Privacy and How We Share Your RFQ
Last updated September 2026. Plain language, no surprises.
What we collect
When you send an RFQ we receive your name, email, company, country, optional phone number, the part details you enter and the files you upload. When a supplier registers we receive company and contact details, certificate details and capability information. We use analytics to count visits and form submissions.
How we share your RFQ
We send matching suppliers a short preview first: part family, material, size, quantity, tolerance, surface treatment, quality requirement, region and deadline. The preview does not include your name, company, contact details or files.
Your contact details and files go only to the suppliers that take your request, 3 at most. Suppliers pay us for matched requests. We do not sell your details to anyone else and we do not add you to marketing lists.
NDA requests
If you tick the NDA box, we share only the preview until the supplier has signed an NDA with you. Files are released after that.
Drawings and confidential design information
Device drawings often carry design history and regulatory information. We treat every file as confidential, we do not publish part images or descriptions anywhere on this site and we do not use your drawing as an example to other suppliers.
How long we keep files
We keep RFQs and drawings for 12 months so we can handle follow-up questions and repeat orders. After that we delete them.
Your rights
You can ask us what we hold about you, correct it or have it deleted. Email and we act on it within 30 days. Suppliers that already received your RFQ hold their own copy under their own policies.
Cookies and analytics
We use analytics tags to understand which pages help buyers. They set cookies. You can block them in your browser without affecting the forms.
