Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 19, 2026

1. Introduction

ContractFinder.ca (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at contractfinder.ca.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including account registration details (name, email address, password), business profile information (service categories, regions, bonding capacity), and communications you send to us.

We also automatically collect certain information when you visit our website, including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and usage data through cookies and similar technologies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide and maintain our service, notify you about tender matches and saved search alerts, improve and personalize your experience, communicate with you about your account, and comply with legal obligations.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with service providers who assist us in operating our platform (hosting, analytics, email delivery), when required by law, or with your consent.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. You can manage your account settings or contact us to exercise these rights.

7. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and platform functionality. Analytics cookies help us understand how you use our site. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Optional tool analytics and local drafts

The bid-readiness worksheet and signup page offer optional Google Analytics usage measurement. It stays off until you choose to allow it and respects browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals. We count fixed feature actions and successful account creation, without sending worksheet text, tender URLs, references, email addresses or other form values to Analytics. Measurement uses fixed page paths without query parameters.

Your analytics choice is saved in this browser. You can change it using the optional usage analytics controls on the worksheet or signup page. Analytics cookies may be set after you opt in. Choosing to keep analytics off does not restrict the tools.

Saving a worksheet draft stores one worksheet locally in this browser profile. It is not cloud account storage. Other people using the same profile may read it; use Clear worksheet to remove it and download a copy you need to retain. Avoid entering confidential bid material on shared devices.

8. Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us through our website or email.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
