Weline Application Permission Request and Usage Explanation

This explanation outlines the situation where the Weline products and/or services request and use operating system permissions from you. The specific applicable scope is detailed in the following list.

Clear and Reasonable Purpose: We adhere to the principle that personal information processing should have a clear and reasonable purpose, directly related to the processing purpose, and conducted in a way that minimizes the impact on individual rights:
■ To provide you with the features and/or services of our products and to ensure the safe and stable operation of the products, we may request different operating system permissions. However, we will not request all system permissions at once. Only when you enter a specific scenario within the product will we dynamically request the system permissions necessary to achieve the specific function, following the principles of clear purpose and minimum necessity. We will only process your personal information within the scope of your authorization after you grant permission.
■ To provide you with the features of our products and to protect your rights as the subject of personal information, we also provide guidance on how to disable system permissions. You can manage and set the relevant permissions according to your actual needs. You can disable permissions at any time. Once you disable a permission, we will stop accessing the corresponding permission and will no longer be able to provide certain services associated with it, but this will not affect your ability to enjoy other services we offer.
■ Due to device system upgrades and product optimization, the scenarios in which our products request and use your operating system permissions may change. To ensure that you are promptly informed of the status of permission requests and usage, we will update the following list accordingly based on these changes.
■ For business and product functional and security needs, we may also use third-party software development kits (SDKs), and these third parties may also request or use relevant operating system permissions. During the use of our products, you may use third-party-developed H5 pages, mini-programs, or SDKs, which may also request or use relevant system permissions necessary for their business functions.
