"Information Collected Automatically: Device Information, Usage Data, Location Information, Cookies and Similar Technologies. ... We may use your information (such as interests, personalized tags, browsing and search history, device information, usage habits, location information, order information, etc.) and combine it to extract your browsing, search preferences, behavior patterns, and location information through recommendation algorithm modeling."

Flareflow automatically collects location information and combines it with other data for profiling and personalized content recommendations, without clearly specifying what type of location tracking is used or how to opt out.

"We may receive and record information about your device (including device type, operating system and version, APP version, resolution, software package name, device settings, process and software list, GAID(Google Advertising ID)/IDFA(Identifier For Advertising), software and hardware feature information), as well as IP Address."

Flareflow collects process and software lists (installed apps), advertising identifiers, and broad device settings — data that goes well beyond what a short drama streaming app needs for core functionality.

"We may share your information with our partners and third parties to achieve essential functions or provide the services you need, such as payment services, data services. We may share your information with our partners and third parties to help us offer you more targeted and improved services. Sharing with third parties, including partners who entrust us with marketing, but we will only provide information related to the reach and effectiveness of the promotion."

Flareflow shares user data broadly with unnamed partners and third parties for services, targeting, and marketing purposes, with vague limitations on what data is actually shared.

"We may use your information (such as interests, personalized tags, browsing and search history, device information, usage habits, location information, order information, etc.) and combine it to extract your browsing, search preferences, behavior patterns, and location information through recommendation algorithm modeling, programming, advertising models, user behavior analysis, and user profiling."

Flareflow collects GAID/IDFA advertising identifiers and combines data from multiple sources to build comprehensive user profiles for ad targeting and content personalization, enabling cross-service tracking.

"We may update this Privacy Policy. The latest version will be posted with the effective date. We recommend reviewing it periodically."

Flareflow can change the privacy policy at any time with no requirement to notify users or obtain consent — users are simply told to check back periodically.

"We will retain your personal information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed under law. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal information; the purposes for which we use the personal information."

No specific retention timelines are provided — data is kept as long as the company deems 'necessary,' which is effectively indefinite and entirely at their discretion.

"You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information stored by Flareflow. If you wish to delete your account and associated data, please send a request to developer@flareflow.tv. We will process your request within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations."

There is no self-service account deletion option. Users must email a developer address and wait an unspecified 'reasonable timeframe,' creating friction around exercising deletion rights.
