English The WS Browser is a platform providing services to user (hereinafter referred to as “you”) by Web Space Browser Pte. Ltd. and its affiliated companies (hereinafter referred to as WS or we). Through this 《WS Browser Basic Functions Privacy Policy》 (hereinafter referred to as “this Privacy Policy”), we aim to clearly outline how we process and protect your personal information when you use the products and/or services we provide.
This Privacy Policy applies to all basic function services of the “WS Browser” provided to you. To avoid doubt, Basic Functions refer to the search and access, information browsing, downloading, and security assurance services we provide it to you through the “WS Browser”. This Privacy Policy serves as the statement and commitment regarding the processing and protection of personal information involved in providing the basic function services of the WS Browser.
Please note that **this Privacy Policy does not apply to products and/or services provided to you by third-party platforms that you access through the “WS Browser”. When you use products and/or services provided by a third-party platform, you should carefully read their privacy policy or similar statement and make cautious decisions.
Before you begin using our basic functions, please be sure to carefully read and understand this Privacy Policy, paying special attention to the clauses we have marked with bold/bold underline, and only start using the service after you have fully understood and agreed. Your agreement to this Privacy Policy represents your consent to the collection of personal information only when using the basic functions.
Furthermore, in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Law and other relevant laws and regulations, we may process your personal information without obtaining your authorized consent in the following circumstances:
When necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract to which the individual is a party;
When necessary for fulfilling statutory duties or legal obligations;
When necessary for responding to sudden public health events or, in emergency situations, to protect the life, health, and property safety of a natural person;
When processing personal information that has been voluntarily disclosed by the individual or has otherwise been lawfully made public, within a reasonable scope as stipulated by the Personal Information Protection Law;
Other circumstances stipulated by laws and administrative regulations.
The WS Browser does not require account registration to use all basic functions. In the current version, we do not, by default, associate your data with any account, upload it to the cloud, or conduct cross-platform advertising tracking. In the future, for the purpose of enhancing user experience, product features, or commercial cooperation, we may implement relevant features upon obtaining your consent or within the scope permitted by law.
We will adhere to the principles of legitimacy, legality, and necessity. To provide you with basic function services, we will collect and use your information for the following purposes described in this Privacy Policy. You have the right to choose whether or not to provide this information. If you choose not to provide it, we may not be able to provide you with the corresponding services.
The specifics are as follows:
In this mode, you can use the browser to search and access web content. To ensure the best display effect and improve usage security and stability, we will collect:
Device Information: Including device model, device identifier (e.g. Android ID (for Android versions below Q) or OAID), system version information, network type, screen size and resolution, system settings (such as language, region), and acceleration sensor (used for screen orientation switching).
Search Keywords: Used to implement the search function, making it convenient for you to re-enter queries or view relevant results.
Clipboard Data (triggered only when the user copies/pastes): Used for quick retrieval services. We will not save this information.
If you use the “Scan” function (to recognize barcodes, QR codes, etc.), you need to enable the Camera Permission, and we will collect ambient light sensor information to optimize the scanning effect. The captured content is only used for real-time processing and will not be saved.
In Incognito Mode, we still need to collect the aforementioned Device Information to ensure the proper functioning of the features, but we will not save your browsing history, website data, Cookie, or information entered into forms.
When you use the WS Browser to access web pages:
We will not upload your browsing history to our servers. All records are saved only on your device locally, and you can clear your history at any time through the browser setting;
To provide necessary features (such as localized web display), we may use your IP address for regional adaptation, but this will not be used for other purposes;
When you use the web page sharing feature, we will read application list information (e.g. WeChat), strictly for the purpose of providing sharing channels. We will not collect or store any additional information;
Users understand and agree that WS has the right to use de-identified or anonymized data, provided it does not involve the user’s personal identity, for advertising optimization, product improvement, market analysis, or commercial cooperation.
To provide download services, we will invoke the download management feature of our partners and need to obtain:
Device Storage Permission (for Android versions below Q) to save files;
Network status, download path, custom file name, and download address. This data is used solely for implementing the download function.

Device identifiers (Android ID or OAID);
Suspicious link (URL) information, used only for identifying risky websites and protecting users from phishing attacks.
The WS Browser may recommend more relevant content or advertisements to you based on your Device Information, IP address, search keywords, and browsing behavior (including history URLs, news content exposure, and clicks).
We will not conduct cross-platform advertising tracking or associate this information with your personal identity.
If you do not agree to receive personalized recommendations, you can disable them in the browser settings.

Recording Permission: Used only when a webpage requires voice input;
