# What the Robotaxi GXR knows about you

Made by WeRide. 9 findings on record, 9 verified against primary sources. Every line is checked; a maker's claim is labeled as a claim, and we say so when nothing is on record.

## Cloud upload

WeRide stores and backs up personal information within mainland China; the GXR's 12 cameras, LiDAR, and radar sensor data is stored on onboard SSDs, then pre-processed, compressed, and uploaded to either AWS cloud in the US or WeRide's own data center in China for model training.

## Data sale

WeRide's privacy policy states it will not share personal information with any company, organization, or individual outside of WeRide and its affiliated companies without explicit user consent; the policy does not address data sale and contains no explicit sale or non-sale statement.

## Biometric storage

WeRide's privacy policy lists personal biometric information as a category of personal data that may be processed; in-car videos capture passenger faces and external cameras capture bystander faces, though the company claims external faces are desensitized on-device before cloud upload.
