Privacy Policy for TenderPal

Last updated: 2025

TenderPal (“we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you visit www.tenderpal.org or contact us. We comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Norwegian data-protection law. If you do not agree with this policy, please refrain from using this website.

Who We Are
TenderPal is an independent technical consultancy based in Norway. We can be contacted at alevtyna@tenderpal.org for any questions regarding this policy or your personal data.

Data We Collect
When you contact us through our website, by email, or when you request information, we may collect your name, email address, the name of your institution or organization, and the content of your message. If you choose to receive marketing emails, we will also store your marketing-consent preferences. When you visit our website, basic technical information may be collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. Our website is hosted by Squarespace, which may process analytics data on our behalf.

How We Use Your Data
We use your information to respond to your inquiries, communicate with you, provide consulting services, improve our website, and, if you have given explicit consent, send occasional marketing emails or updates. We do not sell your data and we do not share it with external parties except for essential service providers who support our website or communication systems.

Marketing Emails
We will only send marketing emails if you actively consent by selecting the marketing-consent checkbox. You may unsubscribe at any time by contacting us or by using the link provided in marketing emails.

Your Rights
Under GDPR, you have the right to access your data, correct it, request deletion, restrict processing, object to processing, or request a copy of your data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at alevtyna@tenderpal.org. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or for as long as required by law. When the information is no longer required, we will delete it securely.

Security
We take appropriate measures to protect your personal information. While we strive to maintain a secure website, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and encourage you to review their policies separately.

Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any significant changes will be posted on this page.
