Privacy Policy

A. Introduction

CANTREE PUBLISHING LIMITED ("PLATFORM"), Unit 5008, 5/F, Yau Lee Center, No.45 Hoi Yuen Road, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong, deeply values your privacy. This Privacy Principles document explains how we collect, utilize, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you access our Site, Application, and/or Services. By using our offerings, you consent to the practices outlined herein.

Our Terms of Service apply to these Privacy Principles. Before proceeding, carefully review this policy, especially the bolded sections detailing key points and legal effects. Checking "Agree" signifies your acceptance. Utilizing our website or application means you unconditionally accept these Privacy Principles. If you disagree, please refrain from using our Services.

B. Age Restrictions

Our Services are not intended for children under 13, who may not use them. We will never knowingly collect personally identifiable information from underage users. If we discover accounts held by minors under 13, we will terminate them and remove any personal data.

Users between 13-18 years old ("Teens") require parental/guardian approval of our Terms and must use an account created under supervision with permission. By permitting Teen use, you agree to the Terms for yourself and the Teen, and are responsible for their activity.

C. Data Collection

To enhance your experience and optimize our Services - from understanding your language to personalizing content recommendations - we collect information that could identify you ("Personal Data") as well as non-identifiable data ("Non-Personal Data").

Upon login, we collect account data like your nickname, email, password, which we treat as Personal Data along with internet protocol address, browser details, query data, and cookies. Linking social media accounts authorizes access to basic profile information you can revoke at any time.

We collect payment details from customers to process transactions. If using third-party payment processors, you provide payment data directly to them under their respective policies.

Survey participation may require sharing Personal and Non-Personal Data to provide tailored assistance.

The scope of data collected relates to your service use and privacy settings.

D. Use of Your Data

We utilize your data as required to fulfill contractual obligations and legitimate business purposes, including:

• Providing and managing Services, verifying identity, personalizing features, processing transactions, research, product development, and technical optimizations.
• Communicating about account activity, updates, and support requests.
• Delivering marketing content and special offers unless you opt-out.
• Upon social media login, accessing permitted public profile data to facilitate the connection.
• Displaying user-generated content on your account for availability when using Services.
• Compiling device statistics, fraud monitoring, and usage analytics to improve Services.
• Age verification through payment details for underage users.
• Purchase facilitation and real name confirmation for payment accounts.

We may aggregate usage data, like pageviews or clicks, to better understand traffic patterns and enhance our platform.

Your data may be processed on servers outside your geographic location, potentially with less stringent privacy laws. Using our Services constitutes consent to this transfer activity.

E. Cookies

We deploy cookies to deliver, secure, and optimize our products. Cookies are text files placed on your device when visiting websites to retain preferences, recognize devices for subsequent visits, monitor traffic patterns, assess performance metrics, personalize content, and support customer service operations.

While you can configure browsers to control cookie permissions, disabling them may limit Service functionality.

F. Information Sharing

Any public-facing details included in your profile, like your ID, nickname, photo, or bio will be shared to facilitate your account access per provided instructions.

Certain features allow sharing User Content externally. For instance, public blogs or social media plugins enable reposting data outside our network, making it visible to unaffiliated third parties.

Before utilizing such functionality, we describe the information shared and mandate third-party partners maintain protections equal to our policy. You can adjust which external parties receive your data through account settings and withdraw approval if needed, though it may impact service availability.

We do not rent or sell personal information without consent. However, enabling product functionality and stable operation may require integrating third-party software development kits (SDKs) which could collect your personal data per their respective policies that fall outside our purview. Review those privacy terms diligently.

G. Information Security

We implement proper security safeguards against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. Only personnel operating or enhancing our Services can access your personal information on a need-to-know basis.

H. Updating Your Data

We provide methods to access, update and correct your personal identifiers and other data across many of our Services. You can exercise rights to review how we handle your personal information, including any third-party sharing, and rectify any inaccuracies by logging into your account. If we confirm details are incomplete or incorrect, we'll notify any third parties who received that data to harmonize records.

You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us. We'll evaluate such requests case-by-case, reserving the right to retain certain information for legitimate business needs like fraud prevention or satisfying legal/tax obligations. In some cases, honoring deletion requests may require closing associated accounts and losing access.

I. Deletion of Your Data

J. Policy Updates

These Privacy Principles may be revised over time, though never to undermine your rights without explicit consent. We note revision dates and archive older versions for review. Substantive changes may warrant additional user notifications. Updated terms apply to all information provided when first creating an account or any subsequent usage. Continued Service access or use indicates unconditional acceptance of the latest Privacy Principles.

K. Third-party Advertisers, Links to Other Platforms

We may display advertisements from third-party ad networks within our Services. These parties automatically receive device identifiers like IP addresses, and may use tracking technologies to evaluate ad performance and personalize the promoted content.

We do not provide any personally identifiable data to ad networks unless involved in an explicit opt-in program, though any information they collect would be processed per their respective privacy policies outside our control. Refer to their terms for opt-out instructions.
