2. Data collected

We collect only the data necessary for managing our commercial relationships and processing requests (sourcing, purchase, supplier application, contact):

• Professional identification data: first name, last name, position, company.
• Professional contact details: business e-mail, phone, company address.
• Content of exchanges: description of the need, volumes, products, indicative budget.

As this site is strictly professional in purpose (B2B), it does not process data of individual consumers.

3. Purposes and legal bases

• Performance of pre-contractual or contractual measures: processing a sourcing request, preparing an offer, negotiating and executing an order.
• Legitimate interest: management of the commercial relationship, tracking of exchanges, compliance (AML/sanctions checks) and site improvement.
• Legal obligations: accounting and documentary retention of international trade (invoices, transport documents).

4. Recipients

Your data is accessible only to authorised persons of GLOBAL IMPORT EXPORT and, where applicable, to its service providers (hosting, freight forwarders, bank in the documentary context), only to the extent necessary. It is never sold to third parties.

5. Retention periods

• Requests and leads: the period strictly necessary for their processing, then limited archiving.
• Commercial and accounting documents: in accordance with legal obligations (10 years for accounting records).
• Prospect contact data: until objection or prolonged inactivity.

6. Your rights

In accordance with the GDPR, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability of your data, as well as the right to define directives regarding their fate in the event of death. To exercise them, write to us at contact@global-import-export.net. You may also lodge a complaint with the CNIL in the event of difficulty.

7. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures: restricted access, secure hosting, encryption in transit (HTTPS). In the context of international trade, certain documentary data (LC, bills of lading) are shared with the bank according to the banking protocols in force.

8. Transfers outside the EU

The data of our suppliers located outside the European Union is processed in the context of commercial relationships and compliance checks, with appropriate safeguards where the regulation so requires.
