Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the Services, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services, when you participate in activities on the Services, or otherwise when you contact us.

- User-Generated Content: We collect the information you provide when you create Requests for Proposals (RFPs), submit bids, or communicate with other users on our platform. This includes any files or images you upload.
We use the information we collect or receive:
- To provide and manage our Services. We use your information to create and manage your account, process transactions, and provide you with our core services of generating RFPs, sourcing sellers, and facilitating communication.

Your data, including RFPs and communications, may be used to train, develop, and improve our AI models. We are committed to protecting your privacy and will take steps to anonymize and aggregate data used for training purposes where feasible.

- With Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Examples include payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, and customer service.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
