3.2 Information You Actively Provide
When using the teleprompter, online trial page, or related forms, you may input the following:
- Voice-over scripts, course scripts, speech scripts, livestream scripts, Vlog scripts, and other text content
- Nicknames, feedback, contact information, or problem descriptions you provide
- Images, videos, documents, or other files you actively upload or import.
By default, this content is used to provide you with teleprompting, layout, preview, save, export, or related functionality.
3.3 Device and Usage Information
To ensure service availability, we may collect or receive the following information:
- Device model, system version, language, timezone, app version number
- Operation logs, crash logs, performance diagnostic information
- Feature usage records, such as whether you enable voice following, mirror mode, full-screen mode, font settings, etc
- Basic network access records when visiting the website or online trial page, such as page visits, referring pages, timestamps.
3.4 Voice-Related Information
When you use voice following or related voice teleprompting features, the app may request microphone permission and invoke system speech recognition capabilities.
We will clearly inform you of the permission's purpose and enable it only after your consent. Voice input is primarily used for teleprompter following, pace control, and highlight positioning.
3.5 Payment and Subscription Information
If you purchase subscriptions or one-time purchases through the App Store, the payment process is handled by Apple. We generally do not have access to your bank card number, complete billing information, or payment password.
We may receive result information related to purchase status, such as whether a subscription is active, current plan type, and receipt verification status, for the purpose of identifying your usage entitlements.
3.6 Analytics and Improvement Information
If product analytics, crash analytics, or anonymous statistics are enabled, we may process anonymized or de-identified data for:
- Determining whether features are functioning properly
- Discovering crashes and performance issues
- Identifying commonly used pages and key conversion paths
- Improving website content and teleprompter experience.
We do not sell your script text, voice input, purchase status, or diagnostic information to any third party, nor use it for ad targeting or cross-app tracking unrelated to product functionality.
4. How We Use This Information
We use information only within the following purposes:
- Providing teleprompter, online trial, mirror mode, full-screen teleprompting, voice following, and other features
- Saving your display settings, subtitle styles, font size, color, spacing, and scroll configuration
- Processing purchases, subscriptions, restore purchases, and entitlement verification
- Improving stability, performance, usability, and content presentation
- Conducting security protection, abuse detection, and troubleshooting
- Responding to your customer support, feedback, or rights requests
- Complying with applicable laws and regulations, App Store rules, or regulatory authority requirements.
5. Permission Descriptions
We may request your separate authorization before using the following permissions:
- Microphone: Used for voice following, voice teleprompting, reading recognition, or related audio input
- Camera: Used for features related to recording, preview, or associated recording workflows (when enabled by you)
- Photos/Files: Used for importing or exporting documents, media, or screenshots
- Network: Used for online trial, purchase verification, cloud sync, or website access.
You can revoke permissions in system settings at any time, but after revocation, related features may not function properly.
6. Information Sharing, Delegated Processing, and Third Parties
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share or delegate processing of information only in the following scenarios:
- Apple: For App Store distribution, purchases, subscriptions, and system capability invocation
- Cloud Service Providers: If you actively enable cloud sync, backup, or online storage
- Analytics/Crash Analytics Services: For anonymous statistics and stability improvement
- Legal Requirements: As required by government authorities, judicial bodies, or mandatory legal requirements.
If new third-party SDKs or services are added in the future, we will update this policy and, where possible, provide advance notice of their purpose, scope, and privacy impact.
7. Default Local Processing and Storage
We prioritize local processing mode.
This typically means:
- Your script content is saved locally on your device by default
- Font, color, spacing, scroll speed, and other settings are saved locally
- The online trial page may use browser local storage to save temporary content
- Only when you explicitly enable cloud sync, sharing, export, or related online capabilities will data enter network transmission or server processing workflows.
8. Data Retention Period
We retain information only for the period necessary to provide the service.
General principles are as follows:
- Local settings and scripts: Retained until you delete, clear cache, uninstall the app, or proactively reset
- Logs and diagnostic information: Retained only for the reasonable period needed for troubleshooting, performance analysis, and security audits, after which they are deleted or anonymized
- Purchase status and subscription credentials: Retained for the period required by compliance and accounting needs
- Cloud sync data: Saved or deleted based on your account status, service settings, and your proactive actions
- Feedback and customer support records: Retained until issue resolution and for a necessary subsequent support period.
If retention periods differ across features, we will endeavor to specify them separately.
9. Your Rights and Deletion Requests
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you may:
- Access information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete your local data or cloud data
- Withdraw authorization and consent

We will respond to your requests within a reasonable period and complete processing within the scope permitted by laws and regulations.

If you believe a child has provided personal information without guardian consent, please contact us immediately. We will take deletion, restriction, or other necessary measures in accordance with applicable law.
11. Cross-Border Transfer
If your information needs to be transferred or stored across borders, we will provide necessary notice as required by law and take reasonable protective measures.
Applicable legal and regulatory requirements may differ for users in different regions. We will endeavor to process data in a transparent, minimized, and revocable manner.
