Privacy Notice
Effective 4 October 2026. This notice describes the personal and commercial information processed by the current public Portal and RFQ workflow. We collect the information needed to qualify a request, protect the service and preserve commercial auditability.
Commercial data should have a clear purpose and a limited scope.
When a buyer submits an RFQ, the Portal processes the contact, company, destination, product requirements, requested standards and message needed to qualify and respond to that commercial request.
CURRENT PROCESSINGTechnical request metadata may be processed to protect the service, apply rate limits, investigate abuse, preserve audit evidence and maintain transaction integrity.
NECESSARYBuyer specifications attached to an RFQ are linked to the commercial case for qualification. Buyers should avoid including unnecessary personal or confidential information beyond what is required for the sourcing request.
RFQ-SCOPEDCommercial requirement data may be shared only as needed to evaluate a prospective transaction with relevant operational counterparties or service providers, subject to the scope and controls applicable to that operation.
PURPOSE-LIMITEDRecords are retained according to operational, security and legal needs. Requests concerning access, correction or deletion should identify the RFQ acknowledgement or the relevant commercial interaction so the record can be located and evaluated.
CASE-BASEDNo fake consent controls.
The public interface should not imply that an optional preference controls processing unless the corresponding technical control exists. Commercial contact consent is recorded with the RFQ workflow and does not by itself authorize unrelated marketing.
