We do not share your information with any third parties, except where we need to in order to provide the service (e.g., use SMS service providers for account validation for mapping services for other point-of-interest services using our affiliates around the world to help us to deliver WeChat) or if we are instructed to by a court, authority or compelled by law. WeChat uses contact channels provided by you, such as mobile number or email address, for verifying and protecting your account and for important administrative reasons and does not use these channels for promotional or marketing reasons. We use your information for account set-up, to facilitate communications, provide support, allow you to access features of WeChat, and to improve WeChat.

We use your information to provide WeChat to you, allow you to communicate with other users, and to use the features of the WeChat Open Platform. If you use the services available within WeChat (such as posting photos to your Moments and Time Capsule or following Official Accounts), we will process information to allow the services to operate. You can further refine and populate your profile with additional information. To set up your account, we will need a nickname, your mobile number, and a password. If you register an account to use WeChat then we will need some information from you to set this up (e.g., to set up a profile and validate your phone number). What information do you need to provide WeChat? This summary is to help you navigate the privacy policy and it is not a substitute for reading everything! You can use the hyperlinks below to jump directly to particular sections. Here is a summary of the information contained in this privacy policy. Thank you for using our products and services! We respect your concerns about privacy and appreciate your trust and confidence in us.
