You may delete some of your personal information in the manner specified in "(i) Access to your personal information".
After you delete some of your information, we will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless an extension of the retention period is required or permitted by law.

Each business function requires some basic personal information to be completed. In addition, you may give or withdraw your consent for the collection and use of additional personal information in the "Settings" section or by contacting our platform customer service.
When you withdraw your consent, we will no longer process the corresponding personal information. However, your decision to withdraw your consent will not affect the processing of personal information previously carried out based on your authorization.
If you need to cancel your account, you can contact our platform customer service by clicking on the Contact Customer Service button in the upper right corner of the home page and personal center. After verifying the user's identity, customer service will release the user's cell phone and email address to achieve the effect of cancellation.
Once your personal account in the platform is cancelled, we will delete or anonymize your information and account information, which cannot be restored. Please think well before you cancel your account as this will prevent you from using the full range of GEARSTONE App products or services, and from accessing and retrieving historical information and records.
We may make decisions based solely on automated non-human decision-making mechanisms in some business functions, including information systems and algorithms. If these decisions significantly affect your legitimate rights and interests, you have the right to request an explanation from us, and we will provide a method of appeal without infringing on our platform's trade secrets or other users' rights and interests, or the public interest.
For security purposes, you may need to provide a written request or otherwise prove your identity. We may ask you to verify your identity first before processing your request.
We will respond within 15 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may also initiate a complaint through our platform customer service.
In principle, we do not charge for your reasonable requests, but for repeated requests that exceed reasonable limits, we will charge a cost fee as appropriate. We may reject requests that are unnecessarily repetitive, require excessive technical means (for example, requiring the development of new systems or fundamental changes to current practices), pose a risk to the legal rights of others, or are highly impractical.
In the following cases, we will not be able to respond to your request in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations:
1) if it is related to national security or national defense security;
2) if it is related to public safety, public health, or significant public interest;
3) if it is related to crime investigation, prosecution, trial, and enforcement of judgments;
4) if there is sufficient evidence of subjective malice or abuse of rights by the subject of personal information;
5) if responding to your request would result in your or other individuals or organizations to suffer serious damage to their legitimate rights and interests;
6) involving commercial secrets.
Personal information collected and generated in our operations in the Local is stored in the territory of China, except in the following cases:
