In case that you’re unable to carry out relevant steps and adjust the settings in your currently-used product or device, please contact us or the OEM of your device. Please note that allowing these permissions will be deemed as your consent to allow us collect and use relevant information to realize relevant functions; when you deny or disable the permissions in whole or in part, it means you have refused to provide related information to us, therefore also making us unable to provide you those functions relevant to such permissions.
