1. How Huawei Cloud Collects Your Personal Data

1.1  Personal Data

Personal data means any data that, either on its own or jointly with other data, can be used to identify a natural person. We collect personal data from you in the course of your interaction with us with various purposes, such as providing you with our products or services and maintaining the best operation of our products or services. Your interaction with us may include, registering an account with this Website, subscribing to our products or services, completing payment with us, contacting us when handling some problems, browsing our Website and configuring your settings for our Website or your account.

According to your use of this Website and the products or services offered by us, the personal data we collect mainly includes the following:

a)    Personal data submitted to us to register user accounts with this Website, such as user name and email address.

b)    Personal data provided when you contact us, use our products or services, or obtain support or help from us, such as address, post code, name, passport or other ID information, bank account information, mobile phone number, name of your company, industry, position, invoice information, tax information and signature.

c)    Personal data obtained and collected automatically by us when you access and use this Website or services provided by this Website, such as your browse history, access date and time, browser information you use (including but not limited to fonts, types, etc.), your actions on the Website, hardware and software features, and network link information (IP address, port, network protocol, etc.).

d)    Personal data that we legally obtain from business partners (“Partners” which join Huawei Cloud Partner Network) or third parties. We may receive personal data about you from publicly and commercially available sources as permitted by applicable laws and regulations.

Many of our products or services require some personal data to operate. If you choose not to provide data necessary to operate, you may not be able to use that products or services. For example if you do not register an account on our Website and submit your personal data, you cannot purchase our products or services. In some other cases, where providing the data is optional, and you choose not to submit personal data, you may be unable to use some features of products or services, like personalization, but this will not affect your using of other products or services offered by us.

1.2  Non-personal Data

Non-personal data refers to data that cannot be used to identify an individual. For example, we may collect aggregated statistics, such as the number of visitors to the Website. We collect this data to understand how people use our Website, products and services. This allows us to improve products or services to better satisfy users’ needs. We may, at our own discretion, collect, use, process, transfer, or disclose non-personal data for other purposes.

We endeavor to keep your personal data and non-personal data separate, and use each independently. If personal data is combined with non-personal data, it will be treated as personal data.

2. How Huawei Cloud Processes Your Personal Data

We may not use your personal data except in the following cases:

a)      Creating an account.

b)      Fulfilling your transaction or service requests, including fulfilling orders; delivering, activating, or verifying products or services; fulfilling your requests for changes or providing you with the requested information (such as marketing materials for products and services, and white papers); and providing technical support.

c)      Contacting you; sending you information about products and services that may interest you; inviting you to participate in Huawei Cloud activities (including promotional activities), market surveys, or satisfaction surveys; or sending you marketing information. If you do not want to receive these types of information, you can opt out at any time (Please refer to 5. How to Access or Control Your Personal Data).

d)      Sending you important notices.

e)      Providing you with personalized user experience and content.

f)       Improving our products and services through internal audits, data analysis, and research.

i)       Ensuring the security of our products, services and customers or users, executing and improving our loss prevention and anti-fraud programs.

j)       Complying with and enforcing applicable legal requirements or industry standards.

We may not disclose your personal data to a third party except in the following cases:

a)      The disclosure is mandatorily required in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

b)      We may disclose your personal data within the most limited scope, when appropriate, for protecting rights or property of Huawei Cloud, our customers and the public. For example, we may disclose your personal data, when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent or defend cyber threat, fraud, physical harm, or financial loss, or when it is in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

c)      We may disclose your personal data to our associate companies, our affiliates, service providers, subcontractors, partners or successors to enable them to provide transaction support, service support or security support for you.

4. How Huawei Cloud Protects Your Personal Data

We take personal data security seriously. We will take appropriate physical, organizational, and technical measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, use, modification, damage or loss. 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 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 of our security compliance at Huawei Cloud Security (https://www.huaweicloud.com/intl/securecenter/overallsafety.html).

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 by laws or requested by you. The data 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 data to fulfill business purposes, including providing products and services; maintaining corresponding transaction and business records as required by laws; 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 data retention; etc. We will maintain your account 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.

Although we protect your personal data, you are responsible for safekeeping your data including accounts and passwords.

If you find your account or password is used by others without your permission to log in to this Website, please notify us of this case promptly. You have the right to request us to suspend any unauthorized use of your account or password.
