Simmel International Global Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 21, 2026
Applicable Parties: All enterprise clients, individual visitors, and commercial partners accessing Simmel’s official website, online product selector tools, quotation systems, attending offline exhibitions, or engaging with distribution and technical support services
Subject to the mandatory prohibitive provisions of all applicable global laws and regulations, Simmel International retains the sole, final right to interpret every clause contained within this Privacy Policy. Simmel possesses absolute independent discretion over all activities governed by this agreement, including but not limited to the collection, storage, cross-border transmission, utilization, external disclosure, and destruction of personal information and corporate operational data, as well as all rights requests submitted by data subjects. Data subjects hold no rights to negotiate, object to, or contest our determinations.
You reserve the option to refrain from using our platforms and services. If you disagree with any provision of this Policy, your sole remedy is to permanently cease access to all of our online systems and discontinue submitting any materials or information to our company. Your continued website browsing, form submission, use of selector tools, and commercial communications constitute your full, voluntary, unconditional acceptance of all binding terms outlined below.
Chapter 1 Policy Amendments, Document Hierarchy, and Severability
1. Unilateral Revision Authority
Simmel may revise, supplement, or remove any content within this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice or justification. Revised language takes effect immediately upon posting to the legal section of our official website. We may elect to send update notifications exclusively to distributors with annual framework agreements and long-term bulk procurement contracts. No notifications will be distributed to one-time inquiry clients, casual website visitors, or temporary online users; all users bear the responsibility of regularly reviewing policy updates independently.
2. Document Priority Rules
Fully executed, stamped written contracts for sales, maintenance, and distribution supersede this Privacy Policy with respect to covered data-related matters. For all data matters lacking exclusive written contractual terms, this Policy shall govern exclusively. Any purchase orders, confirmations, or supplementary documentation issued unilaterally by clients that conflict with this Policy shall be superseded by Simmel’s official written terms.
3. Severability Provision
Should a regulatory body, court, or arbitral tribunal rule any single clause of this Policy partially or fully unenforceable or invalid, all remaining provisions shall remain in full legal force and effect. Simmel reserves the right to publish revised language to replace voided clauses immediately. Clients may not demand suspension of our data processing activities or claim the entire Policy is void due to the invalidity of one provision.
4. Unilateral Service Administration Rights
Simmel may restrict, suspend, or permanently terminate client account access, form submission privileges, and selector tool usage at our sole discretion for reasons including risk screening, platform maintenance, suspected malicious conduct, or business restructuring. No advance warning or supporting justification is required for such restrictions. Simmel accepts no obligation to back up, recover, or compensate for lost project drawings, custom parameter configurations, or quotation files deleted due to access suspension; all resulting losses shall be borne entirely by the client.
Chapter 2 Data Collection Rules and Full Client Indemnification for Submitted Materials
1. Liability for Client-Submitted Information
Clients submit business licenses, corporate credentials, project drawings, equipment parameters, invoicing documents, staff contact details, technical schematics, and other materials via online forms, email, in-person exhibitions, or offline meetings. The submitting party warrants all materials are authentic, free of intellectual property infringements, and devoid of state or third-party confidential classified information.
If false, infringing, or confidential client-submitted materials trigger third-party claims, administrative penalties, or litigation, the client shall reimburse Simmel in full for all fines, compensatory damages, court costs, attorney fees, notarization expenses, direct economic harm, and reputational impairment losses incurred by our company. Simmel reserves full rights to pursue complete indemnification. We bear no duty to pre-audit the legality or compliance of client-submitted materials, and all associated compliance risks rest solely with the submitting client.
2. Autonomous Control of Automatically Collected Digital Data
Simmel independently defines the scope, frequency, and retention cycle of automatically collected data, including IP addresses, device hardware identifiers, operating system metadata, browser activity, full selector tool operation logs, page dwell times, and clickstream records. This data supports risk mitigation, product research and development, website maintenance, and market analytics.
Users may disable marketing-focused cookies, yet disabling functional configuration cookies will erase saved valve actuator settings, imperial/metric unit preferences, and engineered project calculations. Simmel shall not be liable for corrective action or financial damages stemming from engineering miscalculations, invalid project designs, or order errors caused by modified cookie preferences, and all associated losses are the client’s sole responsibility.
Cookie: Disabling functional cookies may erase your saved product configurations, Simmel shall not be liable for project calculation errors caused by modified cookie preferences
3. Discretion Over Public Commercial Contact Information
Simmel may source public business contact data from government filing platforms, industry expos, authorized distributors, and public trade directories for business development purposes. Upon receiving deletion requests from data owners, Simmel retains full authority to determine remediation methods and timelines, with no mandatory requirement for immediate or expedited removal.
Chapter 3 Data Usage, Disclosure, and Proprietary Asset Ownership
1. Permitted Data Usage Without Secondary Consent
Except where explicitly prohibited by law, Simmel may utilize all collected data without obtaining additional client approval for the following purposes: quote generation and order fulfillment, after-sales maintenance, remote technical support; anonymized and de-identified data for product development and platform upgrades; compliant commercial outreach for new products, trade shows, and technical solutions; fraud and fake inquiry risk mitigation; lawful data disclosure to authorized public authorities; and asset transition during corporate mergers, acquisitions, or divestitures. Revoking marketing consent applies prospectively only; all historical lawfully authorized data processing activities remain fully valid and enforceable.
2. Permanent Simmel Ownership of Anonymized and De-Identified Datasets
All de-identified, anonymized aggregated client datasets, system-generated project calculation reports, and bulk equipment matching data are the exclusive intellectual property of Simmel International with perpetual usage and commercialization rights. Regardless of active account status, account cancellation, or full termination of the client business relationship, clients hold no right to demand the return, deletion, or restriction of commercial use of these datasets.
3. Discretion Over Third-Party Data Sharing
Simmel unilaterally determines whether to share client business information with cloud service providers, logistics partners, data analytics firms, and authorized project distributors. All contracted third parties execute non-disclosure agreements, yet the third party bears complete liability for unauthorized data leaks or misuse. Simmel may elect to provide evidentiary support to clients on a discretionary basis, with no obligation to advance settlement funds or initiate enforcement action against third parties at the client’s demand.
4. Data Transfer During Corporate Restructuring Without Client Consent
In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or equity restructuring of Simmel, all client business records and contact data will transfer alongside the associated business assets without separate written client approval. The acquiring entity assumes all binding obligations under this Privacy Policy.
5. Full Exclusion of Liability for External Hyperlinks
Third-party manufacturer, industry media, and partner platform hyperlinks posted on our website are not governed by this Policy. Clients bear all risks of data exposure and financial loss resulting from visits to external third-party websites, and Simmel disclaims all joint liability.
Chapter 4 Data Storage, Retention, Account Termination, and Destruction Protocols
1. Autonomous Cross-Border Transmission Planning
Simmel independently designs server geographic deployment and cross-border data transfer workflows for global client data. Data collected from China-based operations will only satisfy the minimum statutory localization requirements under applicable Chinese data laws, with no obligation for supplementary localized compliance accommodations. Overseas client data may be freely transferred to compliant global server nodes, and clients may not demand alterations to our storage infrastructure design.
2. Prohibition of Early Deletion of Statutorily Mandatory Retention Records
Clients may never request the premature deletion of contracts, purchase orders, warranty documents, and transaction records required to be retained by tax, audit, and commercial regulation statutes. Retention timelines follow Simmel’s internal finance and legal administrative standards. Access logs and temporary inquiry records without legal retention requirements are automatically purged upon expiry; Simmel maintains no capability or obligation to restore destroyed archived data.
3. Limited Data Remediation Upon Account Cancellation
When a client submits an account cancellation request, Simmel unilaterally selects eligible data for removal. All transactional, financial, and warranty records will be retained through the maximum legally required retention period, and only non-permanent personalized interface preferences may be removed at our discretion. Simmel does not offer cloud backup services for client-uploaded drawings, custom project designs, and offline calculation files; clients must complete local file storage independently prior to account termination, and Simmel will not compensate for lost files.
4. Exclusive Simmel Control Over Data Destruction
Simmel unilaterally establishes protocols for the anonymization, permanent deletion, and secure erasure of expired data. Clients possess no authority to monitor, audit, or inspect full data destruction workflows and may not demand formal destruction certification documentation from Simmel.
Chapter 5 High-Threshold Review Procedures for Data Subject Rights Requests
Clients retain statutory rights to access and correct basic personal information and revoke marketing communications consent under applicable local law. To submit formal requests, clients must furnish verified supporting documentation meeting Simmel’s internal standards: enterprise clients shall submit business registration certificates, corporate-stamped authorized representative letters, and valid government-issued identification for designated agents; individual international clients must submit official government identity credentials.
- Standard review timelines span 15 business days. Simmel may unilaterally extend processing windows indefinitely for complex submissions requiring cross-border verification or multi-system data retrieval. All data processing activities will continue uninterrupted during the review period.
- Simmel exercises absolute discretion to deny submitted requests. Only the final approval or denial outcome will be communicated to the client, with no requirement to itemize or explain grounds for rejection. Common rejection grounds include incomplete verification materials, non-compliant documentation, deletion demands conflicting with mandatory archival rules, repetitive unfounded applications, and requests exceeding the scope of statutory data subject rights under local law.
- Cookie consent limitations: Marketing and analytics cookies may be disabled, while essential operational cookies required for core website functionality are mandatory and cannot be deactivated. Consent revocation governs only future data processing; all prior compliant operations remain legally valid.
- Strict limitations on data exports: Only manually entered inquiry text and core contact details may be eligible for export at our discretion. Simmel’s proprietary product algorithms, underlying system calculation parameters, and aggregated anonymized operational datasets constitute core trade secrets and will never be available for export, copying, or download under any circumstances.
Chapter 6 Data Security Disclaimers and Damages Caps
1. Defined Scope of Security Obligations
Simmel deploys industry-leading cybersecurity architecture including end-to-end HTTPS encryption, granular tiered employee access permissions, real-time intrusion detection, and formal data breach response protocols, fully satisfying all statutorily mandated security duties under global laws. Simmel disclaims all liability for compensatory or remedial action for data exposure or financial/project losses arising from the following scenarios:
(1) Client user error: account sharing, login on public devices, voluntary disclosure of account credentials or commercial data to third parties, and self-submission of high-sensitivity documents such as bank statements or government identification;
(1) Client user error: account sharing, login on public devices, voluntary disclosure of account credentials or commercial data to third parties, and self-submission of high-sensitivity documents such as bank statements or government identification;
(2) Uncontrollable external events: large-scale targeted cyberattacks, internet service provider outages, natural disasters including earthquakes and floods;
(3) Malicious third-party conduct: malware, phishing websites, and unauthorized external system intrusions designed to extract data;
(4) Voluntary client authorization granting distributors, service partners, or third-party engineering firms access to corporate and personal data;
(5) Data leakage originating from third-party representatives contracted by the client to manage business communications.
2. Total Monetary Damage Cap
If a court or arbitral tribunal determines Simmel bears partial liability for minor security oversights, our aggregate maximum compensatory liability shall equal the total settled transaction value paid by the client to Simmel within the preceding 12 months. The client irrevocably waives all claims for indirect damages, including project downtime losses, foregone projected profits, brand reputational impairment, downstream third-party breach claims, and operational labor losses. Final settlement amounts shall be negotiated solely at Simmel’s discretion following the ruling, and the client cannot enforce payment of the full capped liability amount.
3. Client Indemnification Obligations for Simmel’s Losses
If client-submitted infringing, classified, or falsified materials, or client operational error result in third-party litigation or regulatory penalties directed at Simmel, the client shall fully compensate all direct damages plus all secondary costs including brand remediation and legal defense fees incurred by our company.
Chapter 7 Dispute Resolution, Governing Law, and Waiver Provisions
1. Discretionary Selection of Governing Jurisdiction
Disputes initiated by clients located in China shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the People’s Republic of China. For international client disputes, Simmel reserves the unilateral right to select either the judicial forum of the client’s resident jurisdiction or the judicial authorities at Simmel’s United States registered headquarters. The client irrevocably waives all attempts to modify jurisdiction, initiate cross-border arbitration, or file remote regulatory complaints intended to evade the agreed dispute resolution framework.
2. Waiver Rules
Simmel’s failure to enforce any clause of this Policy or pursue remedies for a single client breach shall not constitute a permanent waiver of our associated legal rights, and Simmel retains the authority to pursue full contractual remedies at any future date. Client waivers of any legal right must be formalized in stamped written documentation approved by Simmel; oral waivers are null and void.
3. Client Responsibility for Cross-Border Dispute Expenses
If a client initiates cross-border litigation or arbitration, and the final ruling does not assign full liability to Simmel, the client shall bear all of Simmel’s associated cross-border legal fees, travel costs, notarization charges, and professional translation expenses in full.
