Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Data Controller

Pingtai Machine respects visitor privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how pingtaimachine.com may collect, use, store, and disclose personal information when visitors use the website.

2. Information We May Collect

Depending on the website configuration, technical information may be processed when a visitor accesses a page. This can include an IP address, access time, requested page, browser type, operating system, and server log data. Such information may be needed to deliver content, maintain security, diagnose errors, and investigate misuse.

If the website offers contact forms, comments, or other interactive features, information submitted through those features may also be processed. Visitors should provide only information relevant to their request and avoid submitting confidential, sensitive, or proprietary business information through general website features.

The actual categories of information collected depend on which website functions are enabled.

3. Purposes and Legal Bases

Information may be used to operate and maintain the website, respond to feedback, troubleshoot technical problems, protect website security, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, personal data must be processed under an appropriate legal basis. Depending on the circumstances, this may include consent, steps taken at a person’s request, compliance with a legal obligation, or legitimate interests that do not override the individual’s rights and freedoms.

The appropriate legal basis must be assessed for each processing activity. Where consent is required, it should be obtained before the relevant processing begins and may be withdrawn as permitted by law.

4. Cookies and Third-Party Services

The website may use technically necessary cookies or similar technologies to support core functionality and security. Analytics, advertising, or other non-essential technologies must be handled in accordance with applicable legal requirements, including obtaining consent where necessary.

If the website uses analytics tools, advertising networks, embedded media, or other third-party services, this policy should identify the relevant services and explain their roles in data processing. Visitors should receive clear information about active technologies and any available preference settings.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies. Their actual roles and any international data transfers should be reviewed before publication.

5. Sharing and International Transfers

Information may be processed by service providers that support hosting, security, maintenance, or other disclosed website functions. Appropriate agreements and safeguards should be implemented where legally required.

Personal information may also be disclosed when required by law or when necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Transfers outside the European Economic Area must comply with applicable requirements and use appropriate safeguards where necessary.

6. Retention and Security

Personal information should be retained only for as long as necessary for its stated purpose, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. Actual retention periods should be established according to the data type, purpose, and applicable obligations.

Reasonable technical and organizational measures should be used to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Protection Rights

Where the GDPR applies, individuals may have the right to request access to their personal data, correction of inaccurate information, erasure, restriction of processing, and data portability. They may also object to certain processing, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exceptions. Requests should be directed to the data controller using the privacy contact details provided above.

8. Children’s Privacy and Policy Updates

The website provides general educational information and is not specifically intended to collect personal information from children. If features that collect children’s information are introduced, the applicable legal requirements and safeguards must be assessed.
