5. How We Collect Information

We collect information in three main ways. The first is information you provide directly. This happens when you complete a contact form, send us an email, call us, or otherwise communicate with our team. The second is information collected automatically. When you browse our website, certain technical data is recorded by standard web technologies as described in the section on cookies below. The third is information we receive from third parties, such as business partners, suppliers, or publicly available business directories, in the course of evaluating and fulfilling service requests.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information we collect is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. We do not collect special categories of personal data such as health information, biometric data, or political opinions through this website, and we ask that you not submit such information to us.

If you become a customer, we use your information to manage orders, arrange shipping, and provide after-sales support. Third, to improve our website and services. Technical and usage information helps us understand how visitors use our pages and where we can make improvements.

We may also use your information to comply with legal obligations, to protect our rights and the security of our systems, and to send you information about our services where you have expressed an interest and where the law permits. We do not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Where we rely on consent as a legal basis, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us using the details in the contact section of this policy.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to recognize your browser, remember preferences, and understand how the site is used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They help us deliver a more reliable and efficient experience.

We may use essential cookies that are necessary for the website to function, performance cookies that help us measure site usage, and functional cookies that remember choices you make. We do not currently use advertising cookies that track you across unrelated websites.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You may choose to block or delete cookies, but doing so may affect the functionality of parts of our website. You can also find more information about managing cookies through the help section of your browser or through online resources such as industry guidance published by privacy authorities.

We do not use cookies to build profiles about you for advertising purposes, and we do not sell information collected through cookies. If we introduce new tracking technologies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required by law, obtain your consent before using them.

9. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information in the limited circumstances described below. We may share information with service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, email delivery, logistics, and payment processing. These providers are only permitted to use the information to perform those functions and are required to protect it appropriately.

We may share information with business partners where it is necessary to deliver a service you have requested, such as freight forwarders, customs agents, or suppliers involved in fulfilling an order. We may disclose information where required by law, regulation, or legal process, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, and we will notify you as required by law.

10. International Data Transfers

The Company is based in China, and information we collect may be processed in China and in other countries where our service providers operate. The data protection laws of those countries may differ from the laws in your own country.

When we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the information, such as contractual clauses or other measures recognized by applicable law. By using our website and services, you consent to the transfer of your information as described in this policy.

If you would like more information about the safeguards we apply to international transfers, please contact us using the details provided below.

We note that the locations in which our service providers operate may include countries that have not received an adequacy decision from your local data protection authority. In such cases, we rely on contractual commitments and other appropriate measures to protect the information we transfer.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The specific period depends on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it was collected.

For example, information related to business transactions may be retained for the duration required by accounting and tax regulations. Enquiry information may be retained for a reasonable period to allow us to follow up on potential business opportunities. Technical logs may be retained for a shorter period for security and performance purposes.

When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it in a secure manner. You may request deletion of your information earlier in accordance with the rights described in the next section.

12. Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect it against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These measures include access controls, secure transmission protocols, and regular review of our security practices.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to protect your own devices and to use caution when sharing personal information online.

If we become aware of a security incident that may have affected your personal information, we will notify you and any relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

Access to personal information within the Company is limited to personnel who need it to perform their duties, and those personnel are bound by confidentiality obligations. We also review and update our security measures on an ongoing basis to respond to new threats and to reflect changes in technology and best practice.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to access the information we hold about you, the right to correct inaccurate information, the right to request deletion of your information, the right to restrict or object to certain processing, and the right to data portability where applicable.

We will aim to respond to verified requests within one month.

Our website and services are directed at businesses and professional users, not at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of sixteen. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
