Privacy Consent UI Example

For more guidance on privacy requirements in China, visit:
User Privacy & Data Handling Requirements

In accordance with Chinese privacy regulations, especially the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), all apps distributed in China must display a clear and explicit privacy policy consent prompt when the user opens the app for the first time. Data collection or processing is not permitted until the user has given affirmative consent.

This page provides reference examples for compliant consent interfaces, including a modal dialog and a checkbox approach. These examples are based on common UI practices accepted by major Chinese app stores.

Key Requirements

  • When to show: On the first launch, before any data collection begins
  • What to show: A summary of the privacy policy and a link to the full version
  • User choice: Consent must be active (no pre-checked boxes or implied agreement)
  • Blocking logic: Users must not access the main app functions before agreeing
  • Recordkeeping (recommended): Log timestamp and version of consent

Example 1: Consent Modal (Recommended)

Privacy consent popup - Chinese version

Displaying the consent interface in English is not required under Chinese regulations.

This is the most commonly accepted form: a full-screen or centered modal dialog that shows upon first launch.

Recommended copy (in Chinese, with English translation for reference):

本应用尊重并保护所有用户的个人隐私权。为了给您提供更准确、更有个性化的服务，本应用会按照隐私政策的规定使用和披露您的个人信息。可阅读 [服务协议] 和 [隐私政策]。

This app respects and protects the personal privacy of all users. To provide you with more accurate and personalized services, your personal information will be used and disclosed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You may read the [Terms of Service] and [Privacy Policy].

Buttons:

  • [同意] → Proceeds to app
  • [不同意] or [不同意并退出App] → Stays on screen or closes app

Example 2: Checkbox Under Login Form

Login checkbox - Chinese version

Displaying the consent interface in English is not required under Chinese regulations.

In this approach, a privacy acknowledgment is added below the login or registration form. The login button must be disabled until the user manually checks the box.

Recommended copy (in Chinese, with English translation for reference):

我已阅读并同意 [用户协议] 和 [隐私政策]

I have read and agree to the [Privacy Policy] and [User Agreement].

  • The checkbox must be unchecked by default
  • User must check it to proceed with login or registration
  • A link to the full policy should open in-app or via WebView

Optional: English UI Reference

Best Practices

  • Make sure the full privacy policy is accessible via link and written in Chinese
  • Consent must be clearly separate from general “I have read” messages
  • Avoid any behavior that assumes consent by default or uses passive prompts
  • If your app updates privacy terms in the future, re-prompt the user for consent
