Plain language.
Real boundaries.

1. Information we collect

Account and security information you provide or connect, including email address, authentication identities, verified phone or authenticator-factor status, account notices, and invitation or membership records.

Workspace information you choose to store, including company profile details, pursuits, decisions, drafts, review history, pricing work, source documents, integrations, messages, and other customer-owned files or records.

Service, safety, and billing records needed to operate GovBidFinder, such as page and feature events, request status, usage totals, device or network information, security logs, subscription identifiers, invoices, and entitlement state. Stripe processes card details; GovBidFinder does not store a full card number.

2. How we use information

We use information to authenticate people, enforce workspace permissions, provide Search and paid workflows, prepare customer-requested exports, process and reconcile subscriptions, respond to support, measure reliability and cost, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.

GovBidFinder does not sell personal information or use customer workspace content for cross-context behavioral advertising. Product analytics are designed to use bounded event names and aggregate states rather than customer documents, prompts, answers, filenames, solicitation identifiers, or workspace content.

3. AI-assisted work

When an authorized person requests a model-backed feature, GovBidFinder sends only the context selected and needed for that request to the disclosed provider. The result is assistance for human review—not a bid decision, certification, signature, legal conclusion, or submission.

Deep Analysis currently discloses Anthropic as the provider and a 30-day provider-retention boundary before execution. Deterministic features do not create a paid model request. Provider, model, source, retention, and human-review state are recorded when the workflow supports a receipt.

4. Service providers and integrations

Supabase provides database, authentication, and file storage; Vercel provides application hosting, delivery, analytics, and security logs; Stripe provides payment processing; Anthropic provides requested model-backed analysis; and configured email or messaging providers deliver account and security messages.

Optional measurement through Google Ads is off until you choose to enable it. When enabled, GovBidFinder may send Google Ads a verified paid-subscription conversion containing the purchase value, currency, and a checkout transaction identifier. We do not send searches, prompts, files, company details, or account email through this event; ad personalization and enhanced conversions remain disabled.

When enabled, Cloudflare Turnstile processes browser and network signals to protect sign-in, signup, password recovery, and invitation flows from automated abuse. Its challenge token is short-lived, single-use, and sent to Supabase for validation; GovBidFinder does not use it for advertising.

Optional Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 connections are activated only by an authorized workspace user and are limited to the scopes and selected files shown in the connection flow. Their separate terms and privacy practices also apply. GovBidFinder records connection and action receipts without storing credentials in customer exports.

5. Workspace sharing and customer control

Workspace information is available only to people the workspace authorizes, subject to their role. A workspace owner controls shared workspace membership and data. User-scoped private Scout history, memory, and notifications are not silently exposed to other members.

Owners can prepare a structured workspace export containing eligible records and customer-owned source files. The export manifest identifies included collections, fingerprints, and explicit omissions; credentials and another member’s private user-scoped records are excluded.

6. Retention and deletion requests

Account deletion uses a 30-day cooling-off period after identity verification. Before irreversible processing, the requester receives an export opportunity, shared or paid workspace ownership must be resolved through an accepted transfer, and subscription responsibilities must be resolved. A request may be cancelled before processing begins.

Sole-owner customer content is scheduled for deletion after the approved gates pass. Shared workspace content remains with the workspace after an accepted ownership transfer, while the departing person’s access and eligible user-scoped data are removed. Limited billing, fraud-prevention, security, dispute, and legal records may be retained only for their documented purpose and then deleted or anonymized under the applicable schedule.

Storage objects must be removed through the storage service before the authentication identity is deleted. Provider-controlled backups, logs, and model-request retention may expire on the provider’s separate schedule; deletion from the active service does not imply an instant rewrite of historical backups.

7. Your choices and requests

You may request access, correction, export, or deletion from Account & Security or by emailing hello@govbidfinder.org from the address associated with the account. We verify requests and respond within the time required by applicable law. We may keep information when a legal exception applies and will explain that boundary when required.

You can keep optional Google Ads measurement off or change the saved choice through the Privacy choices control. GovBidFinder does not sell personal information or use customer workspace content for cross-context behavioral advertising.

You may disconnect optional integrations and revoke developer tokens from their workspace controls. Subscription cancellation and account deletion are separate actions: cancelling a subscription stops future renewal under the Terms but does not by itself delete workspace data.

8. Security, children, and changes

GovBidFinder uses authentication, role-scoped authorization, second-factor checks for sensitive actions, encrypted provider transport, private file access, bounded logs, and service-provider controls. No online service can promise perfect security; do not upload information you are not authorized to process.

GovBidFinder is a business service for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. Material policy changes will update the effective date and, when appropriate, be communicated through the service or account contact channel.

1. The service and your responsibility

GovBidFinder is a private service operated by Chart Digital Ventures LLC. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the United States government, SAM.gov, or any procurement authority.

GovBidFinder helps people find public opportunities, organize authorized source material, analyze requirements, prepare drafts, and record review. You remain responsible for eligibility, representations, pricing, legal and security conclusions, document completeness, signatures, deadlines, and submission through the official channel. GovBidFinder does not submit a bid for you and does not guarantee compliance, responsiveness, award, revenue, or any other outcome.

2. Accounts, workspaces, and security

You must be at least 18 and authorized to act for any business or workspace you use. Keep account methods and second factors secure, invite only authorized people, assign accurate roles, and notify us promptly of suspected misuse.

Workspace owners control shared membership and are responsible for resolving ownership before leaving, closing, or deleting a shared or paid workspace. GovBidFinder may require a fresh verified session or second factor for billing, exports, integrations, memory approval, and other sensitive actions.

If activated, the GovBidFinder security-code SMS program sends recurring one-time authentication codes only after you request them and consent at the send control. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies with your requests. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help, or contact hello@govbidfinder.org. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. SMS consent is not a condition of purchase, is not shared for third-party marketing, and may be withdrawn by removing the phone factor or replying STOP.

3. Free and paid availability

Search can be offered without a paid workspace. A paid offer exists only when the Pricing page presents an enabled purchase action and Checkout verifies the exact active monthly Stripe price. A disabled Team control, assisted Company discussion, waitlist, or unavailable Scout Capacity control is not an offer for immediate purchase.

Published features and limits must match server-enforced policy. GovBidFinder does not promise unlimited model use, universal opportunity coverage, a specific document or token allowance, or an overage charge unless the product shows and enforces that exact term. Existing legacy entitlements may be honored according to their recorded terms, but no retired Lifetime plan is offered for new purchase.

4. Billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds

Self-service subscriptions are billed in advance by Stripe at the displayed subscription price plus applicable taxes where required, and renew automatically until cancelled. Cancellation stops future renewal; access normally continues through the paid period unless law, fraud, a chargeback, or a documented support resolution requires a different result. A subscription belongs to the verified GovBidFinder billing identity and workspace—not merely the contact email typed into Stripe.

Except where required by law or expressly approved in writing, payments are final and unused time is not refunded. Contact hello@govbidfinder.org for cancellation or billing help when the product’s billing control is unavailable. Cancelling billing does not submit an account-deletion request, and requesting deletion does not silently transfer or cancel a shared workspace subscription.

5. Customer content and permitted use

You retain rights in content you provide. You grant GovBidFinder and its service providers a limited right to host, copy, transform, transmit, and display that content only as needed to provide the requested service, maintain security, support export or deletion, and comply with law.

You represent that you are authorized to use every file, source, credential, integration, company fact, and instruction you provide. Do not upload classified information, source-selection information, export-controlled data, controlled unclassified information, personal information, third-party confidential material, or other regulated content unless its use is specifically authorized and the product has been approved for that data class. No FedRAMP, CMMC, SOC 2, or other certification is claimed unless the Trust page expressly records verified evidence.

6. Public sources, AI output, and review

Public-source records can be incomplete, delayed, superseded, or incorrectly interpreted. The authoritative posting, solicitation, amendment, Q&A, clause text, and submission system control. Always verify the current official record.

AI-assisted output may be incorrect, incomplete, or unsupported. Citations and product receipts help review provenance; they do not certify applicability, compliance, legal effect, reasonableness, or acceptance. Human review is required before relying on or using any generated work.

7. Acceptable use and service protection

Do not break the law; infringe rights; upload material you cannot use; bypass access, usage, or payment controls; interfere with the service; probe another tenant; distribute credentials; scrape or resell the application; or represent generated material as approved, signed, submitted, received, or awarded when it is not.

GovBidFinder may rate-limit, pause model-backed work at a disclosed safety boundary, suspend access needed to investigate misuse or protect people and systems, and change or discontinue features. We will avoid silently deleting customer work and will preserve export or lifecycle access when the applicable plan policy provides it.

8. Disclaimers and liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. GOVBIDFINDER DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND DOES NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE OR COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE INFORMATION.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GOVBIDFINDER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, OR LOST DATA. TOTAL LIABILITY FOR A CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID GOVBIDFINDER IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. Some jurisdictions do not allow every limitation, so the limits apply only to the extent permitted.

9. Changes, termination, law, and contact

Material changes to these Terms will update the effective date and, when appropriate, be communicated through the service or account contact channel. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms. You may stop using the service; GovBidFinder may suspend or terminate access for breach, nonpayment, misuse, law, or security needs.

These Terms are governed by Utah law without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Utah unless applicable law requires otherwise. Questions may be sent to hello@govbidfinder.org.
