Cookies

We use cookies, as does the rest of the internet. We strictly use them to maintain your session state and login credentials across multiple sessions. If you're allergic to cookies, please do not use our services.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third-party websites before providing any personal information.

Age Restriction

We attach great importance to children's privacy. We believe that children under the age of 13 do not have sufficient subjective judgment ability and need to be under the supervision of legal guardians to use our services. Therefore, once it is confirmed that personal information has been filled out by children under the age of 13 without the consent of their legal guardians, we will take measures to remove this information from the database.

Unfortunately, we're unable to determine the occurrence of such situations based on the information we collect and store. If you, as a legal guardian, discover such a situation and wish for us to take action, please send an email to contact@phi.zone from the email address associated with the target account, indicating the specific situation and the measures you would like us to take. Upon receiving the email, if the situation is determined to be true, we will take corresponding measures within 7 business days.
