4. Legal Basis for Processing

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom or Switzerland, we process your personal data under the following lawful bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Consent — when you submit our contact form, you consent to us processing the data you provide to respond to your enquiry.
• Legitimate interests — to respond to communications, maintain website security, and improve our services, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Contractual necessity — where processing is required to take steps before entering into a supply agreement with you.

5. Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We may share your data only in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers: trusted third parties who help us operate the website or our business (e.g. hosting, email delivery, analytics), under contractual obligations of confidentiality.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the site but will not prevent you from viewing our content or contacting us.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to respond to your enquiry, maintain business records, or comply with legal obligations.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These include secure hosting, access controls and encryption in transit. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Data Transfers

As we serve customers in Europe and the Middle East, your information may be transferred to and processed in Malaysia or other countries where we or our service providers operate.
