Privacy Notice Draft
This draft explains how the Winline International website handles information, including the use of Google Analytics 4. It is published for transparency while the responsible legal entity, privacy contact details, and final retention periods are reviewed by Winline's legal team.
Last updated:
1. Scope and responsible organization
This notice applies to the Winline International website, its localized pages, product catalogue, request-for-quotation workflow, checkout, order lookup, support services, and analytics features.
The final policy must identify the exact Winline legal entity acting as data controller, its registered address, and a dedicated privacy contact before legal approval.
Pages and workflows this notice covers
The notice covers the localised site, the product catalogue, the request-for-quotation workflow, checkout, order lookup, support services and analytics features.
2. Information we handle
Website and analytics data may include page URL, referral source, browser and device type, language, approximate region, visit time and page views. They may also include scrolls, outbound-link interactions, product interest and consent status.
Business forms and transaction workflows may separately process contact details, company information, project requirements, quotation details, order records, and support information supplied by you. Payment-card details are processed by the selected payment provider and should not be sent to Google Analytics.
Analytics data and business form data are handled separately
Analytics data describes visits. Business form data is submitted by you for quotations, orders and support.
3. Google Analytics and cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand website usage and improve product, RFQ, checkout, support, and outbound-channel experiences. The Analytics tag uses basic consent mode: it is not loaded until you select Accept analytics in the cookie banner.
Advertising storage, advertising user data, and advertising personalization remain disabled in the website configuration. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, phone numbers, payment details, free-text RFQ content, or order identifiers to Google Analytics.
Consent mode and disabled advertising features
The Analytics tag loads only after you accept analytics. Advertising storage, user data and personalization stay disabled in the site configuration.
4. Purposes and legal grounds
Consent is the basis for optional analytics. Information you submit for quotations, orders, support or other business requests may be processed to respond to your request. It may also be processed to take steps toward a contract, perform a contract or comply with law. It may also be processed to protect legitimate business and security interests, depending on the applicable jurisdiction.
Consent, contract and legal-obligation grounds
Optional analytics relies on consent. Quotation, order and support requests rely on the applicable contract, legal or legitimate-interest grounds.
5. Service providers and international transfers
Analytics information may be processed by Google LLC and its affiliates or service providers. Business operations may also rely on hosting, payment, email, logistics, CRM, and support providers where configured.
Information may be processed outside your country. The final policy must document the applicable transfer mechanism and regional safeguards after legal review.
Providers and cross-border processing
Processors may include Google LLC and hosting, payment, email, logistics, CRM and support providers. Information may be processed outside your country.
6. Retention
Analytics data is retained according to the settings of the Winline GA4 property. Business records are kept only as long as reasonably required for the stated purpose, legal obligations, dispute handling, security, and audit needs. Exact retention periods must be confirmed before this draft becomes the final policy.
Analytics retention and business record retention
Analytics data follows the GA4 property settings. Business records are kept only as long as the stated purpose, law, disputes, security and audit require.
7. Your choices and rights
You can accept or reject analytics in the cookie banner and reopen Cookie settings from the footer. Withdrawing consent stops future consent-based Analytics loading on this device after the page reloads.
Depending on local law, you may have rights over your personal information. These may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or a copy. You may also complain to a supervisory authority.
Cookie banner choices and available rights
You may accept or reject analytics in the banner. Local law may also give you access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection and copy rights.
8. Security, children, and changes
We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. The website is intended for business users and is not directed to children.
We may update this notice as the website, providers, or legal requirements change. Material changes should be clearly dated.
