Privacy & cyber orientation

  1. Map personal information processing under PIPL (purpose, necessity, consent vs other bases).
  2. Classify important data / CII where cybersecurity rules may apply.
  3. Design cross-border transfer mechanisms (standard contract, certification, or security assessment).
  4. Build incident response: detection, notification, and regulator engagement.
  5. Platform/app compliance: privacy policy, SDK audits, and minor-protection rules.
