Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

Effective: 1 January 2026 · Last updated: 12 May 2026.

1. Introduction

Zhejiang Hongce Cable Co., Ltd. ("Hongce Cable", "we", "us", or "our") operates the website www.hongcecables.com (the "Website"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you interact with the Website, how we use that information, how long we keep it, with whom we share it, and what rights you have over your information.

We are committed to handling personal information in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China and the data-protection laws of the countries where our customers operate, including but not limited to Indonesia (UU PDP 2022), Vietnam (PDPD 2023), Singapore (PDPA), Thailand (PDPA), Malaysia (PDPA), and the Philippines (Data Privacy Act 2012).

By submitting an inquiry, contacting us, or otherwise using this Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information in the following situations:

(a) Information you provide directly. When you submit an inquiry, request a quote, or contact us through any form on the Website, you provide us with your name, company name, business email address, phone number, country, and the content of the message you write to us. Providing this information is voluntary, but without it we cannot respond to your inquiry.

(b) Information collected automatically. When you visit the Website, our servers automatically receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the page you came from (referrer), the pages you view on our site, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used for security, fraud prevention, and aggregate traffic analysis.

(c) Cookies. The Website uses only essential first-party cookies required for security (CSRF protection) and to maintain a user session if you log in to the CMS. We do not use advertising cookies. If we ever add analytics cookies (for example, Google Analytics 4), we will update this Policy and request your consent before activation.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (such as government ID numbers, financial account numbers, biometric data, health data, religious affiliation, or political opinions) through this Website. Please do not include such information in your inquiry message.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only for the following purposes:

— To respond to your inquiry, prepare a technical proposal or quotation, and arrange follow-up communication (sales calls, video meetings, sample shipments).

— To send you transactional emails relating to a project we are working on together (order confirmations, shipping updates, test reports).

— To improve the Website's content, navigation, and user experience based on aggregate, non-personal traffic patterns.

— To detect, prevent, and respond to abuse of the Website (spam, security incidents, attempted unauthorised access).

— To comply with applicable legal obligations and to enforce our Terms of Service.

We do NOT use your information for unsolicited marketing emails, profile-based advertising, or sale to third parties.

4. How We Store and Protect Your Data

Personal information collected through the Website is stored in:

— An encrypted PostgreSQL database hosted on a Vultr Singapore data center, accessible only to authorised Hongce Cable staff over TLS.

— Cloudflare R2 object storage (for any documents or images you may upload), located in Cloudflare's global edge network, encrypted at rest.

We retain inquiry data for twenty-four (24) months from the date of submission, after which records are either archived in restricted-access form or deleted, unless we are required to retain them longer for tax, accounting, or legal reasons.

Server access logs (containing IP addresses) are kept for ninety (90) days for security and troubleshooting, then automatically rotated.

We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including TLS encryption for data in transit, encryption at rest, role-based access control for CMS users, and regular security patching of our infrastructure. No system, however, is perfectly secure; if you suspect a security incident involving your data, please contact us immediately.

5. Sharing with Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

(a) Service providers. We use a small number of trusted vendors to operate the Website and our business. Each receives only the minimum data needed to perform their task: • Cloudflare, Inc. — CDN, DNS, and DDoS protection (United States; receives IP and request metadata). • Resend (Resend, Inc.) — outbound email delivery for inquiry notifications to our sales team (United States; receives your email address and inquiry content). • Vultr (The Constant Company, LLC) — server hosting (Singapore). • Google reCAPTCHA — bot detection on the inquiry form (United States; receives a verification token and your IP).

(b) Legal obligations. We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect the legal rights and safety of Hongce Cable, our employees, or the public.

(c) Business transfers. If Hongce Cable undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same protections set out in this Policy.

6. International Data Transfers

Because Hongce Cable serves customers across Southeast Asia from a China-based headquarters and uses internationally hosted infrastructure, your personal information may be processed in jurisdictions other than the one where you provided it (typically Singapore, the United States, and China).

Where required by applicable law, we rely on appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers, including contractual commitments from our service providers to protect your data to a standard at least equivalent to that of your country of residence. If you have questions about how your data is transferred, please contact us at the address below.

7. Your Rights

Depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, you may have one or more of the following rights regarding your personal information:

— The right to know what personal information we hold about you.

— The right to request a copy of that information.

— The right to correct inaccurate information.

— The right to request deletion of your information (subject to our legal retention obligations).

— The right to object to or restrict certain types of processing.

— The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

— The right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us at admin@hongcecable.com with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. We will verify your identity (typically by replying from the email address you used to submit the original inquiry) and respond within thirty (30) days.

8. Children's Privacy

The Website is intended for business-to-business users and is not directed at individuals under the age of eighteen (18). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a minor, we will delete that information as soon as practicable.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, applicable laws, or for other operational reasons. When we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or through a notice on the Website. Your continued use of the Website after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
