Privacy Policy

Idea Trade (presented as IDEA TRADE)
Effective Date: [To be confirmed before publication]
Last Reviewed: November 12, 2026

Idea Trade (“Idea Trade,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), presented under the IDEA TRADE brand, respects the privacy of people who visit this website (the “Website”) or contact us about business sourcing, procurement, quotations, supplier information, or related services. This policy explains what information the current Website forms collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

1. Information Collected

The Website currently provides four inquiry forms. Depending on the form and the information you choose to provide, we collect:

• Sourcing Request: contact name, organization, business email, telephone, product category, quantity, sourcing requirement, delivery location, timeframe, and budget.
• Request a Quote: contact name, organization, business email, telephone, product description, quantity, manufacturer or brand, part number or SKU, delivery location, target delivery date, and notes.
• Supplier Information: company, website, supplier type, address and geographic information, contact name, job title, business email, telephone, product categories, brands, lead time, minimum order quantity, payment terms, fulfillment or shipping information, company description, and additional notes.
• General Contact: contact name, organization, business email, telephone, inquiry type, subject, and message.

Each form also records the privacy-consent choice submitted with the inquiry and may receive a hCaptcha response used to help assess whether a submission is automated. The forms contain a hidden honeypot field for the same purpose.

The current Website has visual document-upload areas but no active file input. Files are not transmitted through these forms. Do not send sensitive, classified, export-controlled, or confidential material through a form; contact us first to discuss an appropriate process.

2. How Information Is Collected

When you submit one of the four forms, the Website sends the form data to Web3Forms at api.web3forms.com. The Website also loads Web3Forms’ client and hCaptcha-related resources. We may receive the resulting inquiry through the notification and delivery settings configured for the applicable Web3Forms account and through our business email or other business systems.

Technical information may also be processed by hosting, security, and service infrastructure when you access the Website, such as IP address, browser and device information, access time, and error information. This policy does not claim that analytics, advertising, or non-essential tracking tools are used.

3. How We Use Information

• Review and respond to sourcing, quotation, supplier, and general business inquiries.
• Clarify product requirements and assess potential sourcing or procurement options.
• Communicate about inquiries, specifications, suppliers, delivery requirements, and possible business arrangements.
• Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and protect the Website and related communications.
• Maintain reasonable business records, address misuse or disputes, and comply with applicable law.

Submitting a form does not create a purchase order, quotation, contract, or obligation to provide products or services.

4. Service Providers and Disclosures

Web3Forms acts as a third-party form-processing service for the four forms. Relevant information may be processed by Web3Forms and its infrastructure to receive, protect, route, and deliver submissions. hCaptcha and its provider may process information needed to detect automated or abusive submissions. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to their services.

We may also share information with potential manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, freight or fulfillment providers, and professional advisers when reasonably necessary to evaluate or respond to a legitimate business inquiry. We may disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or the Website.

We do not state that personal information is sold or shared for cross-context behavioral advertising. This statement should be read together with the Website’s actual technical configuration and business practices.

5. Email Notifications and Storage

Web3Forms may generate email notifications or other delivery messages according to the recipients and settings configured in the Idea Trade Web3Forms account. Inquiry information may also be stored in Web3Forms systems, email accounts, and business records used to review and respond to the inquiry.

This policy does not promise a specific retention period. Retention depends on the Web3Forms account settings, email systems, backups, and Idea Trade’s internal records practices.

6. Retention

We intend to retain inquiry information only for as long as reasonably necessary to review and respond to the inquiry, maintain appropriate business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect legitimate business interests. When information is no longer needed for these purposes, it will be deleted or otherwise handled appropriately according to the applicable systems and records practices.

7. Security

We seek to use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information handled. No internet transmission, email system, or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. Do not submit unnecessary sensitive information through the Website.

8. California and Other Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, the information involved, and whether Idea Trade is subject to a particular law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or information about the processing of your personal information. California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and other California law when those laws apply. This policy does not assume that Idea Trade meets every threshold for CCPA applicability.

To make a privacy inquiry, email office@idea-trade.com with the subject line Privacy Request. We may need to verify your identity or authority and may apply lawful exceptions or retention requirements. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising a right that applies to you.

9. Children

The Website is intended for business and organizational audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly solicit information from children through the inquiry forms.

10. Third-Party Websites

The Website may link to third-party websites and services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, which should be reviewed before information is submitted to them.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when the Website, processing practices, service providers, or applicable laws change. We will update the date above and post the revised policy here. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
