We place great importance on your personal information and privacy protection. We always follow the principles of legality, compliance, minimum necessity, openness and transparency, security, and reliability to protect your data security and personal privacy.

This Privacy Policy applies to the products and services provided by Mianchi Tianxin Technology Co., Ltd. ("Sweet Reading") and their extended features, including the Sweet Reading web client, mobile applications, WeChat Mini Program, and any new forms of products or services that may emerge with technological development. By agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge that you understand the basic and non-basic functions provided by Sweet Reading, and you agree that we may process the personal information necessary to ensure the normal operation of the basic functions. For information that is not necessary but is related to extended features, we will separately inform you according to the specific scenario and obtain the corresponding authorization.

1. Types of Personal Information We Collect

In accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations, we do not collect personal information unrelated to providing services to you or unrelated to your use of the Sweet Reading platform.

1.2 Information Collected from Third Parties

When you use Sweet Reading related features, we may receive information returned to us by third-party partners in accordance with your authorization or their service rules, and, subject to laws, regulations, and this Policy, integrate such information with information collected by us.

The specific scope of information varies depending on the third-party service and is subject to that third party's privacy policy and your authorization settings.

However, please understand that no security measure can be absolutely risk-free.

The above processing activities are based on our legitimate need to comply with applicable laws, fulfill our service agreement with you, prevent fraud and risks, improve service quality, and maintain the safe and stable operation of the platform.

3. Disclosure of Collected Information

3.1 Permission and Authorization

We may share your personal information with other parties in accordance with your instructions at the time of consent after obtaining your prior consent. Please note that because other platform users may view information you publicly post, if the information you post contains another person's personal information, especially sensitive personal information, please obtain that person's separate consent before posting.

3.2 Security Incident Handling

The Internet environment is not 100% secure. We will do our best to ensure the security of any personal information you send to us. In the unfortunate event of a personal information security incident, we will, in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations, promptly inform you of: the basic circumstances and possible impact of the security incident, the measures we have taken or will take, suggestions you may independently take to prevent and reduce risks, remedial measures for you, and so on. We will promptly notify you of the relevant circumstances by one or more means such as email, letter, telephone, or push notification. If it is difficult to notify each affected individual one by one, we will adopt reasonable and effective means to issue an announcement. Meanwhile, we will also proactively report the handling of personal information security incidents to regulatory authorities as required.

3.4 Exceptions to Information Disclosure

In general, we will not transfer or publicly disclose your personal information to any company, organization, or individual. However, to the extent required or permitted by law, or where reasonably necessary, Sweet Reading may disclose your information (including personal information) to courts, law enforcement agencies, government authorities, or authorized third parties without necessarily obtaining your authorization or consent: (1) to comply with legal obligations; (2) to comply with legal procedures and respond to claims brought against Sweet Reading; (3) to respond to verified requests relating to criminal investigations, alleged or suspected illegal activities, or any other activities that may expose us, you, or any other user to legal liability; (4) to enforce or administer our Terms of Service, payment terms, or other agreements with members; (5) to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Sweet Reading, its employees, users, or the public; (6) where necessary to respond to public health emergencies, or in emergency circumstances to protect the life, health, and property safety of natural persons; and to process your personal information within a reasonable scope for news reporting, public opinion supervision, and other acts carried out in the public interest. Where appropriate, we will attempt to notify users unless notification is impossible because legal process, a court order we receive, or applicable law prohibits such notice. Where we have not provided notice because of the above legal requirements, if we in good faith determine that the law no longer prohibits us from doing so, we will attempt to notify users afterward of the relevant request. Sweet Reading may need to share your information (including personal information) to ensure the full performance of the contract between us and you. Such disclosures may also be necessary to comply with our legal obligations, protect your or others' vital interests, or protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties in maintaining the security of the Sweet Reading platform, preventing harm or crime, exercising or defending legal rights, or preventing damage.

4. User Rights

In order to protect the security of your personal information, we strive to take various reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative security measures to protect your personal information so that it will not be leaked, damaged, or lost. If you know or have reason to believe that your Sweet Reading account information has been lost, stolen, misappropriated, or otherwise compromised, or if any actual or suspected misuse of your Sweet Reading account occurs, please contact us. You may do so by sending an email to service@tianxin.tech. Please note that before taking further action on your request, we may ask you to verify your identity. You may access and update some personal information through account settings, such as your nickname and avatar. If you have chosen to link your Sweet Reading account with third-party applications such as WeChat, you may also manage the relevant linking status within the scope supported by the feature. You are responsible for updating your personal information in a timely manner. You have the right to request that we correct your inaccurate or incomplete personal information. In certain jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. You may also have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and/or request that we transmit such information to another service provider (where technically feasible).

5. Data Retention, Transfer, and Deletion

We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to achieve the purposes of the service according to business scenarios. If laws or regulations impose mandatory retention requirements, we will extend the retention period accordingly. Your account information and principal business data are generally managed by services under our control.

For third-party services such as Cloudflare Turnstile, WeChat Login, and Apple Login, data processed during the provision of such services may be transferred, stored, or processed outside your jurisdiction in accordance with their service networks and privacy policies. Where the cross-border provision of personal information is involved, we will take necessary protective measures as required by applicable law.

If you no longer wish us to continue providing services to you, you may request the deletion of your personal information and close your Sweet Reading account. Please note that, in order to comply with laws and regulations, tax and audit obligations, dispute handling, fraud detection, prevention of repeated account abuse, and protection of platform security, we may still retain some necessary information within the scope permitted by law. In addition, due to backup mechanisms, some copies of information may not be completely removed from backup systems immediately.

If Sweet Reading undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, asset transfer, bankruptcy, or similar transaction, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. In such circumstances, we will take reasonable measures as required by law and notify you of such changes where appropriate.

6. Account Deletion

The current version supports initiating account deletion within the app. You may enter the "Delete Account" flow from the profile editing page in the app. After completing necessary identity verification and security verification, we will delete the personal profile information directly associated with that account and related in-app data (such as favorites and other user behavior data). Once deleted, such information is generally not recoverable. If you later use the same login method to enter the app again, the system may create a brand-new account for you, but content associated with the old account cannot be retrieved.

Please note that information you previously and voluntarily shared with others or displayed publicly (such as ratings, comments, or other public interactive content) may continue to be displayed on the platform after your account is deleted, but account attribution information associated with such content will be removed or de-identified. In addition, in order to fulfill legal obligations, handle disputes, ensure security, prevent fraud, and retain necessary audit logs, we may keep copies of certain information (such as login records) in our database, but we will separate such information from personal identifiers that can directly identify you within a reasonable scope.

7. How This Privacy Policy Is Updated

In order to provide you with better services and continuously improve our products as our business develops, this Policy may be updated from time to time. However, without your explicit consent, we will not materially reduce your lawful rights under this Policy. After the Policy is updated, we will explain the updates to you through website notices, page prompts, or other appropriate means. We also encourage you to stay informed of the latest version.

8. Applicable Law

The conclusion, effectiveness, interpretation, revision, supplementation, termination, performance, and dispute resolution of this Privacy Policy shall be governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China. Where the law contains no relevant provisions, generally accepted international commercial practices and/or industry practices shall apply. If any provision of this Privacy Policy is deemed repealed, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Privacy Policy. Any dispute or controversy arising from this Privacy Policy shall first be resolved through friendly consultation between the platform and you. If no agreement is reached within 60 days from the date the dispute arises, either party may submit the dispute to the Mianchi Arbitration Commission for arbitration in accordance with the arbitration rules in force at that time. The arbitration language shall be Chinese. The arbitral tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators. Each party to the dispute shall have the right to appoint one (1) arbitrator, and the third arbitrator, who shall act as the presiding arbitrator, shall be jointly selected by the two arbitrators appointed by the parties. The arbitral award shall be final and binding on all parties.
