This Privacy Policy applies to the access and use of the Alibaba Cloud International Website currently located at www.alibabacloud.com and the Alibaba Cloud International Marketplace Platform currently located at https://marketplace.alibabacloud.com/ (the “International Marketplace”) (collectively the “Alibaba Cloud Platform”), and the use by registered users of the Alibaba Cloud Platform of Alibaba Cloud products and services (the “Cloud Services”) provided by the Alibaba Cloud entity listed in Clause 2 of the Terms of Use (referred to as “we”, “our” or “Alibaba Cloud” hereinafter). Terms not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the same meaning as in the Terms of Use of the Alibaba Cloud Platform.

This Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use, transfer, retain, secure and disclose your personal data and/or personal data about your customers or end users that you provide to us pursuant to your use of the Alibaba Cloud Platform and/or our Cloud Services, as well as other terms relating to data location. It also describes your choices regarding use, access and correction of your personal data.

Many of our Cloud Services offered through the Alibaba Cloud Platform are intended for use by business organisations. If you use your organisation’s email address to register an account and purchase or use our Cloud Services, the owner of the domain associated with your organisation’s email address, and/or your organisation, may monitor or control your account with the Alibaba Cloud Platform and access, process, and/or control your personal data, as well as the contents of your communications and files. Your organisation’s use of our Cloud Services may be subject to your organisation’s own rules or policies, and you shall direct all privacy enquiries relating to such rules or policies to your organisation’s administrators.

Cloud Services may be used by our customers (i.e. registered users of Alibaba Cloud) to develop or host their own services and products for the customer’s end users. Any information collected or handled by Alibaba Cloud in such circumstances is processed on behalf of our customer who controls the collection and use of such information. We do not have a direct relationship with the end users of our customers. Where this is the case, end users should direct all privacy enquiries, such as any requests to access, correct, amend or delete personal data, to the Alibaba Cloud customer providing their services or products. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of our customers.

A. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

You may also provide to us additional optional contact information in your account profile, such as email address for sub-accounts, and additional contact phone numbers.

2. We record details of your activities (including any purchase or use of our product offerings and services) when you use the Alibaba Cloud Platform and/or certain Cloud Services for legal and/or business purposes.

5. Please note that certain categories of data are necessary for us to provide the Cloud Services, such as user name, address, phone number, and email address.

7. We may from time to time collect additional information from you (such as copies of identification documents) and obtain information about you from third parties in order to carry out risk control, fraud prevention and compliance procedures.

These Third Party Service Providers may be located in Singapore or outside of Singapore, and are engaged under terms compliant with applicable data protection laws and/or appropriate duties of confidentiality to us and are only permitted to use your personal data in connection with the purposes specified in Section B above, and not for their own purposes.

Other than such personal data disclosed by Alibaba Cloud to the Third Party Vendor, in some cases you may be required to submit personal data to Third Party Vendors to use such Marketplace Products. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such collection, use or disclosure of personal data by Third Party Vendors. The privacy policies of Third Party Vendors may differ from ours, and we have no control over the information that you submit to those Third Party Vendors. You should read the relevant privacy policies for those Third Party Vendors before providing your information to such Third Party Vendors.

In some cases you may be required to submit personal data to register or apply for products or services provided by such third parties or co-branded partners. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these third party sites or co-branded sites. The privacy policies of those other parties may differ from ours, and we have no control over the information that you submit to those third parties. You should read the relevant privacy policy for those third party sites and co-branded sites before responding to any offers, products or services advertised by those parties.

If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern.

We are committed to subjecting all personal data received from European Union (EU) member countries, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, respectively, in reliance on each Data Privacy Framework, to the Framework’s applicable Principles. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

Alibaba Cloud US LLC and Alibaba Cloud LLC are responsible for the processing of personal data they receive, and subsequently transfer to a third party acting as an agent on their behalf. Alibaba Cloud US LLC and Alibaba Cloud LLC comply with the DPF Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions.

With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the DPF Frameworks, Alibaba Cloud US LLC and Alibaba Cloud LLC are subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF, Alibaba Cloud US LLC and Alibaba Cloud LLC commits to refer unresolved complaints concerning our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF to TRUSTe, an alternative dispute resolution provider based in the United States.

E. SECURITY MEASURES

We use commercially reasonable endeavors to protect the personal data that you provide to us. We also employ several security techniques, including but not limited to the use of industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for transmission of personal data in registration information and payment information and the adoption of identity, credential and access management measures for transmission of such personal data to prevent security breaches and unauthorized access of personal data. We limit access to your personal data and other data to people who need access to such data for their work.

Nevertheless, no data transmission over the internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. We cannot and do not guarantee security in connection with your use of the Alibaba Cloud Platform and our Cloud Services.

We retain your personal data as long as you have an account with us, as needed to provide services or products to you, to resolve disputes, to serve the purpose of research and statistical analysis or as required or permitted by applicable laws, such as tax and accounting laws.

F. PERIOD OF RETENTION AND PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

We retain your personal data for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements). In certain circumstances, we will need to keep your personal data for legal reasons after our relationship has ended. The specific retention periods depend on the nature of the personal data and why it is collected and processed, and the nature of the legal requirement.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need or legal reason to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible, then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.​

G. PROCESS AND METHOD OF DESTRUCTION OF PERSONAL DATA

Alibaba Cloud will delete your personal data as described in Section F of this Privacy Policy. When deleting personal data, we will take standard commercially reasonable measures to make the personal data practically irrecoverable or irreproducible. The specific manner of deletion will depend on the data being deleted, how the data was collected and stored, and your interactions with us. Electronic documents or files containing personal data will be deleted using a technical method that makes recovery or retrieval of such information practically impossible or renders the data no longer personally identifiable. Non-electronic documents or files containing personal data will be shredded, incinerated, or both.

H. RIGHT TO ACCESS/CORRECT PERSONAL DATA; CONTACTING US

You have the right to request access to your personal data held by us (or on our behalf) and to request correction or deletion of such personal data.

Our business may require us to transfer your personal data to countries outside of the EEA or the UK, including to countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country, such as the United States, Singapore and China. We strive to take appropriate steps to ensure that an adequate level of protection is provided for your personal data.
