Privacy & IP Protection

Privacy & IP Protection for Your Product and Supplier Information

Product links, drawings, OEM ideas, current supplier quotes, and excluded supplier lists can be sensitive. This page explains how we handle your information during China price research and optional sourcing support.

Our basic commitment

We treat your submitted product information, drawings, current supplier quotes, excluded supplier list, and sourcing intent as private business information.

What we protect

Your product and supplier information should not become someone else’s opportunity

Buyers may submit sensitive product links, drawings, supplier quotes, existing supplier information, private label ideas, or OEM requirements. This page explains how we handle that information during China price research and optional sourcing support.

01

Product links and images

We use submitted product information to understand the item, match similar products, research price references, and prepare reports.

02

Drawings and technical files

Drawings, BOM files, datasheets, PDFs, and engineering specifications are treated as confidential request materials.

03

Current quotes and supplier details

Your existing supplier quote, freight forwarder buying price, sourcing agent quote, and supplier information are not shared casually.

04

Do Not Contact List

If you tell us not to contact a supplier, we use that instruction to avoid disrupting your existing supplier relationship.

05

Private label and OEM ideas

We do not sell your product ideas, private label direction, packaging concept, or sourcing strategy to other buyers.

06

Business and sourcing intent

Your target quantity, budget, supplier preference, buying plan, and comparison purpose are treated as private business context.

Our commitment

What we do and do not do

Our service is designed to create price transparency and sourcing confidence, not to exploit customer product information.

We do

  • Use your information to research China-side price references.
  • Organize supplier type notes, source records, and price authenticity remarks.
  • Respect your Do Not Contact List during supplier outreach.
  • Ask before using sensitive files for deeper supplier communication when needed.
  • Handle drawings, BOM, OEM, and private label materials carefully.

We do not

  • Sell your product ideas or sourcing direction to third parties.
  • Use your submitted products to compete with you.
  • Publish your drawings, files, quotes, or supplier list.
  • Automatically contact suppliers you excluded.
  • Force you to use our optional sourcing support service.
Supplier communication

We do not automatically send sensitive files to suppliers

For many requests, we can research price context without sharing drawings, BOM files, private label concepts, or existing supplier quotes. If supplier communication requires sensitive information, we clarify the scope first.

Step 1

Research without unnecessary sharing

We first use submitted information to understand the product and research China-side price references.

Step 2

Check excluded suppliers

Before deeper inquiry, we review your Do Not Contact List and supplier restrictions.

Step 3

Ask before deeper supplier use

If a supplier needs drawings or sensitive files to quote, we may ask for permission or clarify the next step before proceeding.

Do Not Contact List

Protect your existing supplier relationship

If you are comparing a current supplier, sourcing agent, freight forwarder buying price, or trading company quote, you may not want that party to know you are checking China-side references.

What you can provide

Supplier company name, website, platform link, contact person, email, phone, WhatsApp, or any other information that helps us avoid contacting them.

Two protection levels

You can allow us to use public information without contacting the supplier, or ask us not to contact or use that supplier as a reference source.

Why it matters

This helps protect your current relationship, avoids alerting your supplier, and reduces risk for drawings, OEM, and confidential projects.

NDA

NDA handling is available for sensitive requests

For drawings, custom products, private label projects, BOM files, or sensitive supplier information, you can request NDA handling before deeper research begins.

When NDA may be useful

New product development, private label designs, drawings, technical files, BOM lists, molds, confidential packaging, and supplier comparison projects.

What NDA helps with

It clarifies that submitted materials are intended for the agreed research or support workflow, not for resale, public sharing, or competing use.

Important note

This page is a business confidentiality commitment and not legal advice. For high-value or legally sensitive projects, please consult your own legal advisor.

Current quote protection

Your current supplier quote is used for comparison, not exposure

If you submit a quote from a supplier, freight forwarder, trading company, or sourcing agent, we use it to compare against China-side reference ranges and help you judge whether it appears reasonable.

We may compare

Current price, MOQ, specification, packaging, supplier type, and quote conditions against China-side references.

We do not need to reveal

Your supplier name or quote details to other suppliers unless it is necessary and you approve the scope.

We avoid conflict

If that supplier is on your Do Not Contact List, we do not contact them for the same request.

Data handling

How submitted materials are used

Purpose

We use submitted information to identify products, research China-side price references, review supplier type, prepare reports, and provide optional support if separately requested.

Access

Access is limited to people involved in reviewing your request, preparing the report, or handling agreed optional sourcing support.

Storage

Files may be stored in service tools, email, form apps, Shopify records, or internal request records for service delivery and dispute handling.

Deletion request

You may request deletion of submitted materials, subject to legal, payment, accounting, security, fraud prevention, or dispute-resolution record needs.

Limitations

Important privacy and research limitations

We protect your submitted materials within our service workflow, but no online service can remove all business risk. Clear instructions from you help us protect your information better.

Do not upload files you are not authorized to share.
Mark highly sensitive drawings or BOM files clearly.
Use the Do Not Contact List for existing suppliers.
Request NDA handling before deeper technical research if needed.
Do not submit illegal, counterfeit, or restricted product requests.
Confirm before supplier communication if sensitive files are involved.
