This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, process, and store any information that you give us when you use Quick apps service framework.

1. What information we collect and how we use it
1.1 Personal information that we collect and use with your authorization
The purpose of collecting personal information is to provide you 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 your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with our services. The related features include:
1.1.1 Accessing quick apps
Quick apps can run without requiring download or installation. They can be produced and published by any registered, certified developer. Quick apps service framework is a basic framework that supports the distribution and operation of quick apps on smart devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and speakers. In order to allow quick apps to run normally on your device, and ensure a positive user experience according to your device and usage environment, we will collect your device identifier (OAID, or IMEI for devices running Android P or earlier), MAC address, device type and model, device hardware parameters, Android version, Android system identity , system version and type, device settings (region and language only), network carrier name, network connection type, Quick Apps Service Framework version, and platform version number. The information collected may differ based on the type and model of your terminal device.
1.1.2 Managing quick app permissions
When you use a quick app on a device running Quick apps service framework, you control which permissions a quick app can access. Depending on the circumstances of your use of a quick app, when you use a certain quick app, Quick apps service framework will obtain relevant system permissions based on your authorization and grant them to the quick app for use. Permissions for quick apps are granted on a case-by-case basis.
1.2 You are fully informed that we may collect and use personal information without your consent if:
1.2.1 The personal information is vital to national security and defense;
1.2.2 The personal information is vital to public safety, public health, and major public interests;
1.2.3 The personal information is related to criminal investigations, prosecutions, trials, or execution of judgments;
1.2.4 The personal information is essential for protecting major legitimate rights (including life and property) and interests of the personal information subject or other people, but it is hard to obtain the subject's consent;
1.2.5 The personal information collected is made public by the subject at their own discretion;
1.2.6 The personal information is collected from public sources, such as news reports or government announcements;
1.2.7 The personal information is necessary for us to sign the contract as required by you;

1.3 Non-personally identifiable information We will collect some information that cannot be used to identify you as an individual, and that is not considered personal information. For example, in order to ensure your security, if you tap on an external link within Quick apps, we will collect the anonymized external link address for necessary risk verification and interception of potentially risky external links. Furthermore, we will collect statistical data generated when you use specific services, such as device-related information, daily activity, page visits, link clicks, page visit duration, page browsing path; network monitoring data, such as the number of successful pushes; and the list of quick apps used. The purpose of collecting this information is to improve the services we provide to you. The type and amount of information collected depends on how you use our products and/or services.
We will collect device information and system version information that is relevant to your activities within Quick apps. We use this information in an aggregated form to provide you with more useful information and to understand which parts of our products and services you are most interested in. In its aggregated form, data is not personal information and cannot be used to identify you. However, if we combine non-personal information with personal information, such information will be treated as personal information.
2. Sharing your personal information with third-party service providers
Part of the services in Quick apps service framework are provided by third-party service providers. For this reason, we need to provide some of your personal information to our partners, related parties, and third-party service providers in order to provide the services that you have requested. If we share your personal information with such third parties, we will take appropriate measures to ensure the security of the processing of your personal information, including but not limited to the encryption of your personal information. We will reasonably examine the data security environment of the companies and organizations with which we share personal information and sign data processing agreements with them; we will require third parties to take sufficient measures to protect your information and strictly abide by the relevant laws and regulations as well as regulatory requirements.
3. Retention policy
We retain personal information for the period necessary for the purpose of the information collection described in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable laws. We will cease to retain and 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 is saved within the territory of the People's Republic of China.
4. Your rights
4.1 Controlling settings
We recognize that privacy concerns differ from person to person. Therefore, we provide examples of ways Quick apps service framework makes available to you to restrict the collection, use, disclosure, or processing of your personal information and control your privacy settings:
You can reset your system identity or advertising ID by clearing app data or performing a factory reset on your device. On some mobile phones and tablets, you can also reset your advertising ID directly in Settings.
When a particular quick app is opened and used for the first time, you can control the system permissions that the quick app can access through the pop-up dialog or settings interface provided by Quick apps service framework.
If you have previously agreed to us using your personal information for the aforementioned purposes, you may change your mind at any time by contacting us via https://privacy.mi.com/support.
4.2 Your rights to your personal information
Depending on applicable laws and regulations, you may have the right to access, rectification, erasure (and certain other rights) in relation to personal information that we hold about you (hereinafter referred to as the request). You may also access and update the details relating to the personal information in Quick apps service framework at https://privacy.mi.com/support.

The request is submitted through Xiaomi's exclusive request channel detailed above and for the protection of your information security, your 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.

Based on the requirements of applicable laws, a copy of your personal data collected and processed by us will be provided to you upon your request free of charge.

If any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, you are entitled to have your personal information corrected or completed based on the purpose of use.

Additionally, you may not be able to continue receiving the full benefit of Xiaomi's products and services, depending on how much authority you grant us to process your information when you use Quick apps service framework. 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.
