The service you have requested is cross-border by nature (export introductions, overseas sourcing, overseas certification and testing). To deliver it, the personal information described below must be provided to recipients located outside mainland China. Without such transfer the service cannot in fact be performed.

We do not transfer ID numbers, biometric data, health data, financial account data or other sensitive personal information. Where such transfer becomes genuinely necessary we will inform you separately and obtain separate consent.

The name and contact details of each specific recipient will be listed to you by email or in writing before that project starts. You may consent to only some of the listed recipients.

Overseas recipients may process your personal information only for the purposes in the table above, may not use it beyond that scope, and may not onward-disclose it except where required by law or where a sub-processor is necessary for that purpose. We agree with them in writing the purpose, duration, method, categories of information, protective measures and liability for breach, and will provide you with a summary of those terms on request.

You understand and acknowledge that personal information protection law in the recipient's country or region may differ from that of China, that the way you exercise your rights and obtain remedies may be affected by local law and practice, and that once information has left the country our ability to control its subsequent processing is limited. We mitigate these risks through contractual commitments, data minimisation and de-identification, but cannot eliminate them entirely.

You may withdraw this consent at any time by emailing info@rtemc.com. On withdrawal we stop providing new personal information overseas and use reasonable efforts to require recipients to stop processing and to delete or anonymise what they hold. We cannot guarantee complete reversal of processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal (such as quotations already issued or certification applications already filed), and you accept the consequences of that.

You may refuse to sign this consent. The consequence is that we cannot provide services that depend on transferring personal information overseas (including overseas buyer and channel introductions, overseas certification and testing filings, and passing requirements to overseas suppliers). Domestic advisory, assessment and training services that involve no transfer are unaffected.

This consent takes effect when you tick the confirmation box (or sign and seal) and covers this submission and any necessary supplementary provision for the same purpose, until you withdraw it or the engagement ends. We retain the consent version, confirmation time, source page and language version as evidence.

• Category, specification range, quantity range and target market of the requirement or capability;
• Lead-time range and the categories of qualification or certification required (no certificate scans);
• Requirement summary, de-identified and rewritten by us before publication;
• Publication reference number and time.

• Company name, registration number, registered address;
• Contact name, job title, work email, telephone and messaging handles (respondents submit through the on-site form and we forward; nothing is published);
• Prices, costs, customer lists, existing supplier lists;
• Drawings, formulations, process parameters and other trade or technical secrets.

Channels include the requirement board, emails and messages we send to registered suppliers, distribution through exhibition and chamber-of-commerce partners, and trade media columns. Publication lasts 12 months from the publication date, or until you ask us to remove it, whichever is earlier. On expiry we remove it or move it to non-public archive.

You may request removal at any time by emailing info@rtemc.com or through the on-site contact. We remove within 2 working days of receipt. Where third parties have already captured, republished or indexed the content we cannot guarantee complete erasure; you agree that our obligation is one of reasonable efforts only.

Publication means any visitor, including your competitors, can see the de-identified information. Although direct identifiers are removed, we cannot rule out inference of your identity from industry knowledge. If that concerns you, consider carefully before publishing, or ask us to blur further (for example by widening quantity and specification ranges).

Once published, overseas suppliers may also view the requirement and respond. This consent and the Cross-Border Transfer Consent therefore run in parallel and each requires its own tick. Ticking this consent alone does not authorise any overseas transfer.

We pass on only the minimum information necessary for that business purpose and de-identify it wherever possible. Without your further consent we do not give these recipients material unrelated to that purpose.

We agree with each recipient in writing that it will: process only for the agreed purpose; not use the material beyond that scope; not sub-contract (processors likewise do not sub-contract); apply necessary security measures; delete or return the material on completion or on our request; and bear liability for breach. You may request a summary of those terms at any time.

This authorisation takes effect when you tick the confirmation box and remains valid until the relevant matter concludes. Statutory or contractual retention duties survive expiry.

You may withdraw at any time by emailing info@rtemc.com. On withdrawal we stop further sharing and require recipients to stop using, delete or anonymise what they hold. Sharing lawfully completed before withdrawal (a certification application already filed, a quotation already issued) cannot be undone, and you accept this.

Industry and destination-market policy developments (for example EU and ANZ access regulation updates); notices of our services, courses and events; channel and buyer opportunities relevant to your categories; reports and material you have subscribed to.

• click the unsubscribe link at the foot of every marketing email — effective immediately;
• reply UNSUBSCRIBE or email info@rtemc.com with “unsubscribe” in the subject line;
• note “stop sending” in the on-site contact form.

We stop sending within 5 working days of receipt, excluding emails already in transit.

Whether you tick this consent does not affect our provision of advisory, assessment, certification, testing or lead-generation services, nor pricing or priority. We will not reduce service quality or raise fees because you declined marketing.

After withdrawal we keep your opt-out record for at least 2 years to ensure we do not contact you again. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of sending carried out before withdrawal.

I (or the company) solemnly undertake in respect of all materials submitted:

• the business licence, qualification certificates, test reports and certification documents are true, valid and within their validity period, being originals or lawfully certified copies, with no forgery, alteration or tampering;
• stated capacity, quantities, lead times, market experience, customers and track record are true and accurate, with no exaggeration or misleading statement;
• submitted drawings, technical parameters, formulations and process descriptions infringe no third party's intellectual property or trade secrets, and I/the company is entitled to supply them;
• information concerning third parties (personal and corporate) has been lawfully authorised by them;
• I/the company, its beneficial owners, counterparties and end users are not on applicable sanctions lists of China, the United Nations, the EU, the UK or the US, and the business complies with applicable export control, customs, tax and anti-money-laundering rules.

I/the company authorise Chihu Consulting and its processors to verify the above by:

• searching public sources on corporate registration, credit, intellectual property, litigation and administrative penalties;
• confirming certificate numbers, status and validity with the issuing bodies;
• checking business information with counterparties, customers or suppliers nominated by me/the company;
• running sanctions and export-control screening with compliance tools.

Verification results are used only for this and related engagements and are kept confidential under the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service.

If we find, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, falsification, misrepresentation, forgery, lack of entitlement, or breach of sanctions or export-control rules, we may suspend or terminate the service immediately without refunding fees for work already performed. I/the company shall indemnify us and any third party for resulting loss. Where an offence is suspected we may report the matter to the competent authority.

If any third party asserts rights against us in respect of materials you submitted, you shall take it up directly and bear all costs and liability, and shall indemnify us for any resulting loss.

This declaration takes effect when you tick the confirmation box (or sign and seal) and operates independently of other agreements. Invalidity, rescission or termination of other agreements does not affect it.
