If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy and begin using our services, we will only collect information necessary to maintain the basic functions of "Habicat," which may result in our inability to provide you with complete products and services. However, we will still apply measures such as de-identification and encryption to protect this information. When you use our services again, it will be deemed that you accept and acknowledge our processing of your relevant information in accordance with this Policy for the purpose of fulfilling contracts and providing services.
We take the protection of users' personal information very seriously and will handle such information with diligence and prudence. When you download, install, open, browse, or use (collectively referred to as "use") the "Habicat" software and related services, we will collect, store, use, share, disclose, and protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We hope this Privacy Policy will explain how we process your personal information, so we recommend that you read all terms carefully. Content related to your information and rights will be highlighted in bold for your attention. Please focus on the following:
While you use the "Habicat" software and services, we will collect information based on the principles of legality, legitimacy, and necessity. The information we collect or request you to provide will be used for:

(2) Self-Startup Explanation:
We use the official androidx.glance.appwidget library provided by Google to implement widget functionality. This library registers a broadcast named androidx.glance.appwidget.MyPackageReplacedReceiver, which is solely used to automatically clean up widget-related data stored locally. This may result in your device (depending on the model) showing that our product has self-startup behavior in system logs/background records. However, this is necessary to ensure normal service provision.
