This Privacy Policy explains how Awardly ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use awardly.app. By using Awardly, you agree to the practices described here.
Awardly is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that helps government and commercial contractors evaluate bid opportunities. Awardly is operated by Melinda Schnabel as a sole proprietor. You can contact us at hello@awardly.app.
We do not sell your data. We do not use your data to train third-party AI models without your consent.
Awardly relies on the following trusted service providers:
Solicitation documents you submit for analysis are processed in real time via Anthropic's Claude API and are not stored on our servers at any point. The original document text is never retained beyond the duration of a single analysis session.
When you save opportunities to your Pipeline, the following pipeline metadata is stored: opportunity name, agency, solicitation number, contract value, due date, status, win probability score, recommendation, and any notes you enter. This data is stored in your browser's local storage on your own device. If you are signed in to an Awardly account, this pipeline metadata is also synced to a secure cloud account hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure to allow cross-device access.
Important: Do not enter Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), classified information, awarded contract performance data, pre-decisional procurement documents, NDA-protected materials, or any non-public sensitive information into Awardly — including into notes and comments fields. Awardly is designed for use with publicly posted solicitations only and is not authorized, certified, or designed to process CUI or any controlled information.
Awardly is a bid intelligence tool designed exclusively for analyzing publicly posted solicitations — documents that are intentionally made available to the public through SAM.gov, state procurement portals, or other public channels. Publicly posted solicitations are not CUI.
Awardly is not a CUI-authorized system. Our technology stack — including Anthropic's Claude API, Cloudflare Workers, and GitHub Pages — is not FedRAMP authorized and has not been assessed for CMMC compliance. Accordingly:
Awardly employs an automated, best-effort screen that attempts to detect common CUI markings, classification banners, FOUO designations, distribution limitation statements, and export-control markings before any document text is transmitted for analysis. When such markings are detected, Awardly will block the submission and display a notification explaining the reason.
This detection is not guaranteed to be comprehensive or error-free. It is a safeguard — not a substitute for user judgment. Users bear primary and sole responsibility for ensuring that no CUI, classified information, or other controlled material is submitted to Awardly, regardless of whether the automated screen triggers. Awardly and Renown Evaluation Specialists, LLC accept no liability for damages arising from a user's submission of controlled or restricted information.
If you receive a CUI block notification and believe it is a false positive (for example, your public solicitation contains the word "controlled" or "confidential" in a standard commercial context), clear the text and re-submit only the public portions of the document. If you have questions about whether a specific document is appropriate to submit, consult your facility security officer (FSO) or compliance officer before proceeding.
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your account, we will delete your personal data within 90 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or financial compliance purposes (such as transaction records).
Cloud-synced pipeline metadata is deleted within 90 days of account cancellation. Browser-local data is stored on your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), server-side API key storage via Cloudflare secrets, and access controls. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@awardly.app.
Awardly is a professional business tool intended for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by prominently posting a notice on the platform. Continued use of Awardly after the effective date of any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
