At EVOVED AUTOMOBILE Co., Ltd. ("EVOVED", "we", "us", or "our"), we understand that confidentiality and data security are the foundation of successful international trade. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and protect your personal information when you use our website (https://nvova.com), engage with our export services, or communicate with our global sales and logistics teams.

This policy aligns with major global data protection frameworks, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), ensuring your data is handled with the highest standard of international compliance.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to you or your business operations.

A. Information You Provide Directly

  • Identity & Contact Data: First and last name, corporate title, company name, email address, physical shipping address, and phone numbers.

  • Financial & Transaction Data: Bank account details, billing addresses, and payment confirmation documents necessary to execute T/T or L/C transactions.

  • Compliance & Customs Data: Government-issued identification, corporate registration documents, tax identification numbers (e.g., VAT/EORI), and import license details required for international customs clearance.

B. Information Collected Automatically

  • Technical Data: Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types, operating system, and platform.

  • Usage Data: Information about how you navigate our website, including the specific vehicle inventory pages you view, length of visit, and interaction metrics.

C. Vehicle Data (Post-Purchase)

  • Export Telemetry: For modern smart vehicles and connected EVs, we may process specific vehicle identification numbers (VINs), battery state-of-health (SOH) diagnostic reports, and technical inspection data strictly to fulfill export compliance and warranty registration prior to shipment.

2. How We Use Your Information

We only process your personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so. We use your information to:

  • Fulfill Contracts: Process vehicle orders, generate Proforma Invoices, arrange third-party inspections, and execute global logistics and shipping.

  • Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Verify your identity for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks, prepare export licenses, and facilitate customs clearance at your destination port.

  • Provide Customer Support: Respond to inquiries, provide shipping status updates via tracking numbers, and manage after-sales warranty claims.

  • Improve Our Services: Analyze website usage to optimize our digital catalog and improve the B2B user experience.

3. Data Sharing & Third-Party Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. To execute global vehicle exports, we must share specific information with trusted third parties:

  • Logistics & Freight Partners: Shipping lines (RoRo and Container), freight forwarders, and destination port agents handling the physical transport of your vehicle.

  • Customs Authorities & Brokers: Chinese export authorities and designated local customs brokers to ensure legal border clearance.

  • Inspection Agencies: Independent certification bodies (e.g., SGS, TÜV) that require buyer details for official roadworthy certificates.

  • Financial Institutions: Banks and financial processing partners required to secure Letters of Credit (L/C) or clear international wire transfers.

4. International Data Transfers

Because EVOVED operates globally from our headquarters in Shanghai, China, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed outside your country of residence.

  • When transferring data from the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK to China or other jurisdictions, we rely on legally recognized safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection.

5. Data Security & Retention

  • Security Measures: We implement enterprise-grade technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes SSL encryption for our website and secure data housing for financial records.

  • Retention Period: We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including satisfying any legal, accounting, maritime, or reporting requirements (typically 5 to 7 years following a transaction, depending on jurisdiction).
