(1) You may register for an account in our Services by your phone number or by the user account of the third-party software or platform (e.g. Apple, Google and Facebook) that you legally own. If you choose to register through third-party software or platform, you should ensure that the user account you use has completed the authentication of real identity information and meets the requirements of relevant laws and regulations.

We will complete the deletion 14 days after you confirm your request to delete your account. You can withdraw your request for account deletion at any time within 14 days of submitting your request. Logging in again means that the deletion request has been withdrawn.
If your account is successfully deleted, it means that your account and all data under your account will be completely deleted, and you will no longer be able to use this account to log in and use the corresponding services, and you will no longer be able to access any content under your account (including friend information, posts, videos, etc.), and paid subscriptions or property rights not yet utilized will be deemed to have been abandoned by you and can no longer be used.
