Temu · Full chronicle and history

On October 16, the Texas Attorney General's Office announced a settlement with Chinese e-commerce platform Temu: Temu will pay $3 million, Texas consumers' personal data must be stored on servers located within the United States and controlled by U.S. companies, access by personnel and institutions within China will be restricted, and independent security testing and compliance audits will be conducted annually, with a penalty of $8 million per violation. The settlement does not constitute an admission of liability.

In February 2026, Texas Attorney General Paxton sued Temu, alleging that it concealed risks that consumer data could be provided to the Chinese government and others; Temu denies any violation.
