螞蟻金服遵守消費者數據隱私保護原則

Sir, In response to your report “Japanese banks aim to introduce digital currency” (September 27): Ant Financial, Alipay’s parent company, would like to provide readers with some clarifications on our international business and operations in Japan.

您好，關於您的報道《日本銀行擬推出“J幣”對抗支付寶》，支付寶(Alipay)母公司螞蟻金服(Ant Financial)希望就我們的國際業務和在日本提供的服務對讀者進行一些澄清。

Today, Alipay serves Chinese tourists who travel to Japan and use the Alipay app to pay for goods and services. Alipay is a mobile payment and lifestyle application used by millions of Chinese individuals. When they travel abroad, including trips to Japan, they are able to use the same convenient application to pay for goods and services purchased abroad. Alipay partners with many Japanese acquirers and merchants to enable its customers to use the Alipay app to complete purchases in Japan. This has led to increased sales by Japanese merchants to Chinese consumers. We do not yet offer a local mobile payment product for local Japanese. If we were to offer a local mobile wallet in Japan, it would abide by all local data privacy and protection rules.

現在支付寶爲前往日本並使用支付寶爲產品和服務付費的中國遊客服務。支付寶是數百萬中國人使用的移動支付和生活服務應用。當他們出國旅行，包括前往日本，他們可以使用支付寶同樣便利地爲在國外購買產品和服務付費。支付寶與許多日本收單機構和商家建立合作關係，讓消費者可以使用支付寶在日本購物。這使日本商家對中國消費者的銷售額上升。目前我們還沒有爲日本當地人提供本地移動支付產品。如果我們要在日本推出一款本地移動錢包，這款應用將遵守所有當地數據隱私和保護規則。

Indeed, Ant Financial itself and through its partnerships adheres to consumer data and privacy protection rules around the world. Customer trust has been the centrepiece of our company’s philosophy and operations since our inception.

事實上，螞蟻金服自身，以及在合作關係中，都遵守世界各地的消費者數據和隱私保護規則。自成立以來，客戶的信任一直是我們公司理念和業務的核心。
