Industry observers widely regard this milestone as a significant step forward in ZTE's compliance and data security journey, positioning the company to substantially boost international recognition of its product and security capabilities.

ePrivacy, a leading authority in European privacy certification, is renowned for its rigorous and transparent audit processes. Its evaluation not only covers legal requirements such as data processing legitimacy and data minimization, but also deeply examines technical implementations in encryption, access control, and process transparency, ensuring products operate securely and stably under strict compliance frameworks.

By achieving this certification, ZTE has strengthened its legal compliance while further enhancing security capabilities in critical technical dimensions such as user authorization mechanisms, data encryption, and access control. This provides stronger regulatory and technical assurance for international business expansion. ZTE will continue to uphold compliance, drive product upgrades through technological innovation, and enhance data security and privacy protection to deliver safer and more trustworthy digital experiences for global users.

In the context of accelerating global digitalization, privacy protection and data security have become core requirements for technology companies worldwide. The rigorous ePrivacyseal Global certification is closely aligned with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance requirements, covering key aspects of data collection, processing, and storage, and setting strict requirements for both technical and management capabilities. It has become an important compliance benchmark for international enterprises entering the European market.
