Only What We Need
We collect the information needed to provide the store, complete orders, support customization, and respond to you.
This policy explains how TingMascot collects, uses, shares, protects, and retains personal information when you visit tingmascot.net, create an account, request a quote, place an order, submit customization details, or contact us.
In brief We use personal information to run the store, make and deliver your order, provide support, keep transactions secure, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal information.
We collect the information needed to provide the store, complete orders, support customization, and respond to you.
PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and the underlying payment providers process payment credentials. TingMascot receives limited transaction and status information, not your full card number.
You may ask to access, correct, delete, or otherwise control your information where applicable law gives you that right.
Changzhou Tingting Network Technology Co., Ltd., trading as TingMascot, is the business responsible for the personal information described in this policy and acts as the data controller where that term applies.
Privacy questions and requests can be sent directly to TingMascot. Using “Privacy Request” in the subject line helps us route your message correctly.

“Personal information” means information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you. What we collect depends on how you use the website and which services you request.

Products, sizes, quantities, customization selections, order notes, quote requests, order status, shipping details, returns, refunds, and purchase history.

IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages requested, timestamps, session and online identifiers, language, currency, cookie information, ad-click parameters, configured conversion events, and security or diagnostic logs. Advertising-related information is processed according to the enabled tag features and applicable consent choices.
Most information comes from you. Some information is produced automatically when you use the website or returned to us by a service provider involved in your transaction.
When you browse, create an account, place an order, request customization, upload a file, contact support, or exercise a privacy right.
Through server logs, session technology, cookies, and similar tools used to operate, secure, and remember preferences on the store, and through the Google Ads measurement tag according to its configuration and applicable consent choices.
For example, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or an underlying payment provider may confirm payment status or supply limited transaction and security details, while carriers may provide tracking, delivery, delay, address, or customs updates.
An organization, team, school, family member, authorized agent, or other purchaser may provide information needed for your product or delivery.
The table connects each main use to the legal basis TingMascot relies on where laws such as the EU GDPR or UK GDPR require a legal basis. More than one basis may apply to the same activity.

Required information: you can browse much of the website without identifying yourself. We need certain identity, contact, delivery, customization, and transaction details to accept and fulfill an order. If required information is not provided, we may be unable to create the product, process the order, deliver it, or provide the requested service.
TingMascot is based in China and serves customers internationally. Your information may be transferred to, stored in, or accessed from countries whose privacy laws differ from those where you live.
Information is principally handled in China and may also be processed where our payment, hosting, communications, production, delivery, professional, and technical providers operate. Those locations can include the United States, the United Kingdom, countries in the European Economic Area, Australia, and destination or transit countries needed to deliver your order.
Where applicable law requires a transfer safeguard, we use an available legally recognized mechanism, such as an adequacy decision, approved contractual clauses, or another permitted safeguard, together with supplementary measures appropriate to the circumstances. Contact us if you would like more information about the safeguard relevant to your information.
We keep personal information only while it is reasonably needed for the purpose collected, a related legal or security purpose, or a required recordkeeping period. We then delete, anonymize, or securely isolate it unless continued retention is required by law.
| Record Type | Typical Retention Approach | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts | While the account remains active. After closure, limited information may remain for the periods applying to orders, security, legal claims, and backups. | Provide account features, preserve order history, prevent fraud, and meet legal duties. |
| Orders, payments, invoices, tax, customs & shipping | For the legally required recordkeeping period and, where no fixed period applies, normally up to 7 years after the transaction. A longer period may apply where law or an active claim requires it. | Fulfillment, accounting, tax, customs, warranty, consumer protection, refunds, chargebacks, and legal claims. |
| Customization files & instructions | During production and for a reasonable period after delivery to support quality issues, repeat orders, disputes, or legal claims; then deleted or anonymized when no longer needed. | Produce the requested design and provide after-sales support. |
| Customer service & privacy requests | Normally up to 3 years after the matter is resolved, or longer when the message forms part of an order record, complaint, or legal claim. | Document the request, maintain service continuity, and demonstrate compliance. |
| Security & technical logs | Normally up to 12 months, unless needed longer to investigate an incident, prevent abuse, protect the service, or establish a legal claim. | Security monitoring, diagnostics, fraud prevention, and service reliability. |
| Marketing preferences | Until you unsubscribe or object. A minimal suppression record may remain so we can respect your choice. | Send permitted messages and make sure opted-out addresses stay opted out. |
| Cookies | Varies by cookie and browser setting. | See the durations in our Cookie Policy. |
Backup copies may persist for a limited additional period before being overwritten. If we must preserve information because of a dispute, legal hold, security incident, or regulator request, we restrict it to that purpose and retain it until the requirement ends.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.
Measures can include encrypted transmission, access restrictions, account authentication, secure payment processing, monitoring, backups, and service-provider controls.
Use a unique account password, keep it confidential, sign out on shared devices, and contact us promptly if you believe your account or personal information has been compromised.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If a personal-data incident occurs, we will investigate and notify affected individuals or authorities when applicable law requires it.
Privacy rights vary by location and are subject to exceptions. Depending on the law that applies, you may have some or all of the following rights.
Ask whether we process your information, obtain details about our practices, and receive a copy of eligible personal information.
Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information or complete information that is materially incomplete.
Ask us to delete eligible personal information, subject to legal, security, transaction, recordkeeping, and other permitted exceptions.
Ask us to restrict certain processing or object when processing is based on legitimate interests or used for direct marketing.
Receive eligible information you provided in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and ask that it be transferred where technically feasible.
Withdraw consent at any time where consent is the legal basis. This does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
Email and cookie choices: use the unsubscribe link in a promotional email or contact us to stop marketing. Service messages about an order or account are not promotional. You can manage browser storage as explained in our Cookie Policy.
These disclosures supplement the rest of the policy. They apply only when the referenced law covers TingMascot’s handling of your information and do not limit rights available under another law.
The controller, purposes, legal bases, recipients, transfers, retention approach, and rights required by applicable European data-protection law are described throughout this policy. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority where you live or work, or where you believe an infringement occurred.
We do not use solely automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects about customers. Contact us to ask about the transfer safeguard applicable to your information.
In the preceding 12 months, TingMascot may have collected the categories described below for the business and commercial purposes explained in this policy and disclosed them to the recipient categories described under “Who We Share Information With.”
Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, or a portable copy, and you may appeal a denied request. We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, use sensitive information to infer characteristics, or offer financial incentives for personal information. Because we do not sell or share personal information for those purposes, no sale or sharing opt-out is currently necessary. If that practice changes, we will update this notice and honor legally required preference signals.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted, but we may require proof of authorization and direct verification with you. To appeal, reply to our decision or email us with “Privacy Appeal” in the subject line.
Depending on applicable law, you may request access to or correction of personal information, withdraw consent, object to certain uses, or complain about how information is handled. We will explain our decision if an exception prevents us from completing a request.
For Australia, the kinds of information, collection and handling practices, access and correction process, complaint process, and likely overseas disclosures are described in this policy. Likely overseas recipients may be located in China, the United States, the United Kingdom, the EEA, Australia, and the destination or transit countries needed for payment, production, support, customs, and delivery. You may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner if a privacy complaint remains unresolved.
Canadian residents may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada where federal privacy law applies. Other local regulators may also be available depending on your province, territory, or country.
Email sale@tingmascot.net or use our contact form. We will respond within the period required by applicable law and will tell you if we need more time.
We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity, locate the correct records, protect another person’s privacy, or confirm an agent’s authority. Verification information is used only for the request and related legal or security records.
The points below explain how this policy applies to children’s information, third-party services, account deletion, and future changes.
No. The store is intended for adults purchasing products and is not directed to children under 16. An adult ordering a product for a child should provide only the minimum information needed for sizing, customization, and delivery. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of children. If you believe a child submitted personal information without appropriate permission, contact us so we can review and delete it where required.
Third-party services and links have their own privacy practices. The selected provider and the underlying payment parties may process information needed to offer, authorize, complete, secure, or refund your transaction. Review PayPal's Privacy Statement, Google Pay privacy, terms, and policies, and Apple Pay & Privacy before using the relevant service. TingMascot does not control an external provider simply because it is offered at checkout or linked from our website.
Not necessarily. We can close the account and delete eligible profile information, but some order, transaction, tax, customs, security, complaint, or legal-claim records may need to be retained for the periods described above. Retained information is restricted to those purposes.
We may update this policy when our services, providers, technology, or legal obligations change. The “Last updated” date shows the latest revision. If a change materially affects how we handle information already collected, we will provide additional notice or request consent where required.
Email sale@tingmascot.net or send us a message through the contact form.
