INTRODUCTION
Please read the following information carefully to understand our practices regarding the processing of your personal data. The Company may change the Privacy Policy from time to time.

1. PURPOSE, SCOPE, AND USERS
At Renewed Edge Limited (a private limited company incorporated in Hong Kong) we have adopted this Privacy Policy and will make sure it is maintained and followed. We make efforts to comply with applicable laws and regulations related to personal data protection in countries where we operate. This Privacy Policy sets forth the basic principles and rules by which we process, collect and store your personal data, and the Privacy Policy indicates our duties and responsibilities while processing, collecting and storing personal data.
We do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive information from children or disabled people. The particular age of the children are defined differently in many countries, so any case involving a child will be reviewed individually.
We understand that you are aware of and care about your own personal privacy rights and interests, and we take that fact seriously. This Privacy Policy describes the policies and practices regarding the collection and use of your personal data, and sets forth your privacy rights. We recognize that privacy is an ongoing responsibility, and so we will follow and, from time to time, improve this Privacy Policy as we undertake new personal data practices or adopt new privacy and security rules. Our business model may also change and it may require changes to the current version of the Privacy Policy.
All countries have different privacy and data protection laws and we will do our best to follow such rules when they apply in a particular case.
Any data collected or processed via the App or Site is covered by the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such data is collected. We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we’ll notify you of those changes by posting them on the App or Site or by sending you an email or other notification as required by applicable law, and we’ll update the “Effective as of” above to indicate when those changes will become effective. You understand and agree that you will be deemed to have accepted the updated Privacy Policy if you use the App or Site after the updated Privacy Policy is posted on the App or Site. If at any point you do not agree to any portion of the Privacy Policy then in effect, you shall immediately stop using the App or Site.
2. TERMS WE USE AS LEGAL GUIDELINES OF THE PROCESSING
There are some legal bases for the processing of your personal data and we count on them to process your personal data. We use three main bases to process your personal data such as consent, contract, and legitimate interest.
Consent means your clear agreement to the processing of personal data for a specific purpose. We developed our services in the way that they collect your consent as freely given, specific, informed and unambiguously indicated.
Contract is a ground why the processing is necessary based on a contract you have with us, its performance, or because we have asked you to take specific steps before entering into that contract.
Legitimate Interests mean why the processing of personal data is necessary and based on our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, provided that those interests are not outweighed by your rights and interests.
There are also other legal grounds for the processing and when they apply we will count on such grounds.
