2. Data We Collect
Automatically collected: When you visit TenderMetric, our infrastructure (Cloudflare) processes standard web logs including IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, and page views. This data is used for security, performance monitoring, and analytics. Cloudflare may retain this data per their own privacy policy.
Cookies: We use a cookie consent mechanism. We use functional cookies (e.g., your cookie consent preference stored in localStorage) and, if consented, analytics and advertising cookies. No tracking cookies are set without your explicit consent.
Usage data via Google Analytics 4 — collected only after cookie consent. Data is pseudonymised and used solely to understand how visitors navigate the platform and to improve its functionality. You may opt out at any time by declining cookies via our consent banner.
Advertising data — TenderMetric may display advertisements served by third-party ad networks. If you accept cookies, these networks may use cookies or similar identifiers to show ads based on your interests and browsing behaviour. Each network acts as an independent data controller for this processing under its own privacy policy.
Contact inquiries: If you contact us by email, we store your email address and message solely to respond to your inquiry. This data is not shared with third parties and is deleted after 12 months.
3. Tender Data — No Personal Data
All procurement notices displayed on TenderMetric are sourced from TED Europa, a public EU institution. This data constitutes public information published under EU law (Directive 2014/24/EU) and re-used under EU Open Data Directive 2019/1024. Contracting authority names and contact details in notices are institutional, not personal, data.
