Beijing: China Regulator ordered the removal of the application store of the 25 applications owned by Didi Global Inc., the largest household reply service in the country, quoted severe violations of rules for collecting personal data.
The Chinese Cyberspace government has won the main Didi application last week, waiting for Cybersecurity reviews, after his US stock market debut last week.
25 additional applications include Didi Enterprises, and designed for Didi drivers.
A spokesman Didi did not immediately respond to a comment request.
This step occurred after the Chinese authorities said earlier this week they would increase the supervision of companies registered abroad.
Under new steps, data security regulations and cross-border data flows, and confidential data management, will be increased.
Didi is the latest company that faces supervision from the Chinese government.
The investigation found “serious violations” in how Didi collected and used personal information, said the internet regulator at the beginning of this week.
A statement said the company was told to “fix the problem” but did not provide details.
The Internet regulator also said Didi was prohibited from accepting new customers until the investigation was completed.
Didi was founded in 2012 as a taxi-hailon application and has developed into a choice of other travel trips including cars and personal buses.
It is also said to invest in electric cars, artificial intelligence and other technology development.
Didi collected $ 4 billion from investors in New York’s stock stock.
The ruling communist party began to tighten control over the internet industry that changed rapidly China last year, launching anti-monopoly and other investigations.
Earlier this year, the authorities fined Alibaba’s record of $ 2.8 billion from an antitrust violation and launched an investigation on the Meituan food platform for alleged monopolistic behavior.
On Saturday, China’s market regulator blocked the direct streaming platform supported by Tencent from Huya and Douyu from the merger after an anti-monopoly investigation.
