Privacy Notice
How PoolProject handles website, analytics, and WhatsApp contact data.
Last updated: 2026-08-12
Who is responsible for this notice
PoolProject is a project-supply website for business buyers. The legal entity responsible for this website and acting as data controller is:
- Legal entity: Foshan Haochang Hardware Products Co., Ltd. (佛山市皓锠五金制品有限公司)
- Registered address: No. 18 Jiangcun Industrial Avenue, Leliu Subdistrict, Shunde District, Foshan, Guangdong, China
- Email: [email protected]
This notice describes the website as currently designed. It does not replace any privacy terms supplied with a later quotation, contract, or third-party service.
Information the website may process
- Basic technical request data, such as IP address, browser, device, language, requested page, timestamp, and security logs.
- Consent and preference records where a cookie or analytics consent tool is enabled.
- Page-level analytics and advertising attribution data where those services are configured and permitted, including page path, referrer, campaign parameters, and WhatsApp CTA position or offer code.
- Information you choose to send after opening WhatsApp. The website can prepare a message containing a page or offer reference, but you review and send that message in WhatsApp.
The public website does not provide an on-site quotation form, customer account, or file-upload workflow. Do not send confidential drawings, identity documents, payment details, or other sensitive information unless an authorized representative has confirmed an appropriate channel and purpose.
Why information is used
Information may be used to deliver and secure the website, remember consent choices, understand page performance, attribute campaign and WhatsApp enquiries, respond to messages, prepare requested commercial information, and meet applicable legal obligations.
The lawful basis used for a particular activity depends on the applicable law and context. It may include consent, steps requested before a contract, legitimate interests in operating a secure B2B website, or a legal obligation.
WhatsApp and other recipients
Selecting a WhatsApp CTA opens a third-party service. WhatsApp and its related companies process data under their own terms and privacy notices. PoolProject does not control that processing.
Website hosting, security, analytics, advertising, and technical service providers may process limited data on instructions from the responsible company when those services are enabled. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or during a legitimate corporate transaction. A current provider list is not yet published.
International transfers and retention
Website and messaging providers may process data in countries other than yours. Where required by applicable law, Foshan Haochang Hardware Products Co., Ltd. will rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism or contractual safeguards. The provider's own privacy notice may provide additional information about its processing locations and safeguards.
Data is kept only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes above, website security, responding to enquiries, dispute handling, and applicable legal recordkeeping. Retention therefore varies by the type of record and the legal or operational reason for keeping it; data is deleted or anonymized when it is no longer required, where reasonably practicable.
Your choices and rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent. You can also avoid opening WhatsApp, remove optional text before sending, and use available browser or consent controls for optional cookies.
Privacy requests can be sent to [email protected]. We will respond within the period required by the law applicable to the request. If that law gives you the right to complain to a data-protection or other supervisory authority, you may contact the authority responsible for your place of residence, work, or the alleged infringement.
Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small piece of data stored by a browser; similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, and server-side event records. The technologies actually present depend on the services configured for the site and the choices available in your region. They fall into four categories:
- Strictly necessary — routing, language selection, security, load management, and remembering a privacy choice. Used only to the extent needed to provide the requested website service.
- Preferences — remembering choices such as language or interface settings; where required by law, used only after the required choice or consent.
- Analytics — measuring page views, referrers, device characteristics, navigation, and WhatsApp CTA interactions; not activated before required consent.
- Advertising and attribution — if configured, recording campaign parameters, conversions, and audiences subject to applicable consent. A WhatsApp click event may include the page path, CTA position, and a source or offer code, but not the message you later type in WhatsApp.
Use any consent controls displayed on the website to accept, reject, or change optional categories, or use browser settings to delete or block stored data. Blocking necessary storage or language preferences can affect how the website works. The technologies in use may change when service settings change; the consent controls displayed on the website identify the optional categories currently available to you.
Children and changes
The website is intended for business project enquiries and is not directed to children. This notice may be updated when providers, analytics configuration, or processing activities change. The date above identifies the current version.
