Detailed information about our use of cookies is available in the Cookies and Tracking Technologies section below.

Third-Party Sources: In limited circumstances, we may receive information about you from third-party service providers, analytics partners, or publicly available sources. For example, our website hosting provider and analytics tools may provide aggregated usage statistics. We ensure that any third party from whom we receive data has obtained it lawfully and has the right to share it with us.

Use of Collected Information

We use the information we collect for specific, legitimate business purposes. Every use of your data is grounded in a lawful basis, whether it is your consent, the performance of a contract, our legitimate business interests, or compliance with legal obligations. The following outlines how we utilize the information we gather.

Service Delivery and Communication: Your contact information enables us to respond to your inquiries, provide quotes for our services, send project-related updates, and maintain our professional relationship. We use your email address and phone number to communicate with you about your projects, answer technical questions, and keep you informed about our services.

Website Improvement and Analytics: Technical and usage data helps us understand how visitors interact with our website. We analyze page views, navigation patterns, and device information to identify areas for improvement, fix performance issues, and enhance the overall user experience. This analysis is typically conducted on an aggregated basis.

Legal Compliance and Protection: We may use your information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes. This includes responding to lawful requests from government authorities, enforcing our Terms of Service, protecting our rights and the rights of others, and preventing fraud or other illegal activities.

Business Operations: Information about our business relationships, including contract details and billing information, is used to manage accounts, process payments, maintain financial records, and conduct internal business analysis. This supports the efficient operation of our company and helps us serve our clients better.

Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. However, we may share your information in the circumstances described below. We carefully evaluate each sharing arrangement to ensure it aligns with our privacy commitments and applicable data protection laws.

Service Providers and Partners: We engage trusted third-party companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data analytics, email delivery, and payment processing. These service providers have access to personal information only as necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests from public authorities, including courts, government agencies, or law enforcement. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of such disclosure unless prohibited by law or in emergency circumstances.

Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via prominent notice on our website and by email if such a transfer results in a material change to the way your data is handled.

With Your Consent: We may share your information for purposes not described in this policy if we obtain your explicit consent to do so. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, although withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted before the withdrawal.

Data Storage and Security Measures

Protecting your personal information is a fundamental priority for StoneRed. We implement and maintain a comprehensive set of technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our security practices are regularly reviewed and updated to address evolving threats.

Technical Safeguards: We employ industry-standard encryption technologies to protect data during transmission and at rest. Our website uses HTTPS to secure communications between your browser and our servers. Access to our systems is protected by strong authentication mechanisms, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems. We conduct regular security assessments and vulnerability scans to identify and remediate potential weaknesses.

Administrative Safeguards: Access to personal information is restricted to authorized personnel who require it to perform their job functions. All employees and contractors receive privacy and security training and are bound by confidentiality obligations. We maintain detailed access logs and conduct periodic audits to ensure compliance with our security policies.

Physical Safeguards: Our servers and infrastructure are hosted in secure facilities with controlled access, environmental protections, and backup power systems. Physical security measures include surveillance, access controls, and disaster recovery protocols to prevent unauthorized physical access to data storage systems.

Despite our best efforts, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information using commercially acceptable means, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to take steps to protect your own information, such as using strong passwords and keeping your devices secure.

Data Retention Policy

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our retention periods are determined based on the nature of the data, the purposes of processing, and our legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Contact and Communication Data: Information provided through our contact forms, emails, and other communications is typically retained for the duration of our business relationship plus a reasonable period thereafter. This allows us to maintain context for ongoing discussions and provide consistent support. If a communication does not lead to a business relationship, we may retain the data for up to two years for reference purposes before securely deleting it.

Technical and Usage Data: Server logs and analytics data are retained on a rolling basis, typically for a period of twelve to twenty-four months. Aggregated and anonymized data derived from these logs may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes, as it cannot be linked back to any individual.

Legal and Financial Records: Information required for legal compliance, tax purposes, or financial reporting is retained for the period mandated by applicable laws and regulations. Once the required retention period expires, such records are securely disposed of in accordance with our data destruction procedures.

Your Rights and Choices

You have certain rights regarding the personal information we hold about you. We are committed to honoring these rights and will respond to your requests in a timely manner, typically within thirty days. The specific rights available to you may vary depending on your jurisdiction, but we strive to provide a consistent and fair approach to all users.

Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. Upon receiving a verifiable request, we will provide you with details about the categories of data we process, the purposes of processing, and the recipients with whom we share your data.

Right to Rectification: If you believe that the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or update it. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that your data remains accurate and up to date.

Right to Deletion: In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal information. We will evaluate your request against our legal obligations and legitimate business needs. Where deletion is not possible, we will explain the reasons and work with you to find an acceptable alternative.

Right to Restrict Processing: You may request that we limit the processing of your personal information under specific conditions, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to its processing. During the restriction period, we will store your data but will not otherwise process it without your consent.

Right to Data Portability: Where technically feasible, you have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have that data transmitted to another controller.

Marketing Communications: If you receive marketing communications from us, you may opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in each message or by contacting us directly. Please note that even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send you transactional or service-related communications.

Privacy for Children

Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of sixteen. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under sixteen years of age. Protecting the privacy of young people is of utmost importance to us, and we have designed our data collection practices with this principle in mind.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of sixteen without verifiable parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children online activities and to instruct them never to provide personal information through websites without permission.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately using the contact details provided in this policy. We will work diligently to address the situation and remove any information that may have been collected.

We comply with applicable laws regarding the collection of information from minors, including the Children Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States and similar regulations in other jurisdictions. Our commitment to protecting children extends beyond legal compliance to include ethical considerations in the design and operation of our digital services.

International Data Transfers

StoneRed is operated by Kunming Shiqinhong Trading Co., Ltd., which is based in China. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in China and other countries where our service providers maintain facilities. These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country of residence.

When we transfer personal information across international borders, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that your data receives an adequate level of protection. These safeguards may include standard contractual clauses approved by relevant data protection authorities, binding corporate rules, or other legally recognized mechanisms designed to protect your privacy rights.

By using our website and providing your information to us, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your data to countries outside your country of residence. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, regardless of where it is processed.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar data transfer restrictions, we want you to know that we are committed to working with you to address any concerns about international data transfers. Please reach out to us if you would like more information about the specific safeguards we have in place.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and understand where our visitors come from. This section explains what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use.

What Are Cookies: Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be session-based, meaning they expire when you close your browser, or persistent, meaning they remain on your device for a set period.

Types of Cookies We Use: We use essential cookies that are necessary for the website to function properly, such as maintaining your session state. We may also use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use our site, including which pages are most frequently visited and how users navigate through the content. This information helps us improve our website design and content.

Managing Cookies: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can typically configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website and limit your ability to use certain features. For more information about managing cookies, consult the help documentation for your specific browser.

Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, plugins, and services that are not operated or controlled by StoneRed or Kunming Shiqinhong Trading Co., Ltd. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of these third parties. We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of every third-party website or service you visit or use. When you click on a link to a third-party site, you will be leaving our website, and any information you provide to that third party will be governed by their own privacy practices, not ours.

We may use third-party service providers to assist with various aspects of our operations, including web hosting, email communication, and data analytics. These providers are carefully selected and are required to adhere to privacy and security standards consistent with this policy. We enter into data processing agreements with our service providers to ensure that your information is handled appropriately.

If you have concerns about a third-party service linked from our website, please contact us and we will investigate the matter. We reserve the right to remove links to third-party services at any time if we determine that they do not meet our standards for privacy and security.

Do Not Track Signals

Do Not Track (DNT) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you enable the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, and other web services you encounter while browsing.

At this time, our website does not respond to Do Not Track signals sent by web browsers. While we respect your privacy preferences, there is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should interpret and respond to DNT signals. We continue to monitor developments in this area and may update our practices as industry standards evolve.

You can learn more about Do Not Track and how to enable it in your browser by visiting the websites of major browser developers. In the meantime, you can exercise control over tracking through the cookie management options described in the Cookies and Tracking Technologies section of this policy.

California Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other applicable California privacy laws. This section outlines those rights and explains how you can exercise them with respect to the personal information we hold.

Under the CCPA, California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell. As stated throughout this policy, we do not sell personal information. You have the right to request access to the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the preceding twelve months, as well as information about the categories of personal information collected, the sources of that information, the business purposes for collection, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.

You also have the right to request that we delete any personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. This means we will not deny you services, charge different prices, or provide a different quality of service because you chose to exercise your privacy rights.

To exercise your California privacy rights, please contact us using the information provided in the How to Contact Us section. We will verify your identity before processing your request, which may require you to provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably confirm that you are the person about whom we collected personal information.
