Privacy Policy
Last updated: 24 July 2026
Draft for review. This document is a template and must be reviewed and approved by the business owner and, where appropriate, a qualified legal adviser before the website goes live. It does not constitute legal advice.
This Privacy Policy explains how SKC Trade Link ("we", "us") handles information you provide through this website, in particular when you submit a trade enquiry.
Information we collect
When you submit an enquiry, we collect the details you choose to provide, which may include:
- Your name and company name
- Contact details (phone, email)
- Location (country, state, city)
- Your requirement (commodity, quantity, specification, timeline and related details)
- Your preferred contact method and any message you send
We also record limited technical and marketing-attribution information — the page you submitted from, the referring website, and campaign parameters (such as UTM tags) where present — to understand how enquiries reach us. We record the time you gave consent. We do not store your raw IP address unless a specific legal or operational requirement makes it necessary, in which case it is documented internally.
How we use your information
- To respond to and follow up on your enquiry
- To explore suitable counterparties for your requirement
- To communicate with you about your enquiry
- To maintain records of enquiries and improve our service
We use your information only for the purposes above. We do not sell your personal information.
Sharing information with counterparties
To progress a genuine enquiry, we may share relevant details with prospective counterparties, limited to what is needed to evaluate and advance the transaction, and with professional discretion.
Analytics and cookies
Where configured, we use privacy-conscious analytics to understand website usage. Analytics events never include your personal form-field values. Any cookie or consent requirements applicable to your region should be configured before launch.
Data retention
We retain enquiry records for as long as needed to serve the enquiry and for legitimate business record-keeping, after which they are deleted or anonymised in line with our internal retention configuration.
Your choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have provided, subject to applicable law and our record-keeping obligations. To make a request, contact us using the details on our contact page.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information you submit, including bot protection and server-side validation on our forms. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the latest revision.
