  • Legal Authorities: Disclose data if required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety (or that of others).

5. Data Storage & Security

  • Storage Location: Personal Information is stored on secure servers located in the United States. For users in China, this constitutes cross-border data transfer (see Section 6.3 for PIPL-specific rights);
