1. Quick Summary
Welg is designed as a local-first creative app. In the current version, selected photos are intended to stay on your device and are used to build your neon memory city. Welg does not currently offer account login, cloud sync, third-party advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising.
We may handle information you provide directly, information created by app use, purchase-related records received through the app store, and messages you send to us for support. We use this information to operate the app, remember settings, process purchases through the app store, respond to requests, protect users, and comply with law.
2. Scope
This Privacy Agreement applies to Welg, including the app experience sometimes described as Dream Neon Rebuild: a dreamy neon 3D interactive visual app where photos become buildings, fictional disasters affect the city, and users rebuild and expand the city.
This Privacy Agreement also functions as a notice at collection and regional privacy notice where applicable. It should be read together with the Welg User Agreement.
3. Information We Handle

6. Storage And Retention
Local app data may be stored on your device until you delete it, use app reset controls, uninstall the app, or your device or operating system removes it. Local app data may include selected photo copies, thumbnails, city state, settings, and replay cache.
Support emails and privacy requests are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain records, resolve disputes, prevent misuse, and comply with legal obligations. Purchase-related information handled by app stores is retained according to those platforms' rules and applicable law.
When information is no longer needed for the purposes described above, we will delete, de-identify, or stop retaining it where reasonably possible and legally appropriate.
7. Your Choices And Controls
You can withdraw consent to optional processing by disabling the relevant permission or feature where available. If you withdraw consent for photo access, some photo-based features may stop working.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information handled by Welg. No app, device, storage method, or network can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You can help protect your data by keeping your device, operating system, app, app-store account, and device passcode secure.
9. Children
Welg is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without legally required parent or guardian consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information in a way that requires deletion or review, contact us at welgcyl@163.com.
If your region requires a higher age for privacy consent, users below that age should use Welg only with valid parent or guardian consent.
10. International Transfers
Welg may be used in multiple countries. Local app data generally remains on your device. If you contact us by email, make a purchase, receive platform support, or use future online features, information may be processed in countries where we, app stores, email providers, platform providers, or service providers operate.
Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, contractual protections, consent, legitimate operational needs, or other lawful transfer mechanisms to protect information transferred internationally.
11. Regional Privacy Rights
California
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act may give you rights to know/access, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information, data portability, and non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights.
Welg does not sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising in the current version. Because of that, a "Do Not Sell or Share" request will be treated as a confirmation request unless our practices change. Welg also does not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics or for purposes outside those reasonably necessary to provide the app experience.
Canada
For users in Canada, we aim to follow the principles of meaningful consent, limiting collection to appropriate purposes, safeguarding personal information, retention only as needed, and providing access or correction rights where applicable. You may withdraw consent to optional processing, subject to legal or practical consequences such as losing access to photo-based features.
Singapore
For users in Singapore, this Privacy Agreement identifies purposes for collection, use, and disclosure of personal data, and provides a contact channel for access, correction, withdrawal of consent, questions, and complaints. We aim to apply reasonable protection, accuracy, retention, transfer, and breach-response practices where applicable.
Australia
For users in Australia, we aim to handle personal information consistently with the Privacy Act and Australian Privacy Principles where they apply, including transparency, collection for appropriate purposes, security, access, correction, and complaint handling.
Other Locations
You may have additional privacy rights under laws that apply to your location. Contact us to exercise those rights, and we will respond as required by applicable law.
12. Privacy Requests And Complaints
To make a privacy request, email welgcyl@163.com. Please include "Welg Privacy Request" in the subject line and describe the right you want to exercise.
Because Welg currently does not use account login, we may need information from you to verify the request and locate any information we control, such as the email address you used to contact us, purchase-related details you choose to provide, or screenshots that help identify the issue. We may not be able to access or delete data stored only on your device, but we can explain available in-app and device-level deletion options.
We will respond within the time required by applicable law. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may have the right to contact a privacy regulator in your location.
13. Updates To This Privacy Agreement
We may update this Privacy Agreement to reflect changes to Welg, legal requirements, app-store rules, or privacy practices. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify users through the app, app listing, website, or another reasonable method.
The "Effective Date" at the top of this page shows when this version applies.
