Who we are

Viet Linh Agrimex is the trading name of VIET LINH AGRICULTURE MANUFACTURING EXPORT IMPORT & TRADING COMPANY LIMITED, a company established in Vietnam with tax code 0110311583.

For the processing described in this Policy, Viet Linh Agrimex determines why and how personal data is used and acts as the data controller, data fiduciary or equivalent responsible organization where applicable law uses those terms.

  • represent a prospective or existing customer, importer, wholesaler, distributor, supplier, service provider or other business partner; or

Please do not submit sensitive personal data. General enquiry and LinkedIn forms are not intended for identity documents, payment-card data, health data, biometric data, passwords or other sensitive information. If sensitive information is genuinely required for a transaction, we will arrange an appropriate channel.

Where personal data comes from

We may obtain personal data:

  • directly from you when you complete a form or communicate with us;
  • from your employer or colleagues where they identify you as the appropriate business contact;
  • from LinkedIn and other platforms when you choose to submit a platform-hosted lead form or interact with our business presence;
  • from public professional or business sources, such as a company website, trade directory or professional profile, where permitted by law; and
  • from service providers and commercial partners supporting a genuine enquiry, order, shipment, event or business relationship.

How and why we use personal data

We process personal data only for a lawful and specified purpose, including:

  • receiving, verifying, assigning and responding to B2B enquiries;
  • discussing product specifications, packing, availability, quotations, samples, export documents, logistics and shipment plans;
  • contacting you through the method you selected, including email, telephone or WhatsApp;
  • managing lead follow-up, customer relationships, contracts, orders, payments and after-sales support;
  • maintaining enquiry history, avoiding duplicate outreach and recording communication preferences;
  • protecting our website, systems, staff and users from spam, fraud, misuse and security incidents;
  • measuring and improving website content, forms, advertising and service quality, normally using aggregated reporting where possible;
  • complying with accounting, tax, customs, trade, sanctions, dispute-resolution and other legal obligations; and
  • sending optional B2B updates or offers only where you have consented or another lawful basis clearly applies.

Legal grounds

Depending on the relationship and applicable law, we may rely on your consent; steps requested by you before a contract; performance of a contract; compliance with a legal obligation; or legitimate business interests and other uses permitted by law that do not override your rights.

We do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you based solely on automated processing.

LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms

When you submit a Viet Linh Agrimex Lead Gen Form on LinkedIn, LinkedIn sends us the information shown in the form after you review and submit it. Depending on the form, this may include your name, email address, phone number, job title, company name, sourcing requirements and preferred contact method.

We use that information only for the purposes described in the form and this Policy, including responding to the enquiry and contacting you through your selected method. Any separate marketing use will be identified separately where required.

LinkedIn independently processes information under its own Privacy Policy. LinkedIn controls its own platform security, storage and retention. Our download or transfer of lead data to our systems is governed by this Policy.

Lead-form consent: where a disclosure checkbox is shown, the wording next to that checkbox explains the specific contact or marketing use. Required and optional choices are clearly distinguished.

Email, telephone and WhatsApp

If you provide a telephone number and select WhatsApp or telephone as your preferred contact method, you authorize Viet Linh Agrimex to contact you about the enquiry you submitted. We will identify our business and the reason for the message or call.

  • We use WhatsApp only where you have provided a mobile number and indicated that you want to be contacted through WhatsApp.
  • Enquiry follow-up does not automatically subscribe you to promotional messages.
  • Marketing messages require a separate choice where applicable and may be stopped at any time.
  • You may reply STOP, ask our representative to stop, block the number, or email us to withdraw your WhatsApp or telephone permission.
  • If the supplied number is not available on WhatsApp, we may use another contact method you provided for the same enquiry.

WhatsApp and Meta process information under their own terms and privacy notices. See the WhatsApp Privacy Policy.

  • LinkedIn, website hosting, email, CRM, cloud storage, communications, WhatsApp/Meta, analytics, advertising, cybersecurity and IT service providers;

International data transfers

Viet Linh Agrimex is based in Vietnam. If you submit an enquiry from India or another country, your information will normally be transmitted to and processed in Vietnam. Our technology, communications, advertising and logistics providers may also process data in other countries.

Where personal data is transferred across borders, we take reasonable steps to use appropriate contractual, organizational and technical measures and comply with applicable transfer restrictions. India-specific restrictions or government notifications will be observed where applicable.

How long we retain personal data

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose described in this Policy:

  • Inactive or unsuccessful enquiries: normally up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction.
  • Optional marketing records: until you withdraw consent or after 24 months of inactivity, unless renewed or another lawful basis applies.
  • Security and technical logs: normally up to 12 months, unless a longer period is needed to investigate an incident.
  • Customer, contract, order, shipment and transaction records: for the commercial relationship and afterward for periods required by accounting, tax, customs, trade, dispute or other applicable laws.
  • Opt-out records: a minimal suppression record may be kept so that we can continue to honor your request not to receive specified communications.

At the end of the applicable period, information is deleted, anonymized or archived with access restrictions. Retention on LinkedIn, WhatsApp and other third-party platforms is separately controlled under their policies.

How we protect personal data

We use reasonable administrative, physical and technical measures designed to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse or destruction. Measures may include access controls, unique user accounts, password and multi-factor controls where available, secure transmission, backups, monitoring, confidentiality obligations, vendor review and incident-response procedures.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Please avoid sending highly confidential or sensitive information through a general web form, ordinary email or unsolicited WhatsApp message.
