3. How We Protect and Retain Your Personal Data
SHINE strictly follows the principles of “storage limitation,” “data minimization,” and “accuracy” in protecting personal data. To retain personal data, SHINE implements appropriate security measures.
We use physical, administrative, and technical safeguards — including but not limited to access controls, monitoring systems, intrusion detection, anti‑spam mechanisms, endpoint security protection, vulnerability scanning, encryption, anonymization or de‑identification, and employee training — to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or other unlawful forms of processing. Our information security policies and procedures are designed in strict alignment with international standards and are regularly reviewed and updated.
SHINE retains your personal data only for the shortest period necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy. After the related business is completed, we promptly delete the data, provided that no applicable law or regulation requires otherwise. Retention periods may vary based on the scenario and the specific product or service. The criteria SHINE uses to determine retention periods include, but are not limited to: the type of product or service provided; the time needed to achieve the data processing purposes; the duration for which the product or service is offered; and the need to protect the public interest.
SHINE stores your personal data properly in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and takes appropriate measures to ensure data security.
4. How We Share, Transfer, and Disclose Your Personal Data
(1) Sharing
Sharing is the process by which SHINE provides personal data to other independent personal data controllers, each of whom has independent control over the data. SHINE is committed to keeping your personal data strictly confidential. Unless otherwise required by law or regulatory authorities, SHINE will not share your personal data with entities, organizations, or individuals outside SHINE. If sharing with a third party becomes necessary, we will follow these principles:
A. Sharing with your explicit consent: After obtaining your explicit permission, SHINE may share your personal data with other parties.
B. Sharing required by law: SHINE may share your personal data in response to legal requirements, litigation demands, or lawful requests from administrative or judicial authorities.
C. In certain circumstances, sharing your personal data is the only reasonable way to facilitate service delivery or help resolve a dispute.
D. Sharing with third‑party service providers that partner with SHINE: To help SHINE provide services to you, your personal data may be shared with third‑party service providers. SHINE will share only the personal data necessary for the product or service.
(2) Transfer
SHINE will not transfer your personal data to any entity, organization, or individual except in the following cases:
A. With your prior authorization or consent;
B. As required by applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or mandatory administrative or judicial requests.
(3) Public Disclosure
SHINE will not publicly disclose your personal data unless we have obtained your explicit consent or you have taken the initiative to make the disclosure yourself.
(4) Exceptions Where Prior Authorization or Consent Is Not Required for Sharing, Transfer, or Disclosure
Your prior consent is not required for sharing, transferring, or publicly disclosing your personal data in the following situations:
A. When it relates to SHINE’s compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation;
B. When it involves national security or national defense;
C. When it involves public safety, public health, or a major public interest;
D. When it directly relates to criminal investigations, prosecutions, trials, or the enforcement of court judgments;
E. When it is necessary to protect your or another person’s vital legitimate interests (such as life or property) and obtaining your consent is impractical;
F. When you have already voluntarily made the personal data public;
G. When the personal data is obtained from lawfully public sources (e.g., legitimate news reports or government disclosures);
H. Other circumstances provided for by law.
5. Your Rights
You should ensure that all personal data submitted to SHINE is accurate. SHINE is committed to maintaining the accuracy and completeness of personal data and keeping it up to date.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you may have the right to: (i) access and obtain a copy of certain personal data we hold about you; (ii) request that we update or correct inaccuracies in that data; (iii) object to or restrict our use of your personal data; and (iv) request that we delete your personal data from our databases. To exercise these rights, please contact us through the channels listed in the “How to Contact Us” section of this Policy. We will verify your identity in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. We may decline a request if we have reasonable grounds to believe it is fraudulent, unfeasible, or could violate the privacy rights of others.
Where permitted by applicable law, if Shine processes your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. However, withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness and validity of processing that occurred before the withdrawal, nor does it affect any processing based on legal grounds other than consent.
6. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
We or our third‑party service providers may obtain and use your personal data through cookies or similar technologies.
A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a web server to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard drive. We use cookies to provide a better experience for our users.
We use our own cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as remembering your identity. For example, cookies or similar technologies help us recognize you as a registered user of our services.
7. Cross‑Border Transfers of Your Personal Data
SHINE operates as a global company. In most cases, we process your personal data in the country or region where you use our products or services. In certain circumstances, we may also transfer your personal data to other countries or regions where SHINE, its affiliates, or its service providers are located. Those countries or regions may have their own personal data protection laws. In such cases, we will take necessary measures in accordance with applicable laws to ensure that cross‑border transfers comply with this Privacy Policy and relevant local laws.
8. Updates to This Policy
SHINE reserves the right to update or amend this Policy at any time. We will post the latest version of the Privacy Policy on this page to reflect any changes.
