183、rity framework for information protection.We have developed the Autohome User Agreement and the Autohome Privacy Policy,which clearly outline the types and specific details of users personal information collected at each stage of engagement,as well as how users personal information is collected,util
184、ized,shared,transferred,disclosed,stored,deleted,and transmitted.They underscore the importance of obtaining users informed consent,ensuring that personal data is utilized appropriately and securely.The Company has integrated privacy protection into its overall compliance and risk management framewo
185、rk.We engage third-party organizations at least once annually to conduct compliance testing and generate a report on our privacy policy.This allows us to promptly implement corrective measures for any identified issues to maintain policy rigor and effectiveness.Additionally,any modifications to our
186、privacy policy in our daily business operations shall undergo thorough reviews by responsible internal departments and external legal experts to ensure compliance while safeguarding user rights.User-centric data protection is at the core of our approach.We prioritize the rights of users as data subj
187、ects and provide clear guidance on how to access,modify,delete,cancel accounts,change or revoke authorization,and withdraw consent to the collection of personal information.In Autohome Privacy Policy,we publish effective methods and procedures for inquiring,correcting,revoking consent,and deleting a

191、ing these measures with the principle of data minimization.After obtaining users authorization,the Company collects and lawfully utilizes their personal information within the framework of the privacy policy while protecting users personal information during service provision.Personal data is encryp
192、ted or stored anonymously,with strict access control mechanisms on data access rights and the Multi-Factor Authentication(MFA)technology to prevent data breaches and ensure the confidentiality,fairness,effectiveness,and recoverability of the data processing system and services.Users can directly rev
193、iew the details of the collected personal information in the app and request actions such as export,correction,or deletion from the Company.In managing the engagement of third parties for processing users personal information and the sharing of personal information with third parties during app serv
194、ices and operations,the Company has identified security and privacy risks across various scenarios.Users are informed of such instances through clear disclosures such as informing users,displaying third-party logos,and signing the Data Processing Agreement and the Data Sharing Agreement with third p
195、arties.These agreements clarify responsibilities in privacy protection for both parties and improve the management of third-party involvement.When users opt to close their accounts,the system will completely delete all their personal information.The Company is comprehensively enhancing the applicati
196、on of innovative technologies in encrypting user information and providing support for the upgrade of encryption technology.While ensuring the encryption of sensitive data,we have introduced database encryption middleware,integrating new encryption tools into the existing API framework.This improved
197、 encryption efficiency,stability,and reliability,while laying the foundation for future encryption algorithm upgrades.The encryption tools are equipped with advanced encryption algorithm upgrading functions,significantly enhancing the stability and durability of user information encryption.This ensu
198、res robust user privacy protection.Moreover,we leveraged the open-source engine OpenSCA for vulnerability detection.Through software composition analysis,dependency analysis,feature analysis,reference identification,and compliance analysis,we thoroughly examine software components for potential secu
199、rity vulnerabilities and open-source license risks.This approach ensures the secure integration of open-source components in applications.The Company places significant emphasis on information security and privacy protection training,offering at least two training sessions annually for all employees
200、,along with specialized training for key personnel.A hybrid learning approach is adopted,combining online and offline methods.Internally,the Company utilizes the The Home of Learning learning platform to provide security awareness courses covering cybersecurity awareness,legal and regulatory complia
