2. Data We Collect
To provide personalized, efficient, and secure services, we may collect and process the following categories of data through direct provision, automatic collection, or third-party sources. Personal Information: When using the app, we may collect personal information you provide, such as device ID, Google email (when using Google sign-in), and language preferences. This information helps us create and manage your account, ensure smooth service operation, and provide basic user support.
Device Information: We may collect device-related data including device model, operating system version (Android version), unique device identifiers (Android ID, IMEI if available, MAC address), IP address, mobile network information, screen resolution, and device language settings. This information optimizes app compatibility, improves performance, and ensures consistent experience across devices.
App Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with the app, including watched drama content, viewing duration, click behavior, search queries, browsing history, feature usage (like watchlists), and interaction patterns. This data helps us analyze user behavior, improve content recommendation algorithms, and enhance overall user experience.
User Feedback:When you submit feedback, suggestions, or queries through in-app support channels, email, or social media platforms, we may collect your contact information and feedback content. This helps us respond to your needs, resolve technical issues, and continuously improve app features and service quality.
Payment and Subscription Information: When you purchase subscriptions or in-app items, we process transactions through Google Play Billing. We collect transaction details including subscription type, order status, payment amount, and date.

We only retain necessary transaction records to manage your subscriptions and provide customer support.

This log data is used to analyze trends, administer the app, track user activity, and gather demographic information about our user base.
3. How We Collect Data
Third-Party Services: We may integrate third-party services (such as analytics tools, ad networks, social media platforms) to enhance functionality. These third parties may collect information during interactions, but their data practices are governed by their own privacy policies. We only share necessary information after establishing data protection agreements with third parties and ensuring compliance with applicable laws.
Google Services:Since this app is distributed through Google Play Store, we may collect certain data through Google Play Services (e.g., installation source and basic device information) to optimize distribution and update processes.
4. How We Use Your Data
We use collected data for the following purposes, each based on legitimate business interests, contract fulfillment, or your consent:
Service Delivery and Optimization:Use your personal and device data to provide, maintain, and improve core app functions like video streaming and content delivery. We analyze usage data to identify technical issues, optimize server load, and enhance user interface.
Personalized Services: Based on your viewing history, preference settings, and device information, we recommend personalized drama content. For example, if you frequently watch certain drama categories, we'll prioritize similar content to increase engagement and satisfaction.
Security and Compliance: Use data to detect, prevent, and respond to security incidents, fraud, abuse, or other illegal activities. This includes monitoring unusual login attempts, enforcing our Terms of Service, and complying with applicable global laws (like GDPR, CCPA).
Advertising and Promotion: Partner with advertising partners to display relevant ads within the app. We may use your device identifiers, location data, and usage patterns for targeted advertising to reduce irrelevant ad interruptions. All advertising activities comply with Google Ad policies and relevant privacy standards.
Research and Analytics: Use aggregated anonymized data for internal research to analyze user trends, measure content popularity, and guide product development decisions. For example, we may count most popular drama types to plan future content creation.
User Support: Utilize feedback and account information you provide to answer queries, resolve issues, and provide technical assistance. This helps us maintain high-quality customer service.
Subscription Management: Process your subscription purchases, renewals, and cancellations (through Google Play subscriptions). We use transaction data to manage billing, send renewal reminders, and notify you of subscription status changes.
5. Device Data Collection and Usage
For Android devices, we process the following device data to provide optimized services: IP Address: Used to roughly infer your geographic location (if permissions allow) for localized content (like language options or region-specific dramas), analyze usage patterns, and maintain network security (e.g., prevent DDoS attacks). We don't permanently store complete IP addresses and typically anonymize them after processing.
Device Identifiers: Such as Android Advertising ID (AAID), used for personalized advertising and analyzing user behavior. You can reset or disable AAID anytime through device settings to limit tracking. We follow Google's Advertising ID policies ensuring transparency and user control.
Device Type and Android Version: Collected to ensure app compatibility and optimize video playback performance for different devices. For example, we may adjust video quality based on your device capabilities to reduce buffering time.
Network Information: Including connection type (Wi-Fi or mobile data) and signal strength, used for adaptive video streaming (e.g., reducing resolution in weak network environments to maintain smooth playback).
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
This app uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (like HTTP cookies, JavaScript, and SDKs) to collect and store information. Cookies are small text files stored on your device to identify your device and monitor usage. These technologies help us:
• Remember your preferences (like language settings) and login status, avoiding repeated input
• Analyze traffic patterns and generate aggregate reports to improve services
• Deliver personalized ads and measure ad effectiveness
You can manage cookie preferences through device or browser settings, but disabling certain cookies may affect app functionality. We follow Google's tracking transparency principles and provide clear prompts when using tracking technologies.
7. Data Retention Policy

Legal and Regulatory Requirements:Complying with tax, business, or data protection laws (e.g., transaction records may be retained for years to meet financial audit requirements).
Service Necessity: Data needed for continued operation, such as account information saved during usage until data deletion or account closure.
We regularly review stored data and delete information no longer necessary. Anonymized data may be permanently retained for statistical analysis.
8. Data Transfers and Cross-Border Processing
As a global service, your data may be transferred to servers outside your country for processing and storage, such as to the United States or European Economic Area. These countries may have different data protection laws. We implement appropriate safeguards to ensure data security, including:
• Using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) in agreements with recipients

Encryption:Using AES-256 encryption to protect data at rest and in transit (e.g., through SSL/TLS protocols).
Access Control:Limiting data access to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis and enforcing multi-factor authentication and strong password policies.
Regular Audits: Conducting security assessments and penetration testing to identify and fix vulnerabilities.
Staff Training:Educating our team on data protection best practices.
Note that internet transmission is not 100% secure. We encourage you to enable device security features (like screen locks) and update the app promptly to get the latest security patches.

11.Third-Party Advertising
We partner with third-party advertisers (like Google AdMob) to display ads within the app. These providers may collect device identifiers, IP addresses, and interest data for targeted advertising.
