|---|---|
| Responding to inquiries | To answer questions about MIM, PM, CIM, materials, tolerances, manufacturing suitability, engineering review, quotation, or project feasibility. |

5. Drawings, Technical Files, and Project Information
Because XTMIM is a B2B manufacturing website, users may submit drawings, CAD files, specifications, material requirements, tolerance requirements, photos, or other project-related information for engineering review or quotation.
We use this information only for project communication, manufacturability review, material and process evaluation, quotation preparation, sample planning, production feasibility assessment, and related business communication.
Project drawings, CAD files, and technical specifications are reviewed only by team members or necessary service partners involved in engineering review, quotation, sample planning, production communication, or related project support.
We do not publish, sell, or use submitted drawings, CAD files, confidential project files, or customer-specific technical information for public marketing without permission.
6. Confidential Project Files and NDA Requests
For projects involving confidential drawings, unreleased products, proprietary structures, customer-specific technical specifications, or sensitive commercial requirements, you may contact us before submitting files to discuss appropriate handling methods or NDA requirements.
We recommend that highly confidential drawings, regulated technical data, trade secrets, or sensitive commercial documents be shared only through agreed business communication channels after both parties confirm the project communication requirements.
If an NDA is required before engineering review, quotation, DFM discussion, sample planning, or production feasibility evaluation, please inform us before sending confidential files. We will review the request and confirm the appropriate communication process.
8. International Data Transfers
Because XTMIM serves international B2B customers, information you submit may be processed in countries or regions outside your own. Data protection laws may vary by location.
When we transfer, store, or process information internationally, we take reasonable steps to protect the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information and project communication only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Typical retention purposes include responding to inquiries, maintaining project records, supporting quotation history, handling business communication, resolving disputes, meeting accounting or legal requirements, and protecting website security.
If you ask us to delete your personal information, we will review your request and delete or anonymize the information where required, unless we need to retain certain information for legitimate business, legal, security, or compliance reasons.
10. Data Security
We use reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative measures to protect personal information and project information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, email system, file transfer method, or internet-based communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please consider this before submitting confidential technical information or sensitive project files through online channels.
