This includes communicating specifications or requirements for the goods or services we request, sending a quotation request, placing an order, processing invoices, and maintaining effective communication.
You are not obligated to provide us with your personal data. However, if you choose not to provide the necessary information, we may not be able to execute the aforementioned tasks.
