Privacy Policy

Effective date: 6 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Peridot collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information when you visit the website, apply for an account, use marketplace tools, communicate with other members, or contact the Peridot team.

1. Information we collect

Account and verification information

This may include your name, email address, telephone number, company, trade name, business type, registration location, website, professional credentials, application answers, and account status.

Marketplace information

This may include product listings, images, inventory data, pricing, customer groups, authorized customer email addresses, inquiries, negotiations, bids, orders, and messages sent through Peridot.

Technical and usage information

We may collect device, browser, IP address, authentication, security, log, page-view, and interaction information needed to operate, protect, and improve the service.

2. How we use information

to create and administer buyer, seller, and team-member accounts;
to review applications and manage marketplace access;
to provide catalogue, inquiry, negotiation, auction, and order tools;
to enforce product visibility and customer-access permissions;
to send service, security, application, and transaction notifications;
to prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and platform misuse;
to provide support, resolve disputes, and improve Peridot;
to comply with legal, regulatory, tax, and record-keeping obligations.

3. How information is shared

Information may be shared with buyers or sellers where needed for an authorized marketplace interaction; with service providers that support hosting, authentication, storage, email, security, analytics, or other platform operations; with professional advisers; or where required to protect rights, safety, the marketplace, or comply with law.

Peridot does not make its vetted-buyer directory available for sellers to browse. When a seller grants private-catalogue access by email, the platform should not disclose whether that email is registered unless the buyer independently interacts with that seller.

4. International processing

Peridot operates internationally. Information may be processed in Japan and in other locations where Peridot or its service providers operate. Appropriate safeguards are used where required for cross-border handling.

5. Retention

Information is retained for as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, maintain security and audit records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet applicable legal obligations. Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and account activity.

6. Security

Peridot uses technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal information, including access controls and restricted storage for private product images. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so users should also protect their credentials and devices.

7. Your choices and rights

Depending on applicable law, you may be able to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or information about the handling of your personal information. You may also update certain account details through the platform. Requests can be sent to info@peridotb2b.com.

8. Cookies and similar technologies

Peridot may use cookies and similar storage for authentication, preferences, security, and essential platform functionality. Additional analytics or marketing technologies should be described and controlled where introduced.

9. Children

Peridot is a professional B2B marketplace and is not directed to children.

10. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the service changes. The effective date at the top of the page will be revised when material updates are published.

11. Contact

Privacy questions and requests may be sent to info@peridotb2b.com.
