"Transfer data to the U.S."? Didi response: All data stored in China
Jul.4,2021

Previous rumors claimed that Didi had sent out China's road information and user data to the United States during its recent IPO process. These rumors intensified, and some netizens even said Didi was guilty of treason and espionage.

On July 3, Didi's vice president Li Min responded that some people were maliciously rumoring that Didi transferred its data to the U.S. during its listing. Like many Chinese companies listed overseas, Didi's domestic users' data is stored in domestic servers. It is impossible to hand over the data to the United States. In addition, although the relevant malicious rumor mongers have taken the initiative to delete the post, Didi is determined to sue to defend its rights.

The rumors originated on July 2. China's cyberspace agency announced that to prevent national data security risks, to maintain national security, to protect the public interest, it had launched an investigation into Didi and stop its new user registration during the review period. The investigation started just two days after the company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

In response to the cybersecurity review office's investigation, Didi responded that it would actively cooperate with the cybersecurity review. During the review period, under the supervision and guidance of relevant departments, Didi will comprehensively sort out and investigate network security risks and continuously improve its network security system and technical capabilities.
