Who we are

Controller: Distribution Business editorial team. Contact: [email protected].

We operate an informational content site for wholesale distribution professionals. We do not operate a storefront checkout on this domain.

Information we collect

Information you provide: email address and message content if you contact us; any details you include in voluntary correspondence.

Automatically collected: IP address, browser type, device/OS hints, referring URL, pages viewed, and approximate timestamps — typically via server logs and analytics tools.

Cookies and similar technologies: see our Cookie Policy for categories and controls.

How we use information

To operate and secure the website, respond to inquiries, improve content usefulness, measure traffic, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use contact emails for bulk marketing unless you explicitly opt in to a future newsletter.

Sharing

Service providers (hosting, CDN, analytics) may process data on our behalf under contractual restrictions.

Affiliate and partner sites: if you click outbound product links, those third parties may set their own cookies and collect data under their policies. See Affiliate Disclosure.

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.

Retention and security

We retain contact emails and related correspondence as long as needed to resolve the request and for legitimate business records, then delete or anonymize when no longer required.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards; no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Your choices and rights

Depending on your location (including EEA/UK and certain US states), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data, or to object to certain processing.

To exercise rights or ask questions, email [email protected]. You may also control cookies via browser settings and our Cookie Policy.

Children

This site is intended for business professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.

Changes

We may update this policy periodically. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
