3. How We Use Your Data
Data submitted through our contact form is used exclusively to:
- respond to your request (distribution, partnership, investment, press, order);
- follow up on the business or partnership relationship you initiate with us.
We never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes.
4. Processors and Data Transfers
For the technical processing of contact forms, we use the third-party service Web3Forms, which routes messages directly to our email inbox without permanently storing them on its servers. This provider acts as a technical processor and does not use your data for any other purpose.
Our sites also use Google Fonts to display typefaces, which may result in a technical connection to Google's servers when the page loads.
5. Data Retention
Data submitted through the contact form is retained for as long as necessary to process your request, then archived or deleted within a reasonable period not exceeding 24 months in the absence of an ongoing business relationship.
6. Cookies and Trackers
Our sites do not use advertising cookies or marketing tracking tools. Certain external resources (Google Fonts) may technically involve a functional cookie related to their operation, beyond our control.
A consent banner informs you of this policy on your first visit. By continuing to browse our sites, you acknowledge having read this policy.

- Right of erasure: request deletion of your data;
- Right to object: object to the processing of your data on legitimate grounds.
To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@winexglobalindustries.com. We commit to responding within a reasonable timeframe.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with Benin's Personal Data Protection Authority (APDP) if you believe your rights are not being respected.
