When you use the Sourced Distribution platform or submit an inquiry, we may collect information you provide directly, including your name, job title, company name, business email address, phone number, country, and any details you include in product or sourcing requests.

We also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected through standard server logs and analytics tools.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals acting in a consumer capacity. Our Services are intended exclusively for business-to-business use.

We use the information we collect to respond to your product inquiries and sourcing requests, to provide quotations, process orders, and communicate with you throughout the sourcing and fulfilment process.

We may also use your information to send you relevant updates about new products, supplier availability, or market trends — but only where you have provided consent or where we have a legitimate business interest in doing so.

Your information may be used to improve and optimise our platform, to monitor for fraud or misuse, to comply with legal obligations, and to enforce our Terms and Conditions.

Sourced Distribution does not sell, rent, or trade your personal or business information to third parties for marketing purposes.

We may share your information with trusted supplier partners and logistics providers where necessary to fulfil a sourcing request or order. Such sharing is limited to the information required to complete the transaction, and partners are required to handle it with appropriate confidentiality.

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government regulation, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Sourced Distribution, our clients, or others.

We retain business contact information and transaction records for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by applicable legal, accounting, or regulatory obligations.

Inquiry data from prospective clients who did not proceed to an active business relationship is generally retained for up to 24 months, after which it is reviewed for deletion or anonymisation.

You may request deletion of your information at any time, subject to any legal obligations we have to retain certain records.

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyse site traffic, and understand how visitors interact with our content. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.

We use essential cookies required for the website to function properly, and analytics cookies that help us understand usage patterns. We do not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the website.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of information we hold about you.

You may also have the right to object to or restrict certain types of processing, or to request a portable copy of information you have provided to us.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details at the end of this Policy. We will respond to requests within the timeframe required by applicable law.

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in any email we send, or by contacting us directly.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include encrypted data transmission, access controls, and regular security reviews.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If we become aware of a data security incident that is likely to affect your rights or interests, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

Sourced Distribution operates internationally and works with supplier networks across multiple regions. As a result, information you provide may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection laws.

Where such transfers occur, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with applicable privacy regulations.

Our platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources. These links are provided for convenience only and do not imply endorsement. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of those sites and accept no responsibility for them.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. We will indicate the date of the most recent update at the top of this page.

Where changes are material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you, such as by displaying a notice on our website. Your continued use of our Services after the effective date of any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the way we handle your information, please reach out through our contact page or by emailing hello@sourceddistribution.com.

We are committed to resolving data privacy concerns promptly and transparently.
