- Information from third-party channels: information you send when you contact us through WhatsApp, email, or another external service.
We do not provide consumer accounts through the Services and we do not intentionally collect payment card information through this website.
2. How We Collect Information
We collect information directly from you when you complete a form, send an email, submit drawings, request a quotation, verify or download a certificate, or communicate with us. We also collect limited technical information automatically through server logs, cookies, security tools, and analytics technologies. Information may also be provided by your employer, colleague, distributor, or another business contact where appropriate.
3. How We Use Information
We may use personal information to:
- respond to enquiries and evaluate drawings, specifications, and manufacturing requirements;
- prepare quotations and communicate about projects, orders, quality documents, delivery, and after-sales support;
- operate the certificate verification service and protect certificates from unauthorized access or misuse;
- operate, maintain, localize, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Services;
- measure website performance and understand which content is useful to international visitors;
- prevent spam, fraud, abuse, cyberattacks, and other security incidents;
- maintain business, quality, compliance, and legal records; and
- send relevant business communications where permitted by law. You may opt out of non-essential marketing communications at any time.
4. Legal Bases for Processing
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process personal information because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, to perform a contract, to comply with legal obligations, for our legitimate interests in operating and securing a B2B manufacturing website and responding to commercial enquiries, or based on your consent. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.
5. Cookies and Analytics
We use essential cookies and similar technologies for website operation, security, language selection, accessibility, and consent management. With your consent where required, we may also use analytics technologies, including Google services, to understand website traffic and performance. You can manage non-essential cookies through the consent controls available on the website and through your browser settings. For more information, see our Cookie Policy.
6. Service Providers and Disclosures
We may disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary to:
- website infrastructure and security providers, including Cloudflare, hosting, content delivery, backup, and security services;
- analytics and website service providers, including Google services used subject to applicable consent settings;
- communications providers, including email delivery services and WhatsApp when you choose to use those channels;
- professional advisers and business partners who need the information to support a quotation, project, compliance requirement, or legal matter; and
- public authorities or other parties when disclosure is required by law, necessary to protect legal rights, or needed to prevent fraud or security threats.
Third-party services process information under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not sell personal information for money.
7. International Data Transfers
AODSON is based in China and serves customers internationally. Your information may therefore be processed in China and in other countries where our service providers operate. Where required, we use reasonable contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards for international transfers. Privacy and data protection laws in those countries may differ from those in your country.
8. Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including business communication, quotation follow-up, quality traceability, certificate security, dispute resolution, and legal or accounting obligations. Typical enquiry and project correspondence may be retained for up to three years after the last meaningful interaction. Order, quality, tax, and contractual records may be retained longer where required by law or legitimate business needs. Technical, security, certificate query, and download logs are reviewed periodically and retained only for a proportionate period. We may retain anonymized or aggregated information that no longer identifies an individual.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including access controls, encrypted connections, website security monitoring, protected certificate downloads, and restricted administrative access. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive personal information in drawings or messages.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request information about our processing, access your personal information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, restrict or object to processing, receive a portable copy, or withdraw consent. You may also have the right to complain to the data protection authority in your country.
To exercise a privacy right, email [email protected] with the subject “Privacy Request”. We may request reasonable information to verify your identity and authority. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.
11. Children’s Privacy
The Services are intended for business and professional users and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
12. External Links and Third-Party Services
The Services may link to websites or services operated by third parties. We are not responsible for their privacy, security, or content. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party service before providing information.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our Services, technology, legal requirements, or business practices. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes will be highlighted or otherwise communicated where required by law.
