Entrusted processors may access only what their duties require, under agreed purposes
Kimi may entrust third-party service providers (such as authorized partners including its technical service providers) to process your personal information so they can provide technical support, data analysis and other services. Kimi says it entrusts processing only on the basis of lawful, legitimate, necessary, specific and explicit purposes and only where industry-standard security technologies are adopted; entrusted parties may access only the personal information necessary to perform their duties, must comply with Kimi’s instructions and this policy, and must not use the information beyond the agreed purpose scope.

Partners may receive personal information for API/SDK functions under an ambiguous consent condition
Section 4.2 states: “Except where we have obtained your explicit consent or where your consent is not required under laws, we may share your personal information with partners (including our affiliates and other third parties) to enable the normal use of functions such as API interfaces and software development kits (SDKs).” Read as written, the sentence permits Kimi to share personal information with partners for these functions and presents consent-based sharing and legally exempt sharing as alternatives; it does not plainly condition partner sharing on your consent. The neighbouring clauses share the same preamble with a different main clause: Section 4.3 permits merger-type transfers subject to protective conditions, and Section 4.4 states Kimi will not publicly disclose personal information except with explicit consent or a legal exemption. Section 10 says the Chinese version prevails on any discrepancy or ambiguity, so the saved English wording does not by itself settle how this exception is applied.

Except where we have obtained your explicit consent or where your consent is not required under laws, we will not publicly disclose your personal information.
In case of any discrepancy, ambiguity or conflict between the two language versions, the Chinese version shall prevail.
Qualifications & exceptions
The phrase “where your consent is not required under laws” matches the policy’s own list of statutory exceptions to prior consent explained in the consent-exceptions card.
Not stated here
Whether Kimi intended partner sharing under Section 4.2 to be conditioned on your explicit consent cannot be established from the saved English text: reading it as a consent prerequisite would require assuming a drafting error the text does not evidence, and the controlling Chinese version named in Section 10 is outside this saved source. Which rule Kimi applies to partner sharing in practice is not stated.
