We employ advanced security technologies, including SSL encryption and two-factor authentication, to protect your data. Our security protocols are regularly updated to meet current standards. Access to contractor information is restricted to authorised personnel only.
Sharing of information with third parties
Your data may be shared with banks and financial intermediaries solely for the purpose of executing contractor payments. These entities are contractually bound to keep your information confidential and secure. They are also explicitly prohibited from using your personal and financial data for any purposes other than facilitating payments for ZHISHIQ.
Cross-border transfers
In the course of standard banking processes required for making international payments through regulated banking institutions, we may transfer your data to countries outside of your jurisdiction. We ensure all cross-border transfers comply with relevant data protection laws.
International data considerations
While we do not operate within either U.S. or European Union jurisdictions, we acknowledge that we have contractors based in these areas. This policy is designed to align with widely recognized best practices in data protection and serves as a guideline for those contractors.
