Without your prior consent, CFMEE will not transfer your personal information held by us to other personal information processors. However, if CFMEE participates in mergers, acquisitions, asset sales or reorganizations for other reasons, CFMEE may transfer your personal information to the parties involved in the above transactions. Before transferring your personal information to such third parties, we will inform you of the name and contact information of the recipient and ensure that your personal information will be protected in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. If the recipient changes the purpose or method of processing, we will ask it to obtain your consent again.

Your personal information collected and processed within the territory of the People's Republic of China is stored within the territory of the People's Republic of China, and we will not provide your personal information outside the territory. If your personal information is to be provided to a recipient outside the territory of the People's Republic of China, we will obtain your separate consent and ensure that the protection of your personal information during the transfer is consistent with the protection it receives within China. Such protection may be achieved in several ways, for example, we will sign a data transfer agreement with the overseas recipient that complies with the provisions of the "Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China" and require it to protect your personal information.

Personal Information Retention Period and Information Security

CFMEE adopts reasonable security procedures and measures to protect your privacy and personal information. However, no measure can be impeccable, and no product, service, website, data transmission, computer system, or network connection is absolutely secure. We recommend that you be cautious when transmitting your personal information via the Internet or other means.

The retention period for your personal information will depend on the specific circumstances. The storage period for different types of information may vary, but will comply with the following criteria:
