Security & data
Security, data, and what vetting really means.
Trust is the product, so we are precise about it. Here is how we handle your data, where supplier records come from, and exactly what our vetting does and does not do.
Vetting, defined
What vetting is, and what it is not.
What vetting includes
- Identity verification of the supplier or manufacturer behind a listing.
- Cross-checks against business registries and public records.
- Cross-checks against customs and trade data where available.
- Surfaced certifications, like ISO, GOTS, OEKO-TEX, GMP, or FSC, shown as evidence.
- Risk flags, such as an export license to confirm or an inactive or stale profile.
- Continuous refresh of supplier records, with stale or inactive profiles flagged.
What vetting does not do
- It does not include on-site factory audits or physical inspections.
- It does not include quality-control testing of products or samples.
- It does not endorse, approve, or guarantee any supplier.
- It does not guarantee a specific price, saving, or response time.
- It reduces risk; it does not eliminate it.
- It does not replace your own due diligence before you commit.
We show the evidence behind every signal so you can verify, not just trust us. Matches are AI-assisted suggestions ranked on your spec and available data, with a human in the loop. The agent does not know the single best supplier; it gives you a decision-ready shortlist to confirm.
Data handling
How we handle your data.
Your sourcing briefs
The briefs and specs you enter are used to match and rank suppliers for you. We do not sell your sourcing data, and we do not share your specific requirements with suppliers beyond the structured RFQs you choose to send.
Supplier data sources
Supplier records are compiled and refreshed from public business registries, customs and trade data, certification bodies, and supplier-provided information, then cross-checked. We flag records that look stale or inactive.
AI processing
We use AI to parse plain-English briefs into structured specs and to rank matches on fit. Outputs are suggestions to verify against the evidence shown, not automated decisions made on your behalf.
Encryption & access
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with access limited to the people and systems that need it to operate the service. Authentication protects your account.
Retention
We keep your account and sourcing history while your account is active so your work stays with your team, and remove it on request after closure, subject to legal requirements.
Your rights
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. See the privacy policy for the full detail, or email [email protected].
