If you proceed with a project, we use the information you give us to compare suppliers, prepare quotations, arrange showroom and factory visits, place and track orders, organise inspection, consolidation and delivery, and keep the project records the work requires.<\/p>\n<p>The inquiry endpoint keeps a short-lived rate-limit record based on a hash of the requesting IP address, for one minute, to reduce repeated or automated submissions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legal grounds.<\/strong> Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on: taking steps at your request before entering a contract and performing the contract for project work; our legitimate interest in keeping the website secure and responding to inquiries; legal obligations such as accounting and tax record-keeping; and your consent for analytics and advertising measurement where consent is required in your location. Sending an inquiry is not consent to unrelated marketing, and we do not sell personal information.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"sf-trust-section\" id=\"sharing\">\n<h2>Where information goes<\/h2>\n<p>Website inquiries are delivered by email to <a href=\"mailto:hello@sourcefoshan.com\">hello@sourcefoshan.com<\/a>. The website is hosted by Kinsta, and inquiry emails are sent through our transactional email service provider; both process information only as needed to deliver the site and its messages.<\/p>\n<p>When a project needs it, we share only the information necessary for the task with the suppliers, workshops, inspectors, freight forwarders and customs brokers involved: typically product specifications, quantities, delivery destination and the consignee details required for shipping documents. We do not pass your contact details to suppliers for their own marketing. Avoid including personal details in drawings or reference files when they are not needed for the sourcing task.<\/p>\n<p>Google receives information through the analytics and advertising services described in the Cookie Policy. WhatsApp, WeChat, map links and other external sites operate under their own privacy notices when you use or follow them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>International transfers.<\/strong> Our team works in China and our technology providers operate in other countries, so information you send us is processed outside your own country. We limit what we collect and share to what the sourcing work needs, restrict access to the team members working on your project, and apply the safeguards required by the law that applies to you where a transfer mechanism is needed.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"sf-trust-section\" id=\"shortlist\">\n<h2>Your saved showroom route<\/h2>\n<p>The showroom directory stores the identifiers of places you save under <code>sourcefoshan-showroom-route-v2<\/code> in your browser&#8217;s local storage, so your route remains available on that browser.
