Our Vision Better healthcare for all. Our Mission Advance medical technologies to make healthcare more accessible. Our Commitment Mindray is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of personal data that they maintain about our clients, employees and other individuals. As part of this commitment to privacy, Mindray regularly reviews its data protection practices to comply with applicable laws, industry standards and best practices. In preparation for May 25, 2018, when the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be enforced, and because of other territorial regulations impacting privacy, a GDPR compliance programme has been initiated to provide on a basis for, and a consistent approach to, data protection compliance across the Mindray Headquarters and European subsidiaries. All related subsidiaries are now in the process of implementing the requirements of GDPR, building on existing confidentiality and security processes and standards. The new GDPR compliance programme are extensive and cover multiple functional areas and aspects of our business, all in pursuit of accountability and transparency in how Mindray collects, process, protects and disposes of personal data. Despite that the present GDPR compliance program will finish in May 2018, Mindray’s continuous improvement in this area is a long lasting mission Mindray Corporate Practices in Privacy Protection 1. Privacy by Design Privacy by Design is such an approach applied to system/product engineering that promotes privacy and data protection compliance from the beginning of project and throughout the entire lifecycle. Taking a Privacy by Design approach is an essential tool in minimising privacy risks and building trust with our clients. Designing projects, processes, products or systems with privacy in mind at the outset can lead to the benefits that include: • Potential problems identified at an early stage, when addressing them will often be simpler and less costly; • Increased awareness of privacy and data protection across an organisation; • Organisations are more likely to meet their legal obligations and less likely to breach the laws; • Actions are less likely to be privacy intrusive and have a negative impact on individuals. From a more essential and specific perspective, this approach will help organisations comply with their obligations under legislation. For example, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from European Union clearly defines the requirements and obligations of company and organisation to take positive and effective measures of data protection. These measures can be classified into two types, organisational and technical. Organisations shall modify and optimise internal control processes based on GDPR. This encourages a cultural change to consider privacy and security controls and safeguards throughout the data lifecycle process. Specifically, these controls contains the data minimisation, access controls, retention, accessibility and other factors in the design phase. Since its foundation, Mindray has attached great importance to the privacy protection of its clients all along. A completely well-designed and stringent internal control system has established and been implementing for more than two decades. With the approaching effective date of GDPR, Mindray takes effective actions in advance to comply with the regulation. Specifically, Mindray develops a practical work plan to assess and improve current processes as shown below. • Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA): Assess current-state privacy controls throughout product development lifecycle, and identify compliance gaps and risks in data privacy; • Privacy-by-Design (PbD) Implementation Roadmap: Assist in the design and implementation of PbD framework at enterprise level, with enhancements to technology, policies, procedures, and operations; • PbD Recommendations Report: Continuously enhance and update privacy controls in respo
