1. Information you choose to provide
When you request a quotation, you may provide your name, WhatsApp number, company, city, product requirements, quantities and notes. The website does not process a payment or complete an online sale.
2. Quote-cart and enquiry storage
Your quote cart is stored in your browser so it remains available on the same device. When you select the consent checkbox and continue, SM Traders saves a lightweight enquiry record before opening WhatsApp. That record includes your contact details, selected products and quantities, requirements, listed-price estimate, consent time and a reference number so our team can prepare and follow up on the quotation.
3. WhatsApp communications
When you continue to WhatsApp, your communication is also handled by WhatsApp under its own terms and privacy practices. SM Traders receives the message and contact details made available through that service and uses them to respond to your enquiry, prepare quotations and coordinate an agreed order.
4. Catalog measurement, Google Analytics and technical information
We record limited, pseudonymous catalog events such as product views, category views and quote-cart or WhatsApp hand-offs to understand product demand and improve the site. We also use Google Analytics to measure visits and understand how the website is used. Google Analytics may process device, browser, approximate-location and page-interaction information and may use cookies or similar browser storage under the Google Privacy Policy. We do not use these measurements for online advertising. Our hosting providers may also process routine technical information such as IP address, browser type, requested pages, timestamps and security logs to deliver, protect and troubleshoot the website.
5. Google Maps content
The homepage may display business ratings and customer reviews supplied by Google Maps Platform. That content remains subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Google's review policies. Following a Google Maps link takes you to Google's service, where Google may process information according to its own practices.
6. Administrator access
Authorized administrators use a secure session cookie to access catalog and enquiry-management tools. Administrative sessions, sign-ins and catalog changes are recorded for security and accountability.
7. How information is used
Information is used to answer enquiries, confirm product requirements, prepare quotations, coordinate delivery, maintain business records, improve the catalog and protect the website from misuse.
8. Sharing and retention
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers or delivery partners only where reasonably necessary to operate the website, respond to you or fulfill an agreed transaction. Enquiry and audit records are retained only as long as needed for business, legal, security or customer-service purposes.
9. Your choices
You may use the catalog without submitting an enquiry. You can clear the quote cart and analytics cookies through your browser settings, use the Google Analytics opt-out tool, and ask us through the contact page to review or correct information you previously submitted, subject to applicable record-keeping requirements.
10. Policy changes
We may update this policy as the website or our practices change. The revision date above identifies the current version.
11. Contact
For privacy questions, contact SM Traders through the website's Contact page or our WhatsApp enquiry channel.
