If we are involved in a restructuring, merger & acquisition, separation, bankruptcy, or liquidation lawsuit in a given jurisdiction, your personal data may be disclosed in connection with the transaction.

If allowed by applicable laws, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time when we process your personal data based on your consent. However, withdrawal does not affect the legitimacy or effectiveness of how we process your personal data based on your consent before the withdrawal is made; nor does it affect any data processing based on another legal basis other than your consent.
If you have any questions about how we process your data, please click here to contact a local Huawei data protection officer (DPO). If you think that the way we process your personal data does not comply with applicable data protection laws, you can contact the relevant competent data protection authority.
The security of your personal data is important to us. We use appropriate physical, management, and technical measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access/disclosure/use/modification, damage, or loss. For example, we use cryptographic technologies for data confidentiality, protection mechanisms to prevent attacks, and access control mechanisms to permit only authorized access to your personal data. We also train our employees on security and privacy protection to ensure they have a solid understanding of personal data protection. Although no security measure can ever guarantee complete security, we are fully committed to protecting your personal data.
We will retain your personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes stated in this Statement, unless otherwise extending the retention period is required or permitted by law. The data retention period may vary depending on the scenario, product, and service. The standards we use to determine the retention period include: the time required to retain personal data to fulfill business purposes (including providing products and services; maintaining corresponding transaction and business records; controlling and improving the performance and quality of products and services; ensuring the security of systems, products, and services; handling possible user queries or complaints; and locating problems), whether you agree to a longer retention period, and whether the laws, contracts, and other equivalences have special requirements for data retention. We will maintain your registration information as long as your account is necessary for us to provide you with your desired products and services. You can choose to deregister your account, at which point, we will stop providing you with products and services through your account and delete or anonymize your relevant personal data within a necessary period of time, provided that deletion is not otherwise stipulated by special legal requirements.
