1. Introduction

Welcome to bids.attradeprice.co.uk, the merchant bidding platform for At Trade Price. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our website. It also explains your rights and how to contact us about any concerns.

By using our platform, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Who We Are

At Trade Price is a procurement and quoting platform operating through two connected websites:

  • attradeprice.co.uk – where customers (typically tradespeople or end users) submit quote requests for materials or products.

  • bids.attradeprice.co.uk – a secure platform where verified merchants can view and submit best and final prices in response to those quote requests.

3. What Information We Collect

3.1 Information You Provide Directly

  • Name, business name, and contact details when registering for a merchant account

  • Business address and postcode (for geo-location-based bidding alerts)

  • Email and password (for account access)

  • Prices and quotes submitted in response to listed quote requests

  • Any messages or communication submitted through the platform

3.2 Information We Collect Automatically

  • IP address and browser type

  • Date and time of login

  • Pages visited and search activity

  • Device type and operating system

3.3 Information from attradeprice.co.uk

We import quote requests submitted on attradeprice.co.uk into this site so verified merchants can respond with prices. These quote requests may include:

  • Product or material requirements

  • Delivery location (postcode or address)

  • Customer preferences or notes

No personally identifiable customer data from attradeprice.co.uk is shared with merchants unless a quote is accepted and the customer has opted in to communication.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Verify and manage merchant accounts

  • Match your business to relevant quote opportunities based on product categories and location

  • Notify you of new quote opportunities within your selected radius or categories

  • Allow you to submit pricing in a private, secure environment

  • Maintain records of quotes and bidding history

  • Prevent fraud or misuse of the platform

  • Improve and maintain the functionality and security of the website

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your data. We only share your information in the following situations:

  • With our administrators and developers to manage the platform

  • With legal authorities, if required by law

  • With customers only if your quote is accepted, and you are chosen as the preferred merchant

6. Data Storage and Security

We store your data securely using encrypted systems and access controls. Your passwords are hashed and not viewable by any staff. Only verified administrators have access to quote submission data for moderation and record-keeping purposes.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the data we hold about you

  • Request correction of inaccurate information

  • Request deletion of your data (unless we need to retain it for legal or record-keeping reasons)

8. Cookies

We use cookies for essential functionality (e.g. login sessions) and to improve performance (e.g. saving search preferences). You may adjust your browser settings to reject cookies, but this may affect site usability.

9. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with services. If your account is inactive for over 12 months, we may archive or delete your information.

10. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services (such as Google Maps API for location services) that collect anonymized usage data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
