In addition, as a global company, we may share personal data with Huawei affiliates and subsidiaries.

Huawei and our authorized partners (data processors) shall establish by contractual mechanisms, technical, physical, administrative and procedural safeguards, in accordance with the adopted requirements and standards, to ensure confidentiality, security, the integrity and availability of personal data processed and their protection against unauthorized use or unauthorized access to personal data, as well as to protect against breaches of data security and confidentiality.

Huawei may also disclose your data when appropriate, for example, to execute Terms and Conditions, when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or when it is in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.
