Dear Valued Magic Home User,

To help us better understand your needs, increase the quality of our products, and improve our services, Magic Home hereby cordially invites you to participate in our User Experience Improvement Program. Please take a moment to carefully read the following statement.
By taking part in the Magical Team User Experience Improvement Program (the "Program"), you acknowledge that you have carefully read and fully consented to the terms of the Program (For minors, their legal guardians should fully consent to the terms). We would like to remind you that this statement may be revised from time to time as our products continue to be developed. In the event of any changes to this statement, an announcement will be placed in a conspicuous area on the product page or a related page and clearly indicated to the user. If you do not agree to the participation in the Program or the content of the amended terms, you have the right to withdraw from the Program at any time (See "Opting In/Out of the Program" for details).

Please understand that Magic Home cannot identify specific individuals based on the information and logs alone. Therefore, such information can only be used as non-personal information. We aggregate this information to help us provide more useful information to users as well as to better understand which parts of our websites, products, and services are of most interest to users. If we combine non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
We respect your privacy. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
2. Use of Information
Magic Home hereby warrants that we strictly comply with all relevant national laws and regulations. Magic Home ensures that all the information and data collected will be kept strictly confidential. Magic Home only uses such data for the purpose of increasing product quality and improving services, and Magic Home will never provide such data to any third-party company unrelated to the aforementioned purpose. If you do not provide such information, you can still use the product, but we will not be able to know your product-usage problems that may help us to improve user experience.
Here are more details on how we use your information:
- Storing and maintaining information about you for our business operations (such as business statistics) or legal obligations.
- Improving user experience, which allows Magic Home to gather specific usage statistics for such functions, so as to more accurately evaluate the importance of each product function. In turn, this helps us adjust our priorities for research and development on product functions. For example, under the tab of device consumables, information about the total number of uploaded consumables, device model, current consumable status, the number of times each function module is used, clicks on each page, etc. will be collected. This information will help us better improve our products.
