3. How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information

Memory collects and uses personal information that you actively provide during the use of our services or that is generated due to the needs of our products/services, in accordance with laws and regulations and the principles of legitimacy, legality, and necessity. If we intend to use your personal information for purposes not specified in this Privacy Policy or to use information collected for a specific purpose for other purposes, we will inform you in a reasonable manner in a timely manner and obtain your consent again before such use.
The types of personal information we collect and use fall into two categories:
1. First category: Information essential for the core business functions of our products/services. This information is necessary for the normal operation of our products/services, and you must authorize us to collect it. If you refuse to provide it, you will not be able to use our products/services normally.
2. Second category: Information that may be required for additional business functions. This information is not essential for core business functions, and you may choose whether to authorize us to collect it. If you refuse to provide it, the additional business functions may not be realized or may not achieve the intended effect, but this will not affect your normal use of the core business functions.
You can contact us via email or feedback channels to specifically inquire about how we collect and use your personal information.
Generally, we collect and use your personal information in the following scenarios:

4.1 Account Registration and Login
When you register/log in to a Memory account, you need to follow our instructions to complete a series of registration/login procedures.

4.2 Customer Service
When you file a complaint, appeal, or inquiry with Memory, to ensure the security of your account and our system, we may require you to provide account information and verify it against your previously provided personal information to confirm your identity. Additionally, to facilitate communication or help resolve your issue, we may also need you to provide the following sensitive personal information: name, mobile phone number, email address, other contact information, and city/region information. We may also collect communication records (including text, images, audio, video, or call records) and other necessary information related to your requests. We collect this information to investigate facts and assist in resolving your issues. If you refuse to provide the aforementioned information, we may not be able to provide timely feedback on your complaint, appeal, or inquiry.

4.3 Payment
When you subscribe to membership services, order products/services, or engage in other payment activities on Memory, you will use the payment function. To ensure the security of your account and funds, as well as the safe and stable operation of payment services, and to fulfill legal obligations such as combating telecom and online fraud, we may collect necessary device information (e.g., IP address) and provide it to the third-party payment channel you select. The aforementioned information is essential for providing purchase functions for goods and/or services. We cannot obtain your personal financial information solely based on this information, nor can we identify a specific individual’s identity.

5. Other Scenarios Where We May Collect and Use Your Personal Information
5.1 To prevent malicious programs and ensure the normal operation of our products/services, we may collect (including in the background) information about running processes to understand the overall operation and usage of applications. Please understand that individual process information alone cannot identify a specific individual. If we combine such non-personal information with other information to identify a specific individual or use it in conjunction with personal information, such non-personal information will be treated as personal information during the period of combined use. Unless we obtain your authorization or as otherwise provided by laws and regulations, we will anonymize or de-identify such personal information.

5.2 For Other Reasonable and Necessary Purposes
If a product/service requiring the collection of your personal information is not covered in this Privacy Policy, or if we exceed the stated purpose or reasonably related scope of the collected personal information, we will inform you through updates to this Privacy Policy, page prompts, pop-ups, in-app messages, website announcements, or other accessible means before collecting and using your personal information. We will also provide you with the option to consent autonomously and will only collect and use the information after obtaining your explicit consent.

5.3 Circumstances Exempt from Requiring Consent Under Law
You understand and agree that we may collect and use your personal information without obtaining your authorization or consent in the following circumstances:
