Privacy Policy
Plain English about what I collect, why, and what I will never do with it.
Last updated: [LAST UPDATED: edit this date before launch]
This site is operated by Phil Dave, an independent practice (referred to here as "I" or "me"). This policy explains what information I collect through this website, how I use it, and the choices you have. By using the site or contacting me through it, you agree to the practices described below.
Who runs this site
Phil Dave is an independent service. I am not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any procurement platform or any government body, including but not limited to MERX, BidNet Direct, CanadaBuys, SAM.gov, or any federal, provincial, state or municipal agency. Platform and agency names are used only to describe the publicly available systems I monitor.
What I collect
- Information you give me. When you fill out a form, book a call, request a sample opportunity, or email me, I collect details such as your name, company, email address, the trade or industry you work in, the regions where you bid, and anything else you choose to share.
- Basic usage data. Like most websites, this one may collect standard technical information such as your browser type, device and pages visited, through server logs or analytics tools, to keep the site working and understand how it is used.
How I use it
- To reply to you and provide the discovery, monitoring and qualification services you ask about.
- To schedule and prepare for calls, and to send the opportunities or information you request.
- To improve the website and the service.
- To meet legal or regulatory obligations where they apply.
What I will not do
I do not sell your information, and I do not rent or trade your details to third parties for their own marketing. The details you share come to me and are used to help you. That is the whole point of how I work.
Sharing with service providers
I may use trusted third-party tools to run the practice, for example email, scheduling, hosting or analytics providers. Those providers only process your information to provide their service to me, and are expected to keep it confidential. I may also disclose information if required by law.
How long I keep it
I keep the information you share for as long as it is needed to respond to you and provide the service, and to meet any legal obligations. When it is no longer needed, I take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.
Your choices and rights
You can ask me to access, correct or delete the personal information I hold about you, or to stop contacting you, at any time. Just email me at phil@phildave.com and I will take care of it. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as Canada's PIPEDA or applicable U.S. state privacy laws.
Children
This site is meant for businesses and the people who run them. It is not directed at children, and I do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of majority.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy from time to time. When I do, I will revise the "last updated" date above. Significant changes will be reflected on this page.
