Privacy Policy
What we collect when you use this site, why we collect it, and the choices you have. In short: we ask only for what is needed to quote and ship your order, and we never sell your data.
Who we are
BOSTO MOTOR operates this website and is responsible for the personal data described in this policy. Our registered address is Building 6, Baoan Industrial Park, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. For any question about this policy or about your data, write to sales@bostomotion.com.
What we collect
We collect only the information needed to answer your inquiry and deliver your order.
- Details you enter yourself — contact name, business email, company or consignee name and delivery address. A tax ID, VAT or EORI number is optional at inquiry stage.
- Account details, if you register — name, email and company. Passwords are stored only as a salted hash, never in readable form.
- Order records — the products and quantities you selected, quotations, proforma invoices and the correspondence that follows.
- Technical data — IP address, browser type and requested pages, recorded in standard server logs for security and troubleshooting.
We do not ask for, and do not want to receive, payment card numbers, identity documents or other sensitive personal data through this website.
How we use your information
- Prepare and send your quotation and proforma invoice.
- Arrange freight, customs clearance and delivery with the carrier you or we select.
- Answer technical and commercial questions before and after the sale.
- Keep accounting, tax and shipping records that we are legally required to hold.
- Protect the site against abuse, fraud and unauthorised access.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not use the details you submit for advertising.
Lawful bases
Where the GDPR or comparable legislation applies, we rely on the following bases:
- Contract — to quote, ship and invoice an order you have requested.
- Legitimate interests — to answer business inquiries, secure the site and keep records of our commercial relationship.
- Legal obligation — where accounting, customs or tax rules require us to retain documents.
- Consent — for any optional technology, which only runs after you accept it.
Cookies and local storage
This site does not use advertising cookies, social media pixels or third-party analytics. The storage we do use is limited to what the site needs to function:
| Name | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
mp_cart | Keeps the items in your inquiry cart between pages | Essential (local storage) |
mp_token | Keeps you signed in to your account | Essential (local storage) |
mp_consent | Remembers the privacy choice you made in the banner | Essential (local storage) |
Because this storage is strictly necessary to provide the service you ask for, it is set without consent. You can clear it at any time in your browser settings — note that doing so empties your inquiry cart and signs you out. If we add optional measurement tools in future, they will only run after you choose Accept.
Who we share it with
We share personal data only with parties who need it to complete your order or operate the site:
- Carriers and freight forwarders — name, address, phone and tax ID, which are required for export documentation and customs clearance.
- Our payment partner — used to issue and process the payment link shown on your proforma invoice.
- Service providers — hosting, email and file storage providers acting on our instructions.
- Authorities — where we are legally required to disclose information.
We do not sell or rent personal data to anyone.
International transfers
We operate from China and work with suppliers, carriers and service providers in other countries. Your data may therefore be processed outside your country of residence. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, and we limit transfers to what is necessary to serve your request.
How long we keep it
Inquiry correspondence is kept while the commercial relationship is active and afterwards for as long as needed to support repeat orders and warranty claims. Invoices, shipping documents and customs records are kept for the periods required by accounting and tax law. Data you can delete yourself — cart contents, sign-in session — disappears when you clear your browser storage or sign out.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- ask what personal data we hold about you and receive a copy;
- have inaccurate data corrected;
- ask us to delete data we no longer need;
- restrict or object to certain processing;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw a consent you have given, at any time;
- lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Send any request to sales@bostomotion.com — we answer within 30 days. We may need to confirm your identity before acting.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS. Access to inquiry and customer records is limited to staff who need it to do their work, and passwords are stored as hashes. No system is completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive documents by email or through the inquiry form.
Children
This site is intended for businesses and professional buyers. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our services or the applicable rules change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised; material changes will be highlighted on this page.
