Information is handled with context and control.

1. Project information

Client briefs, opportunity submissions, company responses, RFx drafts and project notes are handled as business information related to a specific project or potential project.

2. Controlled disclosure

ATLAS may limit what is disclosed at the first-contact stage. Client identity, detailed specifications, quantities, pricing logic or strategic intent may be withheld until the appropriate stage or written approval.

3. Opportunity submissions

Companies submitting opportunities should avoid sending confidential technical data at the first stage unless requested. ATLAS may ask for a non-confidential summary first.

4. Sharing information

Information is shared only when relevant to the project, opportunity review, client evaluation, direct talks or agreed next step.

5. Separate NDA

If a project requires exchange of confidential technical, commercial or strategic data, a separate NDA or written confidentiality arrangement may be used.
