1. Who We Are
George Group is an international-facing brand operated by 佛山磐珊建材有限公司 (Foshan Panshan Building Materials Co., Ltd., an English translation provided for identification purposes only), a company registered in Foshan, Guangdong, China. This policy applies to georgebeyond.com and the inquiry services available through this website.
2. Information We Collect
When you submit an inquiry, we may collect your name, email address, WhatsApp or telephone number, message, project requirements, the page from which the inquiry was submitted, IP address, submission time, and inquiry status. If you contact us by email, WhatsApp, social media, telephone, or another channel, we also receive the information you choose to provide through that channel.
Our hosting systems may automatically process limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, requested URL, referrer, date and time, and security or server-log data.
3. How We Use Information
- Respond to inquiries and discuss products, design support, quotations, sourcing, shipping, and project requirements.
- Maintain inquiry records and follow up on requested services.
- Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.
- Measure website performance and understand how visitors use the site when analytics services are enabled.
- Comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our rights, users, and systems.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, we process information to respond to your request, take steps toward a potential transaction, operate our business and protect the website, comply with legal obligations, or based on your consent where consent is required.
4. Inquiry Records and Email
Website inquiry submissions are stored in our WordPress database and sent to our designated business mailbox through an email service. Access is limited to people who need the information to respond, administer the website, or support the relevant project. Submitting an inquiry does not automatically subscribe you to a marketing mailing list.
5. Cookies, Analytics, and Search Services
The website uses technical functions necessary to operate forms and maintain security. We may also enable Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, and Microsoft Clarity to manage tags, measure traffic, and understand website interactions. When these services are enabled, they may process cookie identifiers, IP-derived location, device and browser information, referrer, visited pages, interaction events, and session information in accordance with their own terms and our consent settings.
Google Search Console may be used to understand how the website appears and performs in Google Search. Search Console is a site-owner search performance service and is not presented here as a visitor analytics cookie.
Where required, non-essential analytics and similar technologies will be controlled through a consent or preference mechanism. More information is available in our Cookie Policy.
6. Embedded Content and External Services
Pages may include or link to services operated by third parties, including YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. If you play embedded media, follow a social link, or contact us through an external platform, that provider may receive technical information and process your data under its own privacy policy. We do not control third-party websites or applications.
7. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with website hosting, email, communications, analytics, security, and technical service providers that support the purposes described above; with professional advisers where necessary; with authorities where legally required; or with another organization in connection with a lawful business reorganization. We limit sharing to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
8. International Processing
George Group operates from China and serves visitors and customers internationally. Information may therefore be processed in China and in locations where our hosting, email, communications, analytics, or other service providers operate. Where required, we take reasonable steps to use appropriate safeguards for international processing.
9. Retention
We generally retain inquiry records for up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction. We may retain information longer where it is connected to an active quotation, order, contract, warranty, dispute, accounting requirement, or legal obligation. Technical and security logs are retained only for a period reasonably necessary for operations, security, and troubleshooting. Analytics retention depends on the service and configuration in use when analytics is enabled. Information is deleted or anonymized when it is no longer reasonably required, subject to backup cycles and legal obligations.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so please do not send unnecessary sensitive information through an inquiry form.
11. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may ask whether we hold personal information about you and request access, correction, deletion, restriction, withdrawal of consent, or another available privacy right. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information where required by law or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
12. Children
This website is intended for business customers, professionals, homeowners, and other adult buyers. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly request personal information from children.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when website functions, service providers, or legal requirements change. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
