Privacy policy

Last updated October 20, 2026.

This policy explains what EasBid collects, why, and the choices you have. EasBid is a search and alert service for public government bid notices.

What we collect

• Account data (if you sign up): your email address, an optional company name, a securely hashed password (we never see or store it in plain text), your saved searches, watchlist and alert settings.
• Billing data (paid plans and trials): handled by our payment processor, Stripe. Your card number goes straight to Stripe; we never receive or store it. We keep your plan, subscription status and renewal date.
• Problem reports you send us: your comment, the page address, your browser and screen size, an email address if you give one, and a screenshot of the page only if you leave "Include a screenshot of this page" switched on.
• Support messages you send through the contact form: your email, your name if you give one, the topic and your message, so we can answer you.
• Technical data: IP address and browser type, used for security, abuse prevention and rate limits.

How we use it

To run your account, send the alert and account emails you ask for (including trial and renewal reminders the law requires), process payments, fix problems you report, and keep the service secure. We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Cookies

We use only essential cookies: a login session cookie, a cookie that counts free searches, and your light/dark theme choice (stored in your browser). We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, so there is nothing to opt out of.

Service providers

We use a small number of providers to run EasBid: website hosting and database (Cloudflare), payments (Stripe) and email delivery (Resend). They process data only to provide their service to us.

Your choices and rights

You can change or stop alert emails from any alert or your account page, delete saved searches anytime, and ask us to access, correct or delete your account data. Residents of California and other states with privacy laws have these rights too; we will not treat you differently for using them. To make a request, use "Report a problem" on any page and choose your request, or send us a message through the contact support form.

Retention

We keep account data while your account is open and delete it within 30 days after you ask us to close it, except billing records we must keep by law. Problem reports and support messages are kept until the issue is resolved, then for up to 12 months.

Children

EasBid is a business service and is not meant for children under 16.

Changes

If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we will update the date above and tell account holders by email.
