How We Collect and Use Your Personal
Information
In order to provide you with, and continually improve, our products and
services, we collect your personal information when you use the GoalBuddy services. If you do not provide certain personal information, we
may be unable to provide the corresponding services to you.
We will only collect the information that is necessary, specific, and
for clear and lawful purposes related to the services you choose, and we will not further process the
information in a manner incompatible with those purposes. Depending on the services you use, we may collect one
or more of the following types of information:
1.1 How We Collect and Use Your Personal
Data
We collect the personal information you provide to us or upload, to the
extent necessary for the services you choose:
●
When creating an account you may log in
using a third-party account (Apple ID, Google ID). We will collect information associated with that account such
as your third-party account identifier, nickname, and avatar. If you upload or change your avatar, we will
request camera, photo album and storage permissions; without these permissions you may be unable to upload or
change your avatar.
●
If you use the “pin images” feature, we
require camera, photo album and storage permissions so that you may capture or upload images. If you refuse
these permissions you will not be able to use this specific feature, although other Platform features will
remain available.
●
Android widgets and auto-start permissions
(Android users only). If you use the Platform’s widget feature on Android devices, you may be asked to grant
auto-start and related permissions so the widget can obtain real-time user status updates. Refusing these
permissions may cause widget updates to be delayed, but will not affect other Platform functions.
●
To deliver system messages, event
notifications, partner online notifications, task completion reminders, task timing alerts, screen time
notifications, device unlock count notifications, and app usage duration notifications, we request notification
permission. If you decline, you will not receive these push notifications but can continue using other Platform
features.
●
If you enable features such as device usage
reports, app-usage monitoring, or allow a partner to supervise you, we will collect device system information
and usage permissions such as app usage access, screen time, device unlock counts, app usage duration,
auto-start, prevent-sleep and background-lock permissions. These data are considered sensitive personal
information. Please consider carefully before enabling such features. If you decline to provide these
permissions, you will not be able to use the services that require them, but this will not affect your ability
to use other Platform functions.
●
If you enable the “lock” feature and allow a partner to initiate
locking on your device, we will request permissions such as app usage access, overlay window permission,
notification access, auto-start, prevent-sleep, and background lock permissions. These are considered sensitive
personal information. Please carefully consider whether to enable this feature. If you refuse to grant these
permissions, you will not be able to use the features that require them, but this will not affect your ability
to use other Platform services.
●
You may obtain virtual products related to our services by making
payments through the Platform. Please note that payment functions are provided by third-party payment providers
cooperating with us. These third-party providers may require collection of your name, bank card type and number,
card expiration date, and phone number. Bank card number, expiration date, and phone number are sensitive
personal information and are necessary for the payment function. Refusal to provide this information will
prevent you from using the payment feature, but will not affect other Platform functionalities. We do not
collect your payment account credentials or passwords. After a successful payment, we only receive confirmation
from the third-party provider regarding the completed payment and provide you with the corresponding virtual
products. If you want to understand how a third-party payment provider collects personal information, please
refer to the privacy policy of the selected payment provider.
●
To display your account transaction information and ensure transaction
security, we collect information generated during the use of our services (such as purchased goods or services,
order numbers, order creation time, and transaction amount) for display purposes and to facilitate your order
management.
Important notice: Our products and services may introduce new features that require
collection of additional personal information or changes in the purposes or methods of data usage. If a new
feature or service requires collection of personal information that is not covered in this Privacy Policy, we
will notify you via policy updates, page prompts, pop-ups, or other means, clearly explaining the purpose,
content, usage, and scope of the information collection. Your explicit consent will be obtained before
collecting such information. If you have any questions regarding this process, you may contact us through the
