It applies to all products and services provided by Gearflow, including the Gearflow Powermate device and the Gearflow App (collectively referred to as "Gearflow Products" or "Services").
Please read this policy carefully before using our products or services.

- Request precise GPS location to ensure stable Bluetooth connectivity.
We will always seek your consent before collecting or using precise location data.
The Gearflow App will not continue collecting location data after it is closed.
6. Device Identification and Security Risk Control Information
To identify your device, prevent malicious programs, combat cheating behaviors, enhance service security, and ensure operational quality and efficiency, we will lawfully collect your terminal device identifiers, including IMEI, device serial number, OAID, MEID, Android ID, IMSI, GUID, MAC address and SIM card serial number. We may also collect the list of installed applications and running processes on your device. All such data is used solely for risk verification. We will not use it for targeted advertising or disclose it to any external parties.
7. Storage and Hardware Detection Information
To support local cache cleaning and application performance optimization functions, we will access internal storage and external SD card data with your authorized storage permission. We will also monitor CPU usage, available memory and SD card status. All operations are only for local resource optimization, and we will not upload any private files stored on your device.
8. Terminal Sensor Usage Information
When you play videos or view panoramic device materials within the App, we will temporarily access the gravity sensor and accelerometer to adapt the viewing perspective and automatically switch screen orientation. Sensor data is processed locally in real time. We do not collect, upload or store raw sensor data, and sensor access will be terminated immediately after video playback ends.
9. Clipboard Information
To optimize the paste input experience and improve the convenience of account login and form filling operations, our application only temporarily reads device clipboard content when you actively trigger paste operations. All clipboard data is processed locally on the device only for the current operation. We do not upload, store, analyze or retain your clipboard information, nor do we share relevant data with any third parties. The app will not silently read or obtain clipboard content in the background to fully protect your privacy security.
10. Supplementary Rules for Clipboard in Sharing Scenarios
When you actively send or receive shared content, the App will temporarily read passwords, sharing codes and web links from the clipboard locally. The clipboard will only be accessed when you manually trigger the sharing function, and will never be read silently in the background. The acquired content is only used to implement device redirection, campaign linkage and content reception. The cached clipboard data will be cleared right after use, and we will not retain or upload any relevant clipboard information.
