THIS PRIVACY POLICY IS IMPORTANT. WE HOPE YOU WILL TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT CAREFULLY.
ShortDrama is not intended for children. Children under the age of 12 must not use our Site, Application, and/or Services for any purpose. ShortDrama will never knowingly solicit or accept personally identifiable information or other content from a user or visitor who ShortDrama knows is under 12 years of age. If ShortDrama discovers that a user under 12 years of age has created an account, or that a user or visitor under 12 years of age has posted personally identifiable information or other content to the Service, ShortDrama will terminate the account and remove the information or other content.
Users between 12 and 18 (each a "Teen") may not access or use the Service unless (i) both the Teen and their parent or legal guardian have first agreed to these Terms of Service; and (ii) the Teen uses an account established by their parent or legal guardian, under such parent or guardian's supervision, and with such parent or guardian's permission. If you permit a Teen to use the Services, you hereby agree to these Terms of Service on behalf of both yourself and the Teen. You further agree that you are solely responsible for all use of the Service by your Teen, regardless of whether such use was authorized by you.
We want you to understand the types of information we collect as you use our services. We use this information to operate, develop, and improve our services—from figuring out basic things such as which language you speak to more complex things like which ads you'll find most useful, the authors who matter most to you online, or which stories you might like.
When you interact with our Site, Application, and/or Services, we collect information that could be used to identify you ("Personal Data"). Some of the information we collect is stored in a manner that cannot be linked back to you ("Non-Personal Data").
When you log in, we collect information that we store with your account (typically your nickname, email address, and password for your account), which we treat as personal information. This log information may include, but is not limited to, your Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your query, and cookie data. If you log into ShortDrama with a social networking credential, such as with a third-party account, we will ask permission to access basic information from that account, such as your name and email address. You can stop sharing that information with us at any time by removing ShortDrama's access to that account. When you do not log in to our services, we store the information we collect with unique identifiers tied to the application and device you're using. This collection helps us do things such as maintain your language preferences across browsing sessions.
We collect your clipboard information when you perform a copy or paste action with our Application or Site. Before the information is collected, we will ask for your permission, and you have the right to choose whether or not to allow it. We use the information to enable marketing and promotions. This information will fulfill the customized user experience. Furthermore, the information we collect will be stored in our Application and Site.
We collect your payment information if you are a paying customer. This information is required to complete a commercial transaction on our Applications and our Sites. We use this information to enable and fulfill your transaction. If you choose to use any third party's service to finalize and pay for your order, you will provide your credit card number directly to the third party. The privacy policy of the third party will apply to the information you provide on its website.
If you choose to participate in our survey, we may request certain information (including Personal Data and Non-Personal Data) from you, and this information will be used to provide personalized help and instructions.
The information we collect, and how that information is used, depends on how you use our services and how you manage your privacy controls.
D. Use of Your Data
ShortDrama uses your data as necessary to perform our contract with you and for our legitimate business interests. The purposes for processing and using your data are listed below:
We use cookies to provide, protect, and promote our products. A "cookie" is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. Cookies can remain on your device for different periods. Some cookies are "session cookies", meaning that they exist only while your browser or the application is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser or application. Other cookies are "permanent cookies", meaning that they survive after your browser or application is closed. The cookies can be used by the Services to recognize your device when you open and use the Services again.
We use cookies to improve our service quality and better understand how people interact with us. We use cookies to:
Verify log-in information.
Track traffic flow and patterns of travel in connection with the Services.

You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies. However, please note that if you choose to refuse cookies, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the Services.
Most devices (in the case of mobile applications) and browsers (in the case of web apps and pages) are initially set up to accept cookies and allow you to change your cookie settings. These settings will typically be found in your browser's "options" or "preferences" menu. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
a. Shared Information on our Site, Application, and/or Services
Any information that you include in your publicly visible ShortDrama profile, such as your profile ID, nickname, photo, and personal introduction, will be shared on our Site, Application, and/or Services to maintain your account by your instructions and requests.
b. Sharing Your Data Outside of our Site, Application, and/or Services
Some ShortDrama-related features allow you to provide Shared Information to those outside of your ShortDrama network. For example, publicly accessible blogs and forums, or certain social media features within ShortDrama (such as "plug-ins" that create a direct link between two websites) allow you to re-post and disclose Shared Information. If you share information using these features, third parties unrelated to us may be able to see and use it.
The information we share with such a third party is described to you when you first use that service or feature, and we require that the third party provide the same or equal protection of user data as stated in this policy. You can control which third parties have access to this information in your account. You can withdraw your agreement to the sharing of that information at any time by following the instructions set out here. Please note that if you ask us not to share that information with a third party, you may no longer be able to use that service or feature. We are not responsible for any third-party use of any information provided by you to them.
We do not rent or sell your personal information to other companies or individuals unless we have your consent.
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your data. We restrict access to your personal information to our staff who need that information to operate, develop, or improve our services.
We provide mechanisms for updating and correcting your personally identifiable information and non-personal information for many of our services. You also have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, understand how we use it, and know who we share it with. Additionally, you have the right to correct that information.
You can access and correct your personal information by logging into your account at any time. Regarding correction requests, if we agree that the personal information is inaccurate or incomplete, we will make efforts to inform any third party to whom we have disclosed the relevant personal information so they can rectify it as well.
You can request the deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. We will evaluate such requests on a case-by-case basis. We may retain some of your data for as long as reasonably necessary for our legitimate business interests, including fraud detection and prevention, and to comply with our legal obligations, such as tax, legal reporting, and auditing obligations. In some cases, your request may only be fulfilled by closing your account.
Please note that upon the deletion of your account, you will lose access to or the ability to use all or part of the ShortDrama platform.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We always indicate the date when the last changes were published and provide access to archived versions for your review. If changes are significant, we'll provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, inbox notifications of Privacy Policy changes). These changes will apply to all information provided by those who have visited, used, or accessed the Service at the time they created their account or at any point thereafter. By accessing or using the ShortDrama platform, you are consenting to the updated Privacy Policy.
ShortDrama allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the ShortDrama platform. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send the advertisements and links that appear on ShortDrama directly to you. They automatically receive your IP address when the advertising happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure their advertisements' effectiveness and personalize the advertising content they see.
ShortDrama does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt in or opt out.
You should consult these third-party ad servers or ad networks' respective privacy policies for more information on their practices and instructions on how to opt out of certain practices. ShortDrama's privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or websites. Any data obtained by third-party ad servers that is subsequently shared with ShortDrama is maintained and handled by ShortDrama under this privacy policy.
