Privacy & Confidentiality Protocol

Our Discretion Charter

A-QJ Stone XPO Crafts ("the Atelier," "we," "our," or "us") acts as the primary data controller for client records collected via aqjexpo.com, regional galleries, and private quarry visits.

We cater to private collectors, palatial estates, and world-renowned architects. We acknowledge that true luxury cannot exist without complete privacy; preserving the confidentiality of your commissions, floor plans, and material choices is our highest standard of practice.

Information We Curate

We restrict data collection exclusively to what is strictly necessary to realize your bespoke stonework:

• Client Identifiers: Executive designations, legal identities, personal contact coordinates, and authorized project representative profiles.
• Architectural & Engineering Data: Blueprints, 2D/3D CAD files, CNC vector cut-files, structural load metrics, and custom inlay palettes.
• Fiscal & Port Logistics: Certified bank clearance records, port of entry destinations, bills of lading, and import documentation.
• Digital Interactions: Anonymized site interaction metrics, resolution metrics, and regional IP lookups to serve optimized high-resolution stone gallery portfolios.

Architectural & Proprietary Inlay IP

Bespoke waterjet medallions, relief carvings, and one-of-a-kind stone inlays engineered for your project remain strictly your intellectual property.

We will never photograph your installed private site, reproduce customized mosaic files, or exhibit your private residence in marketing portfolios without a formalized, bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Legal Basis & Purpose of Processing

We process information under explicit legal and contractual frameworks:

• Contractual Execution: Selecting raw blocks, performing dry-lay slab matching, stone refinement, CNC cutting, and international transit.
• Statutory Compliance: Abiding by international trade, cross-border customs declarations, and GST/VAT tax reporting.
• Atelier Relationship: Archiving geological specifications of your supplied stone for prospective restorations, additions, or batch matching decades later.

Cross-Border Logistics & Disclosures

Because our rare materials originate from over 12 global territories (including Italy, Spain, Greece, and India), data related to your shipments is shared exclusively with:

• Certified freight forwarding entities bound by enterprise confidentiality agreements.
• Port and customs clearing authorities for statutory verification.
• Enterprise cloud platforms encrypted under SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards.

Note: We never sell, barter, or distribute your identity or specifications to marketing syndicates or external contractors.

Digital Telemetry & Cookies

Our web portal uses limited, performance-focused cookies designed solely to accelerate image loading speeds for high-resolution slab showcases and preserve aesthetic display settings. You hold full autonomy to block or purge cookies through browser controls at any time without impeding access to our online collections.

Security Protocol

We uphold strict physical and digital defenses. Our digital assets employ TLS 1.3 protocol encryption, while physical files, dry-lay photographs, and CAD records reside on isolated storage servers with role-restricted credentials to protect your project from unauthorized access.

Client Sovereignty Rights

In accordance with global data protection frameworks (such as GDPR, CCPA, and India's DPDP Act), you retain unhindered rights to:

• Request an inventory of personal data stored in our archives.
• Require the correction of contact details or architectural parameters.
• Command the secure destruction of non-statutory records ("Right to Erasure").
• Restrict or terminate communication from our atelier at any moment.
