A. Personal Data Collected by QUBA
Before using QUBA products or services, you may need to provide personal data. You do not have to provide your personal data to QUBA , but in some cases, the non-provision of certain personal data will cause the inability to provide you with some related products or services.
QUBA will collect and use your personal data for the purposes stated in Policy. Here are some examples of personal data we may collect:

Some QUBA products allow you to communicate and share information with others. When you use a QUBA product to share things with your family and friends, you may need to create a QUBA ID that includes certain information which will be made public, including a nickname and avatar. QUBA may collect information related to those people, such as their names, email addresses, and phone numbers.

IV. How QUBA Protects Your Personal Data
QUBA attaches great importance to the security of your personal data and has adopted standard industry practices to protect your personal data and prevent it from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, modification, damage, or loss. To this end, QUBA takes the following measures:

A. We take reasonable and feasible measures to ensure that the personal data collected is minimal and relevant to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed. We retain your personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes stated in Policy and privacy notice of specific product or service, unless extending the retention period is required or permitted by law.

B. We use a range of technologies such as cryptographic technologies to ensure the confidentiality of data in transmission. We implement trusted protection mechanisms to protect data and data storage servers from attacks.

C. We deploy access control mechanisms to ensure that only authorized personnel can access your personal data. In addition, we control the number of authorized personnel and implement hierarchical permission management on them based on service requirements and personnel levels.

D. We strictly select business partners and service providers and incorporate personal data protection requirements into commercial contracts, audits, and appraisal activities.

E. We hold security and privacy protection training courses, tests, and publicity activities to raise employees’ personal data protection awareness.
QUBA is committed to protecting your personal data. Nevertheless, no security measure is perfect and no product, service, website, data transfer, computing system, or network connection is absolutely secure.
To cope with possible risks, such as personal data leakage, damage, and loss, QUBA has developed several mechanisms and control measures, clearly defined the rating standards of security incidents and vulnerabilities and corresponding processing procedures, and established a dedicated Security Advisory and Security Notice page. QUBA has established a dedicated emergency response team to implement security planning, loss reduction, analysis, locating, and remediation, and to perform tracking operations with related departments based on security incident handling regulations and requirements.
If any personal data incident occurs, QUBA will notify you, pursuant to relevant legal and regulatory requirements, of the basic information about the security incident and its possible impact, measures that QUBA has taken or will take, suggestions about active defense and risk mitigation, and remedial measures. The notification may take the form of an email, text message, push notification, etc. If it is difficult to notify data subjects one by one, we will take appropriate and effective measures to release a Security Notice. In addition, we will also report the handling status of personal data security incidents as required by supervisory authorities.
