BottomRace (“BottomRace”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operates bottomrace.com and provides buyer-side electrical sourcing advice and local support in Yueqing, China. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information when you visit our website or contact us.
1. Information we collect
We may collect the following information:
- Information you send to us: your name, email address, company, country, telephone number if provided, product requirements, factory details, travel plans, attachments and any other information included in your emails or correspondence.
- Service and business records: notes, itineraries, meeting records, quotations and correspondence relating to services you ask us to provide.
- Technical information: IP address, browser type, device information, requested pages, referring pages and timestamps that may be recorded in server or security logs when you access the website.
- Cookie information: limited technical information associated with cookies that are necessary for the website to operate securely. See our Cookie Policy for details.
We do not currently provide user accounts, a public enquiry form, a newsletter sign-up or payment processing through this website.
2. How we use information
We use personal information to:
- respond to enquiries and communicate with you;
- understand your sourcing requirements and prepare proposed services or itineraries;
- provide advice, factory visits, interpretation, negotiation support and other services you ask us to provide;
- keep business, service and financial records;
- protect the website, prevent misuse and maintain security;
- comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations; and
- establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information because it is necessary to respond to your request, perform an agreed service, comply with law, protect legitimate business interests such as security and record-keeping, or because you have given consent. You may withdraw consent at any time where consent is the relevant basis, without affecting processing that already took place.
3. When we share information
We do not sell personal information. We may share it in limited circumstances:
- With suppliers or factories: only as needed to arrange a requested visit, communication or service. We ask before sharing your contact details with a supplier unless you have already asked us to make that introduction.
- With service providers: hosting, email, security, caching and other technical providers that help operate the website or our business. They may process information on our behalf under appropriate contractual and security arrangements.
- For legal reasons: when required by law, regulation, court order or a competent authority, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety or security.
- Business changes: in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or transfer of business assets, subject to appropriate safeguards.
4. International processing
Our website is hosted through Hostinger, and some service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we take reasonable steps to use appropriate safeguards for international transfers. Contact us if you would like more information about the safeguards relevant to your information.
5. Retention and security
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, including ongoing business relationships, record-keeping, dispute resolution and legal compliance. Retention periods depend on the type of information, the service involved and applicable requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymise it where appropriate.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your choices and rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction or objection to certain processing, portability, or withdrawal of consent. You may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority in your country.
To make a request, email contact@bottomrace.com. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information where the law requires or permits us to do so.
7. Children
Our website and services are intended for businesses and professional buyers, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
8. External links
The website may link to third-party websites, including manufacturer websites. Their privacy practices are controlled by them, not by BottomRace. Review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our website, services or legal obligations. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date. Material changes will be communicated where appropriate.
