Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

At Zealinks (“we”, “our”, or “us”, accessible via https://zealinks.com), we are committed to safeguarding the privacy and intellectual property of our global manufacturing and engineering clients. This Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, protection, and disclosure of personal information, technical engineering assets, and cookies.


1. Information We Collect

We collect information strictly necessary to provide engineering consultations, rapid prototyping, and volume production quotes:

  • Contact & Business Information: Name, professional email address, company name, phone/WhatsApp number, and country submitted via our RFQ or contact forms.
  • CAD & Technical Specifications: 2D/3D engineering drawings (e.g., DXF, DWG, STEP), material specifications, tolerance guidelines, and application requirements provided for tooling evaluation and DFM (Design for Manufacturability) analysis.
  • Automated & Log Data: Non-personally identifiable metrics such as IP address, browser type, device information, and interaction data collected to maintain platform security and performance.

2. Proprietary CAD & Engineering Data Protection

We treat all proprietary designs, drawings, and product ideas with the highest degree of confidentiality:

  • Uploaded technical drawings and specifications are strictly accessible only by authorized tooling engineers and quotation specialists.
  • We will never share, distribute, or reverse-engineer your proprietary components without explicit written consent.
  • We readily sign and enforce mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) prior to project review upon request.

3. How We Use Collected Data

Your information is used solely for legitimate B2B commercial interactions:

  • Calculating raw material consumption, die-cutting tooling fees, and formal price quotes.
  • Communicating engineering feedback, sample dispatch details, and lead-time schedules.
  • Processing sample requests, trial production runs, and commercial invoice fulfillment.
  • Ensuring compliance with international export controls and manufacturing environmental regulations (e.g., RoHS, REACH).

We strictly prohibit selling, renting, or leasing commercial contact databases to any third party.


4. Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that enable our website to function securely and efficiently. We classify our cookies into the following categories:

  • Essential / Technical Cookies: Strictly required for basic website navigation, spam protection on contact forms, and security authentication. These cannot be disabled.

Managing Cookies: You can manage, disable, or delete cookies via your browser settings at any time (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari). Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect form submission functionality.


5. Data Retention & Security

We retain contact records and RFQ technical data only for as long as necessary to complete commercial projects or satisfy statutory business and tax accounting requirements. We implement industry-standard encryption protocols, secure servers, and firewall barriers to protect your technical assets from unauthorized access.

Under applicable international data protection standards (including the EU/UK GDPR), you retain the right to:

  • Request confirmation of the data records we hold regarding your corporate account.
  • Request rectification of inaccurate details or permanent deletion of your contact records.
