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, an optional phone number, the part details you type and any files you upload. When a shop registers we receive company and contact details along with machine, alloy and finishing information. Analytics count page views and form submissions.
How your RFQ is shared
Shops first see a short preview: part type, alloy, stock size, quantity, tolerance, finish, region and deadline. The preview carries no name, no company, no contact details and no files.
Your contact details and files go only to the shops that take your request, 3 at most. Shops pay us for matched requests. We do not sell your details to anyone else and we do not add you to a marketing list.
NDA requests
Tick the NDA box on the form and only the preview is shared until a shop has signed an NDA with you. Files are released after that.
How long files are kept
RFQs and drawings are kept for 12 months so follow up questions and repeat orders can be handled. After that they are deleted.
Your rights
You can ask what we hold about you, correct it or have it deleted. Write to and we act within 30 days. Shops that already received your RFQ hold their own copy under their own policies.
Cookies and analytics
Analytics tags set cookies so we can see which pages help buyers. You can block them in your browser and the forms still work.
