Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Jifen is designed as a local-first creative app. Photos you import or capture, thumbnails, city-stamp styles, inspection records, app preferences, and coin balance are generally stored on your device so the app can run its creative editing and archive features.

We do not currently operate user accounts, behavioral advertising, third-party ad tracking, or a public social network inside Jifen. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are commonly used under California privacy law.

2. Information We Handle

3. How We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

• To let you capture, import, preview, edit, stamp, archive, delete, and export photos.
• To create the app’s fictional inspection trail, visual scan stages, badges, and local archive organization.
• To remember your settings, including sound, reduced motion, default city, stamp style, and layout.
• To provide optional coin purchase functionality and update your local coin balance after completed purchases.
• To respond to support requests, troubleshoot issues, prevent abuse, enforce the User Agreement, and comply with applicable law.

Where privacy laws require a legal basis, we rely on consent, performance of the app experience you request, legitimate interests such as support and security, and compliance with legal obligations, depending on the context.

4. Device Permissions

Jifen may request access to the following device permissions:

• Camera: to capture photos for the inspection and stamping flow.
• Photo library access: to let you select photos for import.
• Photo saving access: to let you save exported stamped images to your library.

You can grant, limit, or revoke these permissions through your device settings. Some features may not work without the relevant permission.

5. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information in the limited situations below:

• At your direction: when you export, save, share, email, or otherwise send a stamped image or support information outside the app.
• App stores and payment processors: Apple processes in-app purchases and may handle payment, tax, fraud-prevention, receipt, and refund information under Apple’s own policies.
• Service providers: email or technical service providers may process support communications for us.
• Legal and safety reasons: we may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or a reasonable safety, security, fraud-prevention, or rights-protection need.
• Business transfers: if the app or related assets are transferred, information reasonably related to the app may be included, subject to appropriate privacy protections.

6. Retention and Deletion

Photo records, thumbnails, settings, and coin balance are retained on your device until you delete records, clear app data, uninstall the app, reset the device, or otherwise remove them. Device backups, iCloud or other backup systems, and exported files may retain copies according to your settings and provider policies.

Support emails are kept only as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and improve support operations.

7. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, appeal of certain decisions, or information about how your personal information is used and disclosed.

To exercise rights, email jifencyl@163.com. We may need to verify your request. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by applicable law.

8. Regional Privacy Notices

California and Other U.S. State Privacy Laws

California residents may have rights to know, access, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights. We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We also do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics beyond what is needed for requested app functionality.

Depending on your U.S. state, similar rights may apply. You may contact us to exercise available rights or appeal a rights decision.

Canada

For Canadian users, we aim to follow fair information principles, including accountability, identifying purposes, meaningful consent, limiting collection, limiting use, disclosure and retention, accuracy, safeguards, openness, access, correction, and complaint handling.

Singapore

For Singapore users, we aim to handle personal data consistently with the Personal Data Protection Act, including consent, purpose limitation, notification, access and correction, accuracy, protection, retention limitation, transfer limitation, and breach notification obligations where applicable.

Australia

For Australian users, we aim to handle personal information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply, including transparency, limited collection, appropriate use and disclosure, data quality, security, access, correction, and cross-border disclosure safeguards.

EEA and UK

For EEA and UK users, you may have rights under the GDPR or UK GDPR, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and rights related to automated decision-making. Jifen’s scan and clearance labels are creative effects and are not used by us to make legal or similarly significant decisions about you.

International Transfers

If you contact us by email or if support information is processed by providers in another country, your information may be transferred to or stored in jurisdictions that may have different privacy laws. We use reasonable measures intended to protect transferred information as required by applicable law.

9. Children’s Privacy

Jifen is not directed to children under 13 or the equivalent minimum age in the user’s location. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a manner that requires parental consent without obtaining that consent. If you believe a child provided personal information to us, contact jifencyl@163.com.

10. Security

We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we handle. Local app data is protected in part by your device security, operating system controls, and your backup choices. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so you should use a strong device passcode, keep your operating system updated, and avoid exporting sensitive photos to places you do not trust.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the app, privacy practices, legal requirements, or support processes change. If the changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as through the app, app listing, or another reasonable method. The effective date at the top shows when this Policy applies.
