Overview

How we handle personal and business information

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website, how we use it in the context of international dried fruit sourcing and export communication, when we may share it with service providers or operational partners, how long we keep it, and what choices you have regarding your data.

What we collect

We mainly collect contact and inquiry data submitted by importers, distributors, wholesalers, ingredient buyers, retail sourcing teams and other commercial stakeholders.

Why we collect it

We use submitted information to answer inquiries, prepare quotations, coordinate samples, discuss specifications, manage commercial follow-up and improve customer service.

How we protect it

We apply reasonable technical and organizational controls appropriate to a small-to-medium B2B trading website and to the sensitivity of the information we process.

Commercial purpose

Why we use inquiry and communication data

Our website is designed primarily as a B2B lead generation, qualification and communication channel. Data is used only where it supports legitimate business interaction or website operation.

Inquiry response

To review incoming requests, reply to product questions, provide commercial information and maintain communication with prospective buyers.

Quotation and offer preparation

To understand product interest, volume expectations, target market, packing requirements and other factors needed to prepare a relevant quotation or commercial response.

Sample coordination

To organize sample discussions, confirm product type, crop expectations, size preference, moisture or sulfur requirements, organic status and intended application.

Operational follow-up

To support communication related to documentation, lead times, certification discussions, quality claims, shipment coordination and after-sales service.

Customer relationship management

To maintain an organized record of previous inquiries, prior discussions, requested products and communication history for continuity and service consistency.

Security and fraud prevention

To detect spam, abusive traffic, suspicious form submissions, misuse of website infrastructure and attempts to disrupt or exploit the site.

Product and trade context

Use of data in commercial supply discussions

Because Atlas Global Trading Co. operates in export-oriented dried fruit trade, some inquiry information naturally relates to technical and commercial decision-making. This may include product range selection, organic versus conventional preference, indicative order size, packaging style, target market, certification expectations, quality tolerances, processing needs and logistics suitability.

Typical commercial details we may review

  • Requested product type such as dried apricots, figs, mulberries, raisins, prunes, cherries or dates
  • Organic, conventional or dual-range preference
  • Bulk, foodservice, industrial or private label packaging format
  • Expected annual, seasonal or trial order volume
  • Destination market and compliance expectations
  • Target quality profile and specification alignment
  • Documentation and certification requirements

Why that matters

This information helps us avoid generic responses and provide commercially useful communication. It allows us to identify whether the requested product is suitable, whether the inquiry matches our sourcing and processing structure, and whether further discussion on pricing, samples, crop timing, packaging or documentation is appropriate.

Legal basis

Why processing may be justified

Depending on the type of interaction, we may process personal data because it is necessary to respond to a request, pursue legitimate business interests, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, or manage a pre-contractual or contractual commercial relationship.

Legitimate interests

We have a legitimate interest in running a secure website, answering business inquiries, maintaining records of sales communication, preventing misuse, improving response quality and supporting normal commercial operations.

Pre-contractual and contractual necessity

Where you ask for pricing, samples, specifications, documents or supply planning, processing your contact information and request details may be necessary to take steps related to a potential or active commercial relationship.

Form processing

How contact form data is handled technically

The contact form is intended for business use and routes inquiry data to our internal email workflow for review and response. We also use basic anti-spam and request metadata controls to help preserve form quality and trace delivery issues.

Submitted fields

The form may collect company name, contact person, email, phone, country, selected product interest, estimated volume, message content and hidden anti-spam fields.

Technical metadata

Depending on server configuration, we may record IP address, submission time, referrer, browser information, handler URL values and server-side diagnostics.

Operational purpose

This data helps us review the origin and context of the inquiry, respond accurately, reduce spam, validate message delivery and maintain internal communication records.

Important note on email transmission

Form submissions may be transmitted and stored through web hosting infrastructure, mail routing systems or future SMTP-based delivery tools. While we take reasonable steps to work with standard commercial infrastructure, no internet transmission or email channel can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For that reason, please avoid submitting highly sensitive personal information through general website forms unless specifically requested and appropriately protected.

Cookies

Cookie and local storage practices

We currently use a simple cookie preference mechanism and may use limited cookies or local storage items necessary for site functionality, user preference retention and basic analytics or performance review.

Essential functionality cookies

These may be used to remember whether you accepted a cookie banner, preserve interface preferences or support basic session-level website behavior.

Performance and diagnostic tools

If enabled now or later, website performance or traffic tools may collect information such as visited pages, device type, browser environment and general interaction patterns.

Managing cookies

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect parts of the website experience, especially preference retention or certain interface functions.

Sharing

When information may be shared

We do not sell contact data. We may share limited information only where it is necessary for normal business operations, website administration, or legal compliance.

Service providers

  • Website hosting providers
  • Email delivery or mail routing providers
  • IT maintenance or security service providers
  • Business software providers used for communication or record management

Operational counterparties

In a genuine supply discussion, limited information may be shared internally or with relevant processing, logistics, documentation or certification parties only where needed to evaluate feasibility, support order preparation, coordinate shipment or meet trade documentation requirements.

No unnecessary disclosure

We aim to keep disclosures proportionate. We do not share inquiry content broadly, and we do not disclose business contacts for unrelated marketing or resale purposes.

International business

Cross-border communication and data transfers

Atlas Global Trading Co. serves international customers. As a result, inquiry and commercial communication data may be accessed, transmitted or stored across different countries depending on where our customers, service providers, email systems, hosting infrastructure or trade counterparties are located.

Typical international scenarios

  • Inbound inquiries from buyers outside Turkey
  • Cross-border email routing and storage
  • Shipment or documentation coordination involving overseas contacts
  • Certification, inspection or logistics communication involving external partners

Our approach

Where international transfers occur, we seek to keep the information limited to what is reasonably necessary for the communication or transaction at hand and to work with commercially standard systems.

Retention

How long we keep data

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for inquiry management, commercial continuity, legal compliance, dispute handling, operational recordkeeping or security review.

Inquiry records

Basic inquiry history may be retained for follow-up, repeat business communication, internal reference and customer service continuity.

Operational records

If an inquiry leads to sampling, quotations, documentation review or commercial cooperation, related records may be retained longer where operationally justified.

Technical logs

Server and security logs may be retained for shorter periods unless needed for troubleshooting, abuse detection or legal reasons.

Retention principle

The exact retention period may vary depending on the nature of the inquiry, whether there is an active business relationship, whether legal or accounting obligations apply, and whether the information is needed to resolve a claim, complaint or security issue.

Security

How we protect information

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures suited to our size, website structure and the commercial nature of the data we process.

Typical safeguards

  • Access limitation to authorized personnel or service providers
  • Basic anti-spam and form abuse controls
  • Hosting and server-level security measures
  • Administrative controls over business communications
  • Efforts to minimize unnecessary data collection
  • Reasonable monitoring for suspicious activity and delivery issues

Security limitations

No website, email workflow, hosting environment or internet transmission system can be guaranteed to be fully secure. Although we take reasonable steps to protect data, users should understand that some residual risk exists whenever information is transmitted online.
