• Profile and business information including supplier showcase content, product listings, certifications, and categories.
• Transaction and platform activity such as RFQs, offers, messages, attachments, reviews, and support tickets.
• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, locale preferences, and usage logs.
• Authentication data when you sign in with third-party providers (for example, Google), as permitted by your account settings.

How we use your information

• Provide, operate, and improve the marketplace and related features.
• Create and manage user accounts, verify email addresses, and authenticate users.
• Facilitate RFQ publication, offer submission, messaging, and contract-related workflows.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with other users when you choose to publish RFQs, submit offers, display supplier profiles, or communicate through the platform. We may also share information with service providers who help us host, secure, email, or analyze the service, and when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of the platform.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences such as language, maintain security, and understand how the platform is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal requirements. You may request deletion of your account subject to applicable law and legitimate business needs such as record keeping for completed transactions.

Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information, or to object to certain processing.

If you access the platform from outside the country where our servers or operations are located, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in other jurisdictions with different data protection laws.
