To provide and optimize our products or services, we have third-party SDKs embedded in our apps and applets.

For details on the identity of the third parties and the purpose of collection, etc., please see the description of the third-party SDKs in Annex I of this policy.

We limit the information we send to our service providers and require our service providers to use any shared Personal Information only to provide the requested services in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and require such service providers to have adequate security measures in place to protect any Personal Information you share. We will not share, sell, or disclose your Personal Information except as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

We do not share your Personal Information with companies, organizations, and individuals outside of Jia Finance, except for under the following situations:

• 1. Sharing under legal circumstances: We may share your Personal Information to the public in accordance with laws and regulations, litigation, dispute resolution needs, or as requested by administrative or judicial authorities in accordance with the law.
  
  
• 2. Sharing with explicit consent: We may share your Personal Information with other parties after obtaining your explicit consent.
  
  
• 3. Sharing with affiliates: Your Personal Information may be shared with our affiliates.

• 4. Sharing with Partners: We may delegate some functions to our partners to provide certain services to you or for them to perform functions on our behalf, such as providing credit history services, identity verification, and employment verification. We will only share your information for purposes that are legal, legitimate, necessary, specific, and explicit as stated in this Privacy Policy. Authorized partners will only have access to the information they need to perform their duties and will not use this information for any other purpose. We will carefully evaluate the purposes for which third parties use shared information, make a comprehensive assessment of the security and safety capabilities of those partners, and require that they follow the legal agreements for cooperation. We will conduct strict security monitoring of the software tool development kits (SDKs) and application program interfaces (APIs) used by our partners to obtain information to protect data security. Please see Annex II for an itemized list of situations in which we share your Personal Information with our authorized partners.

We will not transfer your Personal Information to any company, organization or individual, except for under the following situations:

• 1. Transfers with explicit consent: we will transfer your Personal Information to other parties after obtaining your explicit consent.
  
  
• 2. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy liquidation, or in other situations involving a merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy liquidation, if the transfer of Personal Information is involved, we will require the new company or organization holding your Personal Information to continue to be bound by this policy, or we will require the company, organization and individual to seek your authorized consent again.

We will only publicly disclose your Personal Information when:

• 1. We have obtained your express consent or are doing so based on your voluntary choice.
  
  
• 2. We may disclose your Personal Information publicly if compelled to do so by law, legal procedures, litigation, or orders from a competent governmental authority.

Please understand that, in accordance with laws, regulations and national standards, we do not need your prior authorized consent to share, transfer or publicly disclose your Personal Information under the following circumstances:

• 1. Information that is directly related to national security or national defense security.
• 2. Information that is directly related to public safety, public health, or significant public interests.

• 6. Personal Information that has been collected from legitimate publicly disclosed information, such as legitimate news reports, government information disclosure, and other sources.

Please be aware that, in accordance with applicable laws, if we take technical measures and other necessary measures to process Personal Information in such a way that the recipient of the data cannot re-identify a specific individual and cannot recover it, the sharing, transfer, or public disclosure of such processed data does not require separate notification to you and your consent.

• (I) We have implemented reasonable and practicable security measures that meet industry standards to protect your information from unauthorized access, public disclosure, use, modification, damage, or loss. For example, we use encryption technology to enhance the security of Personal Information; we use trusted protection mechanisms to prevent malicious attacks on Personal Information; we deploy access control mechanisms to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to Personal Information; and we enhance employee awareness of the importance of protecting Personal Information.
  
  
• (II) We will improve the security of the whole system in multiple dimensions, such as organization construction, system design, personnel management, and product technology.
  
  
• (III) We will take all reasonable and practical steps to ensure that no unrelated Personal Information is collected. We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy unless an extended retention period is needed or permitted by law.
  
  
• (IV) The Internet is not an absolutely secure environment, and since it is impossible to determine whether email, instant messaging, social networking software and other methods of communication with other users are fully encrypted, we recommend that you use complex passwords when using such tools and take care to protect the security of your Personal Information. We will make every effort to safeguard the security of any information you send us. If our physical, technical, or administrative safeguards are breached, resulting in unauthorized access, public disclosure, tampering or destruction of information, which lead to damage to your legal rights and interests, we will be liable in accordance with relevant laws.
  
  
• (V) After an unfortunate occurrence of any Personal Information safety breach incident, we will inform you in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations, including: the basic situation of the incident and the possible impact, measures we have taken or will take, suggestions for you to independently prevent and reduce relevant risks, remedial measures for you, etc. We will inform you by email, letter, telephone, push notification, etc. When it is difficult to inform the subjects of Personal Information one by one, we will choose a reasonable and effective way to publish an announcement.
  
  
• (VI) At the same time, we will also report the disposition of Personal Information security breach incidents as required by the regulatory authorities. However, no website, app or transmission can fully guarantee the security of Personal Information. Therefore, while we have established and are maintaining procedures that we believe are reasonable to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of Personal Information obtained through our services, we cannot guarantee the security of any Personal Information that you transmit to us.

We may retain Personal Information about you for the purposes expressed in this Privacy Policy. When Personal Information is no longer necessary to achieve such purposes, we will retain the Personal Information in a form that does not identify you, unless we are required by law to retain the Personal Information for a longer period.

The Personal Information associated with your account is usually retained as long as your user account is active. After cancellation of your account, your Personal Information will be deleted or anonymized within one month.

You can access and manage your Personal Information in the following ways:

You may request access to any Personal Information we hold about you at any time. If you believe that the Personal Information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, you may request that we correct that information. We will consider whether such information needs to be amended. If we do not both agree that there is a reason to amend the relevant Personal Information, then we will add a note to the Personal Information to indicate that you do not consent to the amendment of such information. In response to the foregoing request, you may contact us by using the contact information in Section XI.

You may delete some of your information in the manner specified in Section XI. You may also make a request to us to delete your Personal Information in the following cases:

• 1. If our handling of Personal Information violates laws and regulations.
• 2. If we collect and use your Personal Information without your explicit consent.
• 3. If our processing of Personal Information is in material breach of our agreements with you.
• 4. If you no longer use our products or services, or if you voluntarily cancel your account.
• 5. If we permanently cease to provide products or services to you.
  
  If we decide to respond to your request for deletion, we will also notify the subjects who received your Personal Information from us, if possible, and request that they delete it promptly (unless otherwise required by applicable laws or regulations, or unless these subjects have independently obtained your authorization).

After you have deleted, or we have assisted you in deleting the relevant information, we may not be able to immediately remove the corresponding information from the backup system because of applicable laws and security technology. We will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until the backup can be made anonymous.

Each business function requires some basic Personal Information in order to be completed (see Section I of this Privacy Policy). You may give or withdraw your authorized consent for the collection and use of additional Personal Information collected at any time. You may give or withdraw your consent by, for example, changing the settings of your Equipment.

When you withdraw your consent, we will no longer process the corresponding Personal Information. However, your decision to withdraw your consent will not affect the processing of personal data previously carried out on the basis of your authorization.

You can apply for cancellation of your account in the ways listed in Section XI.

After you voluntarily cancel your account, we will stop providing you with products or services, delete your Personal Information or anonymize it as required by applicable law.

For security purposes, you may be required to provide a written request or otherwise prove your identity. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request.

We will respond within 15 days. If you are not satisfied, you can also initiate a complaint through the methods listed in Section XI.

In principle, we do not charge a fee for your reasonable requests, but we will charge a fee for repeated requests that exceed reasonable limits, at our discretion. We may deny requests for information that is not directly related to your identity, that is unwarrantedly repetitive, or that requires excessive technical means (for example, requiring the development of new systems or fundamental changes to current practices), that poses a risk to the legal rights of others, or that is impractical.

We will not be able to respond to your request if we are required by law or regulation to do so under the following circumstances:

• 1. Circumstances related to national security or national defense security.
• 2. Circumstances related to public safety, public health, or significant public interests.

• 4. Where there is sufficient evidence of subjective malice or abuse of rights by the subject of relevant Personal Information.
• 5. Where responding to your request will result in serious damage to the legitimate rights and interests of you or other individuals or organizations.
• 6. When trade secrets are involved.

You have the right to request that we explain this Privacy Policy to you at any time by contacting us through the contact information in Section XI.

Please refer to the How we share, transfer, and publicly disclose your information section in our Privacy Policy for more information on how we have shared personal information about you in the past 12 months.

As a California resident, you may be able to exercise the following rights in relation to the Personal Information about you that we have collected (subject to certain limitations at law):

You have the right to request any or all of the following information relating to your personal information we have collected and disclosed in the last 12 months, upon verification of your identity:

-The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you;

-The categories of personal information we have collected about you;

-The categories of sources of the personal information;

-The categories of personal information that we have disclosed to third parties for a business purpose, and the categories of recipients to whom this information was disclosed;

-The categories of personal information we have sold about you (if any), and the categories of third parties to whom the information was sold; and

-The business or commercial purposes for collecting or, if applicable, selling the personal information.

You have the right to request the deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.

We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. However, California law may characterize our sharing of personal information with companies that provide services to us, such as companies that help us to market or advertise our products and services to you, as “sales”. We may “sell” or may have “sold” the following categories of personal information for valuable consideration to the third parties listed below:

Categories we may sell or may have sold this information to Advertising companies:

-Equipment/ Device information

-Online or network activity information

-System information

-Commercial information

-Inferences

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising these rights.
However, please note that if the exercise of these rights limits our ability to process personal information (such as in the case of a deletion request), we may no longer be able to provide you our products and services or engage with you in the same manner.

California residents that have an established business relationship with us have rights to know how their information is disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes under California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civ. Code §1798.83).

To exercise your Right to Know and/or your Right to Deletion, please submit a request by:

You can contact us via the following methods, and we will respond to your request within 15 days.

1. You may contact us through the online contact/customer service system provided on the Jia Finance App.

2. We have a Personal Information protection officer who you can contact at support@jiafinance.com.

Verifiable Consumer Requests. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access to your personal information twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must: 1) Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of that person; and 2) Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request to exercise your access and/or deletion rights if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password-protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format. We will respond to your request within 15 days. For access requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. In principle, we do not charge a fee for your reasonable requests, but we will charge a fee for repeated requests that exceed reasonable limits, at our discretion. We may deny requests for information that is not directly related to your identity, that is unwarrantedly repetitive, or that requires excessive technical means (for example, requiring the development of new systems or fundamental changes to current practices), that poses a risk to the legal rights of others, or that is impractical.

You have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information. If you would like to exercise your right to request opt-out of sale, please email support@jiafinance.com with the subject: “CCPA – Do Not Sell”. Please note that we may still use aggregated and de-identified personal information that does not identify you or any individual; we may also retain information as needed in order to comply with legal obligations, enforce agreements, and resolve disputes.

Our products, websites and services are intended primarily for adults. If you are a Minor, please do not use or discontinue using our products and/or services.

If you are the guardian of a minor, when you have any questions about whether a Minor in your custody is using our services or whether he or she has provided information to us, please contact us promptly through the contact information below. If we discover that we have unknowingly collected Personal Information from a Minor, we will attempt to delete the relevant data as soon as possible.

In addition to the rights described above, California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section §1798.83) permits California residents that have an established business relationship with us to request certain information regarding our disclosure of certain types of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year. To make such a request, please send an email to support@jiafinance.com. This request may be made no more than once per calendar year. We reserve our right not to respond to requests submitted other than to the email address specified in this section.
