File security & onboarding

When should I request an NDA or special data route?

Agree the NDA and handling route before upload whenever contract, regulation, customer policy, or a different retention need applies.

Direct answer

Contact HXLFAB before upload if an NDA, export-control review, government-program restriction, customer-specific security rule, named-recipient workflow, or different retention period applies. The current website schedules production files for automatic deletion after 60 days; RFQ metadata and business correspondence may be retained longer for quotation, security, legal, or operational records.

Agree the route first

Do not treat access to the RFQ form as confirmation that specially regulated data can be accepted. Describe the applicable rule without sending the restricted content and identify the required agreement, storage, access, transfer, or deletion conditions.

  • NDA parties, scope, effective date, and authorized recipients
  • Customer or regulatory data classification
  • Permitted transfer and storage locations
  • Required retention and verified deletion process
  • Incident, audit, or subcontractor requirements

Understand the current website schedule

The 60-day schedule applies to uploaded production-file objects. It should not be described as automatic deletion of every RFQ record, email, commercial document, or business record. Confirm any project-specific deletion obligation in writing.

Next useful step

Final capability, commercial terms, and project records are confirmed against the actual RFQ and written project documents.
