1 How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information

After you read and agree to this Policy, Huawei will collect and process your personal information online and offline to provide you with high-quality services and information regarding activities. In the following sections, we will describe how we process your personal information, including the scenarios, types, methods, and purposes involved.

1.1 To help you sign up for activities and enjoy online and onsite activity experience, we will collect your personal information such as the name, gender, nationality, email address, phone number, organization/company, industry, and position via Huawei's official website, Huawei's Congress Information Management System (CIMS), event marketing platform (Events), and other channels after obtaining your consent. To comply with laws and regulations regarding security management for large-scale events, organizers must implement real-name registration and entry. As part of this process, we will require your valid identification information (one of the following identities: ID card number of the People's Republic of China, passport number, number of Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents, or number of Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents). Upon successful registration, an Event ID will be automatically generated for you, which will be displayed on your badge.

1.2 To make it easier for you to attend the Event, we will send you Event-related information (such as registration results, live streaming links, and reminders) to the email address you provided during registration.

1.3 If you need our assistance with your invitation letter for visa application, travel or accommodation arrangements, and special dietary needs, we will need to collect your valid ID information, phone number, flight information, and accommodation and dietary requirements.

1.4 To comply with laws and regulations regarding security management for large-scale events, organizers must implement real-name registration and entry. We will check your identity when you enter the venue.

• If you choose facial recognition for identity verification, the facial recognition device will collect your facial information onsite, which is then compared with the facial information linked to your ID card of the People's Republic of China or your badge. The facial recognition device will not store your facial information. If you choose to use your ID card of the People's Republic of China for identity verification, the facial recognition device will read the facial image on your ID card for comparison but will not store the image. If you choose to use your badge for identity verification, we will need to collect your facial image in advance and store the facial features for comparison. However, we will not store the original facial image. The stored facial features will be deleted within one working day after the Event ends. If you choose to use facial recognition for entry, you are advised to use your ID card. It is important to note that facial recognition is not obligatory, and manual verification is also an option. The facial recognition device can recognize only the ID card of the People's Republic of China. If you hold other documents (such as the passport, Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents, and Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents), please choose manual verification.
• If you choose manual verification and have submitted ID information during registration, our staff will ask you to enter your name, email address, ID number, or mobile number on a Portable Digital Assistant (PDA) device to verify your identity and permissions. If you have picked up your badge, our staff will use the PDA to scan your badge ID to check your personal data, including name, organization name, access permissions, and anonymized ID number.

1.5 When collecting your badge at the Event, you will need to enter your name, email address, mobile number, or ID number on the PDA to verify your identity.

1.6 Your badge displays the name and company name you have entered during registration, as well as your attendee ID. When you attend a keynote speech, summit, session, or roundtable, the on-site staff will use a PDA to scan your attendee ID to check whether you have been granted access to the event. To make it easier for you to enter the keynote venue, we have installed a smart sensing device at the entrance. Your badge has a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip. When you enter the venue, the device will automatically record your attendee ID based on the RFID. Such information will be used for entry management and attendance statistics. Please note that no location or movement track information will be collected during this process.

1.7 To make it easier for you to access the internet at the Event, we offer free Wi-Fi access that you can choose to use based on your needs. However, to provide this service, we need to collect personal information such as your name, company, phone number, IP address, MAC address, as well as login and logout times of your mobile device.

1.8 During the Event, we will arrange for staff members to take photos and videos of the Event inside the venue, as well as conduct interviews. Your personal information such as your image and voice may be used for recording and promoting the Event, including electronic records, video tapes, audio tapes, and photographs. These recordings will only be used for publicity purposes. If you do not wish to be captured on camera or do not want Huawei to use any recordings related to you, please contact us promptly.

1.9 When you experience our showcased products or services at the Event, we will collect necessary personal information to deliver the experience. Please refer to the privacy statement displayed at the booth for details.

1.10 To deliver a better attendance experience, we provide a dedicated mobile app (Huawei Connect) for the Event. During this process, we will collect your personal information. For details, please refer to the privacy statement of the app.

1.11 During the Event, we may invite you to log in to or register for mobile apps related to Huawei business, such as the Joint Definition Community, HUAWEI eKit, and Huawei eFly, to understand your requirements for Huawei products or services, helping us improve our products and services. These apps may need to process your personal information. Please refer to the privacy statement of the specific app for details. You can choose not to use these apps, which will not affect your participation at the Event.

1.12 For attendees who are unable to join us onsite, we will provide live streaming services. We will email the live streaming link and verification code to the address you used during registration. When you access live streaming sessions, we will collect the random ID generated by the live streaming platform for you, along with the session details and viewing time.

1.13 When you participate in other Event-related activities such as surveys and lucky draws, we will collect necessary personal information to enhance the experience. Please refer to the privacy statement of the relevant activities for more information.

We may also use your personal information for the following purposes:

• (a) Providing you with services or specific experiences.
• (b) Inviting you to participate in online or offline activities.
• (c) Making changes to your request or providing your requested information (e.g., marketing documents or white papers for products or services); and providing technical support.
• (d) Contacting you with your consent; sending you information about products and services that may interest you; inviting you to participate in Huawei activities (including promotional activities), market surveys, or satisfaction surveys; sending you marketing information. If you do not want to receive this type of information, you can unsubscribe at any time.
• (e) Providing you with personalized user experiences and content.
• (f) Conducting internal audits, data analysis, and research to improve our products and services.
• (g) Analyzing the efficiency of our business operations and evaluating the market share.
• (h) Complying with and enforcing applicable legal requirements, industry standards, or our policies.

Huawei may also collect and use non-personally identifiable information (non-PII). Non-PII refers to information that cannot be used to identify a particular individual. For example, we may collect summarized statistics such as website visits. Huawei collects this data to understand how users use our websites, products, and services to improve service quality and user experience. We reserve the right to collect, use, transfer, or disclose non-PII at our discretion. We will endeavor to isolate your personal information from non-PII and ensure that the two types of data are used separately. If personal information is mixed with non-PII, it will still be regarded as personal information during processing.

When processing your personal information, we comply with the requirements of applicable laws on an appropriate legal basis in the following scenarios:

• (1) Processing your personal information to fulfill a contract when responding to your service request.
• (2) Processing your personal information with your consent.
• (3) We may also process your personal information when necessary to comply with and perform applicable legal obligations, as well as to cooperate with government agencies, including but not limited to laws related to security and environment in the monitored areas of the Event venues.

3 How We Disclose Your Personal Information

Huawei will disclose your personal information only in the following circumstances:

• (1) We may disclose or transfer your personal information to Huawei subsidiaries or partners that provide services for the Event. Based on your request, Huawei may need to provide you with some services through subsidiaries or partners. Therefore, Huawei needs to share some of your personal information with the subsidiary or partner to provide you with corresponding services. For example, Huawei needs to entrust the exhibition service provider to process your personal information before printing and making the badge for you. If you need Huawei to arrange the itinerary, Huawei must share your personal information with hotel, air ticket, and vehicle service providers before booking on your behalf.
• (2) We may disclose your personal information to law enforcement or other government agencies as stipulated by applicable laws or legal procedures. If Huawei is involved in a reorganization, merger, or acquisition or involved in a bankruptcy or liquidation lawsuit in a given jurisdiction, your personal information may also be disclosed to the counterparty.
• (3) If you are a conference speaker, with your authorization, your name, industry, company, position, photos, and videos will appear at the conference site for the speech. Your name, industry, company, position, and photo will also be displayed online, such as the Event's official website, mobile app, and Huawei's official social media accounts, to facilitate the organizer's arrangement of activities during the Event and event promotion.
• (4) Conference recording videos and interview videos will appear in Event publicity such as on the Event's official website and Huawei official social media accounts. If you do not want Huawei to use recording materials related to you, please contact us promptly.

4 How We Access and Modify Your Personal Information

You shall ensure that all the personal information you submit is accurate. Huawei is committed to maintaining the accuracy and completeness of your personal information and keeping it up-to-date.

According to the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, you have the right to request access to and obtain copies, receive, object to the collection/use/disclosure, change, delete, destroy, reject, restrict the use and transfer of your information, file a complaint, or withdraw your consent at any time. If you want to exercise your rights, please contact us via our data protection officer (information provided at the end of this Policy). For security, we may ask you to put your request in writing. We may decline requests if we have reasonable grounds to believe that the requests are fraudulent or unfeasible or may jeopardize the privacy of others.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time when we process your personal information based on your consent. However, the withdrawal does not affect the legitimacy or effectiveness of how we process your personal information based on your consent before the revocation, nor does it affect any data processing based on a legal basis other than your consent.

5 How We Protect and Retain Your Personal Information

Huawei attaches great importance to the security of personal information. We use appropriate physical, organizational, and technical measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, modification, damage, or loss. For example, we use cryptographic technologies for data confidentiality, protection mechanisms to prevent attacks, and access control mechanisms to permit only authorized access to your personal information. We also provide training on security and privacy protection for employees to raise their awareness of personal information protection. We are committed to protecting your personal information; however, note that no security measure is completely infallible. In the event of an information breach, Huawei will handle the incident in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations and take all reasonable measures to mitigate or eliminate the impact of the incident.

We will retain your personal information within the period necessary to achieve the purposes stated in this Statement unless an extension of the retention period is required or permitted by law.

6 Third-Party Providers and Their Services

Third-party companies other than Huawei and its affiliates (hereinafter referred to as "third parties") will provide marketing or publicity activities at the exhibition area of this Event. You can choose whether to accept interactive activities, services, or products provided by third parties. Huawei will not proactively share your personal information with third parties. Third parties are independent processors of personal information, and their processing behavior and corresponding legal liabilities are irrelevant to Huawei. If a third party processes your personal information, refer to the privacy policy of the third party before submitting the personal information to the third party. We have no control over the privacy policies of third parties, which are not governed by this Policy.

7 How Your Personal Information Is Transferred Globally

The Event will be held in Shanghai, People's Republic of China. Therefore, the personal information you provide to Huawei will be stored on servers located in the People's Republic of China. Huawei may disclose or transfer your personal information with its subsidiaries or authorized third parties, which may process your information in countries/regions where they have a presence, or may access it from these countries/regions. These countries or regions may have different data protection laws. In such circumstances, Huawei will take measures to ensure that data is processed as required by this Policy and applicable laws. For example, when transferring your personal information from the EU to countries or regions that the EU has not acknowledged as having an adequate level of data protection, Huawei will take all legal mechanisms to secure your personal information, including signing standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, requesting for your consent on the transferring of your personal information, or implementing security measures like anonymizing personal information before the transfer.
