1.1 Information We Collect

1.2 Personal Information You Voluntarily Provide During the Provision of Products and/or Services

Litok is a "utility category" app that can be used for basic browsing services without the need for personal information. However, to provide you with additional features such as account registration/login, recording, voice-to-text, customer service, and feedback, you are required to provide us with the basic necessary personal information corresponding to each feature, except for specific requirements stated in relevant laws, regulations, and normative documents. If you refuse to provide such information, we will be unable to provide you with the corresponding feature services. Please note: If you provide personal information of others, please ensure that you have obtained their consent.

Details of Litok's complete features and the personal information we need to process are as follows:

(1) Account Registration/Login

To ensure the security of your personal space, you need to register and log in with a "Litok account" before you can use other services provided by Litok after registration and login, including voice-to-text, customer service, and feedback. When you register and log in with a Litok account, you must set a nickname, and we will collect your nickname, avatar, email address, and phone number. The aforementioned information is necessary for this feature, and if you do not provide it, you will be unable to complete registration/login.

In addition, you can choose to provide us with your voiceprint information. This information is sensitive and refusing to provide it will only prevent you from using voiceprint-related features but will not affect your normal use of other Litok functions.

(2) Recording, Voice-to-Text

When you use the recording and voice-to-text feature services, we require your permission to access and save your voice information and/or other recorded content you provide using the device's microphone and storage on our cloud server for voice transcription. This is a necessary system permission for this feature service, and if you refuse, you will be unable to use the recording and voice-to-text feature. If you choose to upload audio files from your device for transcription, we need to obtain your storage permission to access your local recording content. This is a necessary system permission for local file upload, and if you refuse, you will be unable to upload audio files locally and perform voice-to-text. At the same time, we will collect the transcribed text information and provide real-time processing feedback to you based on your needs, facilitating your understanding of the voice interactions and providing recording viewing and effect analysis services.

Please be informed that even if you have agreed to enable microphone permissions, we will only access your voice information when you actively enable the recording function. Furthermore, although the voice information you enter and the transcribed text information may contain personal information of you or others, we will not identify individuals based on the content of the personal information involved.

Please be aware that the audio files you voluntarily upload will be stored in an encrypted manner on our cloud server, and you can choose to delete this information at any time. Unless you have made a voluntary choice or are required to comply with relevant laws and regulations, we will not provide the aforementioned audio file information to third parties or use it for purposes other than the specified feature.

(3) Customer Service and Feedback

When you provide opinions and feedback to us through our customer service, file complaints, appeals, or inquiries about the Product and/or services, we will collect the text information you enter to understand the content and requirements of your feedback. Such information is necessary for user feedback and contacting customer service.

To ensure the security of your account and the system, you need to provide us with the account information used during registration/login for the purpose of verifying your user identity. This information is necessary for identity verification during user feedback.

You can also provide your phone number and email address to facilitate better communication with you, clarify your needs, handle relevant issues, or help you with other problems. Such information is not necessary for user feedback or contacting customer service. Our customer service staff may use your phone number or other contact information you provided to contact you by phone or email in order to better understand your needs, provide solutions for relevant issues, or assist you in resolving other problems. This is done to provide customer service and after-sales service related to your order requirements, ensure the smooth completion of orders, understand your experience with the Product, and other needs for improving our products and services or providing other services related to your rights.

During the feedback, complaint, or inquiry process, to explain solutions to problems or record relevant problem-solving measures and results, you can choose to provide us with corresponding supporting materials (pictures or videos). The system will record communication records between you and customer service to better help you solve the problems you inquired about and improve the quality of customer service. If you do not provide the aforementioned information, we will be unable to provide timely feedback on your inquiries, but it will not affect your normal use of other services provided by the Product.

To provide you with a clear understanding of the permissions related to your personal information that are invoked by this software, we summarize the situation in the following table. You can check the status of these permissions in your device settings or our client and decide to enable or disable these permissions at any time. Please note that when you enable any permission, it means that you authorize us to collect and use the relevant personal information to provide you with the corresponding service. Once you disable any permission, it means that you revoke the authorization, and we will no longer collect and use the relevant personal information based on the corresponding permission or provide the service associated with that permission. However, your decision to disable permissions will not affect the information collection and use conducted based on your previous authorization.
