Legal bases for processing
Where a legal basis is required, we rely on one or more of the following:
| Legal basis | Typical purpose |
|---|---|
| Contract or pre-contract steps | Responding to a quotation or sample request, processing an order, arranging delivery, and providing after-sales service. |
| Legitimate interests | Operating and improving our business, communicating with business contacts, securing our website, preventing fraud, and keeping appropriate records. |
| Consent | Optional cookies, certain marketing communications, or other processing where consent is legally required. You may withdraw consent at any time. |
| Legal obligation | Meeting accounting, tax, customs, trade, compliance, and lawful government-request requirements. |
Cookies and similar technologies
Our website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to remember settings, keep the website functioning, understand performance, and support marketing activities. The cookies used can vary as our website and service providers change.
| Category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Support core website operation, security, form delivery, and requested features. |
| Preferences | Remember language, display, or other choices where available. |
| Analytics | Help us understand traffic, page performance, and general visitor behavior. |
| Marketing | Measure campaigns or deliver more relevant advertising, where used and legally permitted. |
Where required, we request consent before using non-essential cookies. You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality. Browser-based “Do Not Track” signals are not interpreted consistently across the industry; we will respond to legally recognized preference signals where required.
How we share information
We may disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary to:
- Service providers: website hosting, IT support, analytics, email, customer relationship management, cloud storage, payment, translation, and security providers.
- Order and logistics partners: factories, packaging providers, freight forwarders, couriers, customs brokers, insurers, banks, and payment providers involved in a transaction.
- Professional advisers: lawyers, accountants, auditors, consultants, and insurers.
- Authorities and legal recipients: courts, regulators, customs, tax authorities, law enforcement, or other parties when disclosure is required or permitted by law.
- Business transaction parties: prospective or actual buyers, investors, lenders, or advisers in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, sale, or transfer of all or part of our business.
- Other parties at your direction: when you ask us to share information or provide consent.
We require service providers to handle personal information appropriately and use it only for the services they provide to us, subject to applicable contracts and law.
International data transfers
We serve customers internationally. Your personal information may therefore be processed in China and in other countries where our service providers, logistics partners, or business partners operate. Privacy laws in those locations may differ from the laws in your country.
Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as contractual protections, recognized transfer mechanisms, consent, or another lawful basis. You may contact us for more information about safeguards relevant to your information.
Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to complete inquiries and orders, maintain customer relationships, meet accounting or legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce agreements.
Retention periods depend on the type of information, the nature of our relationship, legal requirements, and whether the information is needed to establish or defend legal claims. When information is no longer required, we delete, anonymize, or securely isolate it as appropriate.
Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, secure hosting, encryption in transit where supported, system monitoring, staff controls, and vendor oversight.
No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. Please use care when sending confidential business information and contact us promptly if you believe your communication or information has been compromised.
Your privacy rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion of personal information in certain circumstances.
- Restrict or object to certain processing.
- Receive certain information in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier lawful processing.
- Opt out of direct marketing communications.
- Lodge a complaint with an applicable data protection authority.
California and other U.S. state privacy rights
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights to know, access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information and to opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling. CY Rhinestone does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. If a legally regulated sale or sharing activity applies, we will provide the required choice mechanism.
