Huawei has announced that due to “organizational changes” within the Huawei group, all Huawei mobile services (including AppGallery, APP Assistant, Wallet, Huawei ID, MemberCenter, IAP, Points, Themes, ScreenMagazine, Music, Mobile Cloud, Browser, AppAdvisor, Assistant and Health) will be transferred on 1st Nov 2019 from Aspiegel Limited to Huawei Services (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd, an affiliate of Aspiegel Limited, incorporated and based in Hong Kong.
This change applies to lots of regions and countries across the world. The full list of regions and countries is available at this link. Huawei claims that it wishes to introduce innovative digital content services and to expand the products and services available to customers. “We will do this with a dedicated, expert team, working with a specially established and designated Huawei company (Huawei Services (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd) so that we can better meet the needs of our customers. This change is part of our commitment to provide you with the best services possible and to continue to offer even more,” the company said.
The company further added, “We have therefore restructured some of our operations and we are now running global business operations and development for all Huawei mobile services from our hubs in Ireland and Hong Kong. Moving forward, Huawei Services (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd will take overall legal responsibilities and obligations to customers in these regions from Aspiegel Limited. In particular, Huawei Services (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd will be responsible for protecting your personal data.”
Huawei said that this change will not affect its services from a customer usage point of view. “In general, your legal consumer rights and obligations are unaffected by this change, for example, it will not affect your device guarantee or warranty. If you are a Huawei user living in one of the regions mentioned in the disclaimer, your local law applies when it provides mandatory and stronger protections to you,” the company clarified.
