Hushan Hushan (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd.
Last updated: May 14, 2026
1. Introduction
Hushan Hushan (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. ("we," "us," or "our") respects and protects user privacy. This Settle Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, transfer, disclose, and protect personal information when you use Settle and related services. By agreeing to the User Agreement or continuing to use the app after this Policy is presented, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.
Settle is a white noise, ambient sound mixing, sleep, and focus support tool. We follow the principles of lawfulness, legitimacy, necessity, transparency, security, and data minimization. For users outside mainland China, this Policy is intended to be read together with applicable data protection, consumer protection, app-store, and platform requirements in your country or region.
This document applies to the iOS version of Settle. Downloads, updates, account services, payments, refunds, permission prompts, or system capabilities may be provided by App Store, Sign in with Apple, Apple In-App Purchase, or the operating system, and may also be governed by their official terms, privacy policies, and on-screen notices.
2. Information We Do Not Actively Collect
Unless a feature clearly requires network transmission, content keywords, file names, media content, photo library content, or other information you enter, select, or process is normally used only for local processing on your device.
We do not actively collect sensitive information unrelated to product features, such as government ID numbers, bank card passwords, contact lists, SMS content, call records, or precise location.
3. Information We Collect and Use
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Local mix settings | Track toggles, volume, pan, speed, fade-in, fade-out, sleep timer, and local presets | Restore ambient sound sessions, save favorite scenes, and provide bedtime timers |
| Account information | Apple authorization identifier, name or email if authorized, and app-generated user ID | Login, VIP entitlement, invitation, and feedback |
| Order information | App Store transaction ID, product, payment status, VIP validity, and purchase verification result | Payment, VIP activation, purchase restoration, and support verification |
| Device and logs | Device model, iOS version, app version, crash logs, and performance logs | Troubleshooting, stability optimization, and security risk control |
When you use core features, we access content that you actively select, import, or authorize. Processing is normally performed locally on your device. If account sync, payment verification, feedback, or customer support requires network processing, we process only the information necessary for that purpose.
4. Permission Use
- Play built-in ambient sounds and support iOS background audio mode
- Access the network for Sign in with Apple, App Store purchase verification, feedback, and stability services
- Read basic device information, iOS version, app version, crash logs, and performance logs for compatibility, troubleshooting, and security risk control
You can manage permissions in iOS Settings. Disabling a permission may make the related feature unavailable, but it does not affect features that do not require that permission.
5. Third-Party SDKs and Services
We may integrate third-party SDKs or system capabilities for analytics, payment, login, advertising, crash monitoring, system integration, or local processing. After obtaining authorization where required, those SDKs may collect device information, network information, app information, logs, order information, or content you actively select.
For details, please read the Third-Party SDK Sharing List, which lists SDK names, providers, purposes, shared information types, and privacy policy links. We evaluate the necessity of third-party services and require providers to process data lawfully, properly, and only as necessary.
6. Sharing, Transfer, and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with your consent, as necessary to provide the service, to comply with law, to handle disputes, or to protect users and the public.
If personal information is transferred due to a merger, split, acquisition, or asset transfer, we will require the new holder to continue to comply with this policy.
We may use de-identified, anonymized, or aggregated data for product quality analysis, compatibility optimization, security risk control, and service improvement.
7. Storage and Protection
We use reasonable security measures such as encryption, de-identification, access control, least-privilege authorization, log auditing, permission isolation, and transport security.
Unless otherwise required by law, we retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. After the retention period, we delete, anonymize, or stop using the information according to law.
No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. Please protect your account, verification code, device, and authorization information. Contact us promptly if you discover leakage or abnormal use.
8. Clipboard and Sharing Notice
When you use copy, paste, share, receive links, invitation-code recognition, or similar features, the app may need to read or write clipboard content. System prompts may not distinguish local reading for feature implementation from upload or collection. Unless a feature clearly requires network submission, we do not upload clipboard content to our servers.
9. Your Rights
You may request access, correction, deletion, authorization withdrawal, account deletion, or an explanation of our personal information processing rules.
You can manage permissions in iOS Settings, log out, delete your account, clear cache in the app, or contact us for requests that cannot be completed by yourself. Withdrawing authorization or deleting information may make some features unavailable.
To exercise these rights, contact us at feedback@hshstech.com. We will handle your request within the period required by applicable law.
10. Children
If you are a minor, please read this Policy and use the app under the guidance of your parent or legal guardian. If a guardian believes that we processed a minor's personal information without proper consent, please contact us.
11. Updates
We may update this Policy based on law, platform requirements, product features, or service changes. For material changes, we will provide notice through in-app prompts, page announcements, or other reasonable methods. If you disagree with the updated Policy, you may stop using the relevant service.
