Privacy Policy of Liaofeng Network Technology Co., Ltd.
Liaofeng Network Technology Co., Ltd. ("Liaofeng Network", "we", or "us") takes the privacy and personal information security of every user of our platform and related online services seriously. To provide relevant, high-quality, and personalized services and product experiences, we collect, use, store, transfer, and, where necessary, disclose personal information lawfully and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We manage personal information with care, prudence, and accountability and observe strict information-security obligations. Except where expressly described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose, share, transfer, or otherwise provide your personal information to a third party without your prior explicit consent.
We may update this Privacy Policy as our business and platform evolve or as laws, regulations, and regulatory requirements change. By registering, signing in, using Liaofeng Network services, and accepting the Liaofeng Network Terms of Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and voluntarily accepted this Privacy Policy. This Policy forms an integral part of the Terms of Service and has the same legal effect.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the Liaofeng Network platform, including registered users, visitors, and anyone who uses our websites, clients, mini programs, or related services. The categories of information covered include:
1. Registration information: Personal registration information that you submit when creating a Liaofeng Network account, excluding public business information—such as company names and registration details—that merchants are legally required to disclose.
2. Automatically collected device and access information: When you access or use Liaofeng Network websites and online services, our systems may automatically receive and record device and usage data. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, system language, access time and duration, pages viewed, device characteristics, network environment, and service interactions. We may also use cookies and similar technologies (collectively, "tracking technologies") to record device, network, and usage information. We use this information for internal service improvement, debugging, and operational analysis; it is not intended to identify a specific individual on its own.
3. Lawfully obtained third-party data: Personal data received through lawful commercial channels or established partners where appropriate authorization permits its use. We collect and use such data in accordance with applicable law and the relevant authorization.
Exceptions: this Privacy Policy does not apply to the following information
(1) Keywords and search content that you actively enter when using search features on the Liaofeng Network platform;
(2) Public information and activity data that you post or generate on the platform, including participation records, transaction information, reviews, messages, and other publicly displayed data;
(3) Records of conduct that violates applicable laws, public order, accepted standards, or Liaofeng Network rules, together with records of lawful controls, penalties, service restrictions, and related measures taken in response.
2. How We Use Information
We use personal information in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, necessity, and good faith. Uses are limited to legitimate purposes, including the following:
1. Legitimate internal use: We use collected personal information only for lawful internal business and operational purposes. These may include improving product features and online services, enhancing user experience, compiling operational data, conducting internal analytics and industry research, preventing cyber risk and unlawful activity, protecting account security, providing customer support and maintenance, cooperating with lawful investigations and regulatory obligations, and fulfilling agreed advertising-service commitments.
2. Restrictions on third-party sharing: We do not sell, rent, share, transfer, or trade your personal information with unrelated third parties without your prior explicit consent. Information may be provided where a third party works with Liaofeng Network or its affiliates to deliver necessary platform, technical, operational, or maintenance services and is bound by strict confidentiality and data-compliance agreements. When that service ends, the third party must stop accessing and using the information, delete relevant user data, and permanently relinquish access.
3. Prohibition on unlawful third-party collection or use: Third parties may not collect, edit, alter, sell, or distribute personal information through scraping, intrusion, theft, malicious collection, or other unlawful means. If we identify such conduct, we may terminate the relevant service agreement, suspend the account, and pursue available legal remedies.
4. Personalized communications: To make our services more relevant, we may use personal information and usage data to show products, service updates, or announcements that may interest you. We will obtain separate, explicit consent before sharing information with an authorized third party for its own product or service communications. You may disable personalized communications at any time.
3. Storage and Transfer
Personal information and related data we collect are stored on compliant servers operated by Liaofeng Network or its affiliates. To maintain service stability, support users across regions, and meet international operational and technical needs, your information may be transferred to servers outside your country or region and may be stored, accessed, displayed, or otherwise lawfully processed there.
We handle cross-border transfers, storage, and processing in accordance with applicable data-transfer and personal-information laws and regulatory requirements. We use appropriate safeguards to protect the security and integrity of information and reduce the risk of unauthorized disclosure or misuse.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you use our websites and related services, we may use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience, simplify interactions, and keep platform features working properly. Cookies are small text files used to record preferences and device or access information. They do not run programs, install viruses, or extract private device data; they are used to improve service efficiency and user experience.
1. How cookies are used: Unless you decline cookies, we may set and read them on your device to support account sign-in, platform features, saved preferences, and a more personalized experience. We may also use them for service improvement and other lawful operational purposes.
2. Your choices: You may accept or reject cookies and similar tracking technologies. You can change your browser or device settings to delete stored data and disable future tracking. Please note: Rejecting cookies or clearing related data may prevent certain features from working as intended. For example, sign-in status or preferences may not be retained, some pages may not load correctly, or certain controls may become unavailable. These are normal technical limitations.
3. Application of this Policy: All user data, device information, and access records collected through Liaofeng Network cookies or similar technologies are governed by this Privacy Policy and are managed, used, stored, and protected accordingly.
5. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers and devices offer a Do Not Track setting that sends websites a signal requesting that activity not be tracked. Because there is currently no consistent industry or technical standard governing how these signals should be recognized or applied, Liaofeng Network services do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. We will continue to follow industry and regulatory developments and update our approach when a common standard emerges.
6. Information Security
We take information security seriously and maintain layered safeguards designed to prevent loss, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or destruction of personal information.
1. Account protection: Platform accounts are protected by dedicated security measures. Passwords and sensitive information are encrypted in storage and transit to reduce the risk of exposure in plain text.
2. Comprehensive security controls: We combine encryption, access controls, physical safeguards, data masking, access-log audits, and real-time risk monitoring. These technical and organizational controls protect information throughout access, use, transfer, and storage and help prevent unauthorized access, alteration, misuse, disclosure, accidental loss, and damage.
3. Security notice: Although we use comprehensive safeguards, no internet environment or security system can eliminate every risk. Please protect your account, password, and device information and take reasonable steps to safeguard your privacy.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information according to the principles of necessity and lawful retention periods. Unless law, regulation, industry requirements, or our service agreement requires otherwise, we retain relevant data obtained through lawful partner channels while you continue to use the platform.
During retention, we may mask, anonymize, or aggregate personal information and retain non-identifying aggregate data for lawful operational purposes. These may include internal analysis, service improvement, legal compliance, dispute resolution, enforcement of service agreements, and regulatory reviews.
We keep personal information only for the shortest period necessary to fulfill the service, operational, or compliance purposes described in this Policy. When the purpose is fulfilled, the service ends, or the retention period expires, we delete, anonymize, or destroy the information as required by law, unless a longer mandatory retention period applies.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy as our business or platform changes or as laws and regulatory requirements evolve. We will provide notice through platform announcements, pop-ups, in-product notices, or another reasonable method. The updated Policy takes effect when published. Your continued use of Liaofeng Network services after an update indicates acceptance of the revised terms.
9. General Provisions
This Privacy Policy and any dispute concerning its interpretation or enforcement are governed by the laws and regulations of mainland China. If any provision becomes invalid due to a change in law, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
