Confidentiality and Non Circumvention

Information treated as confidential

Commercial briefs, specifications, pricing inputs, product development information, manufacturer information, buyer information, artwork, forecasts, and other non public information shared for an engagement are handled as confidential business information where their nature or context reasonably indicates confidentiality.

Permitted use and disclosure

Confidential information is used for the relevant enquiry or engagement and may be disclosed on a need to know basis to Galaxa personnel, selected manufacturers, professional advisers, and appointed service providers where disclosure is reasonably necessary for that work.

Where a recipient requires access to sensitive commercial information, Galaxa may use a separate confidentiality agreement or other written control appropriate to the transaction.

Information that is not confidential

Confidential treatment does not normally apply to information that is already lawfully public, was already lawfully known without confidentiality restriction, is received lawfully from another source without a confidentiality duty, is independently developed without using the confidential information, or must be disclosed by law or a competent authority.

Website submissions do not create a mutual NDA

Submitting a website form does not by itself create a mutual nondisclosure agreement or expand confidentiality obligations beyond applicable law and Galaxa's stated handling practices. If a formal NDA is required before sensitive information is shared, it should be signed separately before that disclosure.

Non circumvention requires a written agreement

No non circumvention obligation is created merely by visiting the website, submitting an enquiry, or receiving general information. If the parties agree to non circumvention for introduced buyers, manufacturers, or opportunities, the applicable scope, protected relationships, duration, territory, exceptions, and remedies should be stated in the signed agreement.

Duration and return or deletion

Any contractual confidentiality period, return obligation, deletion obligation, and permitted archival copies are governed by the applicable signed agreement. Personal data is also subject to the Privacy Notice and applicable data protection law.
