1) Who we are (data controller)
Atlas Global Trading Inc. (“we”, “us”) operates this website and processes personal data to respond to supply inquiries and manage commercial communications.
Contact: info@bulkhazelnutsupplier.com
Location: Ankara, Türkiye
2) What we collect
We collect only what is needed to operate the site and respond to business inquiries.
When you contact us (form or email), we may receive:
Required: name, email, message content
Optional: company, phone, destination country, product interest, specifications, quantity, packaging preference, incoterm, attachments or any details you include.
Basic technical data may be processed to deliver and secure the website, such as approximate device/browser data, pages requested, timestamp, referring page, and IP address/server logs. This data is used to operate the site, prevent abuse, and diagnose errors.
We use essential cookies for core functionality. Optional analytics cookies are used only if you enable them via “Cookie Settings”. You can change your preference at any time using the Cookie Settings button on the site.
3) Why we use data (purposes)
- Respond to your inquiry and communicate with you
- Prepare quotations, coordinate samples, and manage procurement discussions
- Maintain internal records of commercial communications
- Operate, secure, and troubleshoot the website
- Measure website usage with analytics (only if enabled by you)
4) Legal bases / processing conditions
We rely on appropriate legal grounds depending on the context:
| Context | Typical legal basis | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Responding to inbound inquiries | Legitimate interest / necessary for communications | RFQs, samples, technical questions |
| Quote preparation / pre-contract steps | Necessary to take steps at your request | Pricing, lead times, packaging, incoterms |
| Compliance & recordkeeping | Legal obligation / legitimate interest | Accounting or dispute handling (where applicable) |
| Essential cookies | Strictly necessary for site operation | Cookie preference storage, security functions |
| Analytics cookies | Consent (opt-in) | Aggregate usage statistics (only if enabled) |
If you include sensitive data in your message, please ensure it is necessary. We do not request special-category data for routine supply inquiries.
5) Who we share data with
We do not sell personal data. We may share limited information with:
- Service providers who help operate our email, hosting, security, and (if enabled) analytics — only as needed and under confidentiality/contractual safeguards.
- Logistics/operations partners where necessary to arrange samples or shipments (e.g., name/company, address details you provide), only to the extent required.
- Authorities if required to comply with applicable law or lawful requests.
6) International transfers
Our operations are based in Türkiye. Some service providers (e.g., hosting, email, analytics) may process data on infrastructure located outside Türkiye/your country. Where cross-border transfer is involved, we apply appropriate safeguards and limit transfers to what is necessary for the purposes above.
If you want details about our current service-provider locations relevant to your inquiry, email us and we will provide practical information for your due diligence.
7) How long we keep data (retention)
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described:
| Data type | Typical retention | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Inquiry messages and email correspondence | Up to 24 months after last interaction (typical) | Commercial follow-up, continuity for repeat inquiries |
| Active customer/procurement records | Contract term + reasonable period (or as required) | Order continuity, quality/traceability documentation |
| Security/server logs | Short duration (typically days to a few months) | Security monitoring, abuse prevention |
| Analytics data (if enabled) | Configured by the analytics tool (typical months) | Aggregate reporting, site improvement |
Retention may be longer if needed for legal claims, dispute resolution, or compliance obligations.
8) Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No internet transmission is 100% secure, but we prioritize practical safeguards and access limitation.
9) Cookies & your choices
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use:
| Category | Purpose | Can you disable? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Core site functions (e.g., cookie preference storage, security features) | Not recommended (site may not work correctly) |
| Analytics (optional) | Understand which pages are useful and improve content (aggregate insights) | Yes — controlled via Cookie Settings |
You can enable/disable analytics cookies at any time using the “Cookie Settings” control available on this website. If you disable analytics, we will stop using optional analytics cookies going forward.
