This policy describes what personal data Global StockLot collects through this website and WhatsApp, why, and what rights visitors have. It is a plain statement of our practice and is not legal advice.
Who are we?
Global StockLot is a Bangladesh-based men's wear manufacturer and sourcing partner, operating from House 02, Road 10, Sector 09, Uttara, Dhaka. We decide how the data described here is used.
Questions about this policy go to us on WhatsApp at +8801616989909 or through the contact page. The about page describes the company.
What data do we collect?
We collect inquiry-form data, analytics and cookie data, server logs, and WhatsApp messages. We collect only what visitors submit or what their browser sends automatically.
| Source | Data | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Inquiry form | Name, company, email, phone, country, message, products and quantities | Respond to the inquiry and prepare a quotation |
| Phone number, profile name, messages and files sent | Conduct the conversation and manage the order | |
| Analytics cookies | Pages viewed, referral source, device and browser type, approximate location | Understand how the site is used |
| Visitor logs | IP address, timestamps, requested pages, user agent | Operate and secure the site |
How do we use inquiry-form data?
We use it to reply, to quote, and to administer any resulting order. We do not sell it. We do not use it for unrelated marketing without the visitor's agreement.
Inquiry details are visible to our sales team and to staff who prepare quotations. Where an order requires a third party, such as a freight forwarder or a supplier in our sourcing network, we share the minimum needed to fulfil the order.
What are analytics cookies and visitor logs?
Analytics cookies are small files that record how visitors use the site. Visitor logs are server records of each request. Both are used to measure traffic, fix errors and protect the site.
Visitors turn off cookies in their browser settings, and the site continues to work. Analytics tools are configured to measure aggregate use, and we do not use them to identify individual visitors by name.
How does WhatsApp contact work?
Messaging +8801616989909 on WhatsApp passes the message through WhatsApp's own service, which applies its own privacy policy. We see the number, name and content the sender provides.
We keep order-related conversations as business records. WhatsApp's terms and privacy policy govern the transport of messages, and visitors who prefer not to use WhatsApp contact us through the form.
How long do we keep data?
We keep data for as long as needed to answer the inquiry and manage any commercial relationship, plus any period required for accounting or legal records. Afterwards it is deleted or anonymised.
Analytics data is retained in aggregate form. Server logs are kept for security and troubleshooting and are rotated on a regular schedule.
What rights do visitors have?
Visitors have the right to request access to, correction of or deletion of the personal data we hold about them, and to object to our use of it. Send the request through WhatsApp or the contact page.
Depending on the visitor's country, further rights apply under local law, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation. We respond to verified requests and tell the visitor if a legal record-keeping duty prevents deletion.
How do we protect data?
Access to inquiry data is limited to staff who need it, and the site is served over HTTPS. No transmission over the internet is completely secure, so visitors avoid sending sensitive personal information through the form.
Does this policy change?
Yes. We update it when our practice or the law changes, and the date at the top shows the latest revision. Continued use of the site after an update means acceptance of the revised policy.
The terms of use apply alongside this policy.
