Wallpaper Carousel Rules on the Protection of Children's Personal Information
Introduction
These Wallpaper Carousel Rules on the Protection of the Children's Personal Information (hereinafter referred to as "Rules") govern the collection, use, transfer, and disclosure of the personal information of children (defined in these Rules as those individuals under the age of 14). The child's parent or legal guardian must be clearly informed about how their child's information will be collected and used, and their consent must be obtained in advance. For children between the ages of 14 and 18, the consent of the child or their parent or guardian must be obtained before collecting the child's personal information.
These Rules are designed with you and your child's needs in mind, and it is important that you, as your child's guardian, have a comprehensive understanding of how we collect, use, disclose, process, and store personal information provided to us in your and your child's use of Wallpaper Carousel through these Rules, while ensuring that ultimately, you have control of your personal information provided to us.
These rules exist to protect the personal information of children while using Wallpaper Carousel, and constitute an important part of the Wallpaper Carousel Privacy Policy. In the event of inconsistency between these Rules and the Wallpaper Carousel Privacy Policy with respect to children's information, the former shall prevail. For the terms and conditions not stipulated in these Rules, the Wallpaper Carousel Privacy Policy shall prevail.
Ultimately, what we want is the best for all our users. Should you have any questions about our data handling practices as summarized in these Rules, please contact us via https://privacy.mi.com/support to address your specific concerns. We will be happy to directly address your concerns.
1. What information we collect and how we use it
1.1 Children's personal information that we collect and use with your authorization
The purpose of collecting the personal information of children is to provide them with products and/or services, and to ensure that we comply with applicable laws, regulations, and other regulatory requirements. You have the right to choose whether or not to provide the information we have requested, but in most cases, if you do not provide the child's personal information, we may not be able to provide the relevant products or services or respond to queries.
Xiaomi will only collect and use children's personal information for the purposes described in these Rules. We may process children's relevant personal information in the course of providing the following services and features:
1.1.1 Browsing images
When you or your child browse images in Wallpaper Carousel, we collect information such as the IDs of images you view. To optimize your browsing experience, we resize images to fit your screen. In order to deliver such services, we collect information including device identifier (Android ID or OAID), device type, Android and MIUI version information, Wallpaper Carousel version, language settings, device resolution, and network type.
1.1.2 Marking images
Your child can add an image to favorites, remove it from their carousel, or subscribe to its category. In order to deliver such services, we collect information such as device identifier (Android ID or OAID), the IDs of images they delete, of their favorites, and of their subscriptions.
In order to protect the physical and mental health of children, when a user is signed in to a child account, the ability to browse, mark, and subscribe to images will be subject to age-related filters that block content that may not be suitable for children.
1.2 Personal information you may choose whether to authorize us to collect and use
To improve you and your child's experience using Wallpaper Carousel, we may collect and use their personal information for the following additional features to work. If your child does not provide this personal information, they can still use Wallpaper Carousel, but may not be able to use some additional features. The additional features include:
Syncing settings
To keep your child's Wallpaper Carousel settings up to date across devices, we collect information including their Xiaomi Account ID, subscriptions, and in-app settings (i.e. update frequency, wallpaper updates using mobile data, and network type). We link the settings to the account so that their settings will be ready when they sign in to the same account on a different device.
If you do not agree to our collection and use of the above information, you may choose not to use the related features, and we will not collect and use the personal information. This will not affect your usage of other Wallpaper Carousel features.
2. Retention policy
We retain personal information for the period necessary for the purpose of information collection as described in these Rules or as required by applicable laws. We will cease to retain, and thus delete or anonymize personal information once the purpose of collection is fulfilled, or after we confirm your request for erasure, or after we terminate the operation of the corresponding product or service. An exception to this is personal information that we are processing for public interest, scientific or historical research, or statistical purposes. We will continue to retain this type of information for longer than its standard retention period, where permitted based on applicable laws, even if further data processing is not related to the original purpose of collection.
Your information will be stored within the territory of the People's Republic of China.
3. Your rights
3.1 Control of your child's personal information
Xiaomi recognizes that privacy concerns differ from person to person. Therefore, we provide examples of ways for you to restrict the collection, use, disclosure, or processing of your child's personal information and to control their privacy settings:
- Edit your child's profile. Go to Wallpaper Carousel > Settings, tap the profile photo in the upper-right corner, sign in to your Xiaomi Account (if needed), tap your name on the Xiaomi Account page, and change the profile photo, name, gender, and other information on Personal info page.
If you have previously agreed to us using your child's personal information for the aforementioned purposes, you may change your mind at any time by writing to us or contacting us on https://privacy.mi.com/support.
3.2 Your rights to your child's personal information
Depending on applicable laws and regulations, you have the right to access, rectification, and erasure of personal information that we hold about your child (hereinafter referred to as "the request").
You may also access, update, and delete the details relating to the personal information in your child's Xiaomi Account at https://account.xiaomi.com or by signing into your account on your device. For additional information, please contact us via https://privacy.mi.com/support.
The request should meet the requirements of applicable laws and the following conditions:
The request is submitted through Xiaomi's exclusive request channel detailed above and for the protection of the child's information security, the request should be in writing (unless the local law explicitly recognizes the oral request).
You provide sufficient information to enable Xiaomi to verify your identity and ensure that you are the data subject or legally authorized to act on the data subject's behalf.
Once we obtain sufficient information to confirm that your request can be processed, we shall proceed to respond to your request within any timeframe set out under your applicable data protection laws. In detail:
Based on the requirements of applicable laws, a copy of the child's personal data collected and processed by us will be provided upon your request free of charge. For any extra requests for relevant information, we may charge a reasonable fee based on actual administrative costs according to and if permitted by the applicable laws.
• If any information we are holding on the child is incorrect or incomplete, they are entitled to have their personal information corrected or completed based on the purpose of use.
Based on the requirements of applicable laws, you may have the right to request the deletion or removal of your child's personal information. We shall consider the grounds regarding your erasure request and take reasonable steps, including technical measures. Please note that we may not be able to immediately remove the information from the backup system due to applicable law and/or technological limitations. If this is the case, we will securely store your child's personal information and isolate it from any further processing until the backup can be deleted or be made anonymous.
We have the right to refuse to process requests that are not meaningful, manifestly unfounded or excessive, requests that damage others' right to privacy, extremely unrealistic requests, and requests that require disproportionate technical work, as well as requests not required under local law, regarding information that has been made public, and regarding information given under confidential conditions. If we believe that certain aspects of the request to delete or access the information may result in our inability to legally use the information for the aforementioned anti-fraud and security purposes, the request may also be rejected.
3.3 Withdrawal of consent
You can submit a request to withdraw your consent regarding the collection, use, and/or disclosure of you or your child's personal information that we hold or control in Settings > About Wallpaper Carousel > Withdrawal of consent. Based on the specific service you are using, you can withdraw your consent by contacting us via https://privacy.mi.com/support. We will process your request within a reasonable time from when the request was made, and thereafter not collect, use, and/or disclose your child's personal information as per your request.
· Attention: Your withdrawal of consent may result in some legal consequences. Additionally, your child may not be able to continue receiving the full benefit of Xiaomi products and services, depending on how much authority you grant us to process their information. The withdrawal of your consent or authorization will not affect the validity of our processing carried out on the basis of the consent up until the point of withdrawal.
3.4 Canceling a service or account
To cancel a specific product or service, go to Settings > About Wallpaper Carousel > Privacy > Cancel services.
If you or your child wish to cancel the Xiaomi Account, please note that the cancellation will prevent you from using the full range of Xiaomi products and services.
