Privacy Policy

Atlantis Partners United, LLC ("APU", "we", "us", "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit apu-imports.com (the "Site") or contact us.

1. Who We Are

This Site is operated by Atlantis Partners United, LLC, a trading company based in Miami, Florida and Carolina Beach, North Carolina, USA. For all privacy matters, you may contact us at contact@apu-imports.com.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information you choose to provide and a limited set of technical data needed to operate the Site securely.
• Information you give us: when you complete a contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message, and, if you provide them, your company, phone number, professional function, country, and the subject of your inquiry.
• Technical information: when you submit a form, we record the IP address and browser user-agent associated with the submission, solely to prevent spam and abuse. Our server may also keep standard access logs.
• Preferences: we store your chosen language in a temporary session so the Site displays correctly.

We do not knowingly collect special categories of personal data, and we do not require you to create an account.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:
• respond to your inquiry and provide information, offers, or documentation;
• manage our commercial relationship if you become a customer or supplier;
• protect the Site against spam, fraud, and abuse;
• comply with our legal obligations.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling, and we never sell your personal data.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

For visitors in the European Union and United Kingdom, where the GDPR applies, we rely on: (a) your consent, given when you submit a form; (b) our legitimate interest in responding to inquiries and protecting the Site; and (c) compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site uses strictly necessary session cookies, for example, to maintain a security token (CSRF) for the contact form and to remember your language choice during your visit. With your consent, we may also use analytics to understand how the Site is used. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking that follows you across other websites. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.

6. Sharing Your Information

We share personal data only as needed:
• with our hosting and email service providers, who process data on our behalf under appropriate safeguards;
• where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

We never sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

7. International Data Transfers

Atlantis Partners United operates in the United States and works with producers and partners in Europe and elsewhere. As a result, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where required, we put appropriate safeguards in place for such transfers.

8. Data Retention

We keep inquiry data only as long as necessary to handle your request and maintain a reasonable commercial record, after which it is deleted or anonymized. Anti-spam technical logs are kept for a short period and then discarded.

9. Data Security

We protect the Site and your data with reasonable technical and organizational measures, including CSRF protection, submission rate-limiting, input validation, and transport encryption (HTTPS). No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, but we work to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

10. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, update, or delete the personal data we hold about you; to object to or restrict its processing; to withdraw consent; and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@apu-imports.com and we will respond within a reasonable time and as required by law.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version is always posted on this page with its effective date, and material changes will be highlighted where appropriate.
