Privacy Policy

Purpose

BC Industrial Supply operates as an industrial supplier directory and request-for-quote (RFQ) platform for British Columbia. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information submitted through the platform.

Information Collection

We collect information you provide when:

• Submitting a request for quote (company name, contact details, project requirements)
• Listing your business as a supplier (business information, capabilities, contact details)
• Browsing the directory (standard web analytics data)

Data Usage

Information collected is used to:

• Match RFQ requests with relevant suppliers
• Facilitate communication between buyers and suppliers
• Maintain and improve the directory
• Generate aggregate platform statistics

Data Sharing

When you submit an RFQ, your contact information and project details are shared with matched suppliers. Supplier listings are publicly visible in the directory. We do not sell personal information to third parties.

Cookies and Analytics

We use standard web analytics tools to understand platform usage patterns. This includes tracking page views, session duration, and referral sources. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics without your explicit submission.

Data Retention

RFQ submissions and supplier listings are retained to maintain platform functionality and historical records. You may request removal of your information by contacting us.

Platform Role

BC Industrial Supply is an informational directory and matching platform. We are not a broker, reseller, or party to any transactions between buyers and suppliers. All commercial relationships, negotiations, and agreements occur directly between listed parties.
