5. Who We Share Information With

6. International Data Transfers
ASG operates from Hong Kong and Mainland China and serves clients globally. By engaging us, you understand and agree that your data may be processed in jurisdictions outside your country.

7. Cookies & Similar Technologies
Our website uses a minimal set of cookies:
- Essential cookies — required for site functionality, session management and login.
- Performance cookies — aggregated analytics so we can improve the site (anonymized IPs).
You can disable cookies in your browser at any time; some features (like account login) may not work without them. We do not use cross-site tracking pixels for advertising.
8. How Long We Keep Your Data
