The privacy and protection of your personal and financial information is very important to us.  That is why we have created this privacy statement, which fully describes our information gathering and dissemination practices.  It is the best way we can demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy.  We use your personal information for the following purposes:

• Creating and personalizing your account information.
• Delivering the appropriate bid information to you.
• Facilitating restricted promotions when applicable.
• Providing us with the information we need to support your company with utilizing this Online Bid System.

Use of Your Information

We may also use information from your account based on your site visits to generate statistics and aggregate reports for internal use, which may be shown to affiliates, subsidiaries, licensees, successors, and partners.  These statistics and aggregate reports will not contain any personally identifiable information and your identity will be kept anonymous.  Certain confidential information -- such as your password, will not be disclosed in any of these reports.

You will not be contacted by any third party as a result of your relationship with BidNet and the Participating Organizations on this System.

Security Precautions

Our site has stringent security measures in place to prevent the loss, misuse, and alteration of information under our control.  Usernames, passwords, Federal ID and/or SSN numbers are all stored in this database as encrypted.

In addition, your account information is password-protected so that you and only you have access to this personal information.  Please do not disclose your password to anyone.  Always remember to log out of your account and close your browser window when you are finished using this System.  This helps keep your account safe.

While we strive to prevent unauthorized access to your personal information, no data transmission over the Internet is guaranteed to be 100% secure.  Thus, BidNet and the Participating Organizations cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information during transmission to or from this site, and you submit information to us at your own risk.  However, we do our best to ensure the highest level of security.

Once again, such information is used to target advertisements and content that may be of interest to you, and also to provide statistical insight through features such as Google Analytics.

In some instances, tracking tools used by third-party service providers may be disabled. For example, Google allows you to deactivate cookies designed to target ads by accessing the Opt-Out page of its main website. Google Analytics may also be deactivated, once you download the browser add-on available for that purpose. You may also decline the use of cookies by other third-party vendors by logging on to the Network Advertising Initiative consumer deactivation page.
