This privacy policy applies to the LumaShort mobile application and its related short drama browsing, playback, search, favorites, viewing history, language selection, and feedback features (hereinafter referred to as "the Service").

- Photo albums, photos, or user files;
- Biometric information;
- Bank cards, payment accounts, withdrawal accounts, or transaction information;

The Service will not require you to submit the above information. If relevant features are added in the future, we will update this policy before enabling them and obtain your authorization in accordance with the law.
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Device, Installation, and Guest Identity Information
To establish guest identities, maintain viewing records, ensure service security, and perform installation source attribution, we may process:
- Installation instance identifiers generated by the app (install_id);
- Backend-generated internal guest identifiers (UID) and Tokens for identity verification;
- App version, installation source channel, campaign, Install Referrer, and other attribution information;
- Device model, operating system version, system language, time zone, network type;
- IP address;
- Subject to Google Play policy, device settings, and applicable law, advertising identifiers (Advertising ID) and Android ID.
These identifiers are used solely for maintaining guest identity, installation attribution, anti-fraud, service security, and troubleshooting. We do not use advertising identifiers for personalized ad delivery, nor do we provide data for ad targeting to advertising platforms.
3.2 Browsing, Playback, and Preference Information
When you use short drama features, we may record:
- Pages browsed and click behavior;
- Shows, episodes, playback timestamps, playback duration, and playback speed;
- Viewing history, continue-watching positions, and favorite records;
- Search keywords and search results;
- Interface language, time zone, and other basic preferences;
- Playback failures, loading failures, retry count, and other operational status;
- Session information, access time, and operation time.
3.3 Help and Feedback Information
When you use "Help and Feedback," we collect the type of issue you select and the textual description you provide. The Help and Feedback feature does not require you to fill in account, payment, or withdrawal information, nor does it default to supporting the upload of images or attachments.
3.4 Local Storage Information
To improve the user experience, we may store language preferences, watch history, favorite status, playback progress, and necessary session information locally on your device. You can clear some records through the in-app features or clear app data or uninstall the app through system settings.
4. Description of Device Permissions
This service only uses basic capabilities necessary for network access and network status checking:
| Permission or Capability | Purpose | Authorization Popup Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Network Access (INTERNET) | Load short drama lists, covers, videos, policies, and feedback content | Usually does not require separate user authorization |
| Network Status (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) | Determine if the network is available, handle disconnections, retries, and playback failures | Usually does not require separate user authorization |
| Advertising ID Permission (AD_ID, if actually enabled) | Installation attribution, anti-fraud, and service security, not used for ad targeting | Usually managed by the system or app store rules, not a separate popup |
We will not request sensitive permissions such as location, contacts, camera, microphone, SMS, phone status, calendar, photo album, or external file read/write. If future features require additional permissions, we will explain the purpose and legally request authorization when used.
5. Purpose of Information Use
We process the above information to:
- Provide short drama browsing, searching, playback, episode selection, favoriting, and continue watching functions;
- Establish and maintain guest identity, restore watch history, and playback progress;
- Display the interface according to the system language, defaulting to English if unmatched;
- Perform installation source attribution, channel statistics, anti-fraud, and service security verification;
- Aggregate usage statistics to optimize content sorting, playback stability, and product experience;
- Handle faults, playback errors, content issues, and user feedback;
- Comply with laws, app store policies, and respond to regulatory or judicial requirements;
- Protect the legitimate rights and interests of users, us, and third parties.
We will not use your personal information for personalized advertising, cash rewards, user profiling marketing, cross-app tracking, or model training unrelated to the current services.
6. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information
In regions where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information based on one or more of the following:
- Necessary for providing services: to offer short drama playback, guest identity, favorites, and history features;
- Legitimate interests: to ensure service security, prevent cheating, troubleshoot issues, and optimize products;
- Consent: to obtain your consent for processing specific information where required by applicable law;
- Legal obligations: to comply with applicable laws, tax regulations, regulatory requirements, or judicial obligations.
You may withdraw your consent according to law, but the withdrawal does not affect the validity of processing carried out based on consent before its withdrawal.
7. Information Sharing and Third-Party Services
We do not sell or rent your personal information, nor do we use service-related information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
To provide services, we may share necessary information with the following types of service providers:
- Cloud services, servers, databases, CDN, and content distribution service providers;

- Legally authorized short drama content rights holders or content technology service providers;
- Legal, accounting, auditing, and other professional advisors.
We require service providers to process information only for agreed purposes and within necessary scope, and to implement corresponding protective measures. This service does not integrate third-party advertising SDKs for monetization. If we integrate ads, cash rewards, withdrawals, or other SDKs in the future, we will update this policy before the launch, specifying the relevant SDKs, purposes, types of information, and links to privacy policies.
We may provide necessary information as required by law, or upon legitimate requests from judicial or regulatory authorities, or when necessary to protect the rights and interests of users, the public, and ourselves.
8. Information Retention Period
We retain information only for the minimum period necessary to achieve the purposes described in this policy, and delete or anonymize it once the period expires. The suggested initial strategy is as follows, with the final duration confirmed by the operating entity based on business and legal advice:
| Information Type | Suggested Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Guest identity, favorites, and viewing progress | Deleted when the user actively removes it, after [180] consecutive days of inactivity, or upon service termination |
| Search, playback, and page activity logs | [90] days, after which they are deleted or aggregated into anonymized statistics |
| Feedback content | [12] months, or a reasonable period after processing is completed |
| Security, anti-fraud, and access logs | [180] days, unless otherwise required by law |
| Aggregated statistical data | Can be stored long-term, but no longer used to identify individuals |
If the law requires a longer retention period, or it is necessary for handling disputes, investigating violations, or responding to legal requests, we may extend the retention period in accordance with the law.
9. Cross-Border Data Transfer
This service is provided to multiple countries and regions, and information may be stored or processed on servers outside your country or region. We will take necessary measures in accordance with applicable laws, such as signing standard contractual clauses, conducting transfer risk assessments, or using other legal transfer mechanisms.
The specific server locations, recipients, and service provider list for cross-border transfers will be supplemented and publicly announced prior to the official launch.
10. Information Security
We adopt reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including access control, transmission encryption, least privilege principle, log auditing, key management, and security incident response.
There is no absolute security in internet transmission and storage. If a security incident potentially affecting your rights occurs, we will take remedial measures and notify you as required by applicable law.
11. Your Rights
Within the scope permitted by applicable laws, you may have the following rights:
- Access information we hold about you;
- Correct inaccurate information;
- Delete watch history, favorites, feedback, or other information;
- Restrict or object to certain processing;
- Withdraw consent;
- Obtain copies of information or request transfer;
- Be free from unlawful discrimination;
- Lodge complaints with us or local regulatory authorities.
You can clear your watch history, remove favorites, adjust language, or contact us via Help & Feedback in the App. Since this service does not require an account, to prevent accidental deletion, we may need you to provide an installation instance ID, guest information displayed on the device, or other reasonable verification information.
We typically respond within [30] days or within the period required by applicable law. If we cannot fulfill your request, we will explain the reasons.
12. Children and Minors
This service is not intended for children under 13 years old and will not actively target children. If the digital consent age in your country or region is higher than 13 years old, please use this service under the consent and guidance of a guardian.
If we find that children's information has been collected without obtaining the necessary authorization, it will be deleted in accordance with the law or other appropriate measures will be taken. Guardians can contact us through the method at the end of this policy.
13. Local Storage and Similar Technologies
This service may use local storage, caching, Tokens, and similar technologies to maintain guest identities apart from login status, save language preferences and viewing progress, ensure security, and improve performance. This service does not use third-party advertising cookies or advertising tracking technologies.
You can clear cache and app data through in-app functions or device system settings. After clearing, some guest history and preferences may not be recoverable.
14. Updates to This Policy
We may update this policy due to changes in functionality, service providers, laws, or app store policies.
