- The page that referred you to us and the pages you view

6. International transfers
We are based in China and work with suppliers and service providers in several countries, including the United States, where some of the providers listed above operate. As a result, your information may be transferred to and processed outside your country of residence. Where this happens we take reasonable steps to ensure the information continues to receive an appropriate level of protection, and we only transfer what is needed for the purposes described above.
7. How long we keep it
- Enquiries that do not lead to an order: up to 24 months from our last contact, so we can pick up the conversation if you return.
- Customer and order records: for the duration of the business relationship and afterwards as long as required for contracts, tax, customs and export documentation.
- Analytics data: retained according to the Google Analytics retention setting, currently 14 months.

Depending on where you live you may have some or all of the following rights. We honour these requests for all visitors, regardless of jurisdiction.
- Access — ask what information we hold about you
- Correction — ask us to fix inaccurate or incomplete information
- Deletion — ask us to erase information we no longer need
- Restriction or objection — ask us to limit or stop certain processing

A note for visitors in specific regions: visitors in Brazil are covered by the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD); visitors in the EU, EEA and UK by the GDPR and UK GDPR; visitors in Argentina by Ley 25.326; and visitors in Chile by that country's data protection legislation. Nothing in this policy reduces rights you have under those laws.
9. Children
This is a business-to-business website for companies that buy beverage packaging. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
10. How we protect your information
The site is served over HTTPS. Access to enquiry data is limited to the sales and management staff who need it to answer you, and our form delivery service is restricted by access keys. No system is completely secure, but we take reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
11. Links to other sites
Our pages link to external resources, including regulators, industry bodies and our company profiles on LinkedIn, YouTube and Crunchbase. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please read their own policies.
12. Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle personal information we will update this page and revise the date at the top. Material changes will be signposted on the homepage.
