Confidential drawing handling
RFQ files are used for quotation and manufacturing evaluation. If the project proceeds, later use for production, inspection, and delivery follows the accepted project terms.
NDA & IP protection
Control disclosure before the drawing leaves your team.
Confidentiality is not one checkbox. It combines an appropriate agreement, minimum-necessary disclosure, private storage, restricted access, supplier controls, and clear retention terms.
Before you upload
If an NDA must be signed before technical review, say so before sending the sensitive package.
Meknora can review your NDA or work from an agreed mutual form. The agreement should identify the parties, permitted purpose, protected information, exclusions, duration, governing law, and any return or deletion requirement relevant to the project.
The contracting entity is 苏州美科诺科技有限公司, operating publicly as Meknora Manufacturing. An NDA must identify the parties before signature; a website request or checkbox does not create an agreement.
An NDA can create contractual duties, but it cannot guarantee that misuse, disclosure, cyber incidents, or disputes will never occur. Enforceability and remedies depend on the wording, facts, and applicable law; obtain your own legal advice where the risk warrants it.
Operating controls
Protect the file through the full project path.
The contract sets duties. The workflow reduces unnecessary exposure while quotation, supplier selection, production, and inspection are coordinated.
Private storage
The RFQ system stores drawing files in private object storage. It does not publish a public file URL or include CAD attachments in notification email.
Restricted internal access
Administrative downloads require authenticated, allowlisted access and are recorded in the RFQ event history. Access is limited to the project work being performed.
Supplier disclosure control
Candidate suppliers receive only the information reasonably needed for the quotation. A selected supplier receives the approved package and revision needed for the agreed work.
Information control
Not every participant needs the full package.
This is the recommended access model. Project-specific exceptions should be approved and recorded when they are necessary.
Original project package
Controls what is submitted and approves sensitive product or commercial changes.
Project scope needed to coordinate the RFQ
Consolidates questions, supplier communication, inspection, and project records.
Minimum quotation package
Receives only what is needed to assess process, feasibility, price, and timing; masking is used where practical.
Approved production package
Receives the controlled revision and requirements needed to manufacture and inspect the work.
Shipping information
Receives packing and shipping data; technical files are excluded unless operationally necessary and approved.
Retention & deletion
The retention rule should be explicit—not implied.
Quotation files, active production files, contracts, and audit records do not always have the same retention need.
Unsubmitted uploads
The current RFQ backend makes an abandoned draft eligible for scheduled cleanup 24 hours after creation.
Project files
Confirmed by the applicable project, NDA, and operating policy. No universal automatic-deletion period is represented on this page.
Deletion request
You may request deletion or return of files. We will confirm the identity, file scope, project status, applicable agreement, and the action that can be completed. Send a deletion request.
Separate audit data
Removing a drawing does not automatically require deletion of every RFQ, transaction, security, or audit record when another legitimate retention basis applies.
Deletion has defined exceptions and timing.
A deletion commitment may be limited by an applicable retention or preservation need, including:
- legal or regulatory retention
- active dispute or claim preservation
- security and audit records that do not contain the drawing itself
- time-limited backup lifecycle where applicable
The response should state what was removed, what remains, why, and any remaining lifecycle instead of promising instant erasure from every system.
Before sending sensitive files
Need an NDA or a specific deletion term first?
Email the NDA request to quotes@meknora.com before using the upload form. Do not upload the sensitive package until the agreement and disclosure sequence you require have been accepted.
