Steeringshaft refers to the automotive parts manufacturing business operating under the Steeringshaft brand.

Our website is intended for business users, including importers, automotive parts wholesalers, distributors, and other commercial partners. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of information:

  • Communication records: messages, attachments, quotations, support requests, and other information you choose to provide.

We may collect information directly from you, from your organization, through our website, or from service providers and business partners who assist with legitimate commercial activities.

3. How we use information

We use personal information only when reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes, including to:

  • Send relevant business communications where permitted by applicable law and where you have not opted out.

Where required by law, we will rely on your consent or another lawful basis before processing your information. You may withdraw consent at any time, although this will not affect processing already carried out lawfully.

5. Data retention and security

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain business and accounting records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and satisfy legal obligations. Retention periods vary according to the nature and sensitivity of the information.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

6. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to object to certain processing, request data portability, or withdraw consent.

You may opt out of non-essential marketing communications by using the unsubscribe instructions in the message or by contacting us directly. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request, and some information may be retained where required by law or necessary for legitimate business purposes.

To exercise a right or raise a privacy concern, please contact us using the details in the final section. If you believe our response does not resolve your concern, you may have the right to contact a data protection authority in your jurisdiction.

7. International data transfers

As an export-oriented manufacturer serving customers in multiple markets, we may process or transfer business contact information across borders. Where required, we take reasonable steps to ensure that international transfers are conducted in accordance with applicable privacy laws and supported by appropriate safeguards.
