Confidentiality
How we handle confidential project information.
Confidential project information
Eastbound Link handles sensitive business and technical information in connection with project evaluation and delivery. This may include development data, designs, CAD files, drawings, specifications, bills of materials, prototypes, software, firmware, source code, know-how and intellectual property belonging to clients or other rights holders.
Confidentiality agreements
The contractual confidentiality obligations for a project are defined in the NDA or service agreement concluded with the relevant parties. Where sensitive information is to be exchanged, contact [email protected] to arrange an appropriate confidentiality agreement and an agreed transfer method before disclosure. This page is informational and does not itself create a mutual NDA.
Use and authorised access
Project information may be used only within the agreed purpose and permissions. The relevant agreement determines authorised recipients and any conditions for sharing with suppliers or subcontractors. An NDA does not, by itself, authorise manufacturing, modification, commercial exploitation or further distribution.
Intellectual property
Disclosure does not transfer existing intellectual property rights. Rights remain with the relevant owner, subject to any separately agreed licence. Rights in new development results must be addressed in a separate project or development agreement. Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.
Submission of sensitive information
Do not submit source code, complete design packages, credentials or other highly sensitive materials through a general website enquiry form. First agree the confidentiality terms, recipients and suitable transfer method with us. Personal data is handled as described in the Privacy Policy. Confidentiality commitments do not prevent disclosures required or protected by law.
