2. What Information We Collect

We collect two broad categories of information: personal data voluntarily submitted by visitors, and non‑personal automatically‑collected technical data.

2.1 Voluntarily‑submitted Personal Information

When you complete our inquiry contact form or send messages via website chat tools, you may provide us with personal and business‑related information such as your full name, company name, email address, telephone or WhatsApp number, country of origin, and content of your inquiry message.

We only collect information you actively choose to send to us. You are not required to provide any personal data simply to browse public pages of our Website. You may withhold personal details; however, failure to supply necessary contact data may prevent us from replying to your business inquiry.

2.2 Automatically‑collected Non‑personal Technical Data

When you browse our Website, our web server may automatically record technical log‑file information including your IP address, browser type, device model, operating system, referring website address, pages visited, time and date of access, and click‑through behaviour on the site. This data cannot directly identify you as an individual visitor.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve website stability and browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored locally on your device. You may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies; disabling cookies may cause partial website functions to behave abnormally. We do not use cookies for large‑scale targeted advertising without user consent.

3. Purpose for Using Collected Information

We use collected information only for legitimate business purposes related to our lighting wholesale activities:

1. To receive, process, reply and follow‑up your product inquiries, quotation requests and business consultation messages submitted through contact forms or chat windows.
2. For internal business communication, order preparation, sample arrangement and pre‑sales technical support for potential B2B buyers.
3. To maintain website security, detect technical faults, prevent malicious access and defend against spam messages.
4. To conduct anonymous statistical analysis of website traffic, optimise page content and improve user browsing experience.
5. To comply with legal obligations under applicable laws, respond to valid official requests from government authorities.

We will NOT sell, rent or trade your personal identifiable information to third‑party marketing companies for commercial promotion purposes. We will not share your private data with unrelated external organisations unless we obtain your explicit written consent, or disclosure is required by binding law.

4. Information Storage and Data Security

Information submitted via forms will be stored on secure cloud‑hosted servers. We take reasonable organisational and technical security measures to protect your submitted business and personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, leakage or destruction.

Please note that no internet transmission or electronic storage method can guarantee absolute one‑hundred‑percent security. While we strive to protect user data, we cannot warrant complete invulnerability of online communications.

Personal inquiry data will be retained only as long as reasonably necessary: we keep your message and contact details to handle your business communication. If no further business‑related purpose exists, we will archive or delete your personal information in accordance with practical business cycles and applicable legal requirements.

Depending on applicable local data‑protection laws including GDPR for users located within European economic area, you may hold rights including access to your personal data we hold, request correction of inaccurate information, request erasure of your submitted records, restrict certain processing activities, or submit objections to data usage.
