What happens to the bids you send
Last updated September 28, 2026
This site takes no files
The only form here asks for your first name and email address. Your bids never come through it. You send them after we've talked, in the way we agree on the call.
Your bids go into your own Bid Desk
Every firm gets its own copy of Bid Desk, with its own database and its own sign-ins. No other client's copy can reach yours. We use your bids to build yours, and nothing else.
Who can see them
- People on your team, once they're signed in. The database checks this on every table itself, so it holds even outside Bid Desk's own screens.
- Files sit in private storage, and Bid Desk opens them only through links that stop working after 15 minutes.
- Boschly, who builds and runs your copy, can open its database to set it up and fix problems.
Where they're kept
Supabase holds your copy's database and files. It encrypts all of it at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS), and keeps each copy in one region, picked when we set yours up. Tell us where yours needs to be. The app itself runs on Railway, which doesn't keep your documents: they're saved to the database.
Which outside services read them
- Anthropic (Claude)
- Reads the RFP and your documents, and writes drafts from the facts your team approves. Its commercial terms say it may not train models on what you send. It deletes what it receives within 30 days, and keeps a request longer only if its safety systems flag it (up to 2 years) or the law requires it. It stores data in the United States.
- Voyage AI
- Turns passages from your past bids into numbers, so Bid Desk can find the right answer for a new question. Its terms let it train on what it receives unless the account opts out, so your copy's account is opted out before any of your bids go in. It may process data in the United States.
Deleting it
Ask heinrich@bid-desk.us, and we delete your copy and everything in it. It's done by hand, so it's a request, and we reply within ten working days. Supabase's daily backups expire on their own, within 30 days at most depending on the plan.
