On August 7, Reuters reported that Didi is in talks with Westone regarding the handling of its data management and monitoring activities.
According to sources, under the guidance of domestic regulatory agencies, Westone will be able to access Didi’s servers nationwide to track its data collection, usage, and transmission.
Earlier, Bloomberg reported that Didi was considering handing over the management of its data to a private third party as part of its efforts to resolve regulatory investigations, but did not disclose the name of the company. It now appears that this company is in fact Westone.
Established in 1998, Westone is a subsidiary of China Electronics Technology Network Information Security Co., Ltd. (CETC) and a capital operation and important industrial platform for CETC and China Electronics Technology Group Corporation in the field of network information security.
It has long provided professional network information security products and services to customers such as the Party and government, the military, and large state-owned enterprises.
