The agreement between Alipay and Alibaba is still valid. The 2022 fiscal year report released by Alibaba shows that Alibaba and Ant Group have agreed to terminate the "Data Sharing Agreement" and stated that they will negotiate the terms of the data sharing arrangement on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations to the extent necessary for both parties to provide services to their respective customers.

As for the impact of the termination of the "Data Sharing Agreement" on Ant Group, Ant Group has not given an official response. But industry insiders believe that this arrangement will help improve compliance.

Regarding the issue of data sharing, Ant Group stated in its reply to the inquiry letter in 2020 that Ant Group and Alibaba each have independent computing capabilities, and the data collected by both parties are stored independently, and there is no shared mixed data pool. Ant Group independently manages and uses the data obtained in the course of its business in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and regulatory requirements. Moreover, when sharing data, Ant Group and Alibaba also comply with their respective agreements with customers, and there is no infringement of the legitimate interests of customers.
