We will not use your personal data for purposes beyond those listed above without first obtaining your consent.

4. Retention of Your Personal Data

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable law. Enquiry and contact form records are typically held for up to 24 months from the date of submission. Usage data collected automatically is generally retained for a shorter period unless required for security or legal purposes.

Once data is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymise it.

5. Transfer of Your Personal Data

Your information may be processed on servers located outside your state or country. By submitting your details through our Website, you consent to this transfer. Where your data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure it is handled securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

As part of the Alibaba.com onboarding and Gold Supplier verification process, certain business and contact information is shared with Alibaba.com in accordance with their platform requirements and privacy practices. We encourage you to review Alibaba.com's Privacy Policy to understand how they handle your data.

6. Delete Your Personal Data

You have the right to request that we delete the personal data we hold about you. To make such a request, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy. We will fulfil your request within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law or is necessary to protect our legitimate business interests.

Please note that data already shared with Alibaba.com as part of a membership or verification process may be subject to their own data retention policies.

7. Disclosure of Your Personal Data

We may disclose your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Business operations: We may share data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our Website and delivering our services. These parties are required to keep your information confidential and may not use it for their own purposes.
  • Alibaba.com platform: Information necessary for account setup and verification is shared with Alibaba.com as part of the Gold Supplier membership process.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose your data if required to do so by law, court order, or government authority, or if we believe such action is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Suryan, our clients, or the public.
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

8. Security of Your Personal Data

The security of your personal data is important to us. We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Our Website and services are directed at businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it from our records.
