International Data Transfers
We are located in China and serve customers worldwide. Information you submit may therefore be transferred to, stored in or processed in China or another country outside your place of residence.
Privacy laws in those countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction. Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards, which may include contractual data-protection terms, standard contractual clauses, consent or another legally recognized transfer mechanism.

Generally:
- Ordinary inquiries and business correspondence may be retained for up to three years after the last substantive interaction;
- Customer, contract, order, logistics, after-sales and financial records may be retained longer where required by the business relationship or applicable law;
- Server and security logs are normally retained for no longer than 12 months unless required for a security investigation or legal obligation;
- Marketing information is retained until you unsubscribe, object, or the information no longer has a reasonable business purpose;
- Cookie retention depends on the particular cookie and its purpose.
After the applicable period, information will be deleted, anonymized or otherwise securely disposed of unless continued retention is required by law.
Information Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including access controls, account security, website maintenance, software updates, backups and appropriate provider management.
No internet transmission or electronic-storage method is completely secure. Please do not send highly sensitive or confidential information through an unsecured inquiry channel. Contact us first if you need to transmit valuable technical files or trade secrets.

Notice for California Residents
If applicable California privacy law covers our activities, California residents may have rights to know, access, correct or delete personal information and to opt out of a legally defined “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.

Depending on the applicable law, the use of certain analytics or advertising-related cookies and technologies may be considered “sharing,” targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising. Where applicable, you can opt out by selecting “Reject All” or by disabling Analytics and Advertisement cookies through our cookie settings.
Our website may not respond to traditional browser “Do Not Track” signals. Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid opt-out preference signal, we will process that signal as required.

You may also lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority in the country where you live or work, or where you believe an infringement occurred.
