### Data Management and Security Measures  
The paper enhances methods for storing, encrypting, and protecting the privacy of user interaction data, including collaboration records and plot selections. Offline data is stored locally using the AES-256 encryption standard. The management framework includes:  
* Data storage strategy: Real-time collaboration data is stored locally and not uploaded to the cloud post-session.
* Privacy protection measures: Anonymization of user identities and filtering of sensitive content.
* Compliance description: Adherence to GDPR or Chinese university test data protection regulations.
