Our goal in collecting personal information is to enhance your experience with our products and services, and to make sure we're in line with all the relevant laws and regulations. It's entirely up to you whether to share this information with us. But keep in mind, without it, we might not be able to provide you with certain services or help you with any problems you might run into. Here's what we're talking about:
- Account Registration
1.When signing up for a Geeco Smartcare account, you'll give us your phone number and a verification code. Right now, we're all about phone number logins, and if that changes, we'll let you know what the new methods are
2.To make the platform's basic functions work, like signing up and logging in with your phone number, we use services from Alibaba Cloud for SMS and Authentication. For the nitty-gritty on the privacy policy for these services, check out our Service Level Agreement (Number Privacy Protection).

We gather info about the device you're using to access our services. This includes hardware and software details like your IP address, device ID and type, specific settings and features of your device and apps, browser type, version and language, operating system, time zone, and identifiers that are linked to cookies or other tech that can pinpoint your device or browser (think IMEI/UDID, MAC address, OAID, AndroidID, MEID, and more). When you're using our services or checking out our content, we automatically pick up and log certain info, such as when and how often you access the service, your IP when you visit, and event info (like errors, crashes, restarts, updates, etc.).

This setup allows for fast access and seamless sharing of content across various devices. Rest assured, neither we nor our partners delve into the content stored on our partners' servers. Any personal information collected or generated beyond the borders of the People's Republic of China is housed here in the United States.
2.As you utilize the smart pillow with the Geeco Smartcare app, we collect physiological data to better serve you. This includes details like your height, weight, age, the specific traction settings, duration, and timing of your use of the Geeco Smartcare pillow. We also note the frequency, duration, and timing of your breathing exercises, your selected pillow height settings, and your preferences for the ambient light's color and brightness. All this information is used to enhance data analysis, presentation, and personalized recommendations within the Geeco Smartcare app and on Zhenyuan Tiancheng's data cloud.
- Features and Corresponding Permissions
1.For features like data sync and logging on the smart pillow, we require permissions for storage access, internet connectivity, and location services (both network-based and GPS). When you link to the smart pillow via Bluetooth, granting location access is essential for a swift and successful pairing and connection with your device.
2.Network Information: We also gather insights into your wireless and mobile network connections, including details like your service provider and signal strength.
- II. Information Storage and Security

- Your Zhenyuan Tiancheng accounts come with robust security features. Please keep your username and password information secure. We take the protection of your information seriously, employing measures such as password encryption to prevent data loss, misuse, and unauthorized changes. However, it's important to remember that no security measures on the internet are entirely foolproof.
- We prioritize data security by training and assessing our employees to enhance their understanding of the importance of safeguarding personal information. We enforce identity checks and access controls for those handling personal data and have them sign confidentiality agreements that outline job responsibilities and ethical guidelines. This ensures that only authorized individuals have access to personal information. For any staff members who breach these rules, we will rigorously pursue legal accountability in line with our internal policies and pertinent laws and regulations.

- Mobile Analytics: Within certain mobile applications, we incorporate mobile analytics software to gain a deeper understanding of how our apps perform on your devices. This software may track details such as application usage frequency, in-app events, total usage time, performance metrics, and crash points.
