2. Information We Collect
The categories of personal information we may collect depend on the nature of your interaction with HarmonyAuto. We gather information through multiple channels including our website, direct communications, service inquiries, and any forms or systems you engage with on our platform.
Contact and Identification Data: When you submit a contact form, request information about our services, or otherwise communicate with us, we may collect your full name, email address, telephone number, company name, job title, and any additional details you voluntarily provide in the message body.
Technical and Usage Data: Our web servers automatically log certain technical information when you visit harmonyauto.lat. This includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, timestamps of access, and device identifiers. This data helps us understand site usage patterns and maintain service quality.
Communication Records: We retain records of correspondence including emails, contact form submissions, and any other direct communications between you and our team. These records help us provide continuity in our professional relationships and resolve any issues that may arise.
Service Engagement Data: If you engage us for professional services, we may collect additional information necessary for project delivery, including technical requirements, system specifications, project documentation, and billing-related details.

3. How We Collect Information
HarmonyAuto obtains personal information through a combination of direct submissions, automated technologies, and third-party sources, each of which is described below to provide a complete picture of our data collection practices.
Direct Collection: The primary method by which we collect information is through your voluntary submissions. This includes completing our online contact form, sending emails to our published contact addresses, calling our listed phone number, or providing information during consultations and service engagements. In each of these scenarios, the information you share is provided with your knowledge and consent.
Automated Technologies: As you navigate our website, certain data is collected automatically through standard web technologies. This includes server logs that capture each HTTP request, session identifiers that help maintain continuity during your visit, and analytics mechanisms that aggregate behavioral patterns. None of these automated methods are used to construct individual user profiles without your explicit consent.
Third-Party Sources: On occasion, we may receive information about you from publicly available business directories, professional networking platforms, or referral partners. We only accept such information when it has been lawfully obtained and is relevant to our legitimate business purposes. Any third-party sourced data is subject to the same protections and handling standards as information you provide directly to us.
4. Use of Personal Information
HarmonyAuto uses the personal information we collect for a defined set of purposes, each rooted in our legitimate business operations, contractual obligations, or legal requirements. We do not use your information in ways that are incompatible with the purposes disclosed at the point of collection.
Our primary uses of personal information include responding to your inquiries and service requests, delivering the professional technology services you have engaged us to perform, maintaining and improving the functionality and security of our website, sending administrative communications related to your account or ongoing projects, complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, and protecting the rights, property, and safety of HarmonyAuto, our clients, and the public at large.
We may also use aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized data for analytical purposes including trend analysis, service development, and internal business planning. Such aggregated data does not identify any individual and is not considered personal information under this policy. We maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that any derived datasets cannot be reverse-engineered to reveal individual identities.
6. Data Retention Policies
HarmonyAuto retains personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting obligations. Our retention periods are determined by reference to the nature and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for processing, and whether those purposes can be achieved through alternative means.
Contact form submissions and correspondence records are typically retained for a period of two years following the conclusion of the relevant communication thread, unless a longer retention period is required for legal or contractual reasons. Technical log data and analytics records are retained for a rolling twelve-month window, after which they are systematically purged from our systems. Service engagement records are maintained for the duration of the client relationship and for a period of five years thereafter to satisfy professional standards and legal obligations.
When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely destroy or permanently de-identify the data. These disposal processes are documented and audited to ensure that no recoverable copies remain in our systems, backups, or archives beyond the applicable retention period.
7. Security Safeguards
HarmonyAuto implements and maintains a comprehensive suite of technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect personal information against accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security program is informed by industry best practices and is subject to continuous review and improvement.
Our technical safeguards include Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers, firewalls and intrusion detection systems that monitor for malicious activity, access control mechanisms that restrict data access to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis, regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing conducted by qualified security professionals, and secure development practices that incorporate security review throughout the software development lifecycle.
Our administrative safeguards encompass employee training on data protection responsibilities, policies and procedures governing the handling of personal information, confidentiality agreements with all personnel and contractors, and incident response protocols that ensure swift action in the event of a security event. We also maintain physical security controls including access-restricted facilities, surveillance systems, and secure disposal procedures for physical records.
8. International Data Transfers
As a globally engaged enterprise operating from the Peoples Republic of China, HarmonyAuto may transfer, store, and process personal information on servers located in jurisdictions outside your country of residence. These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from those in your home country.
When we transfer personal information across international borders, we implement appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable legal requirements. These safeguards may include standard contractual clauses approved by relevant regulatory authorities, verification that the recipient jurisdiction provides an adequate level of data protection, and contractual commitments from any third-party processors to maintain equivalent standards of protection. We assess each transfer on a case-by-case basis and document the legal mechanism that supports it.
By submitting your personal information to HarmonyAuto, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred, stored, and processed in China and other countries where our service providers maintain operations. We remain responsible for the protection of your personal information regardless of where it is processed, and we ensure that all transfers comply with the commitments set forth in this Privacy Policy.

This typically applies to our service engagement relationships and the fulfillment of project deliverables.

Under California law, you may have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you over the preceding twelve months, the categories of sources from which that information was collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information. You may also have the right to request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.

Our breach response protocol includes immediate containment measures to prevent further unauthorized access, a thorough investigation led by qualified security personnel to determine the scope and cause of the incident, an assessment of the potential impact on affected individuals, and notification to relevant supervisory authorities within the timeframes mandated by applicable law. Where a breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will communicate the nature of the breach to affected individuals without undue delay.
We maintain comprehensive documentation of all security incidents, including the facts surrounding the event, its effects, and the remedial actions taken. This documentation is retained for audit and compliance purposes and is made available to supervisory authorities upon request.
