2. Information we collect

2.1. Information you provide to us

When you submit the contact form, call us, email us or enter into an agreement with us, we may collect:

• identifiers and contact details — full name, company name, email address, phone number;
• information about your request — the service you are interested in, estimated deal size, products, volumes, markets and any other details you choose to share in your message;
• business information needed to perform the Services — company details, tax or registration numbers, bank details for settlements (only under a signed agreement and never through the Website form);
• records of your consent to this Privacy Policy and our communications with you.

Please do not send us sensitive personal information (such as health data, Social Security numbers or payment card numbers) through the Website.

2.2. Information collected automatically

When you visit the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect:

• device and connection data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, language settings;
• usage data — pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring website, links clicked and the date and time of your visit;
• approximate location derived from your IP address (city or region level);
• information collected through cookies and similar technologies, as described in Section 5 — only with your consent where consent is required.

2.3. Information from third parties

We may receive aggregated or pseudonymous information from advertising and analytics partners (for example, Google) about how visitors found and used our Website, and business contact information from publicly available sources and business directories when we search for potential counterparties on behalf of our clients.

3. How we use information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

• to respond to your inquiries, prepare quotes and provide free consultations;
• to negotiate, conclude and perform agreements with you and to provide the Services;
• to search for, verify and introduce potential suppliers, buyers and other business partners;
• to send you service-related messages (for example, updates about your deal);
• to operate, maintain, secure and improve the Website, and to prevent spam, fraud and abuse;
• to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, including Google Ads, subject to your cookie choices;
• to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

We will send you marketing emails only if you have agreed to receive them or where permitted by law, and every such message will contain an easy way to unsubscribe. We do not use automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

4. Legal bases for processing

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contract — to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement and to perform it;
• Consent — for non-essential cookies, analytics and advertising technologies, and for processing your contact-form data; you may withdraw consent at any time;
• Legitimate interests — to operate and secure the Website, to develop our business and to communicate with business contacts, where those interests are not overridden by your rights;
• Legal obligation — to comply with accounting, tax and other legal requirements.

5. Cookies and tracking technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Website to function, for example to protect the contact form against spam (session cookie) and to remember your cookie preferences (cc_consent, stored for 180 days). These cookies cannot be switched off.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Website (for example, Google Analytics). They are set only if you allow them.
• Marketing cookies — used to measure the performance of our ads and, where permitted, to show relevant ads on other websites (for example, Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing). They are set only if you allow them.

When you first visit the Website, a cookie banner lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies or choose individual categories. You can change your choice at any time by clicking Cookie Settings (also available in the footer of every page). We use Google Consent Mode, which means Google tags adjust their behavior according to your choices and do not store advertising or analytics cookies until you consent.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you disable strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the Website (such as the contact form) may not work properly. The Website loads fonts from Google Fonts; when this happens, your browser sends your IP address to Google.

6. Google Ads, remarketing & analytics

We may use Google Ads to advertise our Services, including conversion tracking and remarketing features, and Google Analytics to analyze Website traffic. These services are provided by Google LLC.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our Website or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Website and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices or, in the EU, at www.youronlinechoices.eu.
• You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

We do not use remarketing lists or audiences based on sensitive categories, and we do not share personally identifiable information (such as your name or email) with Google for ad targeting without your explicit consent.

7. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising without your consent. We may share personal information only with:

• Potential counterparties — when you ask us to find a supplier or buyer, we share the business details needed to arrange the deal, and only to the extent you have authorized;
• Service providers — hosting, email, IT support, analytics and advertising providers, logistics partners, customs brokers and professional advisers (lawyers, accountants) who act on our instructions and are bound by confidentiality obligations;
• Authorities — when required by law, subpoena or court order, or to protect our rights, property or safety and that of others;
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of all or part of our business, subject to this Privacy Policy.

8. Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Contact-form requests that do not result in cooperation are deleted within 24 months. Information related to agreements and transactions is kept for the duration of the relationship and afterwards for the period required by tax, accounting and other applicable laws (generally up to 7 years). Cookie retention periods are described in Section 5.

9. Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls and spam protection. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we learn of a security breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

10. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• know and access the personal information we hold about you and receive a copy of it;
• correct inaccurate personal information;
• request deletion of your personal information;
• opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising and profiling (we do not sell personal information);
• withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal;
• object to or restrict certain processing and request data portability (EEA/UK residents);
• lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority;
• not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

U.S. state residents (including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and other states with consumer privacy laws) may exercise the rights available under their state law. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals as a request to opt out of sharing for targeted advertising.

To exercise your rights, email us at [email protected] or call +1 (774) 327-1775. We will verify your request and respond within the time required by law (usually 30–45 days). You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision.

11. Children’s privacy

The Website and Services are intended for businesses and adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

12. International data transfers

We are based in the United States, and your information may be processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers or counterparties operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

13. Third-party websites

The Website may contain links to third-party websites and services. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any website you visit.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “last updated” date. If changes are material, we will provide a prominent notice on the Website.
