(5) Protection Measures

After collecting your information, we store your personal data in our self-operated data centers and encrypt it according to security control requirements before storing it. The data is then transmitted abroad via database synchronization, using the HTTPS protocol to ensure the security of the transmission channel.

During cross-border data transmission, a dedicated line is used. Real-time, bidirectional synchronization of data is achieved through an international dedicated line. As this is real-time synchronization at the database level, data flow remains consistent throughout its lifecycle, with updates at any point being immediately synchronized across all locations.

Only authorized company maintenance personnel can remotely access data stored in overseas data centers. We strictly monitor and audit all access activities.
