5. Privacy Protect Measures Utilized During Elimination of Viruses



5.1 User Behavior Statistics



5.1.1 To improve the performance of our product and services, when a user installs or uninstalls the software through the add/remove function within the control panel feature on the Windows operating system, such events shall be reported to the Baidu security center server ("Server"). Details will be presented within a page of the Server which will then automatically calculate how many incidents have occurred based on the total number of page visits.



5.2 Security Levels Associated with Cloud Files



5.1.2 This software uses cloud security technology for the purpose of collecting records known as "fingerprints" of files on the user's computer and sending associated information to the Server for analysis for the purpose of identifying the files' security levels. According to the general international standard algorithm, of which the most frequently used are MD5, SHA1, etc., a file's fingerprint provides unique identity information, which commonly is comprised of dozens of bytes of numbers and letters. The default setting of the cloud security technology is to only transfer the file fingerprint and not the content of the file. Once the user begins participating in the "Baidu Cloud Security Project," the software will also, upon demand, upload the sample of program files, which contains only the program files and not the private information of the user. You can refer to the "Baidu Cloud Security Project" section below for more details.



5.3 Baidu Cloud Security Project



5.3.1 If a user chooses to join the "Baidu Cloud Security Project," whenever the software detects the presence of any suspicious program having virus-like features or engaging in specific behaviors in a user's computer, the software will send the file fingerprint to the Baidu Security Cloud Inquiry server to check the security level of the file, and upload the program file not already recorded within the server. This upload will only occur when the file contains suspicious virus-like features or engages in suspicious behavior, and the server has no existing samples of the program file on record. Files which do not contain those attributes will not be uploaded. The data and/or files uploaded contain no personal information of users and will only be used for the purpose of analyzing viruses. Users themselves can close the relevant tabs within the Settings window of the software, including the option to "join Baidu's Cloud Security Project."



5.4 Error Log Reporting



5.4.1 An error log will be generated automatically whenever there is an unexpected error with the software or if the software crashes. The software will report the error log to Baidu's security center whenever necessary for the purpose of determining the reason(s) for the error or crash and improving product quality. Whenever an error log is reported, the software will first ask for the user's permission for the transmission of the report. If the user approves of such transmission, the error log will be sent to Baidu's security center. If the user does not consent to such transmission, the error log will not be reported. The error log enables Baidu to maintain a record of all software errors and crashes; and only contains the specific error message provided by the program. It does not include any personal information of the user.



5.5 Information Security



5.5.1 Baidu's security center has developed strict rules governing the processing of information uploaded by users, and security policies which prevent the collection of user personal information. These rules and policies guarantee the security of information uploaded by users and that the information will not be exploited or abused. Baidu will not provide any third party with files and/or data uploaded by users, unless the user provides express consent or such transmission is explicitly stipulated by local laws and regulations.



5.6 Principles Governing Privacy Protection



5.6.1 Baidu has formulated the following three privacy protection principles with respect to handling potential problems involving user privacy and data:



Use data collected to provide valuable products and services, while concurrently taking steps to prevent the inappropriate exploitation of information concerning user behaviors and preferences



Develop products which conform to privacy standards and practice



Protect user information to the fullest extent possible and as stipulated by local laws and regulations
