We will take necessary measures in accordance with the law, including but not limited to obtaining your separate consent, entering into standard contractual clauses with overseas recipients to stipulate the rights and obligations of both parties, and ensuring adequate protection for your Personal Information.</p> <p>If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or complaints about the cross-border processing of personal information described above, you can contact us or contact overseas recipients through the contact details listed in this Appendix or Informa's Group Privacy Policy.</p> <h2>Section 5.  Sharing Personal Information</h2> <p>We will only share your Personal Information if we have obtained your separate consent as required by PIPL or in circumstances where your consent is not required according to laws and regulations.</p> <p><strong>5.1 Sharing</strong> <strong>with Affiliates</strong></p> <p>In the event of sharing your Personal Information with Informa affiliates outside of China, we will also ensure that such sharing complies with the prerequisites and procedures set forth in Section 4.</p> <p>We only share Personal Information when it’s necessary, and within the purposes stated in this Appendix or Informa's Group Privacy Policy.  If Informa affiliates intend to process your Personal Information for purposes that are different from the purposes for which it was originally collected, we will seek your authorization and consent again.</p> <p>We will ensure appropriate technical and organizational security controls are implemented for the protection of your personal information when it is transferred and processed between Informa affiliates.</p> <p><strong>5.2 Sharing with Service Providers</strong></p> <p>We may share your Personal Information with authorized partners so they can provide certain services or functions on our behalf, as set forth in the Informa Group Privacy Policy.</p> <p>In particular, in order to improve the strength and stability of our WeChat mini-programs, we might embed application program interfaces (APIs) and software tool development kits (SDKs) or other similar applications of authorized partners (including WeChat companies and other third-parties). We will conduct strict security testing on the APIs and SDKs to obtain relevant information and establish strict data protection agreements which require authorized partners to process Personal Information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, as well as this Appendix and any other relevant confidentiality and security measures, unless authorized partners obtain your consent separately.</p> <p><strong>5.3 Sharing with other Personal Information processors</strong></p> <p>When we share your Personal Information with other Personal Information processors, we will inform you of the name of the recipient, contact information, processing purpose, processing method and type of Personal Information shared.</p> <p>If such sharing is based on consent, we will also obtain your separate consent in accordance with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations.</p> <p>If we determine that you have violated laws and regulations or seriously violated the relevant agreements and rules of the platforms you signed up to, to protect the personal and property safety of other users from infringement, we may share your Personal Information or business information in accordance with the law.</p> <p><strong>Section 6.  Your Rights</strong></p> <p>Under PIPL, you (or in limited circumstances, your next of kin) may have the right to require us to:</p> <ul> <li>Provide you further details on the processing of your Personal Information</li> <li>Provide you a copy of your Personal Information that you have provided to us</li> <li>Correct or update incorrect or incomplete information if the correction does not affect the objectivity and accuracy of the information</li> <li>Delete any Personal Information that we no longer have a lawful ground to use, if the collection or use of the Personal Information violates the applicable law or our agreement with you</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Change the scope of your consent to our processing of your personal information or withdraw your consent</li> <li>Request the transfer of your Personal Information to another Personal Information processor designated by you when it meets the conditions stipulated by the authorities</li> <li>Cancel your registered account at any time</li> </ul> <p>For security reasons, we may verify your identity before processing your request.
