Guangdong Metal Corporation (“GMC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information that we collect and process.

When you contact us, request a quotation, or submit an inquiry, we may collect information such as:
first and last name;
business email address;
company name;
telephone or mobile number;
country or region;
product requirements, specifications, drawings, and application information;

referring and exit pages;
pages viewed and actions taken;
date, time, and duration of visits;
approximate geographic location derived from the IP address;

website performance, analytics, and advertising interaction data.
We may collect this information through cookies, server logs, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, and similar technologies.
The GMC Keyword Research application may request authorization to access Google Ads data through the Google Ads API.

OAuth access tokens and refresh tokens needed to maintain the authorized connection; and
other Google Ads information expressly permitted by the authorization scope shown on the Google consent screen.
The application does not request access to your Google password. Google handles the authorization process, and we receive only the permissions and tokens granted through Google OAuth.
We may use the information we collect to:
respond to inquiries and quotation requests;

Google user data accessed through the Google Ads API is used only for authorized advertising and keyword research functions, including:
retrieving keyword ideas and historical keyword metrics;
analyzing search demand, keyword trends, advertising competition, and bid ranges;
reviewing Google Ads campaign and search-term performance;
preparing internal keyword research, advertising, SEO, and reporting dashboards;
evaluating the relevance and commercial value of keywords;
improving GMC’s own Google Ads campaigns and website content strategy; and
maintaining the authorized Google Ads API connection.
We do not use Google user data for unrelated purposes.
We do not sell Google user data, use it to build advertising profiles for third parties, or transfer it to data brokers.
The GMC Keyword Research application is intended for GMC’s internal business use and for accounts that have expressly authorized access.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process personal information based on one or more of the following:
your consent;
steps requested by you before entering into a contract;
performance of a contract;
compliance with legal obligations;
protection of our legitimate business interests, including responding to business inquiries, improving our services, maintaining security, and operating our business; and
establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Our website may use necessary, analytics, functionality, and advertising cookies.
These technologies may be used to:
keep the website functioning correctly;
remember settings and preferences;
measure page visits and website performance;
understand how visitors navigate the website;
identify technical errors;
measure inquiries and advertising conversions; and
improve advertising and content effectiveness.
We currently use or may use services such as:
Google Analytics;
Google Tag Manager; and
Google Ads conversion tracking.
You may control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
Google may process information according to its own privacy policies. You can learn more through the Google Privacy Policy at:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
We may disclose information only when reasonably necessary to:
website hosting, infrastructure, email, analytics, security, and technical service providers;
logistics, testing, manufacturing, payment, professional advisory, and other service providers involved in fulfilling a legitimate business request;
affiliated entities, employees, and authorized contractors who need the information to perform their duties;
government authorities, courts, regulators, or law-enforcement agencies when required by law;
protect the rights, safety, property, and security of GMC, our customers, or others; or
complete a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or transfer of all or part of our business, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal protections.
Service providers may process information only for the services they provide to us and subject to applicable contractual, confidentiality, and security obligations.
We do not sell personal information submitted through our website.
Google user data is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for their independent advertising, marketing, credit, surveillance, or data-broker purposes.
Google user data may be accessed only by:
authorized GMC personnel who require access for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy;
infrastructure or hosting providers acting on our behalf and subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations;
Google, as necessary to provide the Google Ads API and OAuth services; or
authorities where disclosure is legally required.
We do not allow humans to read Google user data unless:
the authorized user has expressly permitted us to do so;
access is necessary for security, support, troubleshooting, or compliance purposes;
the data has been aggregated and anonymized for internal operations; or
access is otherwise permitted by applicable Google policies and law.
The GMC Keyword Research application’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Information about the Google API Services User Data Policy is available at:
https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy
We request only the permissions reasonably necessary to provide the disclosed features of the GMC Keyword Research application.
If we materially change how we access, use, store, or share Google user data, we will update this Privacy Policy and obtain additional consent where required before using the data for the new purpose.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against:
unauthorized access;
accidental loss;
improper use or disclosure;
alteration;
destruction; and
other unlawful processing.
These measures may include:
access controls and account permissions;
authentication controls;
secure credential and token storage;
encryption in transit;
restricted access to production systems;
system logging and monitoring;
confidentiality obligations; and
regular software and security maintenance.
OAuth client secrets, access tokens, and refresh tokens are treated as confidential credentials and are not intentionally exposed in public source-code repositories or public communications.
No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
respond to inquiries;
provide requested products or services;
maintain business, order, quality, tax, accounting, and compliance records;
fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy;
resolve disputes and enforce agreements; and
comply with applicable legal obligations.
Website analytics information may be retained according to the retention settings of the relevant analytics service.
Google Ads API data is retained only for as long as necessary for authorized keyword research, reporting, campaign analysis, security, and record-keeping purposes.
OAuth access tokens and refresh tokens may be retained while the Google Ads API connection remains authorized. They will be deleted, disabled, or rendered unusable when:
authorization is revoked;
the connected account is removed;
the application is discontinued;
the information is no longer required; or
deletion is required by applicable law or Google policy.
Where immediate deletion is not technically possible because information is stored in a secured backup, the information will remain protected and isolated from further use until the backup is deleted or overwritten according to our backup cycle.
You may revoke the GMC Keyword Research application’s access to your Google Account at any time through your Google Account security settings:
https://myaccount.google.com/connections
Revoking access prevents the application from obtaining new Google user data. Certain previously stored information may be retained only where necessary for legitimate security, legal, compliance, or record-keeping purposes, after which it will be deleted or anonymized.
You may also contact us at sales@guangdongmetal.com to request disconnection or deletion of Google user data associated with the application.
GMC operates from China and serves customers internationally. Information may therefore be processed or stored in countries or regions outside your place of residence.
Where required, we take reasonable measures intended to ensure that international transfers are subject to appropriate contractual, technical, and organizational protections.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:
request access to personal information we hold about you;
request correction of inaccurate information;
request deletion of personal information;
object to or restrict certain processing;
withdraw consent;
request a portable copy of information you provided;
opt out of certain marketing communications; and
submit a complaint to an applicable data-protection authority.
These rights may be subject to legal limitations and verification of your identity.

Please include sufficient information for us to identify the relevant records and understand your request. Do not send passwords, OAuth tokens, or other authentication credentials by email.
Our website, products, and the GMC Keyword Research application are intended for businesses and professionals. They are not directed to children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not control and are not responsible for their independent privacy or security practices.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service before providing personal information.
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, legal obligations, or data-processing practices change.
The updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Where required by law or Google policy, we will provide additional notice or request renewed consent.
