Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information handled by Unique Trade Line through this website and in connection with inquiries, business development, apparel sourcing, product development, sampling, production coordination, quality assurance, commercial coordination, logistics support, and related business communications.

It does not automatically govern the independent privacy practices of factories, suppliers, laboratories, logistics providers, banks, or third-party websites. Those parties may have their own legal responsibilities and privacy notices.

For information collected through this website and our direct business communications, Unique Trade Line is generally the party deciding why and how the information is used, unless a specific commercial arrangement states otherwise.

Privacy questions and rights requests can be sent to info@uniquetradeline.com.

The information we collect depends on how you interact with us. It may include:

• Identity and contact information such as name, business name, job title, email address, telephone number, country, and other contact details you provide.
• Inquiry and business information such as product category, quantities, target pricing, timing, destination market, sourcing requirements, and messages submitted to us.
• Order and development information such as tech packs, designs, specifications, measurements, artwork, sample comments, quality standards, shipment details, commercial documents, and related correspondence.
• Transaction and administrative information such as quotations, invoices, payment status, banking references, tax or compliance records where relevant to a legitimate business transaction. We do not ask you to send unnecessary payment-card credentials through ordinary website forms.
• Technical information generated when you use the website, such as IP address, browser or device information, approximate location derived from network information, pages viewed, referral information, and security or diagnostic logs, where such data is collected by our hosting or website infrastructure.
• Communication records, including emails, calls, messages, meeting notes, approvals, and other correspondence needed to manage a business relationship.

We may use information to:

• Respond to inquiries and understand buyer requirements.
• Prepare sourcing proposals, quotations, samples, development plans, and order-management workflows.
• Coordinate with relevant factories, suppliers, testing laboratories, logistics providers, banks, or professional advisers where necessary for an approved business purpose.
• Manage production follow-up, quality assurance, shipment coordination, commercial documentation, after-sales support, and business records.
• Authenticate communications, prevent fraud, protect our systems, investigate security issues, and enforce our legal rights.
• Improve website functionality, service quality, internal reporting, and operational processes using appropriate business or technical information.
• Comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting, customs, sanctions, regulatory, or lawful government requirements.
• Send relevant business updates or marketing communications where permitted by law and consistent with your communication preferences.

Depending on the applicable privacy law and the context, we may rely on one or more recognized legal bases for processing personal information. These can include performing or taking steps toward a contract, complying with a legal obligation, pursuing legitimate business interests that do not override individual rights, or consent where consent is required.

For example, responding to a sourcing inquiry may be necessary to take steps requested before a contract; maintaining order and accounting records may be necessary for contractual, legal, or legitimate business purposes; and optional marketing or non-essential tracking may require consent in jurisdictions where the law requires it.

You can also control many cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect certain website functions.

We do not disclose personal information indiscriminately. We may share information with categories of recipients that need it for a legitimate business, contractual, operational, security, or legal purpose, including:

• Our authorized personnel and advisers.
• Factories, material suppliers, sample makers, testing laboratories, quality or inspection providers, and other sourcing partners involved in a relevant inquiry or order.
• Freight forwarders, carriers, customs or trade-support providers, and other logistics partners needed for shipment.
• Website hosting, cloud, email, cybersecurity, communications, analytics, or other technology providers that process information on our behalf where used.
• Banks, accountants, auditors, insurers, professional advisers, or authorities where necessary for payment, recordkeeping, legal compliance, claims, or risk management.
• A successor or transaction party in connection with a lawful business reorganization, merger, financing, acquisition, or transfer, subject to appropriate safeguards.

We aim to share only information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose and to use appropriate contractual or practical protections where required.

Unique Trade Line operates in Bangladesh and serves international buyers. As a result, personal and business information may be accessed, stored, or processed in Bangladesh and in other countries where buyers, suppliers, service providers, cloud providers, logistics partners, or professional advisers operate.

Where applicable law requires additional safeguards for an international transfer, we will use an appropriate legal mechanism or safeguard suitable to the circumstances.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including managing inquiries and orders, maintaining business and accounting records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, meeting legal or regulatory requirements, and maintaining security records.

Retention periods vary by record type, legal requirement, project status, and business need. Information that is no longer required should be deleted, anonymized, or securely archived in accordance with our operational and legal requirements.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Appropriate measures may include access controls, account security, vendor management, backups, secure communication practices, and staff awareness measures depending on the system and information.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please avoid sending unnecessary passwords, full payment-card credentials, or other highly sensitive information through ordinary email or public website forms.

Depending on where you live and which privacy law applies, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These can include rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection to certain processing, withdrawal of consent, or information about how data is used and shared.

Some rights are subject to legal exceptions, verification, record- retention duties, or other lawful grounds. We may ask for reasonable information to verify your identity and authority before processing a request.

If we send optional marketing communications, you may ask us to stop by using the unsubscribe method provided in the message, where available, or by contacting us. We may still send necessary transactional or service-related communications concerning an active inquiry, order, payment, quality matter, shipment, legal notice, or security issue.

Unique Trade Line does not operate a business model based on selling personal information for money. If a privacy law that applies to us gives individuals a right to opt out of a legally defined "sale" or "sharing" activity, and our practices fall within that definition, we will provide the required mechanism and honor valid requests as required by that law.

Our website and sourcing services are intended for businesses and professional users, not children. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children for commercial sourcing activities. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the matter.

Our website may link to third-party websites, platforms, maps, social networks, logistics services, certification bodies, or other external resources. Their privacy practices are controlled by those third parties. You should review their privacy notices before providing information to them.

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services, technology, business practices, or legal obligations change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice before materially different processing begins.
