Last Updated
May 30, 2026

Welcome to Yaowise!

Beijing Huoli Culture Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Yaowise" or "we"), as the operator of the Yaowise application and related services (collectively the "Service"), understands the importance of personal information to you. We will strictly protect your personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China (PIPL), the Cybersecurity Law, the Data Security Law, and the Information Security Technology — Personal Information Security Specification (GB/T 35273).

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using the Service, especially the clauses displayed in bold. These clauses concern important matters such as the collection, use, storage, sharing, cross-border transfer of your personal information, and your rights.

By checking the box to agree to this Privacy Policy, registering an account, signing in, or continuing to use the Service, you are deemed to have fully understood and agreed to the entirety of this policy. If you do not agree, please immediately stop using the Service.

This Privacy Policy will help you understand:

  • How we collect and use your personal information
  • How we use cookies and similar technologies
  • How we share, transfer, and publicly disclose your personal information
  • How we transfer your personal information across borders
  • How we store and protect your personal information
  • The rights you have over your personal information
  • Protection of minors
  • Updates to this policy
  • How to contact us

I. How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information

We collect your personal information only to the extent necessary to provide the Service, following the "minimum necessary principle". Specific collection scenarios and types of information are as follows:

1.1 Account Registration and Login

When you register or sign in to your Yaowise account, we collect:

  • Mobile phone number: For receiving SMS verification codes, account login, and identity verification. The mobile phone number is the basic information required by law for real-name authentication.
  • Email address (optional): For email registration/login and receiving service notifications.
  • Third-party account information: If you choose to log in via WeChat, Apple ID, or other third-party accounts, we will obtain your unique identifier (such as WeChat OpenID/UnionID, Apple User ID) and necessary public information (such as nickname and avatar) from the third-party platform with your authorization.

Without this information, you will not be able to register an account or use account-related features.

1.2 AI Interpretation

When using the core AI interpretation feature, we collect and process:

  • Consultation question content: The text of the question you wish to consult.
  • Operation data: Records generated during your use of the Service.
  • Conversation history: Your follow-up dialogue with the AI.

Please note: To generate personalized AI interpretation results, the consultation questions, operation data, and other information you input will be sent to our integrated AI service providers for processing. For specific AI service providers and data flows, please refer to "Section III. How We Share, Transfer, and Publicly Disclose Your Personal Information" and "Section IV. How We Transfer Your Personal Information Across Borders".

1.3 Personalization Details (Optional)

To enhance interpretation accuracy, you may optionally provide the following personal details:

  • Date of birth, time of birth: For personalized interpretation
  • Place of birth: For personalized interpretation
  • Gender: For personalized interpretation

The above information constitutes your sensitive personal information. You may choose not to provide it without affecting your use of basic interpretation features. You can modify or delete this information anytime in the App's "My Profile".

1.4 History Records

To enable you to review and manage your interpretation records, we save:

  • Interpretation records (questions, interpretation results)
  • Follow-up history

History records are kept for the duration of your account. You can delete individual records anytime in the "History" page of the App.

1.5 Device and Log Information

To ensure service security, improve user experience, and diagnose issues, we collect:

  • Device information: Device model, brand, OS version, screen resolution, device language, CPU architecture, unique device identifier (IDFV/Android ID)
  • Network information: IP address, network operator, network type (Wi-Fi/mobile data)
  • App information: App version, build number, SDK version
  • Log information: Operation logs, crash logs, performance data
  • Device identifiers accessed by third-party SDKs: When you actively trigger WeChat login/payment/sharing, Alipay payment, Huawei account sign-in, or receive push notifications on OPPO/vivo/Xiaomi/Huawei/Honor Android devices, the corresponding third-party SDKs may invoke system APIs to obtain MAC address, OAID (Open Anonymous Device Identifier) and similar network identifiers for their own identity recognition, push-channel registration, or payment risk control. Yaowise servers do not collect, store, or receive these device identifiers; the data is independently processed by each third-party SDK under its own privacy policy (see SDK list in Section 3.1.1).
  • Installed-app queries: To determine whether the appropriate share/payment/login flow can be launched, the app uses PackageManager to query specific target apps such as WeChat (com.tencent.mm), Alipay (com.eg.android.AlipayGphone), and Huawei Account. At the app code level, we do NOT request the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission and do NOT retrieve a complete installed-software list on your device. Please note: Certain integrated third-party push SDKs (OPPO/vivo/Xiaomi/Huawei/Honor) and open-platform SDKs (WeChat, Alipay) may query the device's installed-software list internally as required by their own implementation. The specific collection scope is governed by each SDK's official privacy policy — see the "Data Collected" column in the SDK list in Section 3.1.1.

1.6 Payment Information

When you purchase Yao Coins, subscribe to VIP membership, or use other paid services, we collect:

  • Order information: Order number, product name, payment amount, payment time, payment status
  • Subscription information: Subscription type, start time, expiration date, auto-renewal status

Please note: Yaowise does not collect or store sensitive payment information such as your payment passwords, bank card numbers, or CVV. This information is processed and protected directly by your chosen third-party payment channel (WeChat Pay, Alipay, Apple App Store, etc.).

1.7 Customer Service and Feedback

When you contact us via in-App feedback or customer service email, we collect what you proactively provide:

  • Feedback content and problem description
  • Feedback screenshots (images you choose to upload)
  • Contact information (if you choose to provide it)

1.8 Push Notification Tokens

To send you notifications such as interpretation completion alerts and calendar event reminders, we obtain and store your device push tokens. The source depends on your device type:

  • iOS devices: Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) Token
  • Non-Chinese-vendor Android devices: Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) Token
  • Huawei Android devices: HMS Push Token
  • Honor Android devices: Honor Push Token
  • Xiaomi Android devices: MiPush RegId

You may disable notification permissions for this App in your system settings at any time. After disabling, you will no longer receive push notifications.

1.9 Personalization Services

YaoWise's core AI interpretation and analysis features do not rely on user profiling or behavior-based recommendation algorithms. For paid users such as subscription members, we may provide personalization services within the following scope:

  • Scope of personalization: Based on your in-app interpretation history, questioning patterns, and preference settings, we may adjust interpretation style, content depth, calendar reminder cadence, and question template suggestions to better match your long-term usage habits.
  • Data involved: Only data generated within YaoWise, including your history records, subscription status, and language/theme preferences. We do not use device advertising identifiers or cross-app behavior tracking data, and we do not use any data for third-party ad targeting.
  • How to turn off: You may turn off personalization at any time via Settings → Privacy → Personalization Services. Turning it off does not affect core AI interpretation, questioning, or history features.
  • Future changes: If we adjust the scope, data types, or algorithmic mechanisms of personalization services, we will notify you through prominent in-app notices or re-obtain your consent.

II. Device Permissions We Request

To provide the Service's features, we need to request certain system permissions. We only request permissions when you actively trigger the related features, and you can refuse authorization or disable previously granted permissions in your system settings at any time.

2.1 Android Permissions

You can manage these permissions anytime in iOS "Settings → Yaowise".

2.3 Auto-Start and Associated Launch Notice

To ensure the proper functioning of push notifications and scheduled reminders, this application uses the Expo Notifications SDK, which may trigger auto-start behavior in the following scenarios:

  • After device restart: Automatically restores scheduled calendar event reminders and notification services (Android clears all scheduled tasks after restart, requiring re-registration).
  • After app update: Re-registers notification services to ensure push delivery.

These auto-start behaviors only take effect after you grant notification permissions. You can disable auto-start or notification permissions for this App in your system settings at any time.
