Private sourcing disclosures.

Transparency review without exposing commercial supplier information.

Roles and evidence

Manufacturer, wholesaler, distributor, and reseller are different roles. A reseller invoice does not establish an actual manufacturing entity. Unresolved origin stays unresolved.

Confidentiality

Confidential supplier identities, contacts, locations, invoices, and sourcing relationships remain private. They are excluded from public profiles, APIs, reports, search indexes, and exports. No commercial reuse or referrals without appropriate authorization.

Public reports

Keep original reports private. Identify public redactions while accurately preserving actual sample findings. Sourcing-document review does not transfer a sample result to a supplier’s entire output.

Supplier information remains restricted and is not analytical proof of manufacturing origin.
