Summary

Yi Zhao (Shenzhen) Co., Limited (hereinafter referred to as "We/Us") is fully cognizant of the importance of personal information to you. This summary is designed to transparently and succinctly demonstrate how we process and protect your personal information. For more detailed information, please refer to the complete OpenRock Privacy Policy.

1.Collection and Use of Your Personal Information

1.1 Firmware Upgrades:

In order to facilitate headphone firmware upgrades, it is necessary to enable your mobile device's network (WLAN switch or mobile data switch) and Bluetooth permissions. This action allows us to gather your headphone's name, model, and firmware version information for cloud data validation, determining whether a firmware update is needed. Our APP employs your device's Bluetooth function to locate headphones and collect specific information like the headphone name, model, and firmware version to ensure compatibility and the requirement of a firmware update.

1.2 APP Update Reminder and Download:

For maintaining up-to-date functionality, the APP checks for the latest version upon launch, provided there is an internet connection. It thus requires network permissions (WLAN switch or mobile data switch) to access the APP version number, assessing the necessity for an update. Furthermore, mobile phone storage services are utilized to house APP data and update packages. Downloading a newer version of the APP will proceed only with your consent.

2.Protection of Minors

We are incapable of determining users' ages actively and do not collect, store, use, transfer, or disclose personal information for individuals under the age of fourteen (or as per your country/region's specified age) via the internet or other means. Users under the age of fourteen must procure written approval from parents or legal guardians before using our services.

3.Sharing with Third Parties

Your personal information will remain exclusive to Yi Zhao (Shenzhen) Co., Limited and will not be shared with any third parties, barring legal requirements, entrusted processing, transfer, public disclosure, or your clear consent.

4.Managing Your Data

For ease of accessing, correcting, and deleting your personal information while using the "OpenRock" APP, as well as revoking permission for the use of personal information, we have embedded relevant operational settings within our product design. For further inquiries regarding your data subject rights, or if you have questions, comments, or suggestions, reach out to us via the "Contact Us" section of this Policy to exercise your rights.

1.Collection and Use of Your Personal Information

We will collect and use your personal information based on the principles of legality, legitimacy, necessity, and transparency, and for the purposes described in this Policy. If we use your personal information for purposes not described herein or collect your personal information for other specific purposes, we will inform you in a reasonable manner and obtain your consent before use. The core functional services of the OpenRock APP and the personal information collected are as follows:

1.1. Firmware Upgrades

Firmware upgrades involve the transmission of firmware that matches your headphones to the headphones via Bluetooth. Once the headphones receive the complete firmware and verify its integrity, they will execute the corresponding upgrade process to complete the firmware update.

To facilitate headphone firmware upgrades, we need to enable your mobile device's network permissions (WLAN switch or mobile data switch) and Bluetooth permissions to obtain your headphone name, model, and firmware version information. This information is used for cloud data validation to determine whether the current firmware version of your headphone needs to be updated. The APP utilizes the Bluetooth function of your mobile device to search for headphones and retrieve information such as the headphone name, model and firmware version. This information is used to determine whether the headphone model matches the firmware in the APP and whether the firmware version of the headphone can be updated. If you do not provide this information, the APP will not be able to detect the device, and you will not be able to update the headphone firmware.

1.2. APP Update Reminder and Download

To ensure timely updates, the APP actively checks whether it is the latest version when opened while connected to the internet. Therefore, it requires network permissions (WLAN switch or mobile data switch) to collect the APP version number for assessing whether an update is necessary. Additionally, the system will utilize mobile phone storage services to store APP data and update packages. Downloading a new version of the APP will be initiated with your consent. If you do not grant these permissions, it will not affect your use of the APP, but the software will not prompt you to update, and you may not receive the latest features of the APP in a timely manner.
