Chinese ride-hailing app nearing privacy compliance

The South China Morning Post reports Chinese ride-hailing company Didi Chuxing is completing privacy compliance measures to get its mobile applications restored on China's app stores. The company's 26 apps were removed July 2021 as a probe into potential privacy and cybersecurity violations was opened by the Cyberspace Administration of China. Sources with knowledge of Didi's situation said the compliance overhaul relates to "data compliance, especially to observe multiple new rules on privacy protection and app user consent."
