Privacy Policy
GoWave and its affiliates (hereinafter referred to as “we”) recognize the importance of protecting your personal information. We have established this Privacy Policy to clearly explain how your information is collected, used, and protected. We encourage you to read it carefully before using our livestream system and related services, so you can make informed decisions.
This Privacy Policy will help you understand:
1. We collect and use your personal information strictly in accordance with this Policy. Your acceptance of the Privacy Policy does not mean we will collect your personal data indiscriminately or without specific purpose.
2. When you use or enable related features or services, we will collect and use relevant information necessary for providing these functions or services. Unless the data is essential for basic business operations or legally required, you may refuse to provide it without affecting other functionalities or services. We will specify in the policy which information is necessary.
3. If you do not log in to an account, we will use device identifiers to support basic notification functions. If you are logged in, we will use your account information for notifications.
4. To help you discover more friends, we may request access to your contacts.
5. We respect your right to choose. If you do not wish to be recommended to others, you may turn off this function at any time under “Me > Settings > Privacy Settings” .
6. Permissions for contacts, precise geolocation, camera, microphone, and photo album are not enabled by default. These will only be accessed with your explicit consent and only when required for specific features or services. You may also withdraw your consent. Even if authorized, we will not collect your data when the feature does not require it.
7. This policy applies to your access and use of our products and services via the livestream system apps (including lite versions), official website, and software development kits (SDKs) and application programming interfaces (APIs) used by third-party websites and applications.
Below you will find a detailed explanation of how we collect, use, store, transfer, share, and protect personal information, as well as how you may access, correct, delete, or withdraw authorization. Key clauses regarding your personal information rights are highlighted in bold.
1. How We Collect & Use Personal Data
We collect information you provide and data generated through service usage:
1.1 Account Registration & Login
Sign-up requires a phone number; optional profile details (avatar, nickname, etc.).
Third-party login accesses public info (avatar, nickname) for account linking.
1.1.2 Identity Verification
Real-name authentication (name, ID number) may be required for certain features. Refusal limits access to those services only.
1.2 Content Browsing
Logs (clicks, searches, location) improve recommendations.
Precise GPS is optional; refusal disables location-based content but not other features.
1.3 Posting & Interaction
Camera/microphone access needed for media uploads. Denial disables this function.
Livestreams may require facial recognition (name, ID). Data is used only for verification.
Nearby features use location; IP-derived city data is used if GPS is denied.
1.4 Search
Queries and history are stored temporarily for improved results.
1.5 Security & Operations
Device data (OS, IP, logs) ensures service stability and fraud prevention.
1.6 Legal Exceptions
Data may be processed without consent for legal compliance, security, or public interest.
2. Cookies & Tracking
Used for security, login persistence, and personalized recommendations.
Clear cookies via browser settings, but some features may break.
3. Data Sharing & Disclosure
No sharing without consent, except anonymized or legally required cases.
Business transfers (mergers) may include data; successors must uphold this policy.
4. Data Storage
Stored in Hong Kong; no international transfers without legal compliance/consent.
Deleted upon account closure unless retention is legally mandated.
5. Security Measures
Encryption, access controls, and audits protect data. Absolute security isn't guaranteed.
