Privacy Policy

1.Who we are

Hot Drama - Dramas&Hot is operated by Aristovie Holdings Limited ("Aristovie", "we", "us", or "our"). We are based in Hong Kong and are responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

Our contact details are set out in section 16. Some third-party providers may act as independent controllers of information they collect through their own services. Their privacy policies apply to that processing.

2.Scope

This policy applies to the Hot Drama mobile application, our official website, customer support communications, and other services that link to this policy. It explains what information we collect, why we use it, how we share and protect it, how long we keep it, and the choices available to you.

This policy does not apply to websites, applications, or services operated independently by third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy notices provided by those services.

If the laws in your location provide rights or protections that are broader than those described here, those laws will apply and this policy does not limit them.

3.Information we collect

The information we process depends on how you use Hot Drama and which features are available to you.

3.1 Information you provide

If you create an account, contact us, participate in a promotion, or use a feature that asks for information, we may collect your email address, login details, profile information, language and content preferences, support messages, and other information you choose to provide.

3.2 Information collected automatically

When you use Hot Drama, we and our service providers may automatically collect device and usage information, including your device type, operating system, app version, language, approximate region, IP address, network information, device or app identifiers, pages or episodes viewed, search terms, saved titles, viewing progress, feature interactions, crash reports, performance information, and diagnostic logs.

We use this information to operate the service, understand how features are used, improve performance, maintain security, measure advertising and campaigns, and comply with legal obligations.

3.3 AI inputs and outputs

If you use an AI-powered feature, you may be able to submit text prompts, photos, images, or other content. We may process that content, together with generated results, to provide the requested feature, maintain safety and quality, and troubleshoot the service.

3.4 Purchases and subscriptions

If Hot Drama offers purchases or subscriptions, we may receive information about your subscription status, purchase history, renewal status, entitlements, and transaction identifiers. App store operators and payment providers generally process payment card details directly, rather than Hot Drama.

3.5 Device permissions

Some features may request access to your camera, photo library, or notifications. We only use the permission for the purpose described when we request it. You can change permissions in your device settings, although denying a permission may prevent the related feature from working.

4.How we use information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

• Providing and maintaining Hot Drama, including account access, content delivery, viewing progress, preferences, purchases, and customer support.
• Improving the app and our content, including understanding feature usage, testing, troubleshooting, and developing new features.
• Personalizing the experience, such as remembering preferences and presenting content that may be relevant to you.
• Measuring installs, key in-app events, campaign performance, and advertising effectiveness.
• Providing AI-powered image, scene, recommendation, or creative features when you choose to use them.
• Protecting users, our service, and others from fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of applicable terms or law.
• Complying with legal obligations, responding to lawful requests, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements.
• Communicating with you about service updates, security issues, promotions, or changes where permitted by law.

5.Legal bases

Where data protection law requires us to identify a legal basis, we rely on one or more of the following:

• Performance of a contract: processing needed to provide Hot Drama and the services you request.
• Legitimate interests: operating, securing, improving, and measuring our service, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Consent: where we ask for permission, such as for certain advertising identifiers, notifications, or image and likeness processing.
• Legal obligations: processing needed to comply with applicable law or valid legal requests.

You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

6.AI features

Some Hot Drama features may use artificial intelligence to create, transform, or personalize images, scenes, recommendations, translations, or other content. When you use these features, the content you submit may be sent to the AI service providers described in section 7.

If a feature allows you to place a face or likeness into a generated scene, the image you submit may contain biometric or similarly sensitive information. We use that information to provide the feature you requested, maintain safety and service quality, and address misuse. You should only upload images of yourself or images you have permission to use.

We do not use AI inputs to identify you unless a feature clearly requires identification, and we do not sell AI inputs. Where your location requires consent for this type of processing, we will request appropriate permission before using the feature.

7.Third-party services and SDKs

Hot Drama uses third-party services and software development kits to operate, measure, secure, monetize, and improve the app. The information available to a provider depends on the feature, your settings, and applicable law. The following providers are relevant to Hot Drama:

Adjust

Adjust is used for attribution and the capture of key in-app behavior events. This may include install and referral information, campaign details, app activity, IP address, device or app identifiers, and information about selected events within Hot Drama.

Firebase

Firebase is used to monitor app health. This may include crash reports, app performance information, diagnostic logs, device and app details, configuration information, and technical identifiers.

Pangle

Pangle supports short-drama collaboration and related content or advertising services. Information involved may include device and app details, advertising or technical identifiers, interactions with content or advertisements, and service diagnostics.

OpenAI / PixVerse

OpenAI and PixVerse may be used for AI capability collaboration, including image creation, scene transformation, and related creative experiences. Information may include prompts, images, likeness-related content, generated results, safety signals, and related technical data.

TopOn

TopOn is used for advertising monetization and measurement. Information involved may include device and app details, advertising identifiers where permitted, ad interactions, network information, and diagnostic data.

We may also use app distribution platforms, cloud hosting providers, customer support tools, payment providers, fraud prevention services, and security providers. These providers process information under their own privacy notices, under our instructions, or under contractual arrangements, depending on their role.

8.How we share information

We do not sell personal information for money. We may share personal information in the following circumstances:

• With service providers that help us host, support, secure, analyze, advertise, or operate Hot Drama.
• With professional advisers, auditors, insurers, or authorities where reasonably necessary to protect rights, comply with law, or respond to valid legal requests.
• With a buyer, investor, successor, or adviser in connection with a financing, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, or transfer of all or part of our business.
• With your direction or consent, including where you choose to use a third-party feature that involves sharing information.

Certain analytics or targeted advertising activities may be treated as "sharing," "targeted advertising," or a "sale" under the laws of some jurisdictions, even where no money changes hands. Where those rules apply, we will provide the choices required by law and honor applicable opt-out rights.

9.Cookies and local storage

Our website and app may use cookies, local storage, SDKs, and similar technologies to operate the service, remember preferences, measure performance, prevent abuse, and support advertising where permitted. Pages opened inside a WebView may also use local storage to remember settings and improve loading.

You can manage cookies through your browser or WebView settings and control tracking or personalized advertising through your device settings where available. Disabling necessary storage may affect website or app functionality.

10.Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. The applicable period depends on the type of information and why it is processed.

We may retain information for longer where needed to maintain account history, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud and abuse, comply with legal obligations, or meet accounting and tax requirements. When information is no longer needed, we will delete it, aggregate it, or anonymize it where appropriate. Third-party providers retain information in accordance with their own policies and our contractual arrangements.

11.International transfers

Hot Drama may be available in multiple countries, and our providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live. Those countries may have different data protection laws.

Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as contractual protections and other lawful transfer mechanisms. You may contact us for more information about the safeguards that apply to your information.

12.Security

We use reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, and alteration. These measures are adapted to the nature of the information and the risks involved.

No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. You should keep your account credentials confidential and contact us promptly if you believe your account or information has been compromised.

13.Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, correct inaccurate information, delete information, restrict or object to certain processing, receive a portable copy of certain information, or withdraw consent.

You may also be able to object to direct marketing, opt out of targeted advertising, or limit tracking through your device privacy settings. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a right provided by law.

To make a privacy request, email ares@aristovie.uk. We may ask for information needed to verify your identity and understand your request. Authorized agents may submit requests where the law permits.

If you have concerns about how we process your information, you may contact us first or complain to your local data protection authority. In Hong Kong, the relevant regulator is the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data.

14.Children

Hot Drama is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the minimum age permitted by applicable law, or without any parental authorization required in their location.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact ares@aristovie.uk. We will investigate and take appropriate steps, including deletion where required.

15.Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to Hot Drama, our providers, data practices, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the effective date or last updated date shown above.

If a change is significant, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent where required by law. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
