Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2026

Andhra Meridian ("Andhra Meridian", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your corporate and personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of data when you use our website, submit Requests for Quotations (RFQs), or engage our sourcing and export coordination services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to effectively coordinate global seafood sourcing and logistics. This includes:

• Corporate Identity Data: Company name, registration details, physical addresses, and corporate website.
• Contact Information: Names, job titles, business email addresses, and phone numbers of authorized representatives.
• Commercial Specifications: Product requirements, quality parameters, target pricing, volume estimates, and destination ports submitted via our RFQ platform.
• Technical Data: IP addresses, browser types, time zone settings, and operating systems collected automatically via essential website cookies to ensure platform security.

2. Purpose of Data Processing

We process your data strictly for legitimate B2B commercial purposes, including:

• Evaluating and executing sourcing requirements (RFQs).
• Coordinating with verified Indian seafood processing plants on your behalf.
• Managing export documentation, customs clearance, and freight forwarding logistics.
• Fulfilling legal, regulatory, and compliance obligations related to international trade.

3. Data Confidentiality & Sharing

Confidentiality is the cornerstone of our coordination model. Andhra Meridian maintains strict barriers between buyers and individual processing plants.

We do not sell your data. We only share necessary data with third parties under the following conditions:

• Processing Partners: Only sanitized, anonymized product specifications are shared with factories during the initial quoting phase. Your corporate identity is only disclosed upon execution of a formal commercial agreement.
• Logistics Providers: Necessary destination and volume data is shared with shipping lines, freight forwarders, and customs agents to facilitate export.
• Legal Requirements: If required by international trade laws, customs authorities, or binding legal processes.

4. Data Security

We implement enterprise-grade technical and organizational measures to protect your commercial data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All RFQ submissions and communications are encrypted in transit. Access to sensitive commercial data is strictly limited to authorized Andhra Meridian personnel on a need-to-know basis.

5. Data Retention

We retain commercial and personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by international trade regulations and tax laws (typically up to 7 years post-transaction).

6. Your Global Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the GDPR in Europe and the CCPA in California), you possess specific rights regarding your personal data:

• The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
• The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• The right to request deletion of your data, subject to our legal retention requirements.
• The right to object to the processing of your data for specific purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, please submit a formal request to our compliance team.
