This privacy policy details how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information. Shining Ai Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "the Service Provider") is the data controller responsible for managing the relevant data (contact email: licowa1224@gmail.com). The Data Protection Officer (DPO) is [ZHANG HUIYING]. Please ensure that the contact email is accurate (we recommend distinguishing it from the general contact email for the data controller). The DPO is responsible for overseeing and guiding data protection matters and explaining how personal information is processed in the LiCoWa: Live Collage Wallpaper application (hereinafter referred to as "the Application"). This Application is provided to users as a free service. Before using this Application, please carefully read this privacy policy to fully understand how your data is processed and ensure that your privacy rights are protected.
This privacy policy specifically applies to all personal information processing activities during your use of the LiCoWa: Live Collage Wallpaper application on mobile devices.
(1) Categories of Personal Information Collected During the operation of the Application, the following types of personal information may be collected:
Automatically Collected Information:
Device Information: Information about the mobile device you are using, such as device type, unique device ID, IP address, mobile operating system, browser type, etc. This helps us understand how the Application performs across different devices and ensures compatibility with various devices to provide a stable and smooth user experience.
Usage Behavior Information: Data about how you use the Application, such as the order of pages accessed, frequency of feature use, time spent, etc. We use this data to continuously optimize the interface, features, and performance of the Application, enhancing the convenience and satisfaction of your photo collage and wallpaper creation.
Information Provided by Users (if applicable): Although the Application does not require registration or collect typical account-related information, in certain cases (e.g., when you provide feedback or suggestions through the in-app feedback channel), you may voluntarily provide contact information, such as your email address, for communication purposes.
Photo Editing Information: As an image editing tool, the Application only accesses photos on your device when performing specific editing actions (such as applying filters, cropping, rotating, etc.) and does not use these photos for any other purposes not specified in the privacy policy.
Photo Saving Information: After editing photos, the Application requires permission to save the edited photos to the device. It will only access, modify, and save photos generated through user actions to ensure that the editing results are correctly saved and displayed on your device.
(2) Purposes of Using Information The information we collect is mainly used for the following purposes:
Ensure that the Application runs properly on your device, adapting to different device configurations and network environments, optimizing application performance, and improving your user experience.
Analyze usage data to continuously improve the functionality and interface design of the Application to better meet user needs and aesthetic preferences.
Perform image editing operations (such as applying filters, cropping, rotating, etc.) and save the edited photos, ensuring the edited results are correctly saved and displayed on your device.
Contact you if necessary to inform you about major updates to the Application, such as new content and feature adjustments, ensuring that you stay informed and can continue using the Application smoothly.
(3) Legal Basis for Data Processing
User Consent: By using the Application, you consent to the collection and processing of relevant personal data. For example, when you provide feedback or suggestions, you consent to the processing of the contact information you provide.
Performance of a Contract: Processing your data is necessary to fulfill our contract, especially with regard to data processing related to the core functions of the Application (such as image editing and photo saving) to ensure these features work properly for you.
Legitimate Interests: We process certain automatically collected data (such as device information and usage behavior) based on legitimate interests, such as optimizing the performance of the Application, improving user experience, and analyzing application usage.
Legal Obligations: In some cases, we may process your data based on legal requirements, such as responding to requests from regulatory authorities.
(4) Clipboard Information Processing
To enable the “Identify Social Media Links and Assist with Downloading or Using Related Content” feature, we may read clipboard content when the Application is launched, according to the following rules:
Scenario and Purpose of Reading
When you copy a link from a social media platform and then launch the Application, we will read the clipboard content to detect whether it contains a social media link. The purpose is to assist you in downloading or using related content (such as wallpapers, collage templates, or other matching resources) and to streamline the process from “Discovering Content on Social Media” to “Using Content in the App.”
Necessity of Permission and User Impact
This operation is directly related to the core functions of the Application (downloading/using social media-linked content). Without reading the clipboard, the Application cannot automatically recognize the social media link you copied, which would affect the “Assist in Downloading/Using Social Media Content” feature (unable to match related resources).
Compliance and User Rights Protection
Privacy Policy Disclosure: We have explicitly disclosed the scenarios, purposes, and impacts of clipboard reading in this privacy policy to safeguard your right to be informed.
Minimal Permission & Avoiding Misuse: Clipboard content is only read when the Application is launched and when a potential social media link is detected. There is no high-frequency or silent background reading. The clipboard content is used solely for link recognition and assisting in downloading/using related content, and it is not used for any unrelated purposes (such as data tracking or advertising).
(1) Sharing Scenarios and Purposes We will only share data with service providers on an anonymous or aggregated basis, to optimize application performance and enhance the user experience. This data does not contain any personally identifiable information and is solely for helping external service providers improve the Application and its services, such as optimizing image processing algorithms or enhancing wallpaper display effects.
(2) Right to Know About Data Sales
As a user, you have the right to know whether your personal data will be sold. We solemnly declare that we do not currently sell your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes and have never done so. However, you still have the right to inquire about this matter. If you have any doubts, you can contact us by sending an email to [licowa1224@gmail.com] , and we will respond to you within a reasonable time. Additionally, users from specific regions such as California, Virginia, or the European Union have the right to inquire more comprehensively about data processing in accordance with local regulations. If you are from one of these regions and have any concerns, you can also contact us at the above email for further consultation.
(3) Right to Opt-Out of Data Sales
You explicitly have the right to opt out of any form of "sale" of your personal data. As we do not currently engage in data sales, there is no immediate need for you to take any additional action to protect this right. However, we respect your concerns and are committed to maintaining this principle. If our business model changes in the future and involves data sales, we will notify you in advance in a prominent and clear manner and obtain your explicit consent. If you wish to explicitly express your disagreement with the sale of your data, you may inform us of your preference via email (licowa1224@gmail.com), and we will keep a record of your request and strictly follow your wishes.
