4 How Teplore protects and retains your personal data
Teplore values the security of personal data and strictly adheres to the principles of "storage limitation," "minimization," and "accuracy" in personal information protection. We employ appropriate physical, administrative and technical safeguards to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, use, modification, damage or loss. For example, we use encryption technology to ensure data confidentiality, implement protective mechanisms to prevent data from malicious attacks, and deploy access control mechanisms to ensure that only authorized personnel can access personal data. We make every effort to protect your personal data. However, please note that no data transmitted over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we take appropriate measures to protect your personal information, Teplore cannot guarantee the security of the information you provide to us or obtain from our website. Therefore, when using our website, you do so at your own risk. For information on how to report security issues, matters, or potential incidents to Teplore and the Teplore Information Security Team, please feel free to contact us at [info@teplore.com] at any time. In the event of a personal data security incident, we will promptly notify you and report to the regulatory authorities in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations.
We will retain your personal data for the shortest period necessary to achieve the purposes stated in this Policy. Once the relevant business is completed, we will promptly delete your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, unless there is a legal requirement or permission to extend the retention period. The retention period may vary based on different scenarios, products, and services. The criteria we use to determine the retention period include the time required to fulfill the purpose of the business, including providing products and services, maintaining relevant transaction and business records, managing and improving product and service performance and quality, ensuring the security of systems, products, and services, safeguarding public interests, responding to potential user queries or complaints, and identifying issues. We also consider whether users agree to a longer retention period and whether there are any special requirements for data retention under laws or contracts.
5 How Teplore processes the personal data of children
Our products, websites, and services are primarily intended for adults, and we generally do not actively collect personal data from individuals under the age of 14. In reality, it can be challenging for us to accurately determine the real age of users. If we discover that personal data of an individual under the age of 14 has been collected inadvertently, we will make every effort to delete the relevant data as soon as possible. Alternatively, the guardian of the minor can contact us by sending an email to [info@teplore.com] to request the deletion of the data.

7 How your personal data is transferred globally
As a global company, Teplore may share your personal information within the Teplore organization (including subsidiaries, affiliates, and parent company) or with our suppliers and business partners to the extent permitted by law. We may also transfer your information to other countries or regions where we conduct business. In addition, as we may not have a data storage center in your country, your personal data may also be transferred to a data center outside your country for storage. In such cases, Teplore will take measures to ensure that the data we collect is processed in accordance with this Policy and applicable laws. This includes employing various legal mechanisms, such as implementing standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or obtaining the consent for the cross-border transfer of personal data, or implementing security measures such as data anonymization before cross-border data transfer, when personal data of data subjects located in the European Union is transferred to countries or regions that do not provide an equivalent level of data protection recognized by the European Union.
