Apps Privacy Policy -
This privacy policy is
provided by Shanghai ChuLe (CooTek) Information Technology Co., Ltd.
("We") and applies to Turbo Appps, including our mobile apps and
other various cloud-based services. It is very important for you to understand
what kind of data we collect and how we use them. To provide you better
keyboard experience, we collect data on the way you interact with Turbo Appps
and data on the performance of Turbo Appps. We take your privacy and data
security seriously. We put forth a lot of effort to keep the data that we
collect as safe as possible and use them in a proper way.
1. Data and Usage
Here is some information
about what kind of data that we collect or record at the way you interact with
our application.
Data that we collect or record:
We will collect
information concerning the words and phrases that you input (e.g. an input
sequence, the application's name which Turbo Appps is applied in, a selected
candidate word/phrase, words/phrases added to the dictionary) and import them
into your own user dictionary. We will learn and collect your own wording from
your input text messages (SMS or MMS), to help us provide you a faster and more
precise prediction (including the popup smiley prediction). We will collect and
import your contact names into your own user dictionary, so that you can type
your contact names faster. We will collect your SMS and the content published on
Twitter and Facebook for customized prediction, and we just collect such
information or content for learning purpose and it will not be uploaded to our
server. We will collect your voice information such that you can use the voice
input function. For using the AR Emoji function, we will recognize your face
expression. Your face expression will not be uploaded to our server.
We will collect the way
you use Turbo Appps (e.g. how often you use each keyboard layout, a status of
other similar product that you have installed, how often you use each function
inside Turbo Appps). We will collect your device type information (e.g. IMEI,
MAC, Android ID, device manufacture, device model, screen resolution), so that
we can provide you a product more suitable with your phone by activating each
mobile. Such activation information may be uploaded to the server. For the
clarification purpose, we will not collect IMEI if the version of Turbo Appps
used by you does not need to collect such information.
We will collect location
information (e.g. Locale data, IP data, GPS information) to assist us to
orientate the region or country that you are located. Then we can improve the
prediction with different trends words according to different location, and to
provide you with relevant location-based services, such as local weather
information and POI (point of interest) and personalized contents and services.
We will also collect your usage information of relevant apps on your mobile
phone, so that we can optimize the use experience of Turbo Appps.
We will record your email
address after your feedback is sent through your email address. For using Turbo
Appps, you need to register a Turbo Appps ID through your Google ID, Facebook
ID, Twitter ID or your email address, and your Turbo Appps ID may be recorded
in our server. We will collect information that you have allowed these
platforms to provide to third parties. You are able to purchase goods or
services inside Turbo Appps. For those purchases completed by a third service,
e.g. Google Play Billing, only trading statuses may be recorded.
For using the smart reply
function of Turbo Appps, you shall grant us accessibility commission, and we
will access and collect your input text messages from certain chat
applications. We will learn and access the information you clipped or copied
from your clipboard in order that we can extract useful information for you to
achieve the quick copy paste function of Turbo Appps.
