Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Aurora Mobile Limited presents a mixed ethical profile. Reports suggest a significant gender pay gap in its UK operations, with women's mean hourly pay 19% lower and mean bonus pay 90% lower than men's. Furthermore, the 2021 annual report indicates the company has not fully complied with PRC social insurance and housing fund contributions. Critics point to an inherent conflict with 'Safe & Smart Tech' due to its data-intensive business model, which processes potentially sensitive user information. However, Aurora Mobile has pursued SOC 2 Type II certification and established a Hong Kong data center to comply with GDPR and CCPA. While it indirectly contributes to health information dissemination via its MASHINI VaaS solution, its overall impact on health outcomes is considered low. Information on environmental practices, ethical sourcing, and community engagement is largely unavailable.

Better Health for All

-10

Aurora Mobile's core products and services, such as mobile big data solutions and developer services, do not have a significant positive or negative direct health impact, resulting in a neutral score for health impact core. Similarly, these products do not have direct safety implications for physical or mental health, nor are they health-related products requiring specific accessibility considerations, leading to neutral scores for safety record and price accessibility. The company's products also do not carry health risks requiring specific disclosure or transparency, resulting in a neutral score for risk transparency. For healthcare data responsibility, Aurora Mobile demonstrates strong practices. Its subsidiaries, EngageLab and GPTBots.ai, achieved SOC 2 Type II certification, a globally recognized data security standard.

1
The company also received Data Security Governance certification from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), and its JPush and JMessage SDKs passed CAICT’s security tests and evaluations in 2021.
2
Aurora Mobile has adopted measures to comply with personal information protection laws, requiring app developers to obtain user consent for data collection and use, and encrypts collected data for use in aggregated and anonymized form.
3

4
Without knowing the total R&D budget, this amount cannot be assessed as a percentage, but it is a specific investment in a technology that could have health applications. However, the rubric requires a percentage of R&D budget, and without that, a score cannot be assigned based on the positive tiers. Given the company's primary focus is not health, and this is a single project, it's likely a small portion of overall R&D, which would fall into a negative tier if a percentage were known. As no percentage is provided, this KPI is omitted. For healthcare education, Aurora Mobile's Video-as-a-Service (VaaS) solution facilitates the delivery of healthcare information through the Health Headline APP, including articles, videos, and infographics on healthy living habits and scientific medical knowledge.

This solution provides access to over 130 million short videos and over 200,000 daily updates from more than 100,000 contracted content providers.
