Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. Here is how ProjectsBid collects, handles, and protects your information.

1. Information We Collect

When you submit a project or place a bid on ProjectsBid, we collect information needed to feature your project on the leaderboard:

  • Project URL (website link, demo URL, or GitHub repository).
  • Project metadata including title, tagline, description, and selected tech stacks.
  • Bidder label (username or public handle provided during checkout).
  • Payment transaction identifiers provided by our authorized payment gateways.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information exclusively to operate and enhance the ProjectsBid platform:

  • To rank and showcase your project publicly on the live board and discover directory.
  • To calculate real-time leaderboard rankings and competitive bid totals.
  • To verify payment confirmations and prevent fraudulent submissions.
  • To display engagement telemetry such as verified views and outbound click rates.

3. Payment Processing & Security

We do not store full credit card numbers or banking credentials on our servers. All financial transactions are encrypted and processed by PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment providers (such as Dodo Payments and Stripe).

4. Public Project Profiles

Information you submit for public display (project name, description, live links, and total bid amounts) is publicly accessible across the Internet. Please do not submit private credentials, secret API keys, or confidential information in project descriptions.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

ProjectsBid uses local storage and lightweight session tokens solely to preserve your view preferences (such as List view versus Card view on the Discover page) and maintain active filter selections.

6. Data Retention & Deletion

Projects and verified bid histories remain on the board as long as the service is active. If you wish to update project details or request removal of a listing, you may reach out to support.
