3. Legal Basis for Processing (Where Applicable)

Under PIPL and GDPR:

You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.

4. Sharing Your Information

We share personal information only in limited circumstances:

· With service providers (e.g., hosting providers, email platforms, payment processors, analytics tools) who act on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect your data

We do not sell your personal information.

5. International Data Transfers

The Website servers and service providers may be located in China or other countries. If you are accessing the Website from outside China (e.g., the EU), your information may be transferred to and processed in China. We implement appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to ensure adequate protection.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures (encryption, access controls, regular audits) to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described or required by law (typically up to 5 years after your last interaction, unless longer retention is mandated).
