### 4. How We Store and Protect Your Personal Information Security
#### (1) Retention Period
Except as otherwise required by laws, regulations, or regulatory authorities, we will only store your personal information for the shortest period necessary to achieve the purposes described in this policy. Our criteria for determining this period include:
1. Completing transactions related to you, maintaining corresponding transaction and business records, and responding to your potential inquiries or complaints;

3. Whether you have consented to a longer retention period;
4. Whether there are other special agreements regarding the retention period;
5. The retention period stipulated by laws, regulations, or regulatory authorities.
After your personal information exceeds the retention period, weldZIP will delete or anonymize it in accordance with applicable laws (if you are a minor, weldZIP will process your personal information in accordance with relevant laws and regulations).

If we terminate our services or operations, we will promptly stop collecting your personal information, notify you in advance as required by relevant laws and regulations, and delete or anonymize your personal information after the purposes described in this policy are fulfilled or the legally required retention period expires, unless otherwise stipulated by laws, regulations, or regulatory authorities.

In the above cases, we will ensure that your personal information is adequately protected in accordance with this policy and national laws and regulations.
#### (3) Security Measures
We take personal information security very seriously and have established a dedicated security team. We take all reasonable and feasible measures to protect your personal information:
1. **Data Security Technical Measures**:
- We adopt industry-standard security measures, including establishing reasonable institutional norms and security technologies, to prevent unauthorized access, use, or modification of your personal information and to avoid data damage or loss.
- Our network services employ various encryption technologies. For example, in certain services, we use encryption technologies (e.g., SSL) to protect your personal information, encrypt and store it, and isolate it using isolation technologies.
- When using personal information, such as displaying or associating it, we apply multiple data anonymization techniques to enhance security.
- We implement strict data access controls and multi-factor authentication to protect personal information and prevent misuse.
2. **Other Security Measures to Protect Personal Information**:
- We manage and regulate the storage and use of personal information through data classification and grading systems, data security management standards, and data security development standards.
- We enforce comprehensive security controls through confidentiality agreements for personnel handling personal information, as well as monitoring and auditing mechanisms.
- We conduct security and privacy protection training programs to enhance employees' awareness of the importance of protecting personal information and their security consciousness.
- We restrict access to your personal information to only those employees and partners of ours and our affiliates who need to know it. We have established strict access controls and monitoring mechanisms and require all personnel who may access your personal information to fulfill corresponding confidentiality obligations. Failure to fulfill these obligations may result in legal liability or termination of cooperation with us.
3. **Internet Security Risks**:
- The internet is not an absolutely secure environment, and communication methods such as email, instant messaging, social software, or other service software cannot guarantee complete encryption. We recommend that you use complex passwords and take precautions to protect your personal information when using such tools.
4. **Our Commitment**:
- We will make every effort to ensure the security of any personal information you send to us. If our physical, technical, or administrative safeguards are breached, resulting in unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of personal information and causing harm to your legitimate rights and interests, we will bear corresponding legal responsibilities.

In the unfortunate event of a personal information security incident, we will promptly notify you in accordance with legal requirements, providing:
- The basic details and potential impact of the incident;
- The measures we have taken or will take to address it;
- Recommendations for you to prevent and mitigate risks;
- Remedial measures for you.
We will inform you of the incident via email, letter, SMS, phone, or push notification. If it is difficult to notify each individual personally, we will issue a public notice in a reasonable and effective manner. Additionally, we will proactively report the handling of the incident to regulatory authorities as required.
Please understand that, due to technological limitations and the constraints of risk prevention, even though we have strengthened security measures as much as possible, we cannot guarantee 100% security of personal information at all times. You should be aware that the systems and communication networks you use to access weldZIP services may encounter issues beyond our control.
