4. How Huawei Cloud KooPhone App Protects Your Personal Data

We take the security of your personal data seriously. We take appropriate physical, organizational, and technical measures to protect your personal data. For example, we use encryption to ensure data confidentiality; we use trusted protection mechanisms to prevent malicious data attacks; we deploy access control mechanisms to ensure that only authorized personnel can access your personal data; and we raise awareness among employees about the importance of protecting personal data through security and privacy protection training sessions. While we take the utmost care to protect your personal data, please note that no security measures are completely infallible. You can find more details on our security measures at Huawei Cloud Security. To this end, Huawei Cloud:

a) Sets up a privacy protection organization to identify and manage personal data protection risks;

b) Adopts strict data security and personal data protection policies in accordance with the risk of the categories of data processed.

h) Encryption and pseudonymization of personal data using recommended industry standard protocols as appropriate to prevent data breach and unauthorized access;
