"Personal information submitted by applicants who are not offered employment with the Company will be retained for one year after a decision is made on the applicant's employment, unless a shorter period is required by law. If you are hired for a position, we will retain your information for the duration of the employment relationship and for as long thereafter as required or permitted by the laws of the PRC."

The company retains personal information of rejected applicants for a full year after rejection, and retains hired employees' data indefinitely after employment ends, limited only by what is 'permitted by law' — a vague and potentially very long period.

"The Company may change this Privacy Statement from time to time in its sole discretion. The new privacy statement will apply to all current and past users of the online application page and to all information collected before the date of the change. The new privacy statement will replace any prior privacy statements that are inconsistent. Please check periodically for changes to this Privacy Statement."

The company can unilaterally change the privacy statement at any time, apply it retroactively to all previously collected data, and places the burden on users to check for changes — with no requirement for notice or re-consent.

"In limited circumstances, the Company may entrust a third party to process the information you submit online for the purpose of managing applicant information. We will sign strict agreements with external third parties that we entrust to process your personal information, requiring such external third parties to process your personal information in accordance with our requirements."

The company shares applicant personal information — including sensitive data like ID numbers, salary, and health status — with unnamed third-party processors, with no transparency about who these parties are.

"Sensitive Personal Information: Information related to health status (including serious medical condition or occupational diseases), ID Number/Passport Number, marital status, home address, criminal history, credit record, current compensation/benefits, including basic salary, allowance, bonus and other benefits (including but not limited to insurance benefits, employee assistance programs, details of long-term and short-term incentive plans, retirement plan contributions, reimbursements, and subsidies)."

The company collects an extremely broad range of sensitive personal information from job applicants, including health conditions, criminal history, credit records, and detailed compensation breakdowns — much of which goes beyond what is typically necessary for evaluating job qualifications.

"Internet Or Other Similar Network Activity — Personal Information Collected: log in / out and activity on the Company's electronic applicant systems, information regarding an applicant's interaction with the Company. Purposes of Use: to monitor use of the Company's applicant tracking systems and Careers Site, to conduct internal audits, ensure process integrity to the applicant process."

The company tracks and monitors all applicant activity and interactions across its electronic systems, which could be used to build behavioral profiles of job candidates.

"Sensory Or Surveillance Data — Personal Information Collected: footage from on-site video surveillance cameras. Purposes of Use: to protect the safety and security of the Company's facilities and personnel through video surveillance."

Applicants visiting company facilities are subject to video surveillance, capturing their physical presence and movements on-site.
