This policy explains what information Seal the Bid collects, why, and what you can ask us to do with it. Questions: mark@sealthebid.com.
What we collect
- What you send us: through the onboarding form, the contact form, email or calls. Typically company details, contact names and details, registrations and certifications, past projects and references, and the documents and prices you share for a bid.
- Public business information: government contracting data (for example SAM.gov registrations and contract awards) and public business websites, which we use to find companies that may want our help.
- Technical data: our server keeps the minimum needed to run the site. We don't use advertising or analytics cookies. Team members who sign in get a session cookie.
How we use it
- To prepare your bids and deliver the services you ask for.
- To reply to you and to contact businesses about relevant government contracts. Every sales email lets you opt out, and we honor opt-outs promptly.
- To keep the site secure and working.
We don't sell your information.
Who it's shared with
- Service providers that run our business: cloud hosting (Google Cloud, in the United States), email, and AI tools we use to help draft bid documents. We configure AI tools so your information isn't used to train their models. These providers process data only for us.
- Government agencies, only in the bid documents you choose to submit.
- Authorities, where the law requires it.
How long we keep it
While you're a client, and afterwards for as long as needed for our records and legal obligations. Ask us to delete your information and we will, unless we have to keep it by law.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of your information, to correct it, to delete it, or to stop contacting you. Email mark@sealthebid.com. If you're in the European Union or the UK, you also have rights under the GDPR, including to object to processing and to complain to your data protection authority.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
