The entrusted parties process information in accordance with the agreement and cannot go beyond those parameters, or engage sub-processors without the consent of the personal information processor. Any cross-border transfer requires an assessment, certification, contract, or compliance with other laws and regulations. Separate disclosure to and consent from the individual is required.<ref>[https://www.trulioo.com/blog/china-data-protection-law China's Data Protection Law, Trulioo]</ref>

# take countermeasures against any country or region that places prohibitive, restrictive, or discriminatory measures against China.<ref>[https://www.trulioo.com/blog/china-data-protection-law China's Data Protection Law, Trulioo]</ref>
