Browsing history, bookmarks, custom home‑page popular sites;
Web cache, website‑written Cookies, search records;
Images, videos and documents downloaded from web pages;

All above‑mentioned content is stored locally on your device by default. We will not actively upload your browsing history, bookmarks, downloaded files, search records or Cookies to our servers. You may actively clear local data such as browser search history, browsing history, Cookies and cache; cleared data may be irrecoverable, please operate with caution.
Websites may write Cookies or apply similar technologies by themselves. Information‑processing behaviors of third‑party websites shall be governed by their own privacy policies.
The Application requests or uses permissions only to realize corresponding functions:
· Storage Permission: Used for saving downloaded web‑page videos, images and performing junk‑file cleanup. We only process files relevant to browser functions and will not access your photo albums, contacts or private documents without your permission.
· Network Permission: Used for loading web pages, online search, fetching weather and news information, counting application traffic consumption and downloading web‑page media resources.
· Camera Permission: Pop‑up application and camera invocation will only be triggered when you actively use relevant functions. The camera will not be invoked when the Application runs idle in background.
· Location Permission: Only used for positioning by weather‑card module. You may deny authorization, and this will not affect other functions of the browser.
· Notification Permission: Used for status alerts such as completion of video download. You may disable notification permission at any time in your mobile‑device system settings.
To enhance stability, adapt to different device models and fix crashes, we may collect device and usage data that cannot identify a specific individual, including: device model, system version, system language, time zone, advertising identifier, application function‑click behaviors and page‑stay duration.
Such data will be de‑identified and anonymized. It is only used for product iteration, fault troubleshooting, performance optimization and security protection and will not be associated with your real identity.
This Application contains advertisements. To support free operation of the Application, we use advertising identifiers for ad delivery, frequency control and anti‑cheating purposes. An advertising identifier is randomly generated by your device system and is not directly associated with your real identity; it is used to measure advertising effectiveness, control ad display frequency and identify abnormal clicks.
Your mobile device may allow you to opt out of interest‑based advertising using application‑usage information: on Android devices select “Opt out of interest‑based ads” or “Opt out of ad personalization”; on iOS devices select “Limit Ad Tracking”.
After opting out of personalized ads, you may still receive advertisements, yet ads will be less relevant to your interests. Exact option names and paths vary depending on system versions and device manufacturers.
When you submit questions or feature suggestions via email or in‑app channels, we receive content you voluntarily provide. Such information is only used for troubleshooting your issues and replying to your feedback and will not be used for other purposes.
We use aforementioned information only for the following purposes:
· Providing core functions including web browsing and search;
· Implementing auxiliary functions such as junk‑file cleanup and privacy cleanup;
· Diagnosing crashes, optimizing performance, adapting to devices and improving interactive experience;
· Preventing fraud and safeguarding application and device security;
· Complying with applicable laws and cooperating with lawful requests from competent authorities.
If information needs to be used for purposes not specified in this policy, we will provide separate notice and obtain your consent in accordance with law.
You may view, grant or revoke permissions for this Application at any time in your device Settings. After disabling permissions, corresponding functions may become unavailable, while other functions independent of such permissions can still be used.
You may clear local browsing records, search history, Cookies and cache through the Application’s privacy‑cleanup function; you may also terminate usage by uninstalling the Application. After uninstallation, retention of local data depends on your device system and your operations. Some devices will not automatically erase local cached data upon app uninstallation, and manual cleanup may be required.
