Earlier this week, Xiaomi held its Security and Privacy Awareness meeting at the company’s Science and Technology Park. During this conference, it highlighted its information security and privacy protection practices to its employees, industry executives, industry experts, and the public.
Furthermore, the Chinese tech giant also distributed white papers on security and privacy along with a transparency report about data security at the meeting. Notably, this is also the second Xiaomi Security and Privacy Month Awareness that the company has held. For 2021, the company had a theme of “Security is our shared responsibility. Always think before you act.” The meeting from the brand is to showcase its efforts in pursuing industry leading standards on security and privacy to reinforce its commitment to transparency (Via YahooFinance).
Cui Baoqiu, the company’s Vice President and Chairman of the Security and Privacy Committee stated that “As a leading Android smartphone manufacturer, we carry a great responsibility. We are committed to letting consumers know how their personal information is collected, used, and protected. We are proud to say that Xiaomi upholds world-class standards on security, privacy, and transparency.”
For those unaware, the smartphone maker first established its Security and Privacy Committee back in 2014. In 2016, the firm also became the first Chinese brand to receive certification from TrustArc. Similarly, it had also adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union compliance assessment in 2018. Xiaomi also published its first version of the MIUI security and privacy white paper.
