An associated entity is a natural person, legal person, or organization associated with developers. Developers can apply for binding entities that are associated with the HarmonyOS open platform account entities. The associated entities refer to any of the following types:
- Entities that have an absolute holding relationship (e.g., 50% of the voting rights) directly or indirectly, such as between a parent company and a subsidiary.
- Entities that are under the holding of the same entity directly or indirectly, such as between subsidiaries.
- Entities that apply for binding and are related to each other. The specific relationship is subject to the review.
