3. Special Note: According to the "Personal Information Protection Law," information that has been anonymized is not considered personal information.
4. Scope of Application of this Privacy Policy
With the exception of certain specific products and services, this Privacy Policy applies to all of our products and services, while specific products and services will be subject to their own privacy policies. Specific privacy policies for certain products and services will provide more specific details on how we collect and use your information within those products and services. In case of any inconsistency between the privacy policy of specific products and services and this Privacy Policy, the privacy policy of the specific products and services shall prevail.
5. Exceptions to the Application of this Privacy Policy
Our services may include or link to software or other services provided by third parties (including websites, H5 pages, etc.). For example:
(1) You may use the "Share" button to share content from our services, or you may use third-party login services to log in to our services. These features may collect relevant information about you (including your log information) and may install cookies on your computer or other mobile devices to enable the proper functioning of these features.
(2) We provide links through advertising or other means that allow you to access third-party services or websites, where such third parties collect and apply information about you. These third-party software, web pages, or other services may be operated by third parties. Your use of third-party software or other services (including any personal information you provide to them) is subject to the terms of service and privacy policy of those third parties (not this Privacy Policy), and you should carefully read their terms. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect and does not apply to any services provided by third parties or the information use practices of third parties. We do not assume any responsibility for the use of information you provide to third parties.
1.Personal Information We Collect Directly
We collect personal information in compliance with the principles of legality, legitimacy, necessity, and good faith. Below are the types and scenarios of personal information we collect. Please read them carefully.
(1)Registration (Creation) and Account Login
When you register, log in to Whisp, and use related services, you can create an account using your mobile phone number. You can also provide relevant online identity information (Whisp account, profile picture, nickname, password). We collect this information to assist you in completing the registration process. Collecting your mobile phone number is necessary to comply with national laws and regulations regarding internet real name authentication requirements. If you refuse to provide your mobile phone number for registration and login, we may not be able to provide you with information posting functions (including posting videos, comments, etc.).
Based on our cooperation with telecommunications operators, with your consent, when you use the "oneclick login" function, we will use the functionality provided by the operator to use your device's mobile phone number as your registration and login account, bypassing the need for a password or dynamic verification code, providing you with quick registration and login services. If you do not wish to use the "oneclick login" function, you can register and log in to Whisp through other means.
You can register and log in to Whisp using third-party accounts, but you need to authorize us to access your information on the third-party platform (profile picture, nickname, and other publicly available information, as well as other information you authorize). This is used to create a Whisp account linked to that third-party account, allowing you to register, log in, and use Whisp and related services directly. In some cases, we may need to reverify and link your mobile phone number to confirm the authenticity and relevance of that third-party account.
If you forget your Whisp login method, you can contact customer service to retrieve your password. To safeguard the security of your account, we may need you to provide relevant information for verification, and if necessary, we may verify your identity through real identity information.
After successful registration, the system will generate a Whisp number for your account, which is a public identifier for your account.
(2)Real Name Authentication
In accordance with the requirements of the "Cybersecurity Law" and other laws and regulations, when network operators provide users with information posting, instant messaging, and other services, they should require users to provide their real identity information when signing agreements or confirming service provision. If users do not provide real identity information, network operators shall not provide related services.
Mobile phone numbers, ID card numbers, ID card photos, photos holding ID cards, and facial recognition features (referred to as "real name identity information") are all sensitive personal information. We collect such information to comply with the aforementioned legal requirements for internet real name authentication.
The real name authentication function may prompt you when you use specific functions in the software. You can also complete real name authentication and choose the authentication method in the "Mine Upper right>corner panel>Account Information>My Authentication" section of the software.
We will only collect your real name identity information with your consent or when you voluntarily provide it. Refusing to provide real name identity information may result in corresponding limitations during your use of the software.
When you use the account or password retrieval function, we may collect your identity information, including your mobile number, real name, ID card number or photo, and facial recognition information, to verify your identity and facilitate account or password retrieval. If you refuse to provide this information, you may not be able to successfully retrieve your account or password.
(3) Account Public Information
The system will generate a public display page for your account. You can autonomously fill in information such as your nickname, personal tags, my tags, authentication information (requires completion of authentication), your role, your preferred role, ethnicity, birthday, region, height, weight, relationship status, personal preferences, etc., through the "Mine Edit Profile" function to enhance your information. The personal information you have provided will be publicly displayed to other users so that they can better understand you, which also helps us recommend to you the results of your screening search, provide content that may interest you and provide user matching services. We respect your privacy and personal choices, and except for functions that require real name authentication based on legal requirements, not filling in the above personal information will not affect your use of Whisp accounts and services. We also remind you to beware of dating scams and not to provide sensitive personal information to strangers.
Your number of likes, followers, following lists, number of fans, fans' lists, publicly posted works, Whisp videos you like (thumbsup), and content you have collected will be publicly displayed on your account's profile page. You can choose not to allow visitors to view your following lists, followers' lists, and Whisp videos you like (thumbsup). You can do this in "Mine Upper right corner panel Settings Privacy."
When we publish penalty notices for violations, we will disclose the nicknames and other information of the violators. This is done to create a clean online environment and protect the legitimate rights and interests of our users. We appreciate your support in helping us combat illegal and irregular activities.
(4) Content Browsing and Searching
While you browse Whisp content, we record your usage patterns. If you are not logged into your account, we use device identifiers to record your clicks, views, and shares. If you are logged into your account, we record your clicks, views, shares, follows, favorites, feedback, postings, likes, comments, and more using your Whisp account.
When providing "Nearby" content or location related content or services based on your device's location, with your authorization, we may use geolocation information related to this service, such as precise location information, WLAN access points, Bluetooth and base stations, sensor information, including information you provide in the service, such as address information you set in your account profile or geographic location links you add to uploaded content. This is done to ensure the quality of content or services and recommend content or services that you may find interesting. Precise location information is considered sensitive personal information, and refusing to authorize location permissions may affect the accuracy of location but will not affect the normal use of other functions and services. We will also only display content or services relevant to you based on network information (such as IP) and geolocation information corresponding to the authorized city, county, and street.
When you use the search function, we collect and analyze your search queries (which may be in the form of text, voice, or images) and search log records. Additionally, to display search results that are more relevant to you, we automatically rank search results based on factors such as content relevance and timeliness. Some search results and related search terms may be displayed based on your search/browse history, location information, log information, etc.
To provide efficient search services, some of the aforementioned information will be temporarily stored on your local storage device, and we will display search result content and search history records for you to view and delete after clicking the search icon.
Short video browsing and searching are basic functions of Whisp, and in these basic functions, we provide non personalized high-quality content and search results.
When you play videos or other content, we may use the device's sensors, such as gravity and acceleration sensors, to adapt to your device's orientation, such as portrait or landscape mode.
(5) Content Input, Upload, Publication, and Sharing
When you shoot or publish audio/video, images, text, or live broadcasts, we will request authorization for camera, photo album, microphone, and clipboard permissions based on the type of functionality you are using. If you refuse authorization, you will not be able to use the shoot, publish, or live broadcast functions, but it will not affect your use of other Whisp functions.
We value user experience, and to improve the upload speed of audio and video, enrich publishing functions, and optimize the experience, when you shoot and publish audio/video, we temporarily load the audio and video to the server after shooting is completed, but before you confirm the upload by clicking "publish." If you cancel or fail to upload for other reasons, we will immediately delete the relevant audio and video.
Your published content will display your profile picture, nickname, Whisp number, location or IP location, and other information.
When you publish audio/video, images, text, comments, dynamics, and other interactive content, we will use the geolocation information you authorized to determine the geographical location where you published the content. We will subsequently use this information to recommend your published content to other users.
In accordance with legal requirements and to maintain a genuine and orderly platform atmosphere, create a healthier and better online ecosystem, and reduce activities such as impersonation, rumors, and traffic hijacking, when you publish audio/video, images, text, comments, dynamics, and other content, the platform will display your location information at the time of content publication on your personal homepage, works, comments, etc. For domestic locations, we display to the province (city, district), and for international locations, we display to the country (region). The location information is based on data provided by network operators.
(6) Interaction and Communication
(a) Adding Friends
You can add friends through various methods, including entering a nickname or Whisp account, scanning QR codes, searching for "People Nearby," adding friends from WeChat or QQ, adding friends from your address book, using software matching and recommendation features, and more.
When you use the "Add Friends" feature, we will request access to your contact list, third-party software, camera permissions, photo album access (for QR code scanning), and personal information such as location.
(b) Friend Recommendations
We may provide friend recommendations based on the phone numbers, contact lists, followings, followers, or interaction behaviors of you and other users. Recommendations may also be made based on information you and other users choose to display on your personal profiles.
We request contact list permissions and, after subjecting the information in your contact list to strong encryption algorithms, use it to recommend friends from your contact list. Please note that if your contact list contains your contact information uploaded by other users, the system may use that information to recommend friends to you or recommend you to corresponding users.
We may also recommend nearby friends based on user authorized location information. If you authorize location permissions, you may receive friend recommendations from us, and you may be recommended as a nearby friend to other users. Precise location information is considered sensitive personal information, and refusing to authorize location permissions may affect the use of this matching feature but will not affect the use of other functions within Whisp.
(c) Chatting and Interaction
When you use chat features (private chat, group chat), we may access your clipboard for text input, access your photo album for sharing images, access your camera and microphone for capturing content, and access your keyboard for entering emoticons, among other permissions.
When you use the group chat feature, we also generate group information. You can autonomously set, edit, share, and dissolve groups in group settings.
Your chat records will be stored on our servers, but this storage is not permanent, and we may periodically delete records based on server operations. You also have the right to delete your chat records manually. Deleted chat records cannot be recovered, so please use caution.
When you mention or interact with other users by @mentioning them in your posts or comments, viewing, forwarding, or sharing other users' content, accessing other users' profiles, or creating collaborative videos with other users, we will record the interaction between you and those users. You can choose not to show the other party your visit to their profile or your content browsing activity.
(d) Community
When you use community features (such as "Gossip" and "Topics"), in order for your friends to view the content you share, we collect, use, and display content such as videos, images, text, location information (to enable location based features, we may collect and use nearby WiFi information and the Cell ID of the stations near your device), comments, likes, and other information according to the rules you set. You can delete the content you post at any time.
Based on your authorization in the User Agreement, we may take actions such as copying, promoting, sharing, and personalized recommendations for outstanding user generated content. If you do not agree to us using your content, please contact us through customer service channels to request cessation of use and deletion. However, we do not assume any economic compensation responsibility for content that you have previously authorized us to use.
(7) Live Streaming Function
(a).When you apply for the live streaming function, in accordance with legal requirements, we may collect your identity information, including your real name, ID card number or photo, and facial recognition information, to verify your personal identity. If you refuse to provide this information, you will not be able to continue using the live streaming function, but it will not affect the use of other functions.
(b)If you are a live streaming host, your nickname and avatar will be displayed in the live room. Additionally, information such as comments, gifts, likes received in the live room, the number of viewers, and the duration of the live stream will also be publicly displayed.
(c) If you are a viewer of a live stream, your nickname, avatar, and interactive information within the live room (including but not limited to comments, donations, gifts, online status, etc.) will be publicly displayed in the live room. We will also generate statistics based on your interaction activity within the live room (such as rankings, popularity, etc.) and display them publicly.
(8) Internet Value Added Services or Individual Services
(a) Information Reserved in Third-party Payment Channels
When you perform actions on Whisp, such as subscribing to membership services, purchasing diamonds, or giving gifts to broadcasters that require payments, you will use our payment feature. During the payment process, we may collect information that you have reserved in third-party payment channels (such as Alipay user ID, WeChat open ID, QQ Wallet open ID) with your authorization. Such information is considered sensitive personal information.
(b) Your Payment or Transaction Information on Whisp
To facilitate transactions on Whisp, assess your account and transaction risks, conduct identity verification, and detect and prevent security incidents, we may collect information related to your personal virtual property (such as recharge records), virtual currency (such as love beans, diamonds), virtual transactions (such as giving gifts), and other virtual property information while you make transactions.
You should be aware that your payment or transaction information on Whisp is necessary for us to provide you with the goods and services you purchase, but we cannot obtain your personal financial information solely based on this information, nor can we identify specific individuals. For example, when you recharge through the App Store, we can only obtain a transaction bill number without identifying your personal information. Therefore, when it comes to tasks like refund applications, we will separately request you to provide sensitive personal information such as recharge records, recharge details, and real name information to verify the authenticity of the user, recharge, and transaction.
(9) Customer Service Function
When you contact us (including but not limited to appeals, complaints, reports, inquiries), we may need you to provide your account and real identity information to verify your user identity.
At the same time, we may retain your communication records with us (in text, image, voice, or call record form) and save sensitive personal information such as the phone number, name, email, proof of guardianship or family relationship, recharge and consumption records, as well as other necessary information related to your requests.
We collect this information to investigate facts, help you solve problems, and record the handling plans and results of related issues. If you refuse to provide the above information, we may not be able to provide you with timely feedback on the corresponding matters.
(10) Product Optimization, Fault Repair, Targeted Push, and Personalized Recommendations

(b) We may use your user information to improve the design and promotion of this website, conduct statistics on the use of our products and/or services, and may share this statistical information with the public or third-party technology providers to demonstrate the overall usage trends of our products and/or services. However, when we display your personal information, we will use anonymization and deidentification methods to desensitize your information to protect your information security.
(c) Based on the collected information, we analyze your preferences, usage habits, browsing history, and onsite identity information to provide you with more suitable customized services. For example, we may show or recommend search results that are more relevant to you (rather than general recommendations) and push onsite activities based on your preferences.
To ensure your autonomy in receiving information, if you are not interested in the targeted pushes or personalized ads we recommend, or if you no longer wish to receive such targeted pushes or personalized ads, you can use the relevant feature settings page in our products and/or services to enable/disable personalized pushes.

(12) Notifications and Push
