uploading, voice chat, live interaction, and other functions.
