Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Overview
Arete Distribution & Trading Co. ("Arete", "we", "us") respects your privacy. This page explains what information we collect through this website, why we collect it, and how it's handled.
Information we collect
We only collect information you choose to give us, through two forms on this site:
- The contact form — your name, company name, email address, phone number, business type, and message.
- The brand enquiry form — your email address and phone number, along with the name of the brand you enquired about.
We do not use cookies, analytics, or tracking scripts on this website, and we do not collect any information automatically as you browse.
How we use your information
Information submitted through our forms is used solely to respond to your enquiry — for example, to follow up about a supply request, a quote, or interest in a specific brand. We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Third-party processing
Form submissions are delivered to us using Formspree, a third-party form-processing service. Formspree handles the transmission of your submission to our inbox and is bound by its own privacy policy, available at formspree.io.
Data retention
We retain enquiry information only as long as needed to respond to and follow up on your request, or as required by applicable law.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the information you've submitted to us at any time by contacting us using the details below.

If you have questions about this policy or how your information is handled, contact us at info@arete-distribution.com.
