By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Policy.
1.Information We Collect
We adhere to the "minimum necessary" principle for data collection, and only collect information necessary to provide and optimize the App's services, as well as to deliver our own advertising content:
Account Registration Information: When you register an account, you may voluntarily provide personal information such as your email address, username, and password. This information is used solely for account verification, login authentication, and password recovery.
App Usage Records: We automatically collect non-identifiable usage data, including the novels you browse, read, or bookmark, reading duration, chapter completion rate, and interaction with in-app features (e.g., "like" or "share" actions). This data is used to analyze user behavior, improve content quality, and adjust our own advertising placement strategies.
Device and Technical Information: We collect device-related information such as device model, operating system version, unique device identifier (UDID, collected in compliance with Apple's guidelines), IP address, and network type. This information is used to ensure App compatibility, troubleshoot technical issues, and prevent fraudulent activities.
To deliver our own advertising content (no third-party ads), we may use your non-identifiable usage data (e.g., reading genre preferences) to display relevant ads within the App. We will never collect or use sensitive personal information (e.g., real name, address, payment information) for advertising purposes.
