Overview
This page explains how SCOPT Analytics Private Limited ("we", "us") treats confidential information. We published it on 10 October 2026.
Reading this page does not by itself create a non-disclosure agreement. A binding NDA is the document both sides sign. If you want one before you share sensitive information, write to us and we will send our mutual NDA.
If a signed NDA conflicts with this page, the signed NDA applies.
When this applies
We use this approach when a prospective or current client shares information with us so we can discuss, propose, or deliver supply chain consulting, analytics, or digital work.
It covers information you give us in email, on a call, in a workshop, or in files, and information we give you for the same purpose.
Confidential information
Confidential information is information that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential, whether or not it is marked that way. It includes:
- Business plans, costs, prices, and customer or supplier details
- Operational data, forecasts, and system designs
- Unpublished methods, models, and software
- The fact that we are in discussions, when either side asks that this stay private
Personal information is also handled under our Privacy Policy.
What is not confidential
Information is not confidential if:
- It is already public, through no fault of the person who received it
- The receiving side already knew it, and can show that
- A third party gives it to the receiving side without a duty to keep it secret
- The receiving side develops it independently, without using the other side's information
- It must be disclosed by law, regulation, or a court or government order
If a disclosure is required by law, the side that has to disclose will, where the law allows, tell the other side first so they can seek a protective order.
How we handle it
The side that receives confidential information will:
- Use it only to evaluate or carry out the work we are discussing
- Share it only with people who need it for that purpose, and who are bound to keep it confidential
- Protect it with at least the same care they use for their own confidential information, and in any case with reasonable care
- Not copy it except as needed for that purpose
We do not use a client's confidential information to train public models, or to share it with another client.
How long we keep it
We keep confidential information only for as long as we need it for the discussion or the engagement, and for any longer period the law or the signed contract requires.
When you ask us to, and when we no longer need the information, we will return or delete the copies we hold, except for copies we must keep for legal, security, or backup reasons. Those remaining copies stay subject to this policy.
Obligations of confidence continue for three years after the information is shared, unless a signed NDA sets a different period, or the information stops being confidential sooner under the rules above.
No obligation to proceed
Sharing information does not require either side to continue the discussion, to sign a contract, or to buy or sell anything.
Confidential information remains the property of the side that shared it. Sharing it does not grant a licence to use it beyond the purpose above.
Asking for a signed NDA
Write to info@scoptanalytics.com and tell us who the parties are. We will send a mutual NDA for review. Please do not send highly sensitive data until the NDA is signed, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing.
