Privacy Policy

Huaju (Guangzhou) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. ("Huaju Biotechnology," "Huaju," "we," "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how it is collected, how and why we use it, who we share it with, how we protect it, how long we keep it, how we handle cross-border transfers, and the rights you have. It is intended to align with the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China (PIPL) and other applicable laws.

What Personal Information We Collect

Personal information means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. It does not include anonymized data where the identity has been irreversibly removed.

We may collect, use, process, store, and transfer the following categories of personal information:

  • Identity information, including your name, the organization you work for, and your title or position
  • Contact information, including your email address, postal address, and telephone number
  • Inquiry information, including the subject you select and the contents of any message you send us
  • Technical information, including your browser type, device information, IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, and pages viewed during your visit to our website
  • Identification and background information provided by you or collected as part of our business acceptance processes
  • Any other information you choose to provide to us

Sensitive Personal Information

We do not seek to collect sensitive personal information (such as financial accounts, health, or biometric data) through this website. Where we need to process sensitive personal information, we will do so only with your separate, explicit consent as required under PIPL, and only to the extent necessary for that purpose.

How Your Personal Information Is Collected

  • We collect information directly from you when you submit our contact form or otherwise interact with us
  • We automatically collect limited technical information when you visit our website, through cookies and similar technologies
  • We may collect information while monitoring communications sent to and from us, including email
  • We may obtain information from publicly available sources to keep the contact details we already hold accurate and up to date

How and Why We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to:

  • Respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about partnerships, clinical collaboration, careers, or media requests
  • Maintain a record of our correspondence
  • Provide, operate, and improve our website, including monitoring its use
  • Manage and administer our relationship with you
  • Send you business-related updates, publications, and event details where you have agreed to receive them
  • Fulfill our legal, regulatory, and risk-management obligations

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.

If we use cookies or similar technology to understand whether you open our communications or visit our website after clicking a link, we will do so only where you have consented and where required will provide a cookie notice.

Legal Basis and Consent

Under PIPL, we process your personal information on the following bases:

  • Your consent, which you provide when you knowingly submit the contact form or otherwise choose to provide information, and separate consent where we process sensitive information or transfer data across borders
  • As necessary to respond to your request or to perform a contract with you
  • To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details below. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal, and we may continue to process your information where required or permitted by law. Withdrawing consent may mean we are unable to respond to your inquiry or provide certain services.

Sharing and Disclosure

We share personal information only with trusted third parties to the extent necessary, including:

  • Service providers who help us operate this website and respond to inquiries, such as hosting, email, and IT providers
  • Our professional advisers and auditors

We may disclose your personal information where required by law, regulation, or valid legal process. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you first.

If we reorganize or transfer all or part of our business in the future, your personal information may be transferred to a successor entity, in which case we will require that it continue to be protected in accordance with this policy.

We do not make personal information commercially available to any third party except with your prior consent. If you interact with us through social media platforms (for example, LinkedIn, WeChat, or Weibo), you should review those platforms' own privacy policies, as their handling of your information is outside our control.

Cross-Border Transfers

To operate our business we may transfer your personal information to recipients located outside the jurisdiction in which it was collected. The level of legal protection in other countries may differ from that in China.

Where we transfer personal information across borders, we will comply with PIPL's requirements, which may include obtaining your separate consent, conducting a personal information protection impact assessment, and putting in place an approved transfer mechanism such as the China Standard Contract for cross-border transfers, security assessment by the Cyberspace Administration of China, or certification.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to your inquiry and meeting our legal, accounting, and record-keeping obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

Data Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or misuse, and we limit access to those who have a business need to know. We have procedures to handle suspected personal information breaches and will notify affected individuals and the relevant regulator where we are legally required to do so. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information; to restrict or object to its processing; to withdraw consent; to request a copy of the information we hold about you and have it transferred to another organization; and to obtain an explanation of our processing rules. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the period required by law.
