Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Yiqi handles information when you use the app. Yiqi is designed primarily as an on-device experience for importing a photo, placing virtual blinds over it, interacting with the cabinet, tracking local session statistics, and optionally buying consumable coin packs.

2. Information You Provide or Create

Depending on how you use Yiqi, the app may handle the following information:

• Photos you choose from your photo library for cabinet creation.
• Cabinet settings, such as material, blinds form, slat count, pull-cord style, and optional cabinet labels.
• Local interaction statistics, such as peek count, total open time, maximum open angle, snap-shut count, and last peek timestamp.
• Virtual coin balance and records needed to support premium actions inside the app.
• Purchase-related product identifiers and transaction states handled through Apple's in-app purchase system.
• Messages you send to us if you contact support by email.

3. Photo Library Access

Yiqi requests photo library access only so you can choose a photo to place behind virtual blinds. The app does not need your entire library for its core purpose; it uses the photo selection flow provided by iOS so you can choose the image you want to import.

Imported images are saved as local app data on your device. Yiqi does not use your imported photos for advertising, profiling, or training.

4. Local Storage

Yiqi stores app data on your device, including cabinet image files, cabinet records, settings, labels, coin balance, and telemetry. This storage allows your cabinets and statistics to remain available between app launches.

Your device operating system, backup settings, Apple ID settings, or migration tools may copy or restore app data according to settings you control. Yiqi does not control those platform-level backup or sync processes.

5. Purchases and App Store Processing

If you buy a coin pack, the purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store. Apple may process payment details, transaction information, account identifiers, refund requests, and purchase history according to Apple's own terms and privacy policy.

Yiqi receives the information needed to complete the in-app purchase flow, credit coins, show loading states, and handle purchase success, failure, cancellation, deferred approval, or restored transaction events.

6. Support Communications

If you email us, we receive the email address, message content, and any information you choose to include. We use support communications to respond to your request, troubleshoot issues, improve the app, and maintain records where necessary.

Please do not send sensitive personal information, payment card numbers, passwords, or private photos through support email.

7. How We Use Information

Yiqi uses information for the following purposes:

• To provide app features such as photo cabinets, blinds interaction, local statistics, and premium actions.
• To save your preferences, imported cabinets, local coin balance, and app state.
• To process optional in-app purchases through Apple and credit purchased coins.
• To troubleshoot, secure, maintain, and improve the app.
• To respond when you contact support.
• To comply with applicable law, platform requirements, and fraud-prevention obligations.

8. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your imported photos for advertising. Information may be handled by third parties only in limited cases:

• Apple processes App Store purchases and may provide purchase status information to the app.
• Your email provider and our email provider process support messages when you contact us.
• Legal, safety, or platform compliance may require disclosure if necessary and permitted by law.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

Local app data remains on your device until you delete it, clear related data through app features, delete the app, reset the device, or otherwise remove the data through operating system controls.

• You can remove cabinets through the app where deletion features are available.
• You can clear telemetry from Settings using the Clear Telemetry option.
• You can delete the app to remove app data stored locally on the device, subject to any backups controlled by your device settings.

10. Security

We use reasonable measures appropriate for an on-device app experience. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure. You are responsible for protecting your device, passcode, Apple ID, backups, and access to your email account.

11. Children

Yiqi is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through support communication, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

12. International Use

If you use Yiqi outside your country of residence, your information may be processed through Apple, email providers, device backups, or support systems in locations with different data protection laws.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect app changes, legal requirements, platform rules, or operational needs. The effective date at the top shows when this version became effective.
