Please note, publicly posted information might contain personal or sensitive information. Carefully consider sharing such information when using our services. Obtain consent from others before sharing their personal information publicly.
(9) Providing Security
To enhance the safety of services provided by us, our affiliates, and partners, and to protect personal and public property from harm, we embed security SDKs developed by our affiliates in our applications. These collect device and service log information, and may use or integrate member, transaction, and device information, along with data shared by affiliates and partners (with your consent or as required by law), to assess account and transaction risks, verify identity, detect and prevent security incidents, and take necessary measures for record-keeping, auditing, analysis, and handling.
(10) Other Additional Services
To offer more convenient, high-quality, personalized products/services, enhancing your experience, we may collect and use your personal information in additional services. If you don’t provide this information, it won’t affect your use of Rakufun’s basic services (browsing, searching, purchasing), but you might miss out on improved user experiences from these additional services:
1.Camera-Based Services: Enable camera access for scanning QR codes, taking photos/videos for reviews or sharing, etc. Even if you enable camera access, we only collect information when you actively use the camera.
2.Photo/Video Upload Services: Enable album access for uploading photos/videos to change avatars, comment/share, provide evidence during customer service, etc. We may identify products/services based on your uploaded images.
3.Storage-Based Services: Enable storage access to ensure stable client operation. Upon granting this permission, we may read/write necessary information (images, files, crash logs) to/from your device’s storage for publishing information or logging crashes.
4.Phone Status-Based Services: Read phone status for account and usage security, and display relevant information. Upon granting this permission, we may read your device ID or advertising identifier.
You understand and agree that these additional services may require enabling camera, album, and/or phone status access on your device for information collection and usage. You can manage these permissions in your device settings. Enabling permissions means you authorize us to collect and use relevant personal information for these services. Disabling permissions means you withdraw authorization, and we will stop collecting and using relevant personal information. However, this doesn’t affect prior information collection and usage based on your authorization.
(11) Other Rules for Collecting and Using Personal Information
Please note, as per applicable laws, if we take technical measures and other necessary actions to process personal information in a way that makes it impossible for data recipients to re-identify specific individuals or restore the data, or if we anonymize the collected information for research, statistical analysis, and forecasting to improve Rakufun’s content, layout, business decisions, and products/services (including using anonymous data for machine learning or model training), such data usage will not require separate notification and consent.
(12) Self-Startup and Associated Startup
To ensure the application can receive push notifications from the client even when closed or running in the background, the application needs to use self-startup capabilities. It may occasionally wake itself up or initiate related startup actions via system broadcasts, necessary for the realization of specific functions and services.
III. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
(1) Use of Cookies
To ensure the website operates normally, provide an easier access experience, and recommend content you might be interested in, we store cookies on your computer or mobile device. Cookies, or other local storage methods provided by browsers (or associated applications), typically contain identifiers, site names, and some numbers and characters. Cookies help websites store your preferences or items in your shopping cart.
If your browser or browser add-on services allow, you can modify your cookie acceptance settings or reject our cookies. For details, see AboutCookies.org. However, changing these settings might affect your safe access to our website and require you to change user settings each time you visit.
(2) Use of Similar Technologies
Besides cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, and ETags on our website. For example, emails we send you may contain links to our website, and clicking those links helps us track your preferences for products or services, thereby improving customer service. Web beacons are typically transparent images embedded in websites or emails. Pixel tags in emails help us know if the email has been opened. If you do not want your activities tracked in this way, you can unsubscribe from our mailing list.
ETags (entity tags) are HTTP protocol headers transmitted between internet browsers and servers, which can replace cookies. ETags help us avoid unnecessary server loads, improve service efficiency, and save resources and energy. ETags can record your identity to help us better understand and improve our products/services. Most browsers provide functions to clear browser cache data. You can perform data clearing operations in browser settings, but note that disabling ETags might prevent you from enjoying the best product/service experience.
(3) Use of SDKs
To ensure stable operation, functionality, and to allow you to enjoy more services and features, our application integrates SDKs or similar applications from authorized partners. We strictly inspect the security of API and SDK used by our authorized partners and require them to protect data strictly according to this policy and other confidentiality and security measures.
