We operate this website primarily to provide product information and to receive purchase inquiries from potential business customers worldwide. We do not sell goods or services directly to consumers.

The personal data we collect is limited to what you voluntarily provide when contacting us, and is used solely for responding to your business inquiries. We do not sell, rent or otherwise trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Data You Provide Directly

When you submit an inquiry form on our website, we collect the following information:

• Full name — to address you correctly in correspondence.
• Business email address — to send you a quotation or technical proposal.
• Phone number / WhatsApp — to follow up by voice or instant message if needed.
• Country — to determine applicable shipping regulations and freight routing.
• Message / requirements — your target BPH, bottle size, beverage type and any other specifications you choose to share.

2.2 Data Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, our server and third-party analytics tools may automatically collect:

• IP address and approximate geographic location (country/city level).
• Browser type, version and operating system.
• Pages visited, time on page and referring URL.

This technical data is used in aggregate form only and is not linked to any identified individual unless required for fraud prevention or legal compliance.

• Legal compliance — retaining records as required by applicable Chinese law and international trade regulations.

We will not use your data to send unsolicited marketing emails. Any follow-up communication will be directly related to your inquiry or an existing business relationship.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or equivalent data protection laws apply to you, we process your personal data on the following lawful bases:

• Contractual necessity — processing required to respond to your inquiry and, if applicable, fulfil a purchase contract.
• Legitimate interests — improving our website and services, and maintaining records of business communications, where these interests do not override your privacy rights.
• Legal obligation — retaining transaction records in compliance with applicable accounting and trade laws.
• Consent — for any optional communications you explicitly opt into.

5. Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website (e.g. web hosting, email delivery), bound by confidentiality agreements.
• Freight and customs agents — for confirmed orders, shipping-related information may be shared with freight forwarders or customs brokers to facilitate export documentation.
• Legal authorities — if required to comply with a court order, government request or applicable law.

All third-party service providers are contractually required to process your data only for the purposes for which it was shared and in accordance with this policy.
