Our channels for collecting personal data include: (1) you provide us your data directly, (2)we record certain data about how you interact with our products, and/or (3) we obtain certain data about you from third parties.

The data we collect depends on the environment in which you interact with Vilykke, the choices you make, including your privacy settings and the products and features you use. It is worth noting that we usually treat the shipping area recorded on the mobile phone box as the actual location where your phone is used and comply with local laws and regulations, including those for data protection.

1.Personal data we collect

(1)Information directly provided by you

The services we provide for you require you to provide information directly to us. For instance:

Registering an Vilykke ID or filling out a warranty card/electronic warranty card requires you to create an account or to complete a personal profile. In these services, we may ask you to provide personal data to set up an account or a personal profile. Types of personal data include name, date of birth, mobile number, email address, username and password created, photos, etc.

If you order products from us, request a return or refund, or use a paid service, we may collect your delivery details, bank account number, credit card details, billing address, information for credit check and other financial information, contact and communication records, etc., so we can process your order.

Some of our services allow you to communicate and share with others. The communicated or shared content may be transmitted through and stored in our system.

We may ask you to provide personal data and collect it under other circumstances, these circumstances include participating in prize draws or competitions, participating in promotional or marketing activities organized by us or our business partners, completing questionnaires, participating in user forums or blogs hosted by us or our business partners. The information you provide helps us design and improve the products, personalize your shopping experience, and provide purchase suggestions. We may match your information with third-party data to better understand your needs.

In addition to the information you provide, we may also collect information about your use of our services through software on your device and other means. For example, we may collect:

Log information - Such as when and how long the services are used, search terms entered through the services, and error log information of the device. Because of the Android system's design, when you choose to share the error log information of the device with us, the Android system may sometimes simultaneously send us your personal information, such as your phone number, email address, social media account, etc. We promise not to use such information for personal identification and after analyzing the error log data, we will periodically clear such data (usually within 30 days after collection).

Location information — such as the device’s GPS signal or information about nearby WiFi access points and cell towers, ID of the device’s location, network service provider ID, which may be sent to us when you use certain services. You can modify the location settings of your device from the device settings, such as changing or disabling the method or server used in location-based services, or modifying the accuracy of your location information, hence changing the location information provided to Vilykke.

d.Voice information — for example, audio that we record (and may store on our servers) when you use voice commands to control the service.

Album information — for example, to provide you with the function to display photo locations as well as to classify your photos and videos, we need to collect the latitude and longitude information of your photo and video files; when you search for a certain picture, we will collect the term you entered and the number of pictures identified locally .

Camera - To ensure that the camera app works normally, we collect operational data (e.g., how many times you use the app), information about your device (e.g., IMEI, device model, IP address, operating system version), parameters of photos taken (e.g., photosensitivity, number of faces captured), and available space on the device.

Other information about your use of the service - such as how you interact with the content provided through the service.

Please note that we may cooperate with third-party service providers to achieve the above business functions, for instance, when a third-party service provider provides voice to text conversion services on our behalf, it may receive and store certain personal data. These third parties may not use this information for any other purpose.

(3)Obtaining data from a third party

Where permitted by law, we may collect data about you from public or commercial sources and may combine them with other information received or related to you. If you choose to use our services by logging in with third-party accounts such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc., we may also collect your public information from these services, such as your username, profile picture, etc
