01Overview & Scope

Packaging 100 is a dedicated B2B event and trade matchmaking platform in the global packaging and printing sector, operated by [Pending Huazhan: Official registered entity name and location] (hereinafter referred to as "we", "us", or "the Platform").

This Policy applies to the processing of personal and business contact information when you visit the Packaging 100 website, browse our enterprise directory and supply & demand boards, submit onboarding or sourcing applications, subscribe to industry briefings, or communicate with us through platform channels.

02Information We Collect

We strictly adhere to the principles of legality, fairness, necessity, and minimization, collecting only information necessary to deliver B2B trade matchmaking and core platform services. Sourced data fields comprise:

Business Scenario Collected Fields Submission Channel

Newsletter Subscription Full name, work email, language preference (en/zh), subscribed topics Footer & page subscription inputs
Exhibitor Directory Unlock Full name, work email, company name Exhibitor unlock modal (Gate Dialog)
Official Exhibitor Data Display Enterprise public business profiles, exhibition records, official directory sourced data, and business contact details Third-party official exhibition organizers and event public pages only (no partners or data enrichment). The hosting purpose is to facilitate trade matching. The official source URL and data retrieval/update timestamp are displayed per record where available. To request correction or removal, please contact marketing@p100group.com.
Server & Security Logs Access IP address, request timestamp, browser User-Agent, requested path (for security & rate limiting) Automated web server logs

Notice: We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as government IDs, biometric data, religious beliefs, or real-time location tracking), nor do we collect personal consumer payment card details.

03Purpose & Usage

We collect and use the aforementioned information solely for explicit, legitimate commercial purposes:

  • Trade Matchmaking: Facilitating direct commercial connections between international buyers and Chinese packaging manufacturers, and following up on RFQs and capacity matches;
  • Application Review: Triage, initial processing, and human verification of enterprise directory applications;
  • Briefings & Event Updates: Delivering expo calendar updates, C300 forum notices, and bilingual industry briefings to subscribed users;
  • Platform Security & Maintenance: Maintaining operational stability, mitigating scraping abuses, spam submissions, and cybersecurity incidents.

04AI Triage & Human Review

To enhance cross-border matching efficiency, the platform utilizes an AI-assisted triage mechanism (via DeepSeek API) during onboarding and inquiry submissions:

  • Processing Scope: The AI model receives only the role, company name, country, and requirement description submitted in the form, generating a concise summary and suggested follow-up action for our specialists;
  • Human in the Loop: AI serves strictly as an administrative drafting tool. All directory approvals, listings, and trade introductions are independently reviewed and executed by human industry specialists within 48 hours; no automated legal or binding decisions occur.

05Zero Tracking & Client Storage

Zero-Tracking Cookie Commitment: Packaging 100 does NOT set HTTP tracking cookies, advertising trackers, social media pixels, or overseas third-party analytics scripts (such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel).

My Account stores your saved suppliers, interested events and sourcing requests submitted while signed in so you can return to them. You can remove saved suppliers and events. Saving an event does not register you or send information to its organiser. Guest requests are not automatically linked by email.

The platform uses a minimal amount of standard Web Storage and strictly necessary session cookies solely for account authentication and essential front-end functions:

  • Member Authentication: We verify your identity via optional Google OAuth login or email one-time passwords (OTP) sent through SMTP (which remains independently available as a fallback, including in mainland China). Upon authentication, a strictly necessary, revocable login cookie is issued with up to a 30-day expiry to maintain your access to protected directory data. This cookie is strictly configured with HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite=Lax attributes. Account access logs are recorded for security auditing;
  • localStorage['p100v2-lang']: Stores your chosen display language (English en or Chinese zh) to preserve preferences across pages and subsequent visits;
  • sessionStorage['p100v2-admin-key']: Temporarily retains administrator authentication tokens on the internal back office (/admin.html), cleared immediately upon closing the session.

06Information Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade business contact information or personal data to third parties. We share data only under the following specific circumstances:

  • Public Directory Display: Upon enterprise authorization, public business profiles (company name, categories, equipment, certifications, and public contact channels) are displayed in the online directory for sourcing purposes;
  • Matchmaking Introductions: Sharing contact coordinates between buyers and suppliers upon mutual interest in commercial matchmaking;
  • Cloud Infrastructure: Data is securely stored in access-controlled database infrastructure (Vercel Postgres) acting strictly as data processors under our instructions;
  • Legal Obligations: Disclosure when mandated by applicable laws, court orders, statutory governmental mandates, or regulatory proceedings.

Publication Gate: Personal contact information and submitted materials cannot become publishable until Hazel explicitly signs off on the source and text. The platform makes no claim that current pending data is complete or approved for publication.

07Cross-Border Transfers & Global Operations

As an international B2B platform bridging China's packaging supply chain with global markets, when overseas buyers inquire with Chinese suppliers or domestic enterprises participate in overseas expos, business contact data may be transferred and processed across different jurisdictions.

We utilize industry-standard HTTPS / TLS encryption protocols across all transmissions and implement reasonable organizational and technical safeguards to ensure data confidentiality and integrity during cross-border exchanges.

08Data Retention & Security

Retention Period: We retain business information only for the minimum duration necessary to fulfill the purposes set out in this Policy: [Pending Huazhan: Business lead retention period, e.g., 3 years from last active interaction, or erased upon user deletion request]. Upon expiry, data is securely erased or anonymized.

Security Safeguards: We implement multi-layered technical and administrative safeguards, including mandatory HTTPS encryption, database credential isolation, back-office authentication keys, and role-based access control to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

09Data Subject Rights & International Visitor Notice

Regardless of your location, you have the following rights regarding your business contact details and personal data:

  • Right of Access & Information: Request confirmation of what personal data we hold and how it is processed;
  • Right to Rectification: Request correction or update of inaccurate or outdated business profile data;
  • Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Request deletion of your onboarding submission, directory entry, or subscriber records;
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: Unsubscribe from briefings or withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.
