Who We Are
Welcome to Bidmanager, a platform designed to streamline the bidding process for projects on Freelancer.com. Our website address is: https://bidmanager.org. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on Bidmanager, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, such as your name, email address, and comment text, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This data helps us detect and prevent spam or malicious activity. An anonymized string generated from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if linked to Gravatar) may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to Bidmanager, please ensure that the images do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract any location data from images on the website. We recommend removing such data to protect your privacy.
Cookies

Embedded content from other websites
Articles or content on Bidmanager may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from third-party websites. Embedded content behaves the same as if you visited the other website directly. These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with their content, particularly if you are logged into an account with that website
Who we share your data with
Bidmanager values your privacy and does not share your personal information with third parties without your explicit consent, except as required by law or necessary for the operation of the service (such as spam detection). If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment on Bidmanager, the comment and its
metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize
and automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding
them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our
website, we store the personal information provided in their
user profile. Registered users can see, edit, or delete their
personal information at any time (except for their username,
which cannot be changed). Website administrators have access to
view and edit user data as necessary to maintain the website.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on Bidmanager, or if you have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided. You also have the right to request that we erase your personal data. However, this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services to ensure the security and functionality of the platform. We use tools to monitor activity to prevent fraud and abuse on Bidmanager.
