Information We Collect
We may collect a contact person's name, business email, telephone or WhatsApp number, company, country, product requirements, specifications, quantities, destinations, messages, documents, correspondence, consent preferences, and technical security information such as IP address, browser type, timestamps, and request logs.
Sources of Information
We normally obtain information directly from you through the RFQ form, email, telephone, WhatsApp, meetings, or documents you provide. We may also receive business contact information from your employer, representative, transaction participants, service providers, or legitimate public business sources.
Purposes and Legal Bases
We process information to respond to inquiries, assess supply requirements, prepare quotations, conduct due diligence, coordinate suppliers and logistics, manage transactions, maintain records, secure the website, prevent misuse, comply with law, and establish or defend legal claims. Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, processing may be necessary for pre-contractual steps or a contract, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate business interests, or consent where consent is required.
Recipients and Service Providers
Information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with hosting and email providers, professional advisers, compliance providers, suppliers, manufacturers, laboratories, inspectors, freight forwarders, carriers, terminals, banks, insurers, authorities, and other parties involved in evaluating or performing a requested transaction. Crude Link does not sell personal information.
International Processing
Our operations and service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, Crude Link will use an appropriate lawful mechanism and proportionate contractual or organisational protections.
Retention
Inquiry and transaction information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including follow-up, contractual, accounting, compliance, dispute, security, and legal-record requirements. Retention periods vary according to the relationship, document type, applicable law, and whether a transaction proceeds. Information is deleted, anonymised, or securely restricted when it is no longer required.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, loss, misuse, or disclosure. Access is limited according to business need. No internet service, email system, or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your Privacy Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to be informed, access or obtain a copy, correct inaccurate information, request deletion or restriction, object to certain processing, receive portable information, and withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. You may also have the right to complain to the competent data-protection authority. Rights are not absolute and identity verification may be required.
Marketing and Automated Decisions
We do not use RFQ information for unrelated mass marketing without an appropriate basis. We do not make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects solely through automated processing or profiling.
Children
This business-to-business website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly request personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us so it can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.
