1. 无需注册
Seek 无需注册或登录，不要求您提供真实姓名、手机号或邮箱。匿名标识用于维持设备身份，不代表服务完全不处理数据。本政策说明我们处理的信息、用途和您的选择。
2. 实时语音
在您授权麦克风并按住说话按钮时，Seek 通过实时语音服务传输声音。我们不在服务器录制或保存语音文件，不提供通话历史回放。其他参与者仍可能自行记录其听到的内容，请勿分享敏感信息。
3. 位置与频道
授权定位后，Seek 使用实时位置提供附近收听、成员距离、地图和区域热度；发言控制服务也会处理用于距离判断的位置。0000 向频道发送经过粗化的位置用于附近收听判断，不展示个人精确地图点；普通数字频道向同频道成员共享位置与距离；9999 的地球展示区域聚合热度，不展示个人位置点。普通数字频道没有密码或成员准入限制，请在了解位置共享范围后使用。位置和会话状态用于实时功能，不能将切换频道或退出理解为所有服务器状态、缓存及备份立即消失。
4. 匿名标识、设置与同意记录
Seek 使用随机匿名标识和设备凭证维持身份，并向相关频道成员展示昵称和数字 ID，用于区分用户。设备凭证保存在系统安全存储中，卸载不一定会重置身份。
本地保存昵称、语言、屏蔽名单、下次启动自动收听及后台接收语音等设置；服务器保存匿名标识、数字 ID、屏蔽关系，以及您同意协议的版本和时间，用于维持身份、延续屏蔽和记录确认。自动收听偏好保存在本机。
5. 运行、安全与存储
连接服务时，网络基础设施会处理 IP 地址和必要的连接信息，可能产生故障与安全日志。系统权限、地图和实时通信组件按其功能处理必要数据。我们不出售信息；网络传输采用加密连接，但并不承诺端到端加密或绝对安全。我们限制服务器与备份访问，并在实现服务、安全、协议确认核查及法定义务所需的期限内保存相关数据。
相关记录纳入受限访问的备份。删除请求经核实后，我们会根据请求范围处理在线记录，并核查自动备份、手工副本和恢复测试副本。备份中的残留记录可能需要随轮换或另行清理，不能保证与在线记录同时消失；具体范围、清理安排和仍需保留的记录及原因会在处理结果中说明。恢复旧备份时，应重新执行已经确认的删除处理，避免将已删除记录恢复到服务中。
6. 收听、后台与您的选择
首次使用时，收听提示提供“开始收听”和“暂不收听”。点击提示中的“开始收听”后，应用开始本次收听，并在本机保存开启“启动后自动收听”的偏好；选择“暂不收听”或关闭提示不会开始收听，也不会改变已保存的偏好。偏好成功保存为开启后，下次启动在协议确认、权限等必要条件满足后自动收听；偏好关闭或没有有效设置时，会再次提示。您可在设置中开启或关闭“启动后自动收听”；设置变更只影响下次启动，不会开启或中断当前收听。
您可在系统设置中撤销麦克风或定位权限；相应功能可能无法使用。开启“后台接收语音”后，应用可能在后台继续接收频道语音，并按系统许可维持相关连接和位置功能；关闭该选项后不继续后台收听。您可停止发言、切换频道或完全退出应用；仅切到后台不等于退出。不同意用户协议时可停留在确认页面，不进入频道；查看或关闭协议页面不会视为同意。
7. 联系与政策更新
您可通过 seekapp@163.com 询问信息处理情况，或申请查阅、更正、删除与您匿名标识关联的记录。请说明 App 中显示的数字 ID 和请求范围；我们会以必要且合理的方式核实您对对应设备身份的控制。数字 ID 或昵称本身不足以证明身份。不要发送设备凭证或其他密钥。
请求由人工处理；我们会说明核实结果、可处理的范围，以及无法处理或仍需保留部分记录的原因。查阅结果会保护他人隐私，不包含他人的身份信息或内部处理备注。删除服务器记录不等于清除本机设置或撤销设备凭证；继续使用服务可能再次产生相关记录。政策发生需要重新确认的重要变化时，我们会展示更新后的内容供您确认。
8. 举报与申诉
Seek 提供举报、屏蔽与申诉机制，举报成功后自动屏蔽对方。我们保存举报双方的匿名标识、被举报者昵称、相关频道、举报原因及说明，以及处理、通知和申诉记录，用于管理员审阅举报并决定如何处置。
被举报者不会看到举报人的 ID 或内部处理备注。举报不会录制语音或额外收集位置；请勿在说明中填写无关敏感信息。

1. No registration
Seek requires no registration or login and does not ask for your real name, phone number or email. An anonymous identifier maintains device identity; anonymity does not mean that no data is processed. This policy explains the information we use, why we use it and your choices.
2. Live voice
When you grant microphone permission and hold the talk button, Seek transmits audio through its real-time voice service. We do not record or store voice files on our servers and do not provide conversation history playback. Other participants may independently record what they hear, so avoid sharing sensitive information.
3. Location and channels
With location permission, Seek uses live location for nearby listening, member distances, maps and regional activity. The speaking-control service also processes location to determine distance. Channel 0000 sends coarsened location for nearby listening decisions and does not display precise individual map points. Ordinary numbered channels share location and distance with members in the same channel. The globe in 9999 shows aggregated regional activity, not individual location points. Ordinary numbered channels have no password or membership restriction; consider this sharing scope before using them. Location and session state support live features. Switching channels or closing the app does not mean every server state, cache or backup disappears immediately.
4. Anonymous identity, preferences and acceptance records
Seek uses a random anonymous identifier and device credential to maintain your identity. Relevant channel members see your nickname and numeric ID to distinguish users. The device credential is held in system secure storage; uninstalling may not reset your identity.
Nickname, language, block list, automatic listening on next launch, background voice reception and other preferences are stored locally. The server retains anonymous identifiers, numeric IDs, block relationships, and the version and time of your agreement acceptance to maintain identity, preserve blocking and record your confirmation. The automatic-listening preference is stored on your device.
5. Operation, security and retention
Network infrastructure processes IP addresses and necessary connection information and may generate operational and security logs. System permission, map and real-time communication components process data needed for their functions. We do not sell information. Connections are encrypted in transit; we do not promise end-to-end encryption or absolute security. Server and backup access is restricted. We retain data for as long as needed for service operation, security, acceptance verification and legal obligations.
Relevant records are included in restricted backups. After verifying a deletion request, we handle online records within its scope and check automated backups, manual copies and restore-test copies. Residual backup records may require rotation or separate cleanup and may not disappear at the same time as online records. Our response will explain the scope, cleanup arrangements, and any records that must still be retained and why. When restoring an older backup, confirmed deletions must be reapplied before the deleted records are returned to service.
6. Listening, background use and your choices
On first use, the listening prompt offers “Start Listening” and “Not Now”. Tapping “Start Listening” in the prompt starts listening for the current session and saves “Auto-listen on startup” as enabled on this device. Choosing “Not Now” or dismissing the prompt does not start listening or change the saved preference. Once the enabled preference is saved successfully, listening starts automatically on the next launch after acceptance, permissions and other required conditions are met. If the preference is disabled or no valid preference exists, the prompt appears again. You can turn “Auto-listen on startup” on or off in Settings. Changes in Settings apply only to the next launch and do not start or interrupt current listening.
You may revoke microphone or location permissions in system settings, which may prevent related features from working. If you enable background voice reception, Seek may continue receiving channel audio and maintaining related connections and location functions as permitted by the operating system. Turning this option off stops background listening. You may stop speaking, switch channels or fully exit the app; moving it to the background is not the same as exiting. If you disagree with the Terms of Use, you can remain on the confirmation screen without entering a channel. Opening or dismissing a legal document does not count as acceptance.
7. Contact and changes
Contact seekapp@163.com with questions or to request access, correction or deletion of records linked to your anonymous identifier. State the numeric ID shown in the app and the scope of your request. We will use necessary and reasonable steps to verify your control of the relevant device identity. A numeric ID or nickname alone does not prove identity. Do not send device credentials or other secrets.
Requests are handled manually. We will explain verification results, what can be processed, and why any part cannot be processed or certain records must be retained. Access responses protect other people’s privacy and exclude their identifying information and internal moderation notes. Deleting server records does not clear local preferences or revoke the device credential; continued use may generate records again. When material policy changes require renewed confirmation, we will present the updated documents for you to review.
8. Reporting and appeals
Seek offers reporting, blocking and appeals. A successful report automatically blocks the reported person. We retain both parties’ anonymous identifiers, the reported nickname, relevant channel, reason and description, along with moderation, notice and appeal records, so administrators can review reports and decide how to respond.
The reported person cannot see the reporter’s ID or internal moderation notes. Reporting does not record audio or collect additional location data. Please avoid including unrelated sensitive information in descriptions.
