Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data GAVIN SOURCING collects when you use this website or contact our team, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It is written to meet the EU GDPR, UK GDPR and California CCPA requirements, and applies to visitors from all regions including the EEA, the United Kingdom and California.

1. Who is responsible for your data

The data controller is Foshan Chief E-Commerce Co., Ltd. (佛山市首席电子商务有限公司), trading as GAVIN SOURCING, an independent furniture sourcing and buying agent based in Longjiang Town, Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China. We work with partner factories and a licensed export partner; we do not operate our own factory.

Privacy questions and requests: gavinwangfoshan@gmail.com · WhatsApp +86 153 2089 3285.

2. What we collect

• Enquiry details — the information you enter in our contact form (name, email address, company, country, product interest and message) and anything you send us by email or WhatsApp.
• Website usage — pages visited, links clicked (including WhatsApp, email and PDF download links), form submissions and approximate location derived from IP address, collected through Google Analytics 4.
• Technical data — IP address, browser type and server request logs held by our hosting provider and its caching layer.
• Consent choice — your analytics preference, stored in your browser’s local storage under gavin_consent_v1.

We do not ask for payment card details on this website and we do not sell personal data.

3. Why we use it and on what legal basis

• To answer your enquiry and provide sourcing services — steps taken at your request before a contract, and performance of that contract.
• To run and improve the website — our legitimate interest in understanding which pages help buyers, and, for analytics cookies, your consent.
• To keep records and meet legal obligations — accounting, export documentation and compliance requirements.

4. Cookies and your consent

When you first visit, analytics storage is set to denied until you choose. Google Analytics cookies are only used if you click Accept analytics; if you click Reject, no analytics cookies are written. We use Google Consent Mode v2 and do not use advertising cookies.

You can change your decision at any time:

Reset cookie choices  (reloads the page and shows the banner again)

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies does not affect your ability to use the site or send an enquiry.

5. Who we share data with

• Hosting and site infrastructure — Hostinger (hosting) and LiteSpeed Cache (page caching) process technical data on our behalf.
• Email and messaging — enquiry notifications are delivered through Gmail SMTP / Google; conversations may take place over WhatsApp Business.
• Analytics — Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC), only after consent.
• Order fulfilment — where you place an order, the minimum information necessary is shared with partner factories and our licensed export partner / customs broker to produce and ship your goods.

These providers act on our instructions or as independent controllers under their own terms. We do not share data with advertising networks.

6. International transfers

We are based in China. Some providers (Google, WhatsApp) may process data outside China and outside the EEA/UK. Where required, we rely on the transfer safeguards those providers put in place, including standard contractual clauses, and on the limited set of data actually transferred.

7. How long we keep it

Enquiry correspondence is kept for as long as the business relationship continues and for a reasonable period afterwards to handle repeat orders, disputes and legal obligations. Analytics data is retained according to our Google Analytics retention setting and is then deleted or aggregated. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostics.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may ask us to:

• access, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you;
• restrict or object to our processing, or receive a portable copy;
• withdraw consent to analytics at any time (this does not affect processing already carried out);
• lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Under California law you also have the right to know, delete and opt out of sale or sharing — we do not sell or share personal data for advertising.

Email gavinwangfoshan@gmail.com and we will respond to your request. We may need to verify your identity first.

9. Security and children

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including HTTPS and restricted access to enquiry records. This website is intended for business buyers and is not directed at children under 16; we do not knowingly collect their data.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our services or legal requirements change. The revised version will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes will be highlighted on the website.
