5.how we protect and retain your personal information
the security of your personal information is important to us. we use appropriate physical, management, and technical measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, modification, damage, or loss. for example, we use protection mechanisms to prevent attacks, and access control mechanisms to permit only authorized access to your personal data. we also provide training on security and privacy protection for employees to raise their awareness of personal data protection. we are committed to protecting your personal data; however, please note that no security measure is perfect.
please be aware that despite our efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security at all times. our systems and the communications networks through which you access our services may be subject to security breaches and failures which are due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
in addition, within some of our services, we may offer you options to amend or delete, and/or change how we and the public can view and/or access, your personal information and/or shared information within those services – in which case, please log into your account with us within the relevant service and make the appropriate changes.
we will retain your personal information for no longer than is necessary for the purposes stated in this policy, unless otherwise extending the retention period is required or permitted by law. the information storage period may vary with scenario, product, and service. the standards we use to determine the retention period are as follows: the time required to retain personal information 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 the user agrees to a longer retention period; and whether the laws, contracts, and other equivalencies have special requirements for information retention; etc. we will maintain your registration information as long as your account is necessary for service provision. you can choose to deregister your account. after you deregister your account, we will stop providing you with products and services through your account and delete your relevant personal data, provided that deletion is not otherwise stipulated by special legal requirements. however, it is important to note that communications made by you using our services may put your personal information in the hands of third parties that we cannot control – for example, if you have previously made your personal information public via our services. in some instances, we may not be able to delete your personal information and/or shared information from our services or systems – in which case we will (where reasonably practicable) let you know why we are unable to do so.
in the case of your personal information breach, we shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal information breach to the supervisory authority competent if you are in the european union, unless the personal information breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of you.
