Privacy policy
This page explains what data we receive through china-zone.com, what it is used for, who receives it and how you can control it. It follows Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and the Bulgarian Personal Data Protection Act.
1. Who processes the data
Data controller: Berill Group Ltd (Берилл Групп ЕООД), company ID (EIK) 205317985, VAT number BG205317985. Registered office: 1 27 Yuli St., Varna 9000, Bulgaria. Office address: 17 Dragan Tsankov St., Varna.
For any question about personal data write to saleschinazone@gmail.com or call +359 88 208 6404. The company has no separate data protection officer: given its size and activity, none is required.
2. What data we receive and why

We never ask for or store payment card details: you pay the factory for the goods directly, and our commission is paid by bank transfer against an invoice.
3. Forms and requests
When you send a form, its content is delivered to our e-mail through the form delivery service Web3Forms and duplicated as a Telegram notification to the company's staff. These services act as processors and use the data only to deliver the message. Required fields: name and phone. Everything else is optional.
Requests that did not lead to a contract are kept for up to 12 months after the last contact and then deleted. If a contract is concluded, the data is kept for its term and afterwards for the periods required by Bulgarian accounting and tax law (up to 10 years).
4. Cookies and analytics
The site uses only one kind of cookie: Google Analytics 4 statistics. It is switched on only after you click "Accept" in the banner at the bottom of the page. Until you consent, no Google code is loaded and no Google cookies are set.
- _ga and _ga_*: tell visitors apart and keep session information. Lifetime: 2 years.
- Google advertising features (ad personalisation, advertising based on user data) are switched off.
- Google Analytics 4 does not store visitors' IP addresses: they are used only to derive the country and region at the moment of the request.
- The data is processed by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). It may be transferred to Google LLC (USA) under the European Commission's adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
You can withdraw consent at any time: the "Cookie settings" link in the footer reopens the banner, where you click "Decline". No new data is collected after that. Cookies already in your browser can be deleted in its settings.
5. Browser local storage
So that the site works the way you chose, three technical values are kept in your browser's storage (localStorage and sessionStorage). They are not shared with third parties and are not cookies.
- chinazone_consent: your answer to the cookie banner, so we do not ask again.
- chinazone_lang: the site language you chose.
- chinazone_attr: the traffic source (ref and utm) for the duration of one session. It is sent together with the form.
6. Server logs and hosting
The site is hosted on a Hetzner Online GmbH server in Germany (Nuremberg). The web server keeps a technical log: IP address, date and time, requested address, response code and browser string. Logs are kept for 14 days and used only for security and diagnostics.
7. Messengers and external links
The site has buttons to contact us via WhatsApp, Telegram and Viber, and a link to our Facebook page. Until you click a button, these services receive nothing about you. Once you start a conversation, the rules of the respective service apply: Meta Platforms (WhatsApp, Facebook), Telegram, Rakuten Viber.
8. Who receives the data
Data is shared only with those without whom your task cannot be done or the site cannot run:
- processors that deliver form messages (Web3Forms, Telegram) and run our e-mail;
- Google (visit statistics, only with your consent);
- the hosting provider (Hetzner Online GmbH, Germany);
- after a contract is signed: the customs representative, the carrier and the supplier, to the extent needed for a delivery in your name;
- public authorities where the law requires it.
We do not sell data and do not pass it on for third-party advertising.
9. Your rights
At any time you can:
- ask what data we hold about you and receive a copy;
- have inaccurate data corrected;
- ask for deletion where there is no legal ground to keep the data;
- restrict processing or object to processing based on legitimate interest;
- receive your data in a machine-readable format to transfer it to another controller;
- withdraw consent to analytics (this does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal).
To do so, write to saleschinazone@gmail.com. We reply within one month. If you believe your rights have been infringed, you can lodge a complaint with the Bulgarian Commission for Personal Data Protection (CPDP): 2 Prof. Tsvetan Lazarov Blvd., Sofia 1592, www.cpdp.bg, or with the supervisory authority of your EU country.
We make no decisions based solely on automated processing and do not profile visitors. The site is not intended for persons under 16.
10. Changes
When the services we use or the law change, we update this document. The date of the current version is shown at the top of the page. Material changes that affect your rights are announced separately.
