Sensitive work deserves explicit boundaries.

Before confidential information is shared

The public enquiry form is intended for initial, non-sensitive context. Please do not submit trade secrets, unpublished inventions, export-controlled information, regulated personal data or other highly confidential material through that form.

When a useful first discussion requires sensitive detail, SCULTRA Services is open to reviewing a reasonable mutual or client-provided non-disclosure agreement before that information is shared. No confidentiality agreement exists until it has been accepted in writing by the relevant parties.

Purpose-limited access to client information

Project information should be used only for the agreed work, communication, quality review, security and necessary business records. Access is intended to be limited to people who require it for the approved scope. A specialist, delivery partner or material service provider should be disclosed before receiving confidential project information, with appropriate confidentiality obligations used where required.

Client information is not sold and is not repurposed for unrelated marketing. Any permission to publish a client name, logo, testimonial, case study or project result must be obtained separately.

Intellectual property and deliverables

Each party retains ownership of intellectual property, methods, materials and know-how it owned before an engagement. The ownership or licence for commissioned deliverables is defined in the written proposal, statement of work or engagement agreement rather than assumed from a conversation or invoice.

Client-provided information remains the client's or its licensor's material. Relevant third-party data, software, open-source components, licences and usage restrictions should be identified where they form part of a deliverable.

Responsible automation and digital delivery

• A person remains accountable for project decisions, review and final delivery; automated output is not treated as self-validating.
• Confidential client material is not submitted to public or shared digital services without the client's permission and an agreed purpose.
• Confidential client material is not reused to train or improve public or shared systems.
• Material use of automated processing in research, design, code or delivery should be disclosed when it affects the method, risk or deliverable.
• Sources, calculations, code and generated content are reviewed in proportion to the consequences of error, with limitations made visible rather than concealed.
• Automation-assisted work is not represented as legal advice, patent clearance, regulatory approval, engineering certification or any other professional opinion it is not qualified to provide.

Storage, retention and project-specific controls

The appropriate collaboration tools, storage locations, access permissions, retention period, deletion or return process and any data-location requirements depend on the engagement. These can be agreed before sensitive material is transferred. Information should not be retained longer than reasonably required for delivery, support, agreed records or applicable legal obligations.

No internet or storage system can be promised to be completely secure. Projects involving specially regulated, classified, export-controlled or unusually sensitive information must be identified before transfer so that SCULTRA can determine whether the required controls can be supported.

How this statement applies

This page describes SCULTRA Services' public starting position. It is not itself an NDA or engagement agreement. A signed NDA, proposal, statement of work or other written agreement may contain more specific requirements and will control the relevant project if its terms differ.
