4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we rely on the following legal bases:

• Consent: When you submit our contact form, you explicitly consent to us processing your data to respond to your inquiry. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate Interest: We have a legitimate interest in responding to business inquiries, maintaining our business relationships, and improving our services.
• Legal Obligation: Where we are required to retain certain records for compliance with applicable laws.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected:

• Inquiry data: retained for the duration of the business relationship plus 2 years after the last communication, unless you request earlier deletion.
• Technical data (logs): retained for 12 months.
• Analytics data: retained for up to 14 months in Google Analytics, after which it is deleted automatically.
• When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We share it only with the service providers that run this website and deliver your inquiry to us, and only to the extent each of them needs it:

• Web3Forms — the contact form on this website is transmitted through and stored by Web3Forms, a form-handling service operated in the United States, which forwards your submission to our email. Web3Forms processes the data on our instructions only.
• Google Analytics 4 — Google Ireland Limited (and Google LLC in the United States) processes aggregate visitor statistics for us. See section 9 for the cookies this sets.
• Our email provider — your inquiry is delivered to and stored in our business email account.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose data if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities.

Your data is processed primarily within China. When we transfer data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) — including the United States, where Web3Forms and Google operate — we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

7. International Transfers

As a company based in China, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in China, which is not an EEA country with an adequacy decision under GDPR. We ensure that appropriate safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission) are in place to protect your data when transferred outside the EEA.

• Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

• Right to restriction of processing: You may request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to data portability: You may request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interest, including direct marketing.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
• Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe we have violated your data protection rights.
