BerriesGroup, the developer behind this website, is committed to protecting the personal information of every visitor, client, and partner who interacts with our services. This Privacy Policy explains in plain language what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have about your own data. We believe that transparency is not a legal formality but a foundation of trust, and we have written this document to be read rather than merely filed away.
This policy applies to the website located at https://www.berriesgroup.hair, to any other digital property operated by Berries Group Limited, and to the integrated computer systems design and related services we provide. By using our website or engaging our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the practices described below. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, you should refrain from providing us with personal information and discontinue use of the relevant services.
We may update this policy from time to time, and we will always post the revised version on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review it periodically so that you remain informed about how we safeguard your information.
BerriesGroup is operated by Berries Group Limited, a company in the computer systems design and related services industry. We design, integrate, and operate computer systems for organizations that need their software, infrastructure, and data to work together as a single, reliable platform.
Our registered business details are as follows: Berries Group Limited, Rm 6503, 65/F, Central Plaza, 18 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong (HK). You can reach us by email at hello@berriesgroup.hair or by telephone at +1 405 913 2905.
For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, Berries Group Limited acts as the data controller of the personal information described in this policy. This means that we determine the purposes for which your information is processed and the means by which it is handled.
We collect only the information that we need to operate our website, respond to your inquiries, deliver our services, and meet our legal obligations. The categories of information we may collect include the following.
When you contact us through a form, by email, or by telephone, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, company name, and any other details you choose to include in your message. When you subscribe to a newsletter or request a consultation, we collect the contact details necessary to fulfil that request.
When you visit our website, our systems may automatically record certain technical information, including your internet protocol address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits. This information helps us understand how the site is used and how we can improve it.
If you become a client, we may collect additional information necessary to provide our services, such as billing details, project specifications, system access records, and correspondence related to an engagement. This information is handled under the terms of any separate agreement we hold with you.
We gather information through several straightforward methods, all of which are described here so that nothing is collected without your awareness.
Direct collection occurs when you submit information through our contact forms, send us an email, call our office, or speak with a member of our team. In each case, you choose what to share and for what purpose. We do not record telephone calls or process any information you have not intentionally provided.
Automatic collection occurs through standard web technologies such as server logs and cookies. These mechanisms record technical data about how visitors reach and move through the site. This data is generally aggregated and does not, on its own, identify you personally.
Third-party collection may occur when a service provider acting on our behalf, such as a hosting platform or an analytics tool, records limited technical information about your visit. We select these providers carefully and only work with those that offer protections consistent with this policy.
We use the information we collect for a limited and clearly defined set of purposes. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for purposes that are unrelated to the reasons we collected it.
We use your information to respond to inquiries and provide the services you request. This includes answering questions about our systems design capabilities, preparing proposals, and scheduling consultations. When you contact us, we use the details you provide to reply accurately and promptly.
We use technical information to operate, maintain, and improve the website. Understanding which pages are useful and where visitors encounter difficulty allows us to refine our content and performance. We also use aggregated information to monitor the security of our systems and to detect, prevent, and respond to fraudulent or malicious activity.
We may use your contact information to send administrative messages, such as confirmations of a request, updates to our terms, or notices required by law. Where you have opted in, we may also send occasional communications about our services, which you can decline at any time.
Where data protection laws require a lawful basis for processing personal information, we rely on one or more of the following grounds.
We process information with your consent, for example when you subscribe to a newsletter or ask us to contact you. You may withdraw your consent at any time, and doing so will not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
We process information where it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or in order to take steps at your request before entering into a contract. This covers the work we do to prepare and deliver our systems design services.
We process information where it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, such as maintaining records required by tax or corporate law. We may also process information where it is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests include operating a secure website, improving our services, and protecting our business from misuse.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. The specific retention period depends on the type of information and the context in which it was collected.
Contact and inquiry information is generally retained for as long as needed to respond to your request and, where a client relationship develops, for the duration of that relationship plus any period required by law. Marketing records are retained only while your consent remains active or while we are required to evidence that consent.
Technical log data is typically retained for a shorter period and then deleted or aggregated so that it no longer relates to an identifiable individual. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our internal procedures.
We take the security of your information seriously and have implemented technical and organizational measures designed to protect it against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit, access controls, and regular review of our systems.
Access to personal information within our organization is limited to personnel who require it to perform their duties, and all personnel are subject to confidentiality obligations. Our service providers are selected for their security practices and are reviewed periodically.
No method of transmission over the internet or of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us immediately using the contact details at the end of this policy.
Berries Group Limited is based in Hong Kong, and the information we collect may be stored and processed in the jurisdiction where we operate or in other countries where our service providers are located. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from the laws of your own country.
Where we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps to ensure that an adequate level of protection applies. These steps may include entering into standard contractual clauses, relying on adequacy decisions, or using other lawful mechanisms recognized by applicable law.
By using our services or providing us with information, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your own, subject to the safeguards described in this policy.
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the following.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided below. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law and may ask you to verify your identity before taking action.
Our website and services are intended for business users and are not directed to children under the age of thirteen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we do not market our services to them.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. We will take steps to delete that information from our records as quickly as possible and in accordance with applicable law.
If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information promptly and will not use it for any purpose.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services that are not operated by Berries Group Limited. This policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices or content.
When you follow a link to another site, we encourage you to review the privacy policy of that site before providing any personal information. The presence of a link does not imply our endorsement of the third party or of the way it handles data.
Some of our services may integrate with third-party tools that you choose to use, such as communication or project management platforms. Your use of those tools is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we process only the information necessary to coordinate with them.
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track setting that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked across the web. Because there is no widely accepted standard for how websites should respond to this signal, our site does not currently alter its behavior in response to it.
However, as described throughout this policy, we do not sell your personal information and we do not engage in cross-site behavioral advertising. This means that the types of tracking that a Do Not Track signal is intended to prevent do not occur on our site in the first place.
If you would like to limit automatic collection, you can do so at any time through your browser settings, including by blocking or deleting cookies.
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, in technology, in legal requirements, or in the services we offer. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and post the revised policy here.
Where required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes, such as through a prominent notice on our website or by contacting you directly. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
Your continued use of the website after any changes to this policy take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms, unless applicable law requires us to obtain your explicit consent.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the way we handle your personal information, we encourage you to reach out to us. Our team will respond to all privacy-related inquiries in a timely manner.
You can contact us by email at hello@berriesgroup.hair or by telephone at +1 405 913 2905. You may also write to us at the following address: Berries Group Limited, Rm 6503, 65/F, Central Plaza, 18 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong (HK).
If you believe that we have not adequately addressed your concern, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to resolve your concern directly before you take that step.
