Privacy Policy

Meridian Core Links Limited (CAC RC: 9571944), Plot 30/33 Sani Abacha Road, GRA Phase III, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, is the data controller responsible for the personal information described in this Policy.

• Contact and business details you submit through our procurement, commodity, partnership, export or custom sourcing forms — name, company name, email address, phone number and country.
• Requirement information — product categories, specifications, volumes, destinations and any message content you provide.
• Correspondence — messages exchanged with us by email, WhatsApp or WeChat.
• Supplier and counterparty due-diligence information — registration documents, certificates and references provided during verification.
• Technical data — basic server log data such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, used to operate and secure the website.

We do not knowingly collect information from children, and we do not collect special categories of personal data through this website.

• To respond to procurement, export, commodity and partnership requests and prepare quotations.
• To carry out supplier, buyer and counterparty verification and due diligence.
• To perform a contract with you, including sourcing, inspection coordination, export documentation and logistics.
• To comply with legal, customs, export-control, sanctions and anti-money laundering obligations.
• To send service updates and, where you have opted in, occasional business updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Our lawful bases for processing are performance of a contract or steps taken at your request, compliance with legal obligations, your consent (for marketing), and our legitimate interest in operating and securing our business.

We share information only as necessary to deliver the Services, including with verified suppliers or buyers relevant to your request, independent inspection agencies, freight forwarders and customs brokers, banks and payment providers, professional advisers, and regulators or authorities where required by law. We do not sell personal information.

Because our services are cross-border, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own, including Nigeria, China, the United Arab Emirates, India and other markets in which we source. Where information is transferred out of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses and share only what is necessary for the transaction.

We retain enquiry data for up to 24 months from last contact, and transaction, export and due-diligence records for the period required by Nigerian tax, customs and export regulations — typically not less than six years. After that, records are deleted or anonymised.

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, including access controls, encrypted transport and restricted document handling. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location — including under the Nigeria Data Protection Act and, for EU/UK individuals, the GDPR — you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request erasure of information we no longer need to retain;
• Object to or restrict certain processing, including direct marketing;
• Request a portable copy of information you provided to us; and
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing already carried out.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@meridiancorelinks.com. We respond within 30 days. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

This website uses only the cookies and local storage strictly necessary to operate the site and remember your preferences. Embedded content such as the Google Maps location frame may set cookies controlled by that provider. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Our website links to third-party services including WhatsApp and WeChat. Their handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policies, not this one.

We may update this Policy from time to time. The revised version takes effect when posted, and the "last updated" date above will change accordingly.
