Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Kanzhun Limited, operator of the BOSS Zhipin app, has faced scrutiny regarding its cybersecurity practices. China's Cyberspace Administration (CAC) initiated a cybersecurity review, which led to the suspension of new user registrations for the app. Following these investigations, securities class actions were allegedly filed against Kanzhun, with critics pointing to potential non-disclosure issues in IPO filings. The company has publicly stated its intention to fully cooperate with the CAC, committing to a comprehensive examination of cybersecurity risks and enhancing its technology capabilities. Specific details on data breaches or the exact nature of cybersecurity concerns remain limited. For other ethical areas like fair pay, environmental impact, or honest business practices, there is insufficient public information to provide a detailed assessment.
