This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain and protect personal information when you use our websites, products, customer support and other services that link to this Policy (collectively, the “Services”). It also explains the privacy rights and choices available to you. This Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services that have their own privacy notices.

Our Services are available in multiple jurisdictions. We process personal information only when we have an applicable legal basis, including contractual necessity, legitimate interests, consent or compliance with law, as described in Section III. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting processing already carried out lawfully before withdrawal.

Please do not include this information about yourself or others in free-text fields, support messages or uploaded files unless it is strictly necessary and you are legally permitted to provide it.

If you choose a service not described above and additional personal information is required, we will provide an appropriate notice and obtain consent where consent is the required legal basis.

   III. Legal Basis and How We Use Your Personal Information

We use personal information only when an applicable data-protection law permits us to do so. Depending on the context and jurisdiction, our legal bases include performance of a contract, our legitimate interests or those of a third party, your consent, and compliance with legal obligations. The purposes and legal bases are described below.

1. Contractual necessity

We process your personal information where it is necessary to enter into and/or perform a contract with you. This includes:

• • Administering your account and providing the Services you have requested;
  • Processing your orders and delivering the products and services that you have ordered;
  • Understanding, diagnosing, troubleshooting, and resolving issues to ensure the Services function as agreed;
  • Communicating with you regarding the Services, including fulfilling your specific requests, providing updates, and responding to your inquiries via different channels (e.g., phone, email, chat).

2. Legitimate interests

When we rely on legitimate interests, we assess the necessity and proportionality of the processing and balance our interests against your rights and reasonable expectations. We do not rely on legitimate interests where your interests or fundamental rights override our interests. You may have a right to object to this processing, as described in Section VII.

• • Improving, testing and developing the Services, including conducting analytics and research to understand performance and user needs;

We rely on your consent for the following processing activities:

4. Compliance With Applicable Laws and Regulations

  • Providing data to regulatory bodies in connection with legally mandated audits, inspections, or investigations;
  • Other necessary activities to comply with professional, legal and regulatory obligations that apply to our business.

 

      IV.How We Share Your Personal Information

1. Sharing with your consent:

Where you have given us your freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous consent, we may share the personal information you have authorized with third parties designated by you.

You may withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Withdrawal can be exercised via the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

2. Sharing under statutory circumstances

We may share your personal information where necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations, defend our legal interests in legal proceedings, or to respond to lawful requests, court orders, or other legal processes from competent authorities.

3. Sharing with our affiliates

To provide consistent Services across our group, manage accounts, process orders and provide technical or customer support, we may disclose personal information to relevant companies within the JLC group. Each affiliate may act as a controller or processor depending on the activity. We limit these disclosures to information reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy and apply appropriate intra-group data-protection safeguards. Where an affiliate uses personal information for a new purpose, it will provide any additional notice required by law.

4. Sharing with business partners

We may share the necessary personal information with the following categories of third-party partners to perform certain features or to provide you with better service:

• • Payment service providers to process your transactions;
  • Logistics and delivery partners to fulfill your orders and provide tracking services;
  • Advertising and analytics platforms, such as Google, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft and LinkedIn where used, for audience measurement, conversion tracking and remarketing, subject to applicable consent and opt-out requirements;
  • Technical service providers(such as cloud storage partners) to provide data hosting services.

We require service providers and contractors to protect personal information, maintain confidentiality, use it only for agreed purposes and comply with applicable data-protection law. Some recipients, such as payment providers, social networks or advertising platforms, may act as independent controllers under their own privacy notices.

We may also disclose aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be linked to you. We maintain and use de-identified information in de-identified form and do not attempt to re-identify it except as permitted by law to test our de-identification processes.

5. Data Transfers in a Merger, Acquisition or Similar Transaction

In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset transfer or other similar transaction involving the transfer of personal information, we will ensure that the new controller is bound by appropriate data protection obligations. Where required by applicable law, we will inform you of such transfer and provide you with the contact details of the new controller.

       V. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on a computer, tablet, phone or similar device. We use cookies and similar technologies on our websites to operate and secure the Services, remember preferences, analyze performance and, subject to your choices, support personalized advertising. Our cookie banner enables you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Where consent is required, only strictly necessary cookies are active before you make a choice. We do not use cookies for purposes materially different from those described in this Policy and our Cookie Notice without providing any required notice or choice.

Our Services use the following cookies:

• • Strictly necessary cookies,which are required for the operation of the Services. Without them, for example, you would not be able to use your Account. These cookies cannot be turned off.
  • Functionality cookies,which we use to remember your preferences, such as language, currency, shipping options.
  • Analytical/performance cookies,which are used to monitor website usage and improve the Services.
  • Targeting/advertising cookies,which are used to deliver relevant advertisements and measure their effectiveness.

Subject to your cookie choices, we and our partners may use cookies or similar technologies to understand use of the Services, improve performance, measure campaigns and provide advertising based on browsing activity and inferred interests.

You may use “Cookie Settings” to change or withdraw your preferences at any time. Depending on your location, we also recognize applicable browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, for sale, sharing or targeted-advertising opt-outs. Disabling non-essential cookies may affect personalization or certain optional features but should not prevent core account and purchasing functions.

For the names of cookies and providers, their purposes and durations, and instructions for managing browser and third-party cookies, please review our Cookie Notice. We update the Cookie Notice to reflect the technologies used in production.

      VI. Cross-Border Data Transfers

We currently host primary Service data on servers located in Frankfurt, Germany. Our global operations may require authorized affiliates, support teams and service providers in other countries, including Mainland China, to access or process personal information.

When we transfer personal information internationally, the destination country's laws may provide a different level of protection. We use safeguards required by applicable law and limit transfers to what is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. These safeguards may include adequacy decisions, contractual protections, access controls and other technical and organizational measures.

For personal information transferred from the European Economic Area to a country that has not been recognized as providing adequate protection, we use the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and, where appropriate, conduct a transfer impact assessment and apply supplementary safeguards. For transfers governed by UK data-protection law, we use a valid UK transfer mechanism, such as the UK Addendum or International Data Transfer Agreement, where required.

You may contact privacy@lcsc.com for more information about the applicable transfer mechanism or to request a copy of relevant safeguards, subject to appropriate redactions.

Where required, we review the legal, contractual, technical and organizational safeguards for international transfers and update them when processing or legal requirements change.

 

    VII. Your Rights

Privacy laws applicable in your country may give you a number of rights in relation to your personal information:

Right to be informed	To know what personal information we process and why (as set out in this Privacy Policy)
Right of access	To obtain a copy of your personal information (subject to identity verification)
Right of rectification	To require us to correct any mistakes or incomplete personal information
Right to erasure	To require us to delete your personal information in certain situations (subject to legal retention requirements)
Right to restrict processing	To require us to restrict processing of your personal information in certain circumstances, e.g., if you contest the accuracy of the data
Right to data portability	To receive the personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or to have it transmitted to another third party in certain situations
Right to object	To object at any time to your personal information being processed for direct marketing (including profiling); In certain other situations to our continued processing of your personal information, e.g., processing carried out for the purpose of our legitimate interests
Automated decision-making	We do not engage in processing that produces decisions based solely on automated processing with legal or similarly significant effects for you. Where we use automated tools for risk screening, human review is available upon request.

 

The rights available to you depend on your location and are subject to legal conditions and exceptions. They may include rights not listed above. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

You can access or correct much of your profile information by signing in to your LCSC account. To exercise another privacy right, email privacy@lcsc.com or use the privacy-request method identified in Section XV. Please describe your request and the Service or account involved.

To protect you and other users, we may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and authority. We respond within the period required by applicable law. For EEA and UK requests, this is ordinarily one month, subject to a permitted extension for complex or numerous requests; if we extend the period, we will explain why.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the data-protection or privacy regulator in your place of residence, place of work or the location of the alleged infringement. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also have a right to appeal our decision.

 

     VIII. Protection of Personal Information

1. Data Security and Technical Measures

We take the security of your personal information very seriously. We use a variety of administrative, technical, organizational, and physical security measures designed to protect personal data, taking into account the nature of personal data, the processing involved, and the risks presented. Our security measures aim to prevent accidental loss, destruction, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access to your personal information.

Please note that the Internet is not an absolutely secure environment. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. To help safeguard your account, we strongly recommend that you create a unique and complex password and do not reuse passwords from other sites, as doing so increases the risk of falling victim to credential stuffing attacks or other malicious cyber activities. If you suspect that the security of your account or personal data has been compromised, please contact us immediately as described in the "Contact Us" section below.

2. Third-Party Data Protection Requirements

Before disclosing personal information to service providers or contractors, we assess the relationship and require appropriate contractual, confidentiality, security and data-protection commitments. We use data-processing terms or comparable agreements where required and maintain proportionate oversight. If a third party breaches its obligations, we may require remediation, suspend access or exercise contractual and legal remedies.

3. Personal Information Breach Notification

If a personal-data breach occurs, we activate incident-response procedures designed to contain the event, investigate its cause and reduce potential harm. We notify affected individuals and competent authorities when, in the form and within the time required by applicable law. Notices may describe the nature and likely consequences of the breach, measures taken or proposed, and practical steps individuals may take to protect themselves.

 

     IX. Your Choices and Controls

Depending on your location, you may access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of personal information, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, or exercise another applicable privacy right. Section VII explains how to submit a request.

You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link in a message or managing your preferences under My Account > Subscription. We may continue to send non-promotional service communications, such as order, security and account notices. We retain a limited suppression record so that we can honor your opt-out.

You may change non-essential cookie choices through Cookie Settings and, where applicable, opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising through the “Your Privacy Choices” or “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link. Applicable browser-based opt-out preference signals are also processed as described in Section V.

You may request account deletion by following the method in Section XIII. We may verify your identity and retain limited information where required or permitted by law, including for tax, accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution and security purposes.

 

     X. Third Party Tracking and Online Advertising

LCSC works with analytics and advertising platforms to measure Service use, understand campaign performance and, subject to your choices, support interest-based advertising. Depending on the tools enabled, these platforms may receive cookie identifiers, IP address, device and browser data, pages viewed, interactions and transaction-event data. Current providers and cookie durations are described in the Cookie Notice.

Use LCSC's Cookie Settings and privacy-choice links to manage LCSC's disclosures. You may also use provider-specific controls, which operate under each provider's own terms and privacy notice:

• • Google: For Google Analytics, you canvisit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

You may also manage choices across participating advertising networks through the Network Advertising Initiative at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/.

 

    XI. Additional Information for United States Consumers

This section supplements the rest of this Policy for residents of U.S. states with applicable comprehensive privacy laws. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, the “CCPA”), provides the disclosures and rights described below to eligible California residents. Terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning in this section.

Collection of Personal Information:

The categories of personal information we collected, used and disclosed during the preceding 12 months are described in Section I and the table below. Our actual practices depend on which Services and features you use.

The personal information that we collect, or have collected in the preceding 12 months, falls into the following categories of personal information, as enumerated by the CCPA:

• • Identifiers:Your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, account ID, device ID, IP address, and similar identifiers;
  • Commercial Information: Records of products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies;
  • Geolocation data: Country, city, approximate location inferred from IP address;
  • Sensitive personal information: account log-in credentials when combined with a password or other information that permits account access;
  • Professional or employment-related information:Company name, job title, business contact information, industry;
  • Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information:Including browsing history, search history, and information regarding your interaction with our website, applications, or advertisements;
  • Inferences Drawn from Other Personal Information: profiles reflecting preferences and Service-usage patterns;

 

Sale or Sharing of Personal Information:

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. However, the CCPA definitions of “sell” and “share” are broader than an exchange for money. Disclosing identifiers, internet or network activity, or inferences to advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute “sharing” under the CCPA.

Where applicable, you may opt out by selecting “Your Privacy Choices” or “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” and confirming your choice. We also process qualifying opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control. An opt-out does not prevent disclosures to service providers or contractors for permitted business purposes.

During the preceding 12 months, we may have shared identifiers, internet or electronic network activity information, and inferences with advertising and analytics platforms for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration, and we do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16.

If you are an eligible California resident, the CCPA may provide the following rights, subject to verification and legal exceptions:

• • to know what categories of personal information we have collected and used, including how the personal information was collected;
  • to know the categories of personal information sold, shared or disclosed for a business purpose, the categories of recipients, and, where applicable, the specific pieces of personal information collected about you;
  • to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information;
  • to access your personal information, including the right to download or transfer personal information collected;
  • to ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected;
  • to limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information where that right applies. We currently use account credentials for authentication and security and not to infer characteristics about you;
  • to ask that your personal information be deleted;
  • to receive equal service and pricing when you exercise CCPA rights, except where a permitted financial-incentive program applies.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless allowed by the CCPA, we will not:

• • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

 

How to Exercise U.S. State Privacy Rights

Submit a request by emailing privacy@lcsc.com or, where available, through your account or customer-support channel. You may use an authorized agent where permitted; we may require proof of authority and may verify your identity directly. We do not charge a fee unless a request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive and applicable law permits a fee.

If we deny a request, we will explain the reason and any available appeal process. Where an appeal right applies, you may appeal by replying to our decision email with “Privacy Appeal” in the subject line. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

If we offer a financial incentive or a price or service difference related to the collection, retention, sale or sharing of personal information, we will provide a separate notice describing the material terms, how the value is calculated, and how to opt in or withdraw.

Other U.S. State Rights

Residents of other U.S. states may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a portable copy of personal information; opt out of targeted advertising, sale or certain profiling; obtain a list of specific third parties where required; and appeal a denied request. We will apply these rights and any recognized universal opt-out mechanism when the relevant law applies to LCSC and the request.

    XII.Children's Privacy

Our Services are intended for businesses and adults and are not directed to children under 16 or under the age of digital consent in the relevant jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. We also do not knowingly sell or share, for cross-context behavioral advertising, the personal information of consumers under 16. If we learn that we collected personal information from a child without required parental authorization, we will take appropriate steps to delete it. A parent or guardian who believes a child provided personal information may contact us as described in Section XV.

 

    XIII. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary and proportionate for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide the Services, maintain security, resolve disputes and comply with legal, tax, accounting and regulatory obligations. Retention is determined by the type and sensitivity of information, the processing purpose, legal requirements, operational needs and risk of harm. At the end of the applicable period, we securely delete or de-identify the information unless continued retention is required or permitted by law.

Our retention approach includes the following:

• • Account information: retained while the account is active and for a limited period after closure for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution and legal compliance; authentication data is deleted or irreversibly de-identified when no longer required.
  • Order, transaction, invoice and tax records: retained for the period required by applicable tax, accounting, customs, product-compliance and limitation laws, which may vary by jurisdiction.
  • Logistics and delivery information: retained in line with the related transaction record and carrier, customs, warranty, recall and dispute requirements.
  • Customer-support records: retained for the period needed to resolve the request, maintain service history, improve support and establish or defend legal claims; any recordings follow a separately approved retention period.
  • Marketing preferences: retained until you opt out or the data is no longer needed; a limited suppression record may be retained longer to ensure that your opt-out continues to be honored.

Account Deletion:

You may request deletion of your account by emailing privacy@lcsc.com or using an available in-account deletion function or privacy-request form. After identity verification, we will process the request within the period required by applicable law. Some information may be retained where required or permitted for legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, transaction records, recalls, disputes or the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Extended Retention:

In certain circumstances, such as an ongoing dispute, legal hold, investigation by a competent authority or security incident, we may retain relevant personal information longer than the standard period, limited to what is necessary for that purpose.

 

    XIV. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our Services, processing activities or legal requirements. We will post the revised Policy on the relevant website and update the effective date. If a change materially affects your rights or how we use personal information, we will provide additional notice, such as a prominent website notice, account message or email, where required by law. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
