Legal Bases for Processing Under the GDPR

Where GDPR applies, we process personal data only where an applicable legal basis exists. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • Performance of a contract: processing necessary to provide requested services, manage an account, administer subscriptions or perform contractual obligations.
  • Legitimate interests: processing necessary for legitimate business interests such as security, service improvement, fraud prevention, business administration and limited business-to-business communications, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
  • Consent: We may rely on consent where required or appropriate, including for certain:
    • non-essential cookies;
    • marketing communications; and
    • other processing requiring consent under applicable law.
    Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out lawfully before withdrawal.
  • Legal obligation: We may process Personal Data where necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
  • Vital interests: where exceptionally necessary to protect someone's vital interests.

The specific legal basis may vary depending on the processing activity and will be identified in a more specific notice where required.

Marketing Communications

We may send information about TenderTiger services, tender intelligence products, events or relevant business offerings where permitted by applicable law.

Where applicable law requires consent, we will obtain it before sending the relevant marketing communications. You can withdraw marketing consent or opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism in the communication or by contacting Care@TenderTiger.com. Opting out of marketing will not affect essential service or transactional communications.

We do not treat your use of the website as blanket consent to receive all forms of marketing communications where consent is legally required.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

TenderTiger uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure the website, remember preferences, understand website usage and, where applicable, support analytics or marketing functionality.

Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation, security or requested functionality of the website may be used where permitted without consent. For non-essential cookies, such as certain analytics or advertising cookies, TenderTiger will obtain consent where required by applicable law.

Where a cookie consent mechanism is used, users should be able to accept or reject non-essential categories with comparable ease and should be able to change their preferences later.

The current website uses Google Tag Manager and may use other analytics or third-party technologies. The live cookie inventory, providers, purposes, retention periods and consent categories should be maintained in a separate Cookie Notice/Cookie Preference Centre and kept consistent with the technologies actually deployed on the site.

Sharing Personal Data

We may disclose personal data to the following categories of recipients where necessary and lawful:

  • Hosting, cloud, database, cybersecurity and IT service providers.
  • Email, communication, customer-support and messaging providers.
  • Payment processors, billing providers and financial service providers.
  • Analytics, website performance and technology providers.
  • Professional advisers, auditors, insurers and legal advisers.
  • Group companies and authorized business partners where necessary to provide services or where a lawful basis exists.
  • Government authorities, regulators, courts or law-enforcement bodies where disclosure is required or legally permitted.
  • A purchaser, investor or successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of relevant business assets, subject to applicable legal requirements.

We do not sell personal data as a commodity. Where a service provider processes personal data on our behalf, we will require appropriate contractual and security safeguards as required by applicable law.

International Transfers of Personal Data

TenderTiger is based in India, and some service providers or recipients may be located outside the EU/EEA. Where personal data is transferred from the EU/EEA to a country that does not benefit from an applicable adequacy decision, we will implement an appropriate transfer mechanism or safeguard where required, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or another mechanism recognized under applicable data protection law.

Information about relevant international transfers and safeguards may be provided upon request where disclosure is required by applicable law.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining business and financial records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, preventing fraud and complying with legal obligations.

Retention periods vary according to the type of data and purpose. Where a specific retention period is not stated, we determine the period using criteria such as the nature and sensitivity of the data, the purpose of processing, legal requirements, limitation periods and legitimate business needs.

When personal data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, anonymized or otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable law and our retention procedures.

Your GDPR Rights

Where the GDPR applies, you may have the following rights, subject to applicable conditions and exceptions:

  • Right to be informed about how your personal data is processed.
  • Right of access to personal data and relevant processing information.
  • Right to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • Right to erasure in circumstances provided by law.
  • Right to restriction of processing in specified circumstances.
  • Right to data portability where the legal requirements are met.
  • Right to object to certain processing, including direct marketing.
  • Right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
  • Rights concerning automated decision-making and profiling where Article 22 or other applicable GDPR provisions apply.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to statutory conditions and exceptions.

How to Exercise Your Rights?

To exercise a privacy or GDPR right, contact Care@TenderTiger.com with the subject line “GDPR / Data Protection Request”. You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection as applicable.

We may request reasonable information to verify your identity and protect against unauthorized disclosure of personal data.

We will respond without undue delay and generally within one month of receiving a valid request. Where permitted by the GDPR, the response period may be extended by up to two further months for complex or multiple requests, in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons.

Requests are generally handled free of charge. Where permitted by law, a reasonable fee may be charged or a request may be refused if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe that your personal data has been processed in breach of applicable data protection law, you may lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. For individuals in the EU/EEA, this may generally be the data protection authority in your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, subject to applicable rules.

You may contact the relevant national Data Protection Authority directly. Information about EU data protection authorities is available through the European Data Protection Board and European Commission resources.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction. Measures may include access controls, authentication, network and application security, logging, backups, monitoring and organizational controls appropriate to the risks.

No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security, but we maintain safeguards appropriate to the nature and risk of the processing.

Data Breaches

If a personal data breach occurs, TenderTiger will assess the incident and take appropriate containment, investigation, remediation and notification measures as required by applicable law. Where the GDPR requires notification to a supervisory authority or affected individuals, we comply with the applicable statutory requirements.

Children

Our services are intended primarily for businesses and professional users. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children where such collection is not necessary for the service. If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us without an appropriate legal basis, please contact us so that we can assess and take appropriate action.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, tender portals, payment services, social platforms or other external services. Those third parties operate under their own privacy policies. TenderTiger is not responsible for their privacy practices, and you should review their policies before submitting personal data.

Automated Processing and AI Features

TenderTiger provides AI-driven search and tender intelligence features. These technologies may use information such as search terms, tender categories, business interests and user preferences to improve search relevance or recommendations.

Where any processing constitutes automated decision-making that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects on an individual, TenderTiger will comply with applicable GDPR requirements, including applicable safeguards concerning human intervention, contesting a decision and obtaining an explanation where required.

TenderTiger should document the actual logic, data inputs and effects of any AI or profiling functionality before making a claim that Article 22 does or does not apply to a specific feature.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, technology, legal requirements or data-processing practices. The updated version will be published on www.tendertiger.eu with a revised effective date.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before implementing a material change.

Subject to any mandatory provisions of applicable data protection law, the courts at Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, claim or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Privacy Policy or the processing of Personal Data by TenderTiger.
