Water Match: Sort to Bloom hereby informs you (the user) that the services we provide are categorized into basic services. If you voluntarily choose to provide us with your personal privacy information to access our value-added services, we will obtain your authorization or consent as described below and commit to protecting your privacy information as follows:

1. What Information Do We Collect About You?

(1) To ensure you can normally access and enjoy our game services, we will collect basic information necessary for service provision, including your device model, operating system, unique device identifier, login IP address, software version number, network access method, type, and status.

2. How Do We Collect Your Personal Information (Including Private and Public Information)?

(1) Cookies
To ensure proper operation of our website, we may store small data files called "Cookies" on your mobile device. Cookies typically contain identifiers, site names, and a combination of numbers and characters. With Cookies, websites can store your preferences or items in your shopping cart. We will not use Cookies for any purposes beyond those stated in this service. You may manage or delete Cookies according to your preferences. You can clear all Cookies stored on your computer, and most web browsers offer features to block Cookies. However, if you choose to do so, you will need to manually adjust your user settings each time you visit our website.

(2) Web Beacons and Pixel Tags
In addition to Cookies, we also use other similar technologies such as web beacons and pixel tags on our website. For example, emails we send you may contain clickable URLs linking to content on our website. If you click such a link, we will track the click to better understand your product or service preferences and improve customer service. Web beacons are typically transparent images embedded in websites or emails. Through pixel tags in emails, we can determine whether an email has been opened. If you do not wish your activities to be tracked in this manner, you may unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time.

(3) Optimizing User Experience
With your prior consent, we may collect your information or request system permissions for purposes such as analyzing your usage of our products or services, optimizing network quality across different regions, and improving ad performance. This includes:

• Search or browsing history while using our products or services, as well as other information or content details you view or request;

We will not request auto-start permissions from you, nor do we include auto-start functionality.

You may choose not to provide the personal information required for these extended features or deny the relevant system permissions. In such cases, you will not be able to use these specific services. You may revoke these permissions at any time through your device’s system settings. Revoking permissions means you withdraw your consent, and we will cease collecting and using the associated personal information and will no longer provide the corresponding services. However, this decision will not affect the processing of your personal information based on prior consent. Please note that declining these extended features will not impact your ability to use our basic services.

(4) Exceptions to Consent Requirement
Pursuant to applicable laws, regulations, and national standards, we may collect and use your personal information without your explicit consent in the following circumstances:

• When necessary to enter into or perform a contract to which you are a party;
• When necessary to fulfill legal obligations or statutory duties;
• When necessary to respond to public health emergencies or protect life, health, or property in urgent situations;
• When the data controller is a news organization lawfully conducting journalism or public interest oversight within reasonable limits;
• When processing personal information that you have voluntarily disclosed or that has been lawfully made public through other channels;
• Other circumstances stipulated by laws or administrative regulations.

Please understand that our features and services are continuously updated and expanded. If a new feature or service not previously described collects your information, we will inform you via page notices, interactive workflows, website announcements, etc., specifying the type, scope, and purpose of data collection, and seek your consent accordingly.

6. How We Share, Transfer, or Publicly Disclose Your Personal Information

6.1 Sharing
We will not share your personal information with any company, organization, or individual outside our entity, except in the following cases:

• With your explicit consent;
• As required by laws, regulations, or mandatory requests from government authorities;
• With our affiliated companies: We may share your personal information with affiliates, but only the minimum necessary data, strictly for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. Affiliates must obtain your renewed consent if they intend to change the purpose of processing. “Affiliated companies” refer to any entity currently or prospectively controlled by, under common control with, or controlling us. “Control” means the power to determine financial and operational policies, holding directly or indirectly more than 50% of management or decision-making rights, and deriving benefits from operations.
• With authorized partners: Certain services may be delivered through partners. We may share limited personal information with them solely to enhance customer service and user experience. We share data only for lawful, legitimate, necessary, specific, and explicit purposes, and partners are prohibited from using shared data for any other purpose. We require all partners to sign strict data protection agreements, obligating them to handle user information per our instructions, this Privacy Policy, and other confidentiality and security measures.

6.2 Transfer
We will not transfer your personal information to any company, organization, or individual, except:

• With your explicit consent;
• In the event of mergers, acquisitions, asset transfers, or bankruptcy, if personal information is transferred, we will notify you and ensure the new controller continues to protect your data at a standard no lower than this policy. Otherwise, the new entity must re-obtain your consent.

6.3 Public Disclosure
We will publicly disclose your personal information only when:

• You have given explicit consent; or
• Required by law, legal proceedings, litigation, or mandatory requests from government authorities.

6.4 Exceptions to Prior Consent for Sharing, Transfer, or Disclosure
Prior consent is not required in the following situations:

• Related to national or defense security;
• Related to public safety, public health, or major public interests;
• Related to criminal investigation, prosecution, trial, or enforcement;
• Necessary to protect vital legal rights of you or others when obtaining consent is impractical;
• Information you have voluntarily disclosed to the public;
• Information collected from legally public sources (e.g., news reports, government disclosures).

3. How We Protect Your Personal Information

(1) We take your information security seriously. We employ reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, use, alteration, damage, or loss of your data. Measures include encryption, trusted protection mechanisms against malicious attacks, access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel, and regular employee training on privacy and security awareness. We have established dedicated management systems, procedures, and organizational structures to ensure data security. In the event of a data breach, we will activate emergency protocols to contain the incident and notify you via push notifications, announcements, etc. While we strive to protect your information, please understand that no security measure is foolproof.

(2) We take all reasonably feasible steps to avoid collecting unnecessary personal information. Data retention period: We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes stated in this policy, unless extended by law. After the retention period, we will delete or anonymize your data.
Example: If you register using a phone number, we must retain it to ensure uninterrupted service. Upon account deletion, we will remove the associated data. However, retention periods may be extended to comply with legal requirements, court orders, government mandates, or to protect public interest, our users, affiliates, employees, or third parties’ legitimate rights.

If our product or service ceases operations, we will notify you via push alerts or announcements and delete or anonymize your data within a reasonable timeframe. “Anonymization” means processing personal information so it cannot identify an individual and cannot be reversed. Anonymized data is no longer considered personal information.

(3) Please use strong passwords to help secure your account. While we endeavor to protect information you send us, we also encourage you to enhance your own security awareness. We are only liable for data breaches directly caused by us. Therefore, please safeguard your account credentials to prevent unauthorized access.

(4) The internet is not 100% secure. We will do our best to ensure the security of information you transmit to us. In the unlikely event of a data security incident, we will promptly inform you—per legal requirements—of the incident’s nature, potential impact, our response measures, your risk mitigation options, and available remedies. Notifications will be sent via email, letter, phone, SMS, push alerts, or public announcements if individual notice is impractical. We will also report incidents to regulators as required.

4. Your Rights

You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all personal data you submit. We strive to maintain the accuracy and completeness of your data. In accordance with Chinese laws, regulations, standards, and international best practices, you have the right to:

• Access your specific personal data held by us (subject to legal exceptions);
• Request correction of inaccurate data;
• Request deletion of your personal data as permitted by law.

To exercise these rights, please contact us. For security, you may be asked to submit a written request. We may deny requests deemed fraudulent, impractical, or infringing on others’ privacy or rights.

You may request deletion of your personal information if:

• Our processing violates laws;
• We collected/used your data without explicit consent;
• Our processing severely breaches our agreement with you.

For security, identity verification may be required before processing your request. Reasonable requests are generally free, but excessive or repetitive requests may incur a fee. We may refuse requests that are frivolous, technically infeasible (e.g., requiring new system development), pose risks to others, or are highly impractical (e.g., involving backup tapes).

We cannot respond to requests in the following cases:

• Related to our legal obligations;
• Directly related to national or defense security;
• Directly related to public safety, health, or major public interests;
• Directly related to criminal investigations, prosecutions, trials, or judgments;
• Clear evidence of malicious intent or abuse of rights by the requester;
• Necessary to protect vital rights of you or others when consent is impractical;
• Compliance would severely harm the rights of you, others, or organizations;
• Involves trade secrets.

5. Processing of Children’s Personal Information

Children may not create user accounts or use our services without consent from a parent or legal guardian (“guardian”). If we collect children’s personal information with guardian consent, we will only use or disclose it as permitted by law, with explicit guardian consent, or when necessary to protect the child. We define “children” as individuals under 14 years of age, regardless of local definitions. If we inadvertently collect a child’s data without verifiable guardian consent, we will promptly delete it.

6. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy. Without your explicit consent, we will not reduce your rights under this policy. Updates will be posted on our platform. For significant changes, we will provide prominent notice (e.g., via email for certain services). Significant changes include:

• Major changes to our service model (e.g., purposes, types, or usage of personal data);
• Changes in ownership or organizational structure (e.g., due to business adjustments, bankruptcy, or mergers);
• Changes in primary recipients of shared, transferred, or disclosed data;
• Major changes to your rights or how you exercise them;
• Changes to our data protection department, contact details, or complaint channels;
• High-risk findings in data protection impact assessments.

7. Cross-Border Transfer of Your Personal Information

Personal information collected and generated within the People’s Republic of China (PRC) will, in principle, be stored within the PRC. However, as we operate globally, your data may be transferred to or accessed from jurisdictions outside your country of use, with your consent. These jurisdictions may have different or no data protection laws. In such cases, we will ensure your data receives protection equivalent to that within the PRC—for example, by obtaining your consent for cross-border transfer or implementing de-identification measures before transfer.

8. How This Privacy Policy Is Updated

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be published on our website with a revised date. Unless otherwise mandated by law or regulation, updated terms take effect seven days after posting. Your continued use of our services or website after updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
