Privacy policy
Last updated: November 2, 2026.
1. Who we are
RedSeal Sourcing ("we") is responsible for the personal data described in this policy.
Contact for any privacy question: contact@redsealsourcing.com.
2. Data we collect
When you fill in one of our forms (including lead forms on Facebook and Instagram), email us or message us on WhatsApp, we collect:
- your name, email address and phone / WhatsApp number;
- your company or store name and website link;
- business information you share: order volume, main markets, product categories and best-sellers, current purchase prices and suppliers, IOSS status, challenges and timing;
- the content of our exchanges.
3. Why we use it and on what legal basis
- To answer your quote request and prepare an offer — steps taken at your request before a contract (GDPR art. 6(1)(b)).
- To follow up on your request and send you related business information — our legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f)). You can object at any time.
- To manage orders, invoicing and accounting if you become a client — contract and legal obligations (art. 6(1)(b) and (c)).
4. Who receives it
Your data is only shared with people who need it to serve you: our team, and our sourcing, quality-control and logistics partners in China, solely to prepare your quote and fulfil your orders. Technical providers process data on our behalf: Meta Platforms Ireland (lead forms on Facebook and Instagram), Netlify (website hosting and our quote form), Cloudflare (domain name and email routing), Google (email), WhatsApp (messaging) and, only if you accept cookies, Microsoft (Clarity analytics). We never sell your data.
5. Transfers outside the EU
Some recipients are located outside the European Union (China, United States). These transfers are covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or, for certified US providers, by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
6. How long we keep it
- Prospects: 3 years after our last contact.
- Clients: for the duration of our business relationship, then as required by law (accounting documents: 10 years).
7. Your rights
You can access, correct or delete your data, restrict or object to its use, and ask for a copy (portability) by writing to contact@redsealsourcing.com. We answer within one month. You can also lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL (www.cnil.fr).
