Statement on Application Permission Request and Usage
This statement explains the circumstances under which the UnifyDrive product and/or service requests and uses your operating system permissions. The specific scope of application is detailed in the lists below.
Clear and Reasonable Purpose
We adhere to the principle that the processing of personal information must have a clear and reasonable purpose, be directly relevant to that purpose, and adopt methods that have the least impact on your personal rights and interests.
To provide you with the functions and/or services of our product and ensure the safe and stable operation of the product, we may request different operating system permissions. However, we will not make a one-stop application for all system permissions. Only when you enter a specific scenario within the product will we dynamically request the system permissions necessary to implement the specific function in accordance with the principles of clear purpose and minimum necessity. Only after you grant authorization will we process your personal information within the scope of your authorization.
To provide you with the functions of our product and safeguard your rights and interests as a personal information subject, we also provide you with guidance on how to disable operating system permissions. You can manage and set relevant permissions according to your actual needs. You can disable granted permissions at any time; after disablement, we will stop accessing the corresponding permissions and will no longer be able to provide you with certain services associated with those permissions. However, this will not affect your access to other services we provide.
Due to device system updates and product optimizations, the scenarios in which the product requests and uses your operating system permissions may change. To ensure you are promptly informed of the status of permission requests and usage, we will adjust the following lists in a timely manner based on these changes.
For the functional and security needs of business operations and products, we may also use third-party software development kits (SDKs). These third parties may also request or use relevant operating system permissions. During your use of the product, you may use H5 pages, mini-programs, or SDKs developed by third parties, and these third parties may also request or use relevant system permissions as necessary for their business functions.
