This information is provided voluntarily and is used solely to respond to your inquiry.

Technical and Usage Data — When you visit our website, our servers automatically record certain information, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, timestamps, and diagnostic data. This information is collected through standard web server logs and is used for security monitoring, performance optimization, and aggregated analytics.

3. How We Use Information

We process your personal data for the following purposes, each grounded in a specific lawful basis as described in Section 4:

Service Delivery — To provide, maintain, and improve our computer systems design services; to communicate with you about projects, proposals, and ongoing engagements; and to fulfill our contractual commitments.

We will never use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. We do not sell your personal information.

4. Legal Basis Under GDPR

For individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or jurisdictions with similar data protection frameworks, our processing of personal data is based on the following legal grounds:

• Contractual Necessity — Processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into one, such as preparing a service proposal or responding to an engagement inquiry.
• Legitimate Interests — Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business, securing our systems, and communicating with clients and prospects — provided those interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
• Legal Obligation — Processing is necessary for compliance with applicable laws, including tax regulations, corporate record-keeping requirements, and responses to binding legal requests.
• Consent — Where required by law, we will obtain your explicit consent before processing your data for specific purposes. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us; such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to withdrawal.

5. Information Sharing

We share your personal data only under the following limited circumstances, and always subject to appropriate safeguards:

Service Providers — We may engage trusted third-party vendors to perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, email delivery, and analytics. These providers are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions and to implement security measures at least as protective as those described in this policy.

Legal and Regulatory Disclosures — We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other binding legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

Business Transfers — In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, personal data held by us may be among the assets transferred. We will notify you before your data becomes subject to a materially different privacy policy.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses essential cookies and similar technologies to ensure proper functionality and to analyze aggregated usage patterns. Specifically:

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the personal data we process against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit using industry-standard TLS protocols
• Access controls that limit data access to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability management
• Secure development practices integrated into our software engineering lifecycle
• Incident response procedures designed to detect, contain, and remediate security events promptly

While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of electronic storage or transmission is absolutely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never defeat our security measures. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority as required by applicable law.

8. Your Rights Under the CCPA

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you specific rights regarding your personal information. Subject to verification of your identity and applicable exceptions, you have the right to:

• Right to Know — Request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the business purpose for collection, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
• Right to Delete — Request deletion of your personal information that we have collected and retained, subject to certain legal exceptions that permit us to retain data for specific purposes.
• Right to Correct — Request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
• Right to Non-Discrimination — You will not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of your CCPA rights. We do not charge different prices, provide a different quality of service, or penalize you for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided in Section 13. We will respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days as required by law, and we may request additional information to verify your identity before processing your request.

In the preceding twelve months, we have not sold any personal information as defined under the CCPA, nor have we used or disclosed sensitive personal information for purposes other than those specified in the law.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal data without verifiable parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our systems. If you believe that a child under your supervision has provided us with personal data, please contact us promptly so that we may take appropriate action.

10. International Data Transfers

Hao Dings Technology Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Yixing, Jiangsu, China, and our primary data processing activities occur within the People’s Republic of China. However, as we serve clients across multiple jurisdictions, your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, or accessed from countries outside your country of residence — including countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

When we transfer personal data across international borders, we implement appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable law. These safeguards may include standard contractual clauses approved by relevant data protection authorities, adequacy decisions, or binding corporate rules. By using our services, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this policy.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services before providing them with your personal information.

We may also integrate third-party services into our operations — such as cloud hosting platforms, email delivery services, and analytics providers — that process data on our behalf. We evaluate these providers carefully and contractually require them to adhere to data protection standards consistent with this policy and applicable law.
