Vice president of Millet: Overseas user data has started to transfer to foreign servers

Beijing time, October 23, according to Bloomberg News, vice president of Millet (Hugo Barra), said in Wednesday at Google +, early this year, Millet began to transfer data from overseas users to Amazon in the United States, California and Singapore hosted servers. All purchases by foreign users are expected to be removed from their servers in Beijing by the end of this month, and data transfers for personal data, text messages and other services should be completed by the end of this year, Barak said. Information on Chinese users will remain on the Beijing server. The data transfer will make the millet service faster and more reliable, while maintaining high privacy standards and complying with local data protection regulations, says Barak. Compliance with local data protection rules is vital to the work of the country, and his mission is to get users outside China to buy millet products. China currently accounts for 97% of millet sales. Our primary objective in transferring data to multinational servers is to improve our service performance for global rice noodles, said Barak, which is our top priority and we will expand to new markets in the coming years. Taiwan and India are the two most promising markets for millet, but local regulators are wary of millet, which may pose a threat to cyber security. F, a security company, said in August this year that millet equipment collects personal data and transmits it to the servers in Beijing. (Compiling/Xiao Yu)
