This Privacy Policy applies to:

  • Visitors to antor.xyz

  • People who contact us using forms or email addresses listed on the website

  • Buyers, factories and other partners who interact with us after finding us through antor.xyz

It does not cover how other companies or websites handle your data, even if we link to them. Those sites have their own privacy policies.

We collect different types of personal data depending on how you interact with us.

You may provide personal data when you:

  • Sourcing needs (product type, fabric category, gender, size range, quantity, target prices, timelines)

  • Details about your brand, factory or project

  • Any other information you choose to share in a free-text field or message

Because we mainly work B2B, much of this data is “business contact information”, but in many countries it is still treated as personal data.

We use standard analytics and performance tools (for example, Google Analytics via Google Site Kit, caching/CDN and security tools) to understand and improve how the site is used.

3.3. Information from third parties

In some cases, we may receive information about you from:

  • Business partners (buyers, factories or advisors who introduce you to us)

  • Public sources (such as LinkedIn or company websites where you have made your information public)

As required by Google’s AdSense Program Policies, we inform you that:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.

7. How we share your information

We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients:

  1. Service providers (processors)
    Trusted third parties who help us run the website and our business, such as:

    • Website hosting and infrastructure

    • Email and communication tools

    • Analytics and advertising providers (including Google)

    • Security, anti-spam and bot protection services

    • Backup, storage and performance/caching tools

    They process your data only on our instructions and under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.

  2. Business partners and factories

    • When you ask us to introduce you to a factory or partner

    • When sharing sourcing information is needed to respond to your inquiry (for example, to check capacity, price ranges or product feasibility)

  3. Professional advisors

    • Lawyers, accountants, consultants and similar, where necessary to protect our legitimate interests and comply with legal obligations

  4. Legal and regulatory authorities

    • Where required by law, court order or government request

    • To protect our rights, property or safety and that of others

  5. Business transfers

    • If we restructure, merge, sell or transfer part of our business, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable laws.

We do not sell your personal information for money. However, when we use advertising and analytics services, certain online identifiers and usage data may be shared with those providers; under some privacy laws this can be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising. Where such laws apply, you may have the right to opt out of this “sharing” (see Section 12 and your cookie settings).


8. International data transfers

Our website is operated from Bangladesh, and many of our partners and service providers are located in other countries.

If you access the site from the EEA, UK, Switzerland or other regions with data protection laws, please note that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries that may have different data protection standards than those in your home country.

Where required by law, we take appropriate steps to ensure that your rights are protected when data is transferred internationally, for example by working with providers that implement strong security measures and, where applicable, using contractual safeguards.


9. Data retention – how long we keep your data

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

In general:

  • Inquiry and contact data

    • Up to 3 years after our last meaningful interaction, unless a longer period is required for legal reasons.

  • Business relationship records (buyers, factories, partners)

    • For the duration of the relationship and typically up to 7 years afterwards, to comply with legal and tax obligations and to maintain accurate records.

  • Analytics and technical data

    • Retained according to the settings of the relevant tools (for example, Google Analytics data retention settings).

When data is no longer needed, we will delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to you.


10. How we protect your data

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including:

  • HTTPS encryption between your browser and our server

  • Use of reputable hosting, security and firewall tools

  • Access control for admin accounts

  • Regular updates to software, plugins and infrastructure

  • Regular backups of site data

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we work to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.


11. Your rights

Your rights depend on where you live, but may include:

  • Right of access – to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

  • Right to rectification – to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • Right to erasure – to ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances.

  • Right to restriction – to ask us to limit the processing of your data in certain cases.

  • Right to object – to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling, and to direct marketing.

  • Right to data portability – to request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

  • Right to withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw this at any time (this will not affect processing that has already happened).

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 15.

11.1. Additional information for EEA, UK and Swiss residents

If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland and believe we have not handled your data correctly, you can also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We would appreciate the chance to respond directly before you contact an authority, so please consider contacting us first.

11.2. Additional rights for California residents

If you are a resident of California, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, including:

  • The right to know what categories of personal information we collect and how we use and disclose it.

  • The right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.

  • The right to correct inaccurate personal information.

  • The right to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information where applicable.

We do not sell your personal information for money. However, as explained in Section 7, the way we use certain advertising and analytics services may qualify as “sharing” of personal information under California law. Where required, we will provide mechanisms (for example, a cookie banner or specific link) to let you opt out of such sharing.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.


12. Children’s privacy

This website and our services are not intended for children under 16 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16.

If you believe a child has provided us with personal data without parental consent, please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information.


13. Third-party websites and services

Our website may contain links to external websites and services (for example, factories, logistics providers, tools, social media, articles). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites.

When you leave antor.xyz, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of each site or service you use.


14. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

  • Our services or business operations

  • Applicable laws and regulations
