4. Who may receive your data
Access is limited to people and service providers who need the information for the purposes described above. These may include:
- authorised personnel working for or on behalf of M/s 7S Sourcing;
- Netlify, which hosts the website and processes website-form submissions, file uploads, spam filtering and configured notifications;
- our business email, hosting, security and technical support providers;
- professional advisers, public authorities or courts where disclosure is legally required or necessary to protect legal rights.
Service providers may use personal data only to provide their services to us and must protect it under their applicable contractual and legal obligations. We do not sell or rent personal data and do not share enquiry data with third parties for their own advertising.
5. International data transfers
M/s 7S Sourcing is established in Bangladesh. If you contact us from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or another country, your data will be transferred to and processed in Bangladesh. Some technical providers may also process data in other countries.
Where data-protection law requires it, we use appropriate contractual, organisational or other lawful safeguards for international transfers. You may contact us to request further information about the safeguards relevant to your data.
6. How long we keep your data
- Enquiries that do not become an active business relationship: normally deleted or anonymised within 12 months after the last meaningful contact.
- Active negotiations, contracts and orders: kept for the duration of the relationship and afterwards for the periods required by applicable accounting, tax, customs and legal-claims rules.
- Reference images: reviewed with the enquiry and deleted when no longer needed for that enquiry, subject to the same maximum period unless they become part of an active project record.
- Technical and security records: kept only for the period reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting and abuse prevention, according to the relevant provider's settings and legal duties.
We may keep specific information longer when required by law, a legal hold or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

When your browser requests those resources, the relevant provider may receive standard technical connection data such as your IP address and user agent. If we introduce non-essential cookies or similar tracking in the future, we will update this notice and, where required, ask for consent before activating them.
