Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://www.directchinaguide.com.

At Direct China Guide (accessible from directchinaguide.com), the privacy of our visitors is one of our main priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and how we safeguard your data.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly to us, and information collected automatically when you navigate our site.

• Voluntary Information: If you contact us directly, subscribe to a newsletter, or comment on our articles, we may collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
• Automated Information (Log Files): Like most websites, we use log files and analytics tools. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and the number of clicks. This data is not linked to any personally identifiable information and is used purely to analyze trends and improve user experience.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Direct China Guide uses “cookies” to store information about visitors’ preferences and the specific pages they access. This information is used to optimize the user experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors’ browser type and geographical region.

Advertising Partners & Third-Party Services

We may display advertisements from third-party suppliers, service providers, or ad networks on our website.

Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Direct China Guide. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.

Note: Direct China Guide has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers. You should consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Prevent fraudulent behavior and ensure safe cross-border browsing.
• Provide, operate, and maintain our website.
• Improve, personalize, and expand our educational content.
• Understand and analyze how visitors use our site.
• Communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, for customer service or updates.

Global Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

We want to ensure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user—regardless of geographical location—is entitled to the following:

• The Right to Erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
• The Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
• The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

Children’s Information

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We do not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best to promptly remove such information from our records.
