When you register an account on the App, we may collect your mobile phone number and verification code for identity verification, account creation and security protection, which is a mandatory requirement for compliance with the Regulations on the Administration of Information Services for Mobile Internet Applications.

If you choose to log in via a third-party account (such as a Google Account, Apple ID, etc.), we will obtain the authorized third-party account information (including username, nickname and avatar, subject to the actual authorized content) for quick account creation and bound login. Refusal to authorize will prevent you from logging in via third-party accounts, but will not affect the use of other functions.

1.2 Personal Profile Editing

To complete your personal profile, you may voluntarily supplement information such as nickname, date of birth, gender and preferred comic genres. When you modify your avatar, we will request access to your camera or photo album permissions. You may turn off such permissions at any time through your device settings after enabling them.
