We collect your personal information based on the principles of lawfulness, fairness, and necessity. In order to provide you with our services, to ensure normal operation and security of our services, and to improve and optimize our services, we will collect the information provided by you, authorized by you, or generated when you sign in to or use our services.

The information we collect depends on the products you use, the environment in which you interact with us, the choices you make, and the features you use. Please note that if you provide other people’s personal information to us, you must ensure that you have obtained their authorization (and separately have obtained their consent in the event of a special scenario).

This official website provides you with account registration/login, product content browsing, order information inquiry, user experience improvement services, online customer service, user feedback, service outlets, warranty inquiry, repair application, and event participation services. You have the right to choose whether or not to provide the information we have requested. But for basic functions and services, if you do not provide your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with realme official website services or respond to or resolve your queries. For additional functions or services, you may choose whether or not to agree to our collection of your personal information. If you do not agree, the required additional functions or services may not be available to you. This, however, does not affect your use of basic functions or services. At the same time, please note that the aforementioned service content varies depending on the region you are in, and some service content is only available in specific regions.

Please note that we usually consider the region that you select during your initial sign-in (or that you select subsequently through “Settings”) as the actual place where the services are used and the jurisdiction whose laws and regulations we comply with, including those relating to data protection.

1. We may collect the following types of information:

(1) Account sign-up and sign-in

You can choose to use the realme official website by registering or logging in to your HeyTap Account, which is provided by HEYTAP PTE. LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “HeyTap”). If you need to register/log in to your HeyTap Account, HeyTap needs to collect your mobile phone number or email address, account password, and registration SMS content in order to register an account for you and assist you in logging in and using related services. After you complete the account registration, you can also choose whether to provide a username/nickname, avatar, or gender information to further improve your account. Please read the “HeyTap Account Privacy Policy” for more details. We may provide you with notifications, surveys, and event push services through the mobile phone number or email address linked to your HeyTap Account. You may need to send us an SMS message to verify your phone number, which may incur carrier costs.

We do not collect your personal information when you browse and search for various product information on our website.

In special circumstances, such as the distribution of prizes, you may be required to provide us with your identification and bank account details (we generally do not collect such information). When you check in or attend an event, we may need access to your photo album media files so that you can send images or video files for check-in or to participate in the events.

If you refuse to provide this information, we will display the system’s default location on the Service Center map, and you will not be able to obtain information about the Service Centers near you, nor will you be able to query the distance between the Service Centers and your location. If you do not want to use this feature, you can turn off location permissions in “Settings – Location.”

You can send the address of the Service Center you are querying to your mobile phone. In order to do this, we need you to provide your mobile phone number so that we can send you the Service Center address via SMS.

Ⅲ. How We Store Your Personal Information

1. How Your Personal Information Is Transferred Globally

We leverage our resources and servers around the world to provide services. We have data centers in France, Singapore, India, and Indonesia, which means that in compliance with applicable laws, your personal information may be transferred to or accessed from countries or regions outside of where you use our services.

Please note that different countries or regions offer different levels of data protection. This means that your personal information could be stored in a country that offers a level of protection that may, in certain instances, be less than the country or region in which you are located. However, in such cases, we will take measures to ensure that the personal information we collect is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws and that your personal information is adequately protected. For example, we may seek your permission to transfer your personal information across borders, and we will implement adequate security measures (such as encryption and de-identification where feasible) and sign the necessary data transmission/sharing agreements with the recipients of your personal information prior to the transfer taking place. We will also specifically ensure that we comply with laws that require us to store data locally within a specific country or region.

2. How Long We Store Your Personal Information

We will only store your personal information for as long as necessary to achieve the collection purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. If we are required by law to store your personal information beyond this period (such as for tax and commercial law reasons), we will delete the personal information at the end of this storage period.

After the expiry of the aforementioned retention periods, we will delete or anonymize your personal information.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use and disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process the personal information, and the applicable legal requirements.

When we cease operating some or all of our products or services due to special reasons, we will promptly inform you and stop the collection and processing of personal information related to the products or services. At the same time, we will delete or anonymize the personal information we hold that is associated with the products or services, unless otherwise required by the law or regulations.

Ⅳ. How We Share, Transfer, and Publicly Disclose Your Personal Information

If the affiliates wish to process data for a different purpose, they must first seek your consent, unless another lawful basis exists.

For example, when you log in to your HeyTap Account on the official website, your personal information may be shared with our affiliate, HeyTap, to assist you in querying your past order information. Please read and understand the "HeyTap Account Personal Information Protection Notice" carefully. If we or our affiliates intend to change the purpose for which your personal information is used and processed, we will obtain your authorization or consent again.

To the extent and only as expressly permitted by local data protection laws, we may collect, use, or disclose your personal information without your consent. This may include providing information to public institutions or government agencies, as well as communicating with our third-party partners about the reliability of your account to prevent fraud, violations, and other harmful acts committed on or off our services.

2. How We Transfer Personal Information

Ⅴ. How We Protect Your Personal Information

1. Our Data Protection Measures

We attach great importance to personal information security. We take reasonably practical and technical measures to protect the information we collect in connection with our services. We have used industry-standard security measures to protect the personal information you provide to prevent unauthorized access, public disclosure, use, modification, damage, or loss of data. We take all reasonably practical measures to protect your personal information. In particular:

(1) We use mainstream security technologies such as SSL or TLS to encrypt many of our services. We regularly review practices regarding information collection, storage, and possessing (including physical security measures) to prevent unauthorized access or system tampering.

(2) Subject to relevant regulations, we have appointed a person in charge of personal information protection and set up a personal information protection task force. We have also established internal control processes to ensure compliance with the principle of least privilege. We strictly control access to personal information and only grant access permissions to our employees and the personnel of an authorized service provider, both of whom need to access personal information in order to help us process such information. The aforementioned employees and personnel are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations. If they fail to perform these obligations, they may be held legally liable or be terminated. Access logs of personal data will be recorded and audited regularly. We require that employees who need to access sensitive personal information should obtain permission from relevant management personnel. In addition, we take technical measures to prevent people from accessing, modifying, copying, or downloading such information without authorization.

(3) The security of your information is extremely important to us. Therefore, we endeavor to ensure the security of your personal information and implement safeguards such as full security encryption throughout storage and transmission to prevent your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. At the same time, no one can access the specific content of certain encrypted data except the users themselves.

(4) When transmitting and storing special categories of personal information, we will use security measures such as encryption. When storing your personal biometric information, we will take technical measures to process it, such as only storing a summary of your personal biometric information.

(5) We will strictly screen business partners and service providers and implement the requirements for personal information protection into the business contracts or audits, assessments, and other activities between both parties.

(6) Internally, we publish and implement data security regulations to define the standards and requirements for protecting user data (including users' personal information).

(7) We conduct security and privacy protection training, testing, and other activities to enhance employees' awareness and proficiency in personal information protection.

(8) We use international and industry-recognized standards to protect your personal information and actively acquire security and privacy protection certifications. We have established sound mechanisms to ensure smooth coordination and communication with regulators, third-party security service providers, and security evaluation and certification organizations to promptly defend against and deal with information security threats so as to protect your personal information and privacy.

2. Notification and Response to Personal Information Security Incidents

Please note that although we have taken reasonable measures to protect your information, no websites, Internet transmissions, computer systems, or wireless connections are absolutely secure. To deal with possible risks such as personal data breaches, damage, and loss, we have developed various mechanisms and controls that clearly define personal information security incidents and the corresponding handling procedures. We have established a dedicated emergency response team responsible for personal data security planning, data loss mitigation, analysis, location and remediation, and follow-up operations with relevant departments in accordance with personal information leakage incident management norms and requirements.

In the event of a personal information security incident, we will act in accordance with applicable law, notify you and/or the competent data protection authority of any such security incident as required, and take measures to mitigate any risks arising therefrom.

You may also contact us through the means disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

If we decide to respond to your deletion request, we will also notify the entities that have obtained your personal information from us and require them to delete the data in a timely manner, unless otherwise required by law or regulations, or if those entities have your independent authorization.

Please understand that when you ask us to delete or anonymize your information, we may not be able to delete the corresponding information from our systems immediately due to legal and security technology restrictions, but we will delete this information when the backup is updated.

5. Right to change the scope of authorization or withdraw consent

Each operational function or specific service requires some basic personal information to be completed (see the “How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information” section of this Privacy Policy). For the collection and use of additional personal information, you can change the scope of your authorization for us to continue collecting and using personal information or withdraw your authorization and consent at any time. If you withdraw your consent, we will no longer be able to continue providing you with the services for which you have withdrawn your consent or authorization.

In the case of a delay in providing information, we will notify the personal information subject of the relevant circumstances and the reason for the delay. In the event of a conflict between the time limits set forth in this paragraph and the relevant laws and regulations, the provisions of the relevant laws and regulations will prevail.

Please note that for security reasons, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. In principle, we do not charge a fee for a reasonable amount of requests. However, for multiple and repetitive requests that exceed reasonable limits, we will charge a certain fee to cover some costs depending on the nature of the request. We may reject requests that are manifestly unfounded, unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for instance, requiring the development of new systems or fundamental changes to current practices), pose risks to the legitimate rights and interests of others, or are highly impractical. The reasons for this may be specified to you in our response. In addition, we may not respond to your request if laws or administrative rules specify that the data mentioned in your request must be kept confidential or does not need to be disclosed, or if your request would hinder government departments from performing their statutory duties, directly involves any issues that directly concern public interests such as national security, national defense, public health, and criminal investigations, or may result in serious damage to your legitimate rights and interests or those of any other individual or organization.

Ⅶ. How We Process Children's Personal Information

Please be sure to read this Personal Information Privacy Policy carefully with your parents or other guardians, as children are not allowed to use our services without the consent of their parents or other guardians.

In some cases (for example, where we have no legitimate reason to continue processing your personal information to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations), we are obligated to delete it promptly.

• The right to restrict processing: In certain circumstances, where you dispute the accuracy of personal information, you have the right to request realme to restrict the way we process your personal information for a period of time, so that we can verify the accuracy of the personal information.
