(B) Registering an Account

When you register a Novelmore account, we will collect your nickname, avatar, phone number, and email address. These details are necessary to help you complete the registration process and ensure the security of your account. Phone numbers and email addresses are considered sensitive information; collecting this information provides an efficient and reliable login credential. After verification and your agreement to these terms and the user agreement, the account registration will be completed. If you only need to use browsing and search services, you do not need to register as our member or provide the aforementioned information.

When you log in to the product using a third-party account (Facebook, Google Gmail, Twitter), you need to authorize us to obtain public information from the third-party account used for login (such as avatar, nickname, gender, etc.), and bind that account to your product account. If you do not agree to authorize or refuse us to obtain this information, you will not be able to log in using the third-party account, but it will not affect your use of other functions of the product.

After completing the product account registration, you may choose whether to complete additional account information such as avatar, nickname, gender, birthday, region, and personal signature. Providing these additional details can help us offer better services and experiences, but not providing them will not affect the basic functions of the product.

(C) Providing Functions or Services Related to Recharge and Consumption

When you use the consumption features of Novelmore products, we will collect your recharge and consumption records to facilitate your query of transaction history and maximally protect your property and virtual property security. While this is sensitive information, collecting it is necessary to achieve the related functionalities; otherwise, transactions cannot be completed.

(D) Enabling Personal Status Sharing Functions

When you use the comment, post text, or video dynamics features, we will collect and display the information you publish along with your nickname and avatar. The text, image, and video information you upload will be stored on our servers as necessary for these functions. You can delete this information at any time. Unless required by law or regulations, we will not provide this information to external parties, or use it for purposes other than these functionalities. Please note, the information you publicly post may involve personal or sensitive information about yourself or others, such as personal data included in the images or videos you upload. Please consider carefully whether to share or publicly disclose such information while using our services.

When using the Android or iOS platform app, we provide sharing and recharge services. We need to read the list of installed applications on your terminal to determine if a third-party app is installed for sharing purposes.

(E) Providing Novelmore Mini Program Features

1. When using the Novelmore mini program feature, without your permission, Novelmore will not disclose or reveal your personal information to mini program developers.

However, if you explicitly consent to sharing your geographic location with a third party, they will obtain your terminal's geographic location information through this app’s API technology interface. This information is sensitive, and declining to provide it will only prevent you from using the third-party services but will not affect your use of the app’s other functionalities.

Storage

We store information in accordance with laws and regulations to ensure the protection of your data, except under the following circumstances:

1. Explicit provisions by laws and regulations.

2. Generally, we retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated (no less than six months), unless laws require otherwise. Our criteria for determining this retention period include:

1. Completing the services related to you, maintaining relevant service and business records, and addressing any possible inquiries or complaints.

2. Ensuring the security and quality of the services we provide to you.

3. Your consent to a longer retention period.

4. Other specific agreements or legal provisions regarding retention duration.

5. After the retention period, we will delete or anonymize your personal information as required by applicable laws.

Information Deletion and Anonymization

If Novelmore decides to cease operations, we will stop collecting your personal information after the cessation of related services. We will notify you of the cessation through an announcement. The personal information we hold will be deleted or anonymized as per applicable laws.

Protection of Users' Personal Information

Protecting users' personal information is a fundamental principle of our platform. We will take reasonable measures to protect users' personal information. Except as required by laws and regulations or agreed upon in this agreement, the platform will not disclose or reveal users' personal information to third parties without user consent. The platform employs professional encryption methods for storing and transmitting related information to ensure the security of users' personal information.

Our platform utilizes various security technologies and procedures to establish a sound management system for protecting your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For instance, we use HTTPS combined with self-developed encryption methods to achieve transmission encryption, JWT for identity authentication (the most popular cross-domain authentication solution), detect malicious user traffic, analyze suspicious user behaviors, and freeze accounts to prevent account theft and user losses. Our database is designed for high availability (reducing downtime where the system cannot provide service) to prevent data loss of user coins, cash, etc., and is capable of backup and recovery. When displaying a user's phone number on the client side, the middle four digits are obscured with asterisks to protect the user's phone number.

Without your consent, we will not share, transfer, or publicly disclose your personal information to any company, organization, or individual outside of our company, except as otherwise stipulated by laws and regulations or this agreement.

The in-app recommendation module does not involve algorithmic pushes; recommended content is displayed to all users in a non-personalized manner.

Currently, Novelmore does not have a situation where personal information is transferred abroad. If, in the future due to business development, there is a need to transfer personal information abroad, we will list the types of personal information to be transferred abroad in this policy and prominently mark them.

Changing or Withdrawing Your Authorized Scope

If you wish to change or withdraw the authorized scope, including device information (such as IMEI), phone storage permissions, camera and photo album permissions, you can directly modify the authorization scope through your phone's permission settings. You can also access the phone permission settings page through “Mine - Settings - Privacy Settings”. If you withdraw certain necessary authorizations for specific functions in the service, you may not be able to use that particular function properly, but it will not affect your use of other functions in the service.
