It should be specially noted that if the information usage scenario exceeds the initial purpose clearly informed at the time of collection, or has no direct and reasonable connection with the original purpose, we will explain the specific usage intention to you again in advance and obtain your explicit authorization and consent.

3. To continuously optimize your product and service experience, we have always focused on the iterative upgrading of technical capabilities. Based on this, we may launch innovative functions or improve existing functions in a timely manner according to the needs of service upgrading.
