Introduction
Houzishuohua (Wuhan) Technology Co., Ltd. ("we", "us", "our") takes your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your personal information when you use ViceMe (the "Service") via mobile apps, web, or API.
Please read this Policy carefully before using the Service, especially the bolded sections. By clicking "Agree" or continuing to use the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Policy.
If you have any questions, see Section 13 (Contact Us).
1. Information We Collect and How We Use It
We only collect information necessary to provide the Service, following data minimization.
1.1 Account Registration and Sign-In
- Email sign-in: We collect your email address and verification code.
- Sign in with Apple: We collect the Apple ID identifier, email (may be relayed), and name that Apple shares upon your authorization.
- Google Sign-In: We collect the Google account ID, email, name, and avatar that Google shares upon your authorization.
1.2 Conversations with the AI Assistant
When you use the AI conversation features, we collect:
- The text, voice, images, and files you input;
- Conversation context, session ID, and timestamps.
These are used to:
- Generate real-time responses by calling the AI model;
- Save your conversation history under your account so you can review it later;
- Provide security risk control (e.g., identifying abuse, preventing API misuse).
Important: Your conversation content is sent to the following third-party AI model providers to generate responses:
- Google LLC (Gemini via Vertex AI) — the primary model for the international version.
We only transmit Input necessary for response generation, and the provider does not use such data to train its model under our agreement (see Section 3).
1.3 Agent Creation and Operation
When you create, publish, or use an Agent, we collect:
- The name, description, prompt, configuration, and connected tools you provide;
- Input parameters, invocation records, and output results generated during execution.
1.4 Tool Calls and Third-Party Account Authorization
When you authorize an Agent to access third-party accounts (e.g., calendar, email, Lark, Notion):
- We obtain an access token through the standard OAuth flow upon your consent; we do not store your third-party account passwords;
- We access only data within the scope you have authorized;
- Access stops immediately when you revoke authorization in Settings.
For sensitive data (calendar, email, files, contacts): Without your additional explicit consent, we do not use such data for model training.
1.5 Memory and Personalization
To help the AI assistant understand you better, we extract and save user memories (e.g., your preferences, habits, long-term goals) during your use. You can view, edit, or delete any memory in Settings.
1.6 Payments and Subscriptions
Where the Service offers paid features, we use third-party payment channels such as Apple In-App Purchase or Google Play Billing, and collect order ID, product, amount, payment time, and status. We do not directly collect your card details or other sensitive payment data.
1.7 Push Notifications
We deliver push notifications via APNs (iOS) and FCM (Android). Specific data collected by these SDKs is governed by their respective privacy policies.
1.8 Customer Support and Feedback
When you contact support or submit feedback, we collect the contact information, problem description, attachments, and device information you provide, to respond to your request.

To safeguard your account and our Service, we collect:
- IP address, device model, OS, app version, network type;
- Device identifiers (iOS: IDFV; Android: AAID);
- Sign-in logs and activity logs.
These are used to detect unusual sign-in, prevent abuse, fulfill anti-fraud requirements, and comply with applicable record-keeping requirements.
