Information received
When you submit an application brief, we may receive your name, company, work contact details, country, process selection, and the technical information you choose to provide. Basic server logs may record device, browser, referring page, and security events.
How information is used
Information is used to route and respond to requests, maintain service security, improve site operation, and meet legal obligations. Technical details may be shared internally with the roles needed to answer the request.
Data minimization
Do not submit controlled drawings, personal data about other people, export-restricted information, or confidential production records unless your organization has approved the transmission and the receiving channel.
Retention and protection
Records are retained only for legitimate operational, legal, and security needs. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet transmission can be represented as risk-free.
Your choices
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or another available privacy right. Identity verification may be required before a request is completed.
