Privacy notice
This notice explains what personal data we collect through this website, why we collect it, who processes it for us, how long we keep it, and the rights you have. Last updated 24 September 2026.
01
Who we are
The controller of your personal data is Trishakti Apparel, Gaida Chowk, Ward-6, Gaindakot, Nawalparasi (East), Gandaki Province, Nepal. For any privacy question or request, email export@trishaktiapparel.com.
02
What we collect
We only collect what you choose to send us, plus the minimum technical data needed to run a secure website.
- Quote form: your name, company, email address, country, WhatsApp number, your message, and any tech packs or files you upload.
- Trade Account signup: your name, company, company website, country, business email, role, WhatsApp number (optional), the products you are interested in and your expected volume.
- Sign-in: when you log in we email you a one-time code; we store the code briefly to check it.
- Technical data: your IP address and browser details are processed by our hosting and anti-spam services to deliver the site and block abuse.
- If you contact us directly by email or WhatsApp, we receive whatever you send through that channel.
03
Why we use it
- To reply to your inquiry and prepare a quote.
- To verify that Trade Account applicants are genuine businesses.
- To show trade prices to verified Trade Account holders.
- To give verified buyers access to our REX number for their customs paperwork.
- To keep the website secure, prevent spam and understand, in aggregate, how the site is used.
04
Our legal bases
Where the EU GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Steps prior to entering a contract — preparing quotes and giving Trade Account holders access to prices, at your request.
- Legitimate interests — replying to business inquiries, verifying buyers, keeping the site secure and measuring site use without cookies.
- Consent — Microsoft Clarity analytics, which only runs if you accept cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
05
Who processes data for us
We do not sell your data or use it for advertising. We use these service providers:
- Cloudflare — website hosting, database and file storage (D1, KV and R2), Turnstile anti-spam checks, and cookieless Web Analytics.
- Resend — sending transactional emails such as one-time codes and inquiry confirmations.
- Ahrefs Web Analytics — cookieless, aggregate site statistics.
- Microsoft Clarity — session analytics, loaded only after you accept cookies.
- Open-Meteo — the Gaindakot weather widget; no personal data is sent.
- The “Need help?” assistant runs in your browser from our own published answers; no AI service is involved. We count which topics are used, and questions it cannot answer are stored anonymously (first 80 characters, no name or email) so we can add answers.
- Google Maps — only if you click “Show map” on the contact page; Google may then set its own cookies. Until you click, nothing is loaded from Google.
- Google — internal storage of our price sheet; your personal data is not sent to Google through this website.
06
How long we keep it
- Leads and Trade Accounts: deleted after 24 months of inactivity.
- Uploaded files (such as tech packs): deleted after 24 months.
- One-time sign-in codes: 10 minutes.
- Login sessions: 30 days.
- If you place an order, contract and invoice records are kept for as long as tax and export law requires.
07
International transfers
Cloudflare, Resend and Microsoft may process data outside the European Economic Area and the UK. Where they do, the transfer is protected by standard contractual clauses (and the UK addendum where relevant).
08
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Have inaccurate data corrected.
- Have your data deleted.
- Object to processing based on our legitimate interests.
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing already carried out.
