Privacy Policy
- This policy is tailored for himalayansaltexport.com, a B2B wholesale site focused on global Himalayan salt distribution, emphasizing trust and compliance with laws like GDPR and CCPA.
- It covers data collection (e.g., contact details for quotes), usage (e.g., order processing), sharing (limited to necessary partners like shippers), and your rights (e.g., access or delete data).
- Research suggests most e-commerce policies should include clear sections on cookies, international transfers, and security to build user confidence, though exact requirements vary by location.
- It seems likely that for international exports, highlighting GDPR safeguards is key for EU clients, while CCPA opt-out options appeal to U.S. wholesalers.

At HimalayanSaltExport.com, we’re dedicated to exporting high-quality Himalayan pink salt worldwide, serving wholesalers and distributors with bulk options, private labeling, and sustainable sourcing from Pakistan’s mines.
Just as we commit to delivering pure, mineral-rich products without additives, we handle your personal information with the utmost care and transparency.
This Privacy Policy details how we collect, use, protect, and share your data when you visit our site, request quotes, or engage in business with us. We’ve crafted it in plain language to make it easy to understand, drawing from standard best practices for e-commerce and B2B export sites.
Our policy complies with key global laws like the GDPR for European users and CCPA for California residents, ensuring your trust as we build lasting partnerships.
We last updated this policy on November 28, 2025. If changes occur—perhaps due to new laws or business updates—we’ll post them here and email you if applicable. This keeps everything current and straightforward.
The Basics: What Personal Information Do We Collect?
We only gather what’s necessary to support your wholesale inquiries and exports. For a B2B site like ours, this focuses on business-related details rather than extensive consumer tracking. Here’s a breakdown:
- Contact and Business Details: Name, email, phone, company name, shipping/billing address, and order preferences (e.g., grain sizes or packaging) when you submit forms for quotes, catalogs, or orders.
- Payment Information: Credit card or bank details for bulk purchases, processed securely via trusted gateways—we don’t store them long-term.
- Browsing and Usage Data: Automatically collected info like IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent, to improve site functionality and understand global user trends (e.g., visits from USA or Europe).
- Cookies and Trackers: Data from cookies for site performance, remembering preferences, or analytics—see our dedicated section below.
We don’t collect sensitive data like health info unless relevant to specific products (e.g., wellness items), and we avoid gathering anything from minors under 18, as our site is for business professionals.
How Do We Collect This Information?
Collection is straightforward and minimal:
- Directly from You: Via contact forms, quote requests, newsletter sign-ups, or account creation for repeat wholesalers.
- Automatically: Through cookies, analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics), or server logs as you browse product pages on edible salts or bath items.
- From Partners: Rarely, from referrals or third-party services, but always verified.
For international users, we ensure methods align with laws like GDPR, requiring consent where needed.
Why Do We Use Your Information?
Your data helps us run an efficient export business. We use it responsibly for:
| Purpose | Examples | Legal Basis (e.g., GDPR) |
| Business Operations | Processing quotes for 1-ton jumbo bags, managing orders, or customizing private labels. | Contract performance or legitimate interest in serving wholesalers. |
| Communication | Responding to inquiries about export to countries like Canada or Germany, or sending order updates. | Consent or contract necessity. |
| Site Improvement | Analyzing traffic to product categories like animal licks or wellness lamps. | Legitimate interest in enhancing user experience. |
| Marketing | Optional emails on new certifications (e.g., Halal) or deals for distributors—if you opt in. | Explicit consent. |
| Legal Compliance | Handling export regulations, disputes, or audits. | Legal obligation. |
We never use data for unrelated purposes without your okay, and we avoid automated decision-making that significantly affects you.
Do We Share Your Information?
We share minimally, only when essential for business:
- Service Providers: With shippers (e.g., DHL for global deliveries), payment processors, or IT support to fulfill orders securely.
- Business Partners: For joint ventures or affiliates, but they must follow this policy.
- Legal Reasons: If required by law (e.g., customs for international shipments) or to protect our rights.
- Business Changes: In mergers or sales, with notice to you.
No selling to marketers—ever. For international transfers (e.g., from Pakistan to EU), we use safeguards like standard contractual clauses to meet GDPR standards, ensuring data protection across borders.
How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?
Security mirrors our commitment to product quality:
- Measures: Encryption for transmissions, firewalls, regular scans, and access controls limited to our trained team.
- Breach Response: If issues arise, we’ll notify you promptly as per laws like GDPR.
- Limitations: While we use industry standards, no system is 100% secure— we strive for the best.
Our over 400 professionals in mining and export adhere to these protocols.
