Thank you for choosing the ShortBox platform (hereinafter referred to as "this App" or "ShortBox")!

Please make sure to read and understand this Policy carefully. By using or continuing to use ShortBox, you are deemed to have agreed to all the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Account Information
When you log in via Google, Apple, or Facebook, we may obtain the nickname, avatar, email address, and unique identifier of your third - party account authorized by the relevant third - party platforms. This information is acquired through the third - party account authorization interface. We only access identifying information and never collect core sensitive data such as account passwords.
Account Authorization Information
This includes the authorization login time and login device identifier, which will be automatically identified when you log in.
Basic Device Information
It covers device model, operating system version, application version number, network connection type, and unique device identifiers (e.g., IMEI). Such information is automatically collected during the operation of the application, specifically when you launch the application for the first time and each subsequent time you open it.
Service Usage Data
This consists of short - drama playback records (including only the ID of the short dramas watched, the number of episodes viewed, playback duration, and pause/resume points) and application crash logs (e.g., crash time and error codes). This type of information is automatically recorded by the application backend during the process of watching short dramas and when the application exits abnormally.
Technical Adaptation Data
It includes network connection type and application version number. This information is obtained in real - time while the application is running, specifically when the application is launched and when the played content is switched.
Advertising Data
We may collect ad display and click records, anonymous device identifiers (e.g., IDFA, AAID), ad interaction events, and exposure frequency through third - party advertising partners (such as Google AdMob, AppLovin, etc.). This is done to provide personalized ad recommendations and conduct anti - fraud detection.
Clipboard Information
When you use the copy/paste function, this application will access the clipboard content to enhance operational convenience. However, we will not collect sensitive information or share the clipboard content with third parties.
We collect the above - mentioned data solely to improve service quality and for no other purposes. The specific purposes are as follows:
Identity Recognition: Identify user identities through third - party account identifiers to facilitate account binding and prevent duplicate registrations. It also ensures that you can continue to view historical data when you switch devices.
Adaptation and Compatibility Optimization: Adjust video playback parameters according to the device model and system version to avoid issues such as abnormal screen adaptation and stuttering.
Maintenance of Service Stability: Locate technical vulnerabilities by analyzing crash logs, repair application malfunctions in a timely manner, and ensure the normal operation of the playback function.
Improvement of Content Experience: Count the viewing duration of different short dramas to optimize the content recommendation algorithm.
Advertising Services: Display third - party ads that may be relevant to you based on advertising identifiers and user interaction behaviors (not precise pushes based on personally sensitive information), so as to avoid the disturbance caused by irrelevant ads.
Security and Operational Optimization: Detect abnormal logins (such as logins from unfamiliar devices in different locations) through device information and login records. Fix technical problems using crash logs to reduce application crashes, data anomalies, and other issues, thereby ensuring stable service operation.
The servers for storing information may be located in data centers within or outside the country. By providing us with your data, you agree to such data transmission.
We adopt security measures including encrypted transmission, access control, and firewall isolation to prevent unauthorized access to or leakage of data and ensure the security of data storage.
To implement functions such as advertising and account login, we will cooperate with strictly selected third parties. We only share the information necessary for realizing these functions and will require third parties to comply with privacy protection obligations. The details are as follows:
Account Authorization Services: We will share unique account identifiers and authorization times with Google, Apple, and Facebook. The purpose of this sharing is to enable third - party account login and help you complete account verification quickly.
Advertising Service Providers: We will share advertising identifiers and interaction behaviors with third - party advertising service providers to display ads and optimize ad relevance.
Data Analysis Services: We will share anonymized device information and service usage data (such as application usage duration and crash data) with third - party data service providers. This is to optimize services and content, as well as analyze user usage habits to enhance the product experience.
We promise that without your explicit authorization, we will never sell or disclose your personal information to any third party. We will not share personally identifiable sensitive information (such as non - anonymized device identifiers) with third parties for non - service - related purposes. If a third party violates privacy protection obligations, we will immediately terminate the cooperation with it and hold it accountable.
If required by laws and regulations or legal requests from government authorities, we may provide the necessary information in accordance with the law.
