3 Service Content & Usage Scenarios

Service Description

Japa is a standalone application focused on recording and exploring famous scenic spots around the world, aiming to provide you with an immersive scenic exploration experience through waterfall card browsing, scenic detail display, search and categorized collection, and personal footprint recording features.

  • Standalone Local Mode: This application operates in standalone mode, does not rely on online account login, and by default does not publish or share cloud content.
  • Homepage Browsing: Browse exquisite scenic cards, supporting lazy loading, local caching, and basic filtering and search entry points.
  • Detail Page: View large scenic images, locations, descriptions, tags, and related recommendations.
  • Search Module: Search local content based on keywords, locations, tags, and other dimensions (if online services are extended later, it will be separately explained).
  • Add Module: You can take photos or select images from your album to record custom scenic spots and related descriptive information.
  • Collection Module: Collect, categorize, and manage wish lists for favorite scenic spots, marking visited status.
  • Personal Center: Display basic user information, coin balance (local virtual value), block list, user agreement, privacy policy, and about page entry points.

This application currently primarily relies on local data storage. Some functions may integrate network services or cloud synchronization in the future, in which case we will inform you through updated agreements or pop-up notifications and obtain your consent when necessary.

4 Account & Eligibility

Eligibility

In the current version, Japa may primarily operate in local mode, not mandating online account registration, but some functions may rely on device identifiers, local configuration files, or a subsequently extended online account system. Your use of this application indicates that:

  • You have reached the age of full civil capacity as stipulated by the laws of your region;
  • If you are a minor, you have used this application with the consent and guidance of your legal guardian;
  • You have the right and have obtained the necessary authorization to agree to this Agreement and use this Application.

After the introduction of an online account system, if separate terms of service or supplementary agreements are required, we will present them to you in a reasonable manner, and your continued use of related functions will be deemed as acceptance of such terms.

5 Privacy & Data Protection

Privacy & Data

We highly value your privacy and data security. This application prioritizes storing your scenic records, collections, and preferences locally, and is designed to minimize the collection of unnecessary personal information. We will provide a separate "Privacy Policy" document for a more detailed explanation of data processing.

  • Local Data: Includes scenic information, images, collection categories, search history, coin balance, etc., recorded by you, usually stored on your local device.
  • Permission Usage: If system permissions such as camera, photo album, location information, notifications are required, we will request authorization according to system mechanisms, and you can choose to allow or deny.
  • Privacy Tracking Switch: If advertising identifiers or behavioral analysis are involved in the future, this application will comply with iOS's App Tracking Transparency mechanism and provide a privacy tracking switch in the settings.
  • Data Security: Within a reasonable scope, we will adopt encrypted storage, access control, and other means to reduce the risk of data being accessed or leaked without authorization.

You should understand that deleting the application or resetting the device may result in the loss of local data. Please back up your data yourself before performing such operations (if a backup mechanism is available).

For specific categories, uses, and your data subject rights regarding personal information, please refer to the "Privacy Policy." In case of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, the description of personal information processing in the Privacy Policy shall prevail.
