We will not charge any fees for your reasonable requests. However, if your requests are lodged repeatedly or beyond a reasonable extent, we will charge fees of a proper amount depending on the cost. We may refuse your requests if they are repeated without reason, need to be replied through too many technical methods (for example, a new system needs to be developed or the existing common practices need to be fundamentally reformed), pose risks to others' legal rights or interests, or are fairly unrealistic (for example, they involve information stored on backup tapes).

How We Deal with Children's Personal Information
Our products, website and services are designed mainly for adults. No child is allowed to create a personal information subject account by himself or herself, without the consent of his or her parent or guardian.
Where the personal information of a child is collected with the consent of his or her parent, we will use or publicly disclose such information only when it is permitted under the law, the child's parent or guardian grants explicit consent or it is necessary to do so to protect the child.
We regard any minor who is under the age of 14 a child, no matter whether the child is defined differently under local laws and by local customs.
If we find that we have collected the personal information of a child without prior and provable consent from the child's parent, we will do our best to delete the relevant information as soon as possible.
How Your Personal Information Will Be Transferred Globally
In principle, the information we collect and generate within the territory of the People's Republic of China will be stored within the territory of the People's Republic of China.
The fact that we provide our products or services through our worldwide resources and servers means that [your personal information for the service/for business function 1/…] will be transferred to other overseas jurisdictions outside the territory of the country where you use our products or services or region, or be accessed by these overseas jurisdictions, when we have obtained your authority and consent.
There may exist different data protection laws in these overseas jurisdictions, or even there may not be applicable laws there. In such case, we will ensure that your personal information is fully protected in the same way as it is within the territory of the People's Republic of China. For example, we will seek your consent to the transfer of your personal information across borders, put in place safeguards, such as data de-identification, prior to the cross-border transfer of data, or make a data transfer contract with recipients.
We will take appropriate measures, in compliance with applicable law, to ensure that your personal information remains protected. To request more information or to obtain a copy of the contractual agreements in place, contact us: See the How to Contact Us section.
How the Privacy Policy will be updated
Our Privacy Policy may be changed.
We will not reduce your rights due under the Privacy Policy, without your explicit consent. We will publish any change to the Privacy Policy on this webpage.
