1. Introduction
Southern Timber Exports (“we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website and how we use it.
2. Data Collected
The only personal information we collect is what you choose to give us. If you use our Contact or Request a Quote forms, this may include your name, email address, phone number, and the details of your inquiry (such as species, volume, and destination port). We do not require an account, and we do not collect payment information through this website.
3. Embedded Content
Some pages on this site may embed content from third-party services, such as a map or video. If you interact with that content, the third-party service's own privacy policy applies to any data they collect.
4. Cookies
This site does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Your browser may store small technical files needed for the site to work correctly, but we do not use these to track you across other websites.
5. Who Has Access To Your Data
Information you submit through our forms is only seen by the Southern Timber Exports team members who need it to respond to your inquiry or prepare your order.
6. Third Party Access to Your Data
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share it with service providers who help us operate this website or fulfill an order — for example, a shipping or logistics partner — only to the extent necessary.
7. How Long We Retain Your Data For
We keep inquiry and order information for as long as needed to respond to you, fulfill an order, and meet our own legal and accounting requirements, after which it is deleted.
8. Security Measures
This site is served over HTTPS to encrypt data in transit. We take reasonable steps to protect the information you send us, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
9. Your Data Rights
You can ask us at any time what personal information we hold about you, and request that we correct or delete it, by contacting us at [Your Email Address].
10. Third Party Websites
This site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we don't operate, and we encourage you to review their policies before providing any personal information.
11. Release of Your Data for Legal Purposes
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
