We deeply recognize the crucial significance of your personal privacy. This Privacy Policy aims to clearly and comprehensively expound to you the stringent protective measures we adopt in all aspects, including storage, transportation, and disposal, when handling the data and personal privacy contained in recycled electronic products. Please read this policy carefully to gain an in – depth understanding of how we protect your privacy in an all – round manner.
- Sources of Data Collection
The electronic products we recycle are highly likely to contain your personal data, which is incorporated into our processing procedures along with the electronic products. The main sources are various waste electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, and tablets that are delivered to us for recycling by consumers.
- Data Privacy Protection in the Storage Phase
Restricted – Area Storage
All electronic products carrying data are properly stored in strictly restricted areas. Entry to this area is subject to extremely strict control. Only specifically authorized personnel, with the specially granted access rights, are eligible to enter the area. The area is surrounded by multiple access control systems, equipped with 24 – hour surveillance devices, and has an automatic alarm system for unauthorized entry. Through these a series of rigorous measures, we ensure from a physical perspective that no unauthorized person can approach the storage area, thus building a solid defense line for data security.
III. Data Privacy Protection in the Transportation Phase
Transportation Partners
We are extremely cautious in selecting transportation partners and only cooperate with those who have an excellent data security record and strict privacy protection policies. At the same time, we explicitly require them to strictly follow the same data security standards as us during the transportation process.
Data Sealing and Packaging Obscuration
Before the transportation begins, the recycled electronic products are carefully and properly sealed to ensure that the data will not be at risk of accidental or illegal access during the entire transportation journey. Meanwhile, to prevent external personnel from identifying that the transported goods are electronic products containing data, we carefully and tightly obscure the outer packaging, effectively preventing the leakage of sensitive information. In addition, all transportation vehicles are equipped with advanced GPS positioning systems and monitoring devices to fully guarantee the safety and traceability of the transportation process.
Emergency Response
We have developed a comprehensive and well – thought – out emergency response plan. In the event of a transportation accident or a risk of data leakage, the emergency response mechanism will be immediately activated. We will promptly take effective measures to prevent further data leakage and notify all relevant parties in a timely and accurate manner.
- Data Privacy Protection in the Disposal Phase
Data Destruction
Before disassembling or otherwise disposing of electronic products, in strict accordance with the R2V3 standard and other relevant Australian standards, we use professional data – destruction tools and technologies to ensure that all data in storage devices can be completely erased, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of data recovery.
Disassembly Supervision and Restricted – Area Operation
Disposal activities such as the disassembly and destruction of electronic waste containing data are all carried out in restricted areas that are strictly isolated from the outside world. Similarly, only authorized personnel are allowed to enter this area. The area is equipped with 24 – hour surveillance devices, and the surveillance data is stored for at least 90 days so that in case of any problems, timely retrospective inspection can be carried out. During the disassembly process, dedicated personnel are arranged to supervise the whole process to effectively prevent accidental damage to data storage components due to improper operation, thereby avoiding the risk of data leakage. Components containing sensitive data will undergo a separate security treatment process.
Compliance Disposal
All our disposal activities always strictly comply with national and local laws and regulations regarding data protection and privacy, effectively ensuring that your personal privacy is fully and comprehensively protected.
- Personnel Management and Data Security Assurance
All employees of our company have received comprehensive and in – depth data security training, deeply understanding the importance of data privacy protection and relevant operating norms. Moreover, each employee has signed a confidentiality agreement clearly defining their confidentiality obligations and responsibilities in the data processing process, minimizing the potential risk of data leakage and ensuring the absolute safety of your privacy.
