3. Privacy and Data Protection

We place great importance on user privacy and data security, and will take strict security measures to protect your information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

3.1 Data Ownership

The ownership of User Content (raw data) you upload and generate during use of the Service belongs to you. We do not claim ownership of your content.

Regarding Processed Data (such as industry analysis reports or usage trend statistics) derived from anonymizing, aggregating, editing, analyzing, and processing raw data accumulated on the Platform — provided that no personal information or trade secrets are disclosed — the ownership and intellectual property rights of such Processed Data belong to us. We may use such Processed Data to improve our services and publish industry research.

3.2 Data Isolation

The Platform employs a multi-tenant isolation architecture to ensure that raw data of different users is mutually independent and inaccessible to one another. We commit to adopting industry-standard security measures (including but not limited to encrypted data storage, access log auditing, and regular security vulnerability scanning) to prevent unauthorized access, tampering, or leakage of your raw data.

3.3 Data Backup and Recovery

The Platform will perform encrypted backups of your raw data on a daily basis, with a backup retention period of 90 days. If data is lost or corrupted due to a technical failure of the Platform, we will provide free data recovery services. However, we are not liable for indirect losses caused by data loss (such as business interruption or reputational damage). You are responsible for regularly exporting and backing up your own data.

3.4 Data Use Authorization

In order to provide the Service to you, you hereby grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display your User Content solely for the following necessary purposes:

  1. Executing service functions in accordance with your operational instructions (e.g., generating reports, sharing with collaborators);
  2. Performing data backups, fault recovery, and security audits to ensure service stability;
  3. Optimizing the service experience (e.g., adjusting functional interfaces based on anonymized usage habits).

Without your explicit consent, we will not provide your raw data to any third party (except as required by law or government authorities).

3.5 User Data Rights

You have the following data rights:

  1. Right of Access: You may log into your account at any time to view and export your raw data.

  3. Right of Erasure: You may request deletion of some or all of your raw data, or request cancellation of your account and deletion of all data (subject to the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement).
  4. Right to Withdraw Consent: You may withdraw your data use authorization to the Platform by contacting customer service, though this may result in certain service features being unavailable.

We will respond to and process your request within 15 business days of receipt, unless otherwise required by law or regulation.


4. Intellectual Property

The Service itself, including all related intellectual property rights (including but not limited to software, trademarks, logos, text, graphics, and interface designs), is exclusively owned by us or our licensors. Without our written consent, you may not copy, modify, publish, sell, or lease any part of the Service.
