Shuowei · Website privacy
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 13 November 2026
This policy explains how Hebei Shuowei Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Shuowei”, “we”, “us”) handles personal information in connection with hfwooddryer.com, its wood-drying information and inquiry forms, and the services used to operate them.
On this page
1. Information we handle
- Information you provide: your name, work email, company, country, optional telephone or WhatsApp number, and messages you send to us.
- Project details: timber species and dimensions, moisture conditions and targets, batch volumes, production requirements, proposed equipment and site utilities that you choose to include in an inquiry.
- Technical information: hosting and security services may process IP addresses, browser and device information, requested pages, timestamps, referring pages, verification results and error or delivery information needed to operate and protect the website.
Please provide only information relevant to your inquiry. Our forms do not ask for payment-card details, identity documents, medical information or your Google password.
2. How we use information
We use inquiry information to respond to questions, assess wood-drying requirements, discuss equipment or trials, prepare technical or commercial correspondence, and provide requested project support. We use relevant technical information to operate the site, investigate errors and prevent spam, abuse and duplicate requests.
Sending an inquiry does not itself subscribe you to a marketing mailing list. If you have separately agreed to marketing communications, you can change that preference by contacting us or using an available unsubscribe option.
3. Cloudflare Turnstile
Our inquiry forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to help distinguish legitimate interactions from automated abuse. When a form or its verification box is displayed, your browser communicates with Cloudflare. Cloudflare may process technical browser, device, network and interaction signals for verification and security. Verification responses may also be checked by our website when a request is submitted.
This processing is separate from the name, email address and project details that you enter for Shuowei. Cloudflare describes its Turnstile processing in the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Policy.
4. Google / Gmail and website email
We use WP Mail SMTP and Google’s Gmail API to send website-related email through an account authorized by the website operator. Inquiry information and relevant delivery metadata may be processed by Google as part of transmitting and storing that correspondence. Website visitors are not required to sign in to Google or authorize access to their own Gmail account to contact us.
For the operator’s Gmail connection, authorization credentials and tokens are used to maintain the connection, identify the authorized sending account and send website mail. WP Mail SMTP’s connection setup may pass through connect.wpmailsmtp.com. These credentials are kept on the server and are not included in public form code.
The Google consent screen may describe broader Gmail permissions supported by the mailer. Our website uses the connection for its mail-delivery function and necessary account configuration; it is not intended to examine unrelated inbox correspondence or delete unrelated messages. Google API information is not used by this website for advertising profiles, sale, or training generalized AI or machine-learning models.
The use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including Limited Use requirements.
The account owner can revoke the Gmail connection through their Google Account or remove the OAuth connection in WP Mail SMTP. Revoking the connection prevents further authorized website sending through that connection, but does not automatically remove correspondence already delivered to a mailbox. See Google’s Privacy Policy and WP Mail SMTP’s Privacy Policy for their respective services.
5. Sharing and international processing
Relevant information may be accessed by Shuowei personnel and service providers who need it to handle your request or operate the website, hosting, security and email services described here. We may also disclose information when required by applicable law or when reasonably necessary to address security incidents, protect rights or resolve a dispute.
Shuowei is based in China. Our providers may operate infrastructure in other countries, so information may be processed outside your country of residence. We handle such processing in accordance with applicable requirements and the purposes described in this policy.
6. Cookies and browser controls
WordPress, hosting and security services may use cookies or similar browser storage for functions such as administrator sign-in, session management, security and website preferences. You can manage cookies through your browser. Blocking essential scripts, storage or security checks may prevent parts of the website or inquiry verification from working.
Any additional analytics or marketing use is subject to the information and choices presented for that use and applicable requirements. External service providers describe their own technologies in their privacy notices.
7. Security and retention
We use commercially reasonable safeguards intended to limit unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or loss. No internet transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.
We retain inquiry correspondence and related records for as long as reasonably needed to handle the inquiry, provide requested support, maintain relevant business records, investigate abuse, or meet applicable legal, accounting and reporting obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take steps to delete it or make it non-identifying, subject to relevant retention obligations and service-provider backup practices.
8. Your choices and requests
You may choose not to provide personal information, although we may then be unable to respond to your inquiry. You can contact us to request information about the personal data we hold about you, correct inaccurate details, request deletion where applicable, or change communication preferences. We may ask for reasonable information to verify that a request concerns your own data.
If you have a concern about our handling of information, contact us using the details below so we can investigate. Where applicable, you may also contact the relevant privacy or data-protection authority.
9. Children and external websites
Our industrial equipment information and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek their personal information. Please contact us if you believe such information has been provided.
Links to external websites are provided for information. Their operators have their own privacy practices. This page focuses on hfwooddryer.com and builds on Shuowei’s published company privacy policy; the disclosures here describe this website’s inquiry and mail-delivery functions.
10. Changes and contact information
We may update this page when website functions, service providers or relevant requirements change. The date above identifies this version. Where an applicable change requires additional notice or consent, we will provide it.
