10. How We Disclose Personal Information

We do not sell lists of customer or inquiry information.

We may disclose information in the following circumstances.

Service Providers

We may provide information to service providers that help us operate and protect the Website.

Our current primary Website-related service providers include:

  • Google, for Website analytics; and
  • Cloudflare, for security, network performance, and content delivery.

We may also use ordinary website hosting, email, and infrastructure providers necessary to operate our business.

Manufacturers, Suppliers, and Business Partners

If reasonably necessary to evaluate or fulfill an inquiry, quotation, or order, we may disclose relevant technical or commercial information to manufacturers, factories, suppliers, testing providers, logistics providers, or other business partners.

For example, a technical drawing or specification may need to be provided to a manufacturing facility to assess feasibility, pricing, or production requirements.

We seek to limit such disclosure to information reasonably necessary for the relevant business purpose.

Professional and Legal Purposes

We may disclose information to professional advisers or government authorities when reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with law;
  • Respond to a legal process or governmental request;
  • Protect our legal rights;
  • Prevent or investigate fraud or security incidents;
  • Enforce agreements; or
  • Protect the rights, safety, or property of the Company or others.

Business Transfers

Information may also be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable law.

11. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

We do not currently use the Website for cross-context behavioral advertising or personalized remarketing through services such as Meta Pixel or Google Ads remarketing.

We use Google Analytics for Website analytics and measurement purposes.

Because definitions such as “sale,” “sharing,” and “targeted advertising” vary under U.S. state privacy laws, we will provide legally required opt-out mechanisms if our future practices fall within those definitions and applicable law requires us to do so.

If our advertising or tracking practices materially change, we will update this Privacy Policy as appropriate.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate business, legal, security, accounting, and compliance purposes.

The retention period may depend on factors such as:

  • The type of information;
  • The nature of the inquiry;
  • Whether an inquiry resulted in a quotation or order;
  • The duration of a customer or supplier relationship;
  • Product support or warranty requirements;
  • Accounting and tax obligations;
  • Applicable laws and regulations;
  • Applicable limitation periods;
  • Dispute resolution requirements;
  • Fraud and security prevention; and
  • Legitimate business recordkeeping requirements.

RFQs, quotations, technical specifications, drawings, and related correspondence may be retained for a reasonable period because industrial customers may reorder products or refer to historical specifications after an extended period.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, aggregate, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable law and our business practices.

13. Data Storage and International Transfers

Website data may be stored or processed in the United States and other locations where our service providers operate.

Information submitted through the Website may therefore be stored or processed in the United States.

Certain service providers, including Google and Cloudflare, operate global infrastructure and may process technical or analytics information in locations other than the United States in accordance with their applicable service terms, privacy practices, and legal obligations.

If you access the Website from outside the United States, your information may therefore be transferred to or processed in countries whose privacy and data protection laws may differ from those of your country of residence.

Where required by applicable law, we will use appropriate safeguards or mechanisms for international transfers of personal information.

14. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, alteration, loss, or destruction.

These measures may include, as appropriate:

  • Secure hosting;
  • HTTPS encryption;
  • Network and Website security controls;
  • Cloudflare security services;
  • Access restrictions;
  • Authentication controls;
  • Spam and abuse prevention;
  • Logging and monitoring; and
  • Reasonable access limitations.

However, no Internet transmission, computer system, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by us.

15. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your place of residence and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These may include the right to:

  • Request confirmation of whether we process personal information about you;
  • Request access to personal information;
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information;
  • Request deletion of certain personal information;
  • Obtain a copy of certain personal information;

  • Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable;
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • Opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information where applicable;
  • Opt out of certain targeted advertising where applicable; and
  • Exercise privacy rights without unlawful discrimination.

These rights are subject to applicable legal requirements and exceptions.

We may retain information where necessary to complete transactions, comply with legal requirements, maintain legitimate business records, prevent fraud, protect security, or establish or defend legal claims.

To exercise an applicable privacy right, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity or authority to make a request.

16. California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Certain U.S. states provide residents with specific rights regarding personal information.

If an applicable state privacy law applies to our business and to your information, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, portability, or the ability to opt out of certain uses or disclosures.

For California residents, applicable rights may include rights provided under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (“CCPA”).

We do not represent that every state privacy statute applies to our business in every circumstance.

Where an applicable law requires additional notices, disclosures, or methods for exercising rights, we will provide them as required.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against an individual for exercising rights provided by applicable privacy law.

17. Visitors from the European Economic Area and United Kingdom

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar privacy laws, additional rights may apply where the relevant law applies to our processing.

Depending on the circumstances, our processing may be based on:

  • Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract;
  • Performing a contract with you or your organization;
  • Our legitimate interests in responding to business inquiries, maintaining business relationships, securing and improving our Website, and operating our business;
  • Compliance with legal obligations; or
  • Your consent, where consent is required.

Where applicable, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with an applicable data protection supervisory authority.

This section applies only to the extent required by applicable law.

18. Children’s Privacy

Our Website is intended for business and industrial users and is not directed to children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 in circumstances prohibited by applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through our Website, please contact us.

19. Third-Party Websites

Our Website may contain links to websites operated by third parties, including manufacturers, suppliers, technical organizations, certification providers, or other external resources.

We do not control the privacy, security, or content practices of those third-party websites.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected independently by third parties.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing information to them.

  • Our Website;
