This Privacy Policy explains how Hamida Traders handles information submitted through our website, Buyer Requirement Portal and related business communication channels.

PRIVACY POLICY

How information is collected

Hamida Traders operates a business-to-business garment sourcing and stock communication platform. Information is collected where necessary to process buyer requirements, verify registrations, review buyer eligibility, communicate relevant opportunities and support legitimate business operations.

We may collect company name, business address, country, VAT or similar business-identification information where applicable, together with information needed to review and manage a buyer registration.

BUSINESS DATA

BUYING REQUIREMENTS

Product interests selected by the buyer

The Buyer Requirement Portal records the garment categories, seasons where applicable, product types and other requirement information you select. These details are used to understand what your company buys and to support relevant stock or sourcing communication.

REQUIREMENTS
04
TECHNICAL & SECURITY INFORMATION

Country, IP and access-related information

For registration security, access validation and protection of the portal, the system may process technical information such as IP address, selected country, detected country or related request and security information. This can be used to determine whether online registration can proceed under current access rules.

SECURITY
05
EMAIL VERIFICATION

Information used to verify your email

Buyer registration may require a six-digit email verification code. Verification-related records may be processed to confirm the email stage, apply expiration and attempt controls, prevent misuse and protect the registration process.

VERIFICATION

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

Buyer review, matching and business communication

PURPOSE

STOCK COMMUNICATION

Relevant product opportunities

Where a buyer is approved and eligible, active buying requirements may be used to identify relevant stock opportunities. The system is intended to focus product communication on applicable requirement matches rather than unrelated general stock messages.
