1. Introduction

“Yinjian Laile” is an entertainment and culture app for text and image chat with virtual characters and a memorial album. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect your information.

2. Data We Collect

• Service data: Chat content and uploaded images are transmitted to our servers over encryption to generate replies. We do not use them for advertising or sell to third parties.
• Account data: If you register or log in, we store identifiers and nicknames for identity and Web/App sync.
• Password reset: When you use forgot-password, we send a reset link to your registered email. If more than one account shares that email, the form may ask for your registered name (same as your sign-in name) so we can target the correct account.
• Sign in with Apple (iOS only): If you use Sign in with Apple, we only receive the user identifier provided by Apple to create or link your account; you may choose whether to share your name and email (Apple may also provide a private relay email). We do not collect any other data through this method and do not use such data for advertising or sale.
• Local storage: Preferences and cache are stored on your device and not uploaded without your use of the service.
• Memorial profiles: Photos, relationship labels and remembrance text you upload about a deceased loved one are used only to display a memorial profile and power in-app AI chat context. We do not use them for advertising, public display without authorisation or sale.

3. Data We Do Not Collect

We do not collect device identifiers (e.g. IMEI, MAC), precise location, contacts, SMS or call logs; we do not use ad or tracking SDKs; we do not use your chat or photos to train public models or sell them.

4. Permissions and Use

• Internet: To communicate with our servers for chat and sync.
• Notifications: To send local notifications (e.g. new messages) only after you grant permission.
• Camera and photos: Only for sending images and memorial uploads; we do not access them in the background.
• Sign in with Apple: Used only for account registration and login; see “Data We Collect” above for the scope and use of data involved.

5. Third Parties and Security

We use our own backend (yinjianlaile.com) and do not use ad or analytics SDKs. On iOS we offer Sign in with Apple; Apple handles authentication and we only receive the account-linking data described above. Data is transmitted over HTTPS and we take reasonable measures to protect stored data.

Large language model (sub-processor): To provide AI chat and related automation, we may send necessary portions of conversation text to a third-party LLM API hosted outside your country (currently implemented primarily with DeepSeek; the vendor may change and this page will be updated). By default we do not send uploaded memorial photos as image files to that API; photos are mainly stored on our servers for display and memorial features. Please also read the vendor’s privacy policy (e.g. DeepSeek as published on their site). You may exercise access, correction, deletion and account closure with us; we will assist as required by law regarding third-party processing.

6. Minors Protection

This app (Confes) strictly complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable child safety laws globally. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we find that an account holder is a minor, we will terminate the service and delete related data. Where the service involves minors’ data we will obtain parental consent as required by law.

We explicitly prohibit Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), child sexual exploitation, child sexual abuse imagery and any content that harms minors. We use content moderation (API) and human review to proactively filter and remove content involving child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSAE). The app provides in-app report user and report content (messages/images/videos) with report type options including "Child Sexual Abuse Material / child safety", violation, harassment/bullying and other; we review, take action (warning, block, ban) and cooperate with platforms and law enforcement.

Full child safety and community guidelines, reporting process and child safety contact: Child Safety & Community Guidelines.

7. AI Tools Disclosure

This app may use artificial intelligence (AI) to assist with message processing, recommendations or translation. AI is used only to improve user experience. We do not use your private chat content to train AI models and we use encryption to protect data privacy.

8. App Tracking Transparency

We respect your privacy choices. When the app launches, we follow the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework and may request your authorization to track activity. You may deny authorization; if denied, we will not collect device identifiers for advertising. This app does not currently use third-party ad SDKs.

9. Retention and Deletion

Chat and uploaded content on our servers are retained as needed for the service. In the app you may remove a memorial profile photo and delete messages you sent in group chat. You may also close your account via account features or by contacting us. After a valid request, we will complete deletion or anonymisation within a reasonable period (typically within seven business days), except where the law requires retention. Local cache can be removed by uninstalling or clearing app data.

10. Guest sessions and registered accounts

After you accept the in-app disclaimer, some builds may offer Continue as guest so you can use core features such as preset character chats, memorial content and treasury burn-offerings without signing up immediately; data from those sessions is handled under this policy. Features such as adding friends and signed-in cross-device sync require a registered account and sign-in.

• Privacy and data: On a guest path we do not require phone or email for full registration. If some state is kept only on the device, changing devices or clearing app data may lose progress.
• Guest vs registered account: A new registered account is separate; prior guest data is not automatically merged. We do not use deceptive practices to force sign-up.
• Builds and UI: Whether a guest option appears and how features differ for guests vs signed-in users follows the app you actually install.

11. Contact and Updates

We may update this policy from time to time; material changes may be notified in-app or via your registered contact. Continued use after notice may constitute acceptance where permitted by law. For questions or to exercise your rights, contact us at https://www.yinjianlaile.com or via in-app feedback.

Regional add-on (GDPR / California CCPA): If you are in the European Economic Area, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection and complaint to a supervisory authority. If you are in California, you may request categories of personal information collected and request deletion. We do not sell your personal information as defined by the CCPA. To exercise these rights, use the contact methods above. If a Data Protection Officer (DPO) is required for EU operations, we will add their contact details on this page.
