1. Introduction
Peco China Sourcing is operated by Peco.Sourcing (“Peco”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information when you use our website, contact us, purchase a service, share project materials, or otherwise interact with us. For privacy questions, contact us at support@pecosourcing.com.
2. Information we may collect
Information you provide
When you contact us through email, WhatsApp, or another agreed channel, we may receive your name, email address, messaging contact, company details, country or region, and the contents of your message.
Project and sourcing information
To understand and perform a sourcing project, we may receive product descriptions, specifications, quantities, target prices or budgets, intended markets, timelines, supplier preferences, certification requirements, designs, logos, artwork, tech packs, sample information, quotations, and project decisions.
Service and transaction information
If you purchase a service, we may keep records of the service, amount, currency, payment status, invoice or transaction reference, and a refund or dispute request. We do not collect full payment-card details through this website.
Technical and usage information
Our website uses Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights. These services provide aggregated or anonymous information about pages viewed, referring source, device and browser characteristics, country or approximate location, and website performance metrics. See “Cookies, analytics, and performance tools” below for more detail.
3. How we collect and use information
We collect information when you contact us, provide project files or details, make a service purchase, communicate with us, or browse the website. We use it to:
- respond to enquiries, understand requirements, and prepare quotations;
- provide sourcing services, including supplier research and project coordination;
- communicate with you and relevant project participants;
- manage payments, invoices, records, disputes, fraud prevention, and legal obligations;
- protect our rights and the security of our services; and
- understand website usage and performance so we can improve the website.
Where required by applicable law, we rely on one or more recognised legal bases for processing, including steps requested before a contract, performance of a contract, legitimate business interests, compliance with legal obligations, consent, or protection of legal rights.
4. How we share information
We may share relevant information with potential or selected suppliers, manufacturers, trading companies, inspection providers, laboratories, certification providers, logistics providers, freight forwarders, payment providers, email and communication providers, website and cloud-service providers, accountants, professional advisers, and authorities where reasonably necessary for the requested service, a legal obligation, or protection of rights and safety.
In particular, product specifications and project details may need to be shared with relevant suppliers or service providers to perform the sourcing service. We do not sell personal information as a standalone commercial product.
5. Payments
Payment arrangements are handled outside this website. If you pay through an independent payment provider, bank, or payment platform, that provider handles payment details, billing information, fraud-prevention information, and transaction records under its own terms and privacy policy. We generally receive payment confirmation and limited transaction information needed for our records and to provide the service.
6. International transfers
Peco works internationally and is China-based. Clients, suppliers, and service providers may be located in China or other countries, and website or cloud providers may process information in additional jurisdictions. Information may therefore be transferred outside your country. Where required by applicable law, we take reasonable steps to use appropriate safeguards for those transfers.
7. Retention and security
We retain information for the period reasonably necessary to provide the requested service, manage client relationships, maintain business records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, meet legal or accounting obligations, or establish or defend legal claims. We may retain certain records for longer where a legitimate business need or applicable law requires it.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards, including restricted access, account-security practices, and appropriate service providers. No internet transmission or electronic storage method is completely secure.
8. Cookies, analytics, and performance tools
Vercel Web Analytics is used to understand aggregated website traffic and does not use third-party cookies. Vercel Speed Insights collects anonymous performance data through browser APIs when pages load, such as route, browser, device type, country, network characteristics, and Core Web Vitals. These tools help us understand website usage and performance; they are not used for advertising or cross-site behavioural tracking.
You can control certain cookies through your browser settings. The current website does not use an advertising or marketing-cookie integration. Third-party services you choose to use, such as WhatsApp or a payment provider, may use their own cookies or similar technologies under their own policies.
9. Marketing communications
We may send project, payment, service, or security communications that are necessary to provide the service. We may send marketing communications only where consent or another lawful basis permits it. You may opt out of marketing messages at any time; this does not stop necessary service, payment, security, or project communications.
10. Your privacy rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent, or a complaint to a regulator. To make a request, email support@pecosourcing.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
11. Children and confidential project materials
Our services are intended for adults and business users. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18.
Client files such as tech packs, designs, logos, specifications, quotations, supplier information, sample photos, and project documents are handled as project information. We may share them only with relevant suppliers and service providers as reasonably necessary to perform the requested service. Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive personal information.
12. Third-party links, disclosures, and business transfers
Our website may link to social-media platforms, messaging services, payment providers, supplier websites, or other external resources. Those third parties operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their independent practices.
We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights and safety, investigate fraud, enforce agreements, or defend legal claims. Information may also be transferred in connection with a merger, reorganisation, financing, acquisition, asset sale, or other business transfer, subject to applicable legal requirements.
13. Changes and contact
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will be changed when a new version takes effect, and material updates may be communicated through the website or another reasonable method.
