How We Handle Your Drawings and Data
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 shop or vendor registers we receive company and contact details plus the capability or product information they send. We use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to count visits and form submissions.
How we share your RFQ
We send matching shops a short preview first: part type, material, size, quantity, tolerance, 5-axis type, region and deadline. The preview does not include your name, company, contact details or files.
Your contact details and files go only to the shops that take your request, 3 at most. We do not sell your details to anyone else, we do not share them with vendors and we do not add you to marketing lists.
NDA requests
If you tick the NDA box, we share only the preview until the shop has signed an NDA with you. Files are released after that.
How long we keep files
We keep RFQs and drawings for 12 months so we can handle follow-up questions and repeat revisions. After that we delete them.
Your rights
You can ask what we hold about you, correct it or have it deleted. Email and we act on it within 30 days. Shops that already received your RFQ hold their own copy under their own policies.
