Privacy Policy
This policy explains what personal data we collect through this website, why we collect it, how long we keep it and the rights you have over it.
Who we are
Hualingniao is a cut-and-sew clothing manufacturer. For the purposes of data protection law, Hualingniao is the data controller for personal data collected through this website.
Room 3A & 3B, No. 313 Taibao Road Humen Town, Dongguan, Guangdong, China
You can reach us at any time at contact@hlnapparel.com.
What we collect
We collect only what you choose to give us:
- Quote request form — your name, work email, phone / WhatsApp number, company, delivery country, product interest, estimated quantity and project description.
- Correspondence — if you email us or message us on WhatsApp, we keep that conversation and any files you send (such as tech packs) so we can quote and produce your order.
- Server logs — like almost every website, our hosting keeps standard access logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and troubleshooting. These are not used for marketing.
This website has no customer accounts, no comment sections and no newsletter, and we do not run analytics or advertising trackers. See our Cookie Policy for details.
How we use your data
- To reply to your inquiry and prepare fabric options, a sample plan and a quote.
- To make and ship samples and bulk orders you approve.
- To keep a record of our business relationship for accounting and legal purposes.
We do not sell your data, rent it out, or share it with anyone for their own marketing.
Legal bases (EEA and UK visitors)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, we process your data on the following bases under the GDPR:
- Steps towards a contract — handling your quote request, sampling and orders.
- Legitimate interest — keeping business records and securing our website, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
Who we share it with
- Service providers — the companies that host this website and our email, who process data only on our instructions.
- Couriers — DHL, FedEx, UPS or freight forwarders receive your name, company and delivery address when we ship samples or orders to you.
- Google Maps — the factory map on our contact page only loads if you click “Load interactive map”. If you do, your browser connects to Google and shares your IP address; Google’s own privacy policy then applies.
International transfers
Our factory and email systems are located in China, so inquiring with us means your data is transferred to and processed in China. We limit access to the staff who handle your account and protect it with the measures described below.
How long we keep it
Inquiry details are kept while we are actively discussing or producing your work, and afterwards for as long as accounting or product-liability rules require. If an inquiry does not lead to an order, we delete or anonymise it within 24 months.
Your rights
You can ask us at any time to:
- access the personal data we hold about you,
- correct or delete it,
- restrict or object to how we use it, or
- provide a copy in a portable format.
Email contact@hlnapparel.com and we will respond within 30 days. If you are in the EEA or UK and believe we have handled your data unlawfully, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Security
This website is served over HTTPS. Access to inquiry data is restricted to authorised staff, and our content management system requires authenticated access.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle personal data — for example, by adding website analytics — we will update this page and, where the law requires, ask for your consent first.
