Due to the global nature of our business, for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, we may transfer Personal Data to parties located in other countries that may have a different data protection regime than is found. Personal Data collected by HuiEn Textile may be transferred to parties which may be located overseas, such as to other HuiEn Textile branches; HuiEn Textile secure data centers; HuiEn Textile subsidiaries, affiliates, reinsurers, lawyers, auditors, service providers and business partners; governmental or regulatory authorities; providers of risk intelligence for the purpose of customer due diligence or anti-money laundering screening, in order to carry out the purposes, or directly related purposes, for which the Personal Data was collected.
