Privacy Policy
Effective date: 3 November 2026 · Last updated: 3 November 2026
1. Who we are
This website is operated by Wenzhou Jinying Media Co., Ltd. (温州金鹰传媒), the organizer of the Wenzhou International Pump, Valve & Pipeline Exhibition (PVPeW). For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are the controller of the personal data described in this policy.
The website is hosted on Alibaba Cloud in Singapore. Our organizing team and service providers may access the site and its data from China and other countries. You can contact us at Lily@valve-expo.com; Daisy@valve-expo.com or on the show hotline 400-0577-686.
2. Information we collect
We collect information in three ways:
- Information you give us. Our inquiry, exhibitor application, visitor pre-registration and on-site matchmaking forms may ask for your name, company, position, mobile number, email address, country, city, purchase interests, booth type and booth area, and the message or meeting topic you choose to provide. The same details may reach us by email or phone.
- Information collected automatically. We record page views, clicks, internal search terms, the referring page or channel, the browser time zone (used only to derive an approximate region), language, screen size and device/browser family. Our servers also receive standard request metadata such as IP address, user agent, request time, requested path and error information.
- Cookies and similar storage. We use the cookies and browser storage listed in section 4, together with Google analytics and advertising tags described in section 5.
We do not ask for payment card details, government identification numbers or other sensitive personal data on this website. Please do not send sensitive data through the forms. We do not sell or rent personal data.
3. How we use information and our legal bases
We use personal data only for the purposes below. Under the GDPR, our legal basis depends on the purpose and the relationship we have with you.
| Purpose | Data used | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Respond to inquiries and contact requests | Name, company, phone/email, message | Contract or pre-contract steps (Art. 6(1)(b)); legitimate interests in responding to business inquiries (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Process exhibitor applications, booth allocation and show services | Company, contact person, position, mobile, email, country, city, booth type and area, product category, message | Contract or pre-contract steps (Art. 6(1)(b)); legal obligations for exhibition records where applicable (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Visitor pre-registration, badge issue and admission | Name, company, mobile, email, purchase intention | Contract or pre-contract steps (Art. 6(1)(b)); legal and safety obligations (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Arrange on-site business matchmaking | Name, company, mobile, email, meeting date/time, topic, selected exhibitor | Contract or pre-contract steps (Art. 6(1)(b)); consent where required (Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| Measure site use, improve the website and evaluate advertising | Page/click/search events, cookies, device and approximate region; Google analytics and Ads data | Consent where required (Art. 6(1)(a)); otherwise legitimate interests in operating and improving the site (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Protect the site, prevent abuse and maintain security | IP address, user agent, request logs, error and abuse records | Legitimate interests in security (Art. 6(1)(f)); legal obligations where applicable (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we balance those interests against your rights and expectations and use the minimum data needed.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
We use a small number of first-party cookies/storage keys and Google tags. Non-essential first-party attribution is only written after you accept the cookie banner. You can decline non-essential cookies, and you can clear or block cookies in your browser at any time.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
expo_ch | Records the channel or campaign marker in a ?ch= link so we can understand which source brought a visitor to the show site. | 30 days | First-party analytics/attribution cookie; non-essential, written only after consent. |
cookie_consent | Stores your cookie choice (accepted or declined) so the banner does not ask again. | Until you clear browser storage | First-party preference storage (localStorage; not sent to our server); strictly necessary for remembering your choice. |
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 uses these to distinguish users and sessions and measure site use. | Up to 24 months, depending on the GA4 property setting | Third-party analytics cookies set by Google. |
_gcl_au and similar _gcl_* | Google Ads uses these to measure conversions and advertising performance. | Up to 90 days, depending on the Google Ads setting | Third-party advertising cookies set by Google. |
Google Tag Manager itself is a container and normally does not set cookies; the Google tags loaded through it may do so. Google controls the names and durations of its own cookies, and these may change. See the Google links in section 5 for current details. Blocking cookies may affect parts of the site but does not prevent you from reading its public pages.
5. Analytics, advertising and third parties
We use Google Tag Manager container GTM-K7CZZSXB to load Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-PFBH7L4LEY) and Google Ads (conversion ID AW-18509810051). Our analytics events include generate_lead, view_item, gads_click and form_start. These events help us understand which pages and enquiries are useful and whether advertising is working. We do not use them to make automated decisions that produce legal effects for you.
Our own first-party event endpoint /api/track records page path, clicks, internal search terms, referring host, channel marker, approximate region derived from the browser time zone, language, screen size and device/browser family. It does not attach your name, email address or phone number to those events. Standard request metadata such as IP address and user agent may still be processed by the web server for security and aggregate measurement.
| Provider | Role | Privacy information |
|---|---|---|
| Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics / Google Ads | Tag management, analytics and advertising measurement | Google Privacy Policy · How Google uses data for advertising |
| Alibaba Cloud | Website hosting and infrastructure in Singapore | Alibaba Cloud Privacy Policy |
We do not sell personal data. We may share data with service providers that help us run the website, process registrations or provide analytics, and with public authorities where required by law. Links to exhibitor or other external websites are not covered by this policy; please read the privacy policy of each site you visit.
6. How long we keep data
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or anonymize it unless the law requires a longer period.
| Record | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Inquiry and contact messages | 24 months from the last contact |
| Exhibitor applications and booth records | 24 months after the application or the relevant show |
| Visitor pre-registration and badge records | 12 months after the show |
| Matchmaking requests | 12 months after the show |
/api/track analytics events | 120 days |
| Server and security logs | Up to 90 days, unless needed for a security investigation |
| Google Analytics | Up to 14 months, depending on the GA4 property setting |
Cookie durations are shown in section 4. Backup copies may remain for a short additional period before routine rotation.
7. International transfers
Our website is hosted in Singapore, and our organizing team and service providers may access data from China and other countries. Google may process analytics and advertising data in the United States and other countries. Where personal data leaves the EEA or the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, an adequacy decision, or your consent where required. You can contact us for more information about the safeguards used.
8. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy.

- Delete data where there is no lawful reason for us to keep it.

10. Security
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including access controls, encrypted connections and limited retention. No website or transmission method is completely secure; if you believe your data has been compromised, contact us immediately.
11. Children
PVPeW is a trade exhibition for professional visitors aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information, contact us and we will delete it.
