4. How we protect your personal data permalink

Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity that may arise on your rights and freedoms, Quantil adopts appropriate physical, organizational, and technical measures that are no less than industry standard to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, misuse, or unauthorised access.

To be specific, we have implemented the following measures to protect your personal data:

Organizational Measures permalink

a. Internal system construction: we have established and implemented internal privacy management system, including information security policies, risk assessments guidelines, data audit procedures, remote work policies, incident management programs, data processing addendum, etc.

b. External contract management: in our external cooperation, we ensure that we have entered into relevant contracts with the counterparty, such as data processing agreement, nondisclosure agreement, or inserting personal data protection-related clauses into relevant contract, to require third parties to fulfill their data protection obligations and we will continuously monitor their performance.

c. Access control: we have deployed access control mechanisms and implemented hierarchical permission management based on the necessity of service provision and personnel level to ensure that only authorized personnel can access personal data. Meanwhile, we clearly define and assign the roles and responsibilities of personal data protection, and implement separation of duties to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

d. Awareness & Training: we have a dedicated privacy team responsible for holding regular and ongoing trainings to enhance our employees’ personal data protection awareness.

Technical measures permalink

a. Encryption and pseudonymisation: we adopt appropriate encryption and pseudonymisation measures to prevent data leakage and unauthorized access. For example, in data transmission we leverage encryption technologies, such as RSA and AES, to reduce the data security risks; in data storage and display, we use encryption technologies, such as hash algorithm, NCA algorithm, etc., console desensitization display and other means to protect your personal data.

b. Cybersecurity: we possess appropriate cybersecurity capabilities that are no less than industry standards. For example, we deploy firewall to prevent unauthorized access, implement DDOS protection to ensure the network stability, regularly run vulnerability scanning programs to detect potential security vulnerabilities and develop vulnerability strategies, take appropriate O&M security management and configuration management, remote access to the IT systems via VPN tunnels, etc. An overview of certifications and attestations maintained by Quantil in terms of the security of information systems can be viewed here.

c. Password control: we have implemented password controls in our portal for the CDN Pro product, including password length, complexity, valid period, access attempts, password reset timeframe, etc. All passwords will be stored in a “hashed” form.

d. Back-up: an appropriate backup methodology is implemented to ensure data integrity and timely restoration of core operational data.

Physical Measures permalink

Your personal data is stored in controlled facilities with strict entrance and exit control in place. In such facilities, we have adopted entrance guard system and CCTV to ensure the physical security of the data centers to prevent unauthorized access.

The measures listed above are not all the data protection measures we have taken. In fact, we will do our best to take the most reasonable and reliable protection measures based on the nature of the data. While we take the security of your personal data seriously, please note that no security measures are completely infallible. In the event of any data security risk, Quantil will respond promptly in line with any data breach requirements as detailed in the applicable laws and regulations.

5. How long we retain your personal data permalink

The data retention period may depend on the purposes for which your personal data has been collected and the Services you use. Your personal data will be retained only when it is necessary to fulfill the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise required by laws or requested by you.

When there is no longer a business necessity or legal basis for retaining your personal data, we will promptly erase, delete or anonymize your personal data as soon as possible.

We will make commercially reasonable efforts (such as inserting relevant contractual clauses) to ensure that any third party to whom we disclose your personal data retains your personal data consistent with this Privacy Policy.
