Privacy policy
BidWatch Guyana ("BidWatch", "we") is an Android app that alerts businesses when a public tender in Guyana matches their trade and region. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. It is run by Amarnauth Ramdihol, Georgetown, Guyana.
What we collect
- Account details you give us: email address, password (stored only as a secure hash, never readable), and optionally your company name and phone number.
- Your alert choices: the trades and regions you pick, whether you want phone or email alerts, and the tenders you save.
- A notification ID for your phone: a code from Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging that lets us send alerts to your device.
- Your plan and payments: which plan you are on and until when it is paid. Payments are made outside the app (for example MMG or bank transfer); we do not collect card details.
- Records of alerts sent: which tender alerts were sent to you and when, so you don't get the same alert twice.
We do not collect your location, contacts, photos or advertising ID, and the app has no ads.
How we use it
- To sign you in and keep your settings.
- To send you tender alerts and closing-date reminders by notification or email.
- To manage your plan and contact you about your account.
We do not sell your information or share it for advertising.
Who processes it for us
- DigitalOcean hosts our server and database.
- Google Firebase Cloud Messaging delivers phone notifications.
Information is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS). The tender notices themselves are public information from eprocure.gov.gy.
How long we keep it
We keep your information while you have an account. When you delete your account, your details, choices, saved tenders, alert records and notification IDs are deleted straight away. Server backups that may still contain them are overwritten within 30 days.
Your choices
- Change your details, trades, regions and alert settings in the app under Settings.
- Turn off phone or email alerts at any time.
- Delete your account in the app or by emailing us.
- Ask us for a copy of your information, or to correct it, by email.
Children
BidWatch is a business service and is not meant for anyone under 18.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date above and, for important changes, tell you in the app or by email.
