Last updated: September 14, 2026
Bid-Ready Intelligence is a publication owned and operated by Planet 39 LLC. In this Privacy Policy, “Bid-Ready Intelligence,” “Planet 39,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Planet 39 LLC and the Bid-Ready Intelligence publication. This Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit our website, subscribe to Free Signal, communicate with us, or use a related service.
Planet 39 LLC determines how subscriber information is used for Bid-Ready Intelligence and is the operator responsible for this Policy. Bid-Ready Intelligence is intended for adults and business users in the United States.This Policy applies to the Bid-Ready Intelligence website, subscription forms, newsletters, optional subscriber-profile features if activated, and communications sent to or from [email protected]. It does not govern independently operated government procurement portals or other third-party websites linked from our content.
We may collect the following categories of personal information:
Subscription and consent records: This may include your email address, subscription status, submission and confirmation timestamps, acquisition source, form identifier, and consent-language version. We use these records for double opt-in, newsletter delivery, attribution, consent evidence, suppression, and compliance. These records may be processed by beehiiv and infrastructure providers supporting the publication. We retain them while you are subscribed, and we may retain limited consent and suppression records afterward to document compliance and prevent unwanted email.
Optional business-profile information: This may include your company name, services, service geography, typical contract size, bid lead time, workforce capacity, SAM.gov or Unique Entity Identifier status, certifications, licenses, insurance or bonding capacity, past-performance categories, and preferred language. We use this information to understand subscriber needs and improve content relevance. It may be processed by beehiiv or another disclosed form provider if this optional feature is activated. We retain it while relevant to the subscription and publication and delete or de-identify it when no longer reasonably needed, subject to lawful exceptions.
Communications: This may include messages, replies, support requests, privacy requests, and other information you voluntarily provide. We use this information to respond to inquiries, maintain records, protect rights, and resolve disputes. It may be processed through Hostinger, beehiiv when applicable, and providers supporting business communications. We retain it as reasonably necessary to respond, document the interaction, comply with law, and protect legal rights.
Website, device, and email activity: This may include your IP address, browser or device type, referring page, approximate location derived from your IP address, website visits, form activity, delivery status, opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribe activity. We use this information to operate and secure the service, measure performance, troubleshoot delivery, prevent abuse, and improve content. It may be processed by beehiiv and other technical service providers. We retain it for the period reasonably needed for analytics, security, deliverability, and compliance, subject to provider settings and legal requirements.We collect information directly from you, automatically through the website or emails, and from service providers acting for us.
We do not purchase subscriber lists.Please do not submit Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, payment-card information, health information, or other sensitive personal information through our subscription, profile, or contact forms. Free Signal does not require payment information. Before introducing any paid product or materially different data practice, we will provide appropriate notice and update this Policy when required.
We use personal information to:
confirm and manage subscriptions using double opt-in;
deliver Free Signal and related communications requested by subscribers;
respond to questions and provide subscriber support;
understand subscriber interests and improve publication relevance;
measure website and newsletter performance;
maintain consent, attribution, suppression, and compliance records;
protect our website, publication, subscribers, and systems from fraud, abuse, and security threats;
create aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify an individual; and
comply with legal obligations and establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.
The optional subscriber profile is not required to receive the general Free Signal edition. We do not use personal information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Free Signal uses double opt-in. A subscription becomes active only after the subscriber confirms the email address through the confirmation email.You may unsubscribe at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link included in each newsletter. Unsubscribing stops marketing newsletters but does not necessarily erase all records. We may retain limited suppression and consent information to honor the opt-out, document compliance, and prevent unwanted email unless you later subscribe again.
We use beehiiv’s native website and email analytics to understand delivery, opens, clicks, referrals, and general engagement. These functions may use cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons, and similar technologies. You may control browser cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies or images may affect certain website functions or email-open measurements.As of this Policy’s effective date:
we do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, third-party advertising pixels, or cross-context behavioral advertising;
we do not use beehiiv’s Ad Network or activate incoming or outgoing paid recommendations;
we do not select other publications for outgoing free-recommendation slots; and
we do not receive payment for recommending other publications or pay for referred subscribers.
beehiiv may still display public information about the Bid-Ready Intelligence publication within its Recommendations Network and record a referral source when a person arrives through another publication. beehiiv currently does not allow a publication to opt out of appearing in that network. Planet 39 does not provide or sell its subscriber list to other publishers for this purpose.If we later introduce advertising, paid recommendations, external analytics, or another materially different tracking practice, we will update this Policy and provide any notice or choice required by applicable law before activating it.
We may disclose personal information:
to service providers operating our website, newsletter, business email, security, analytics, and related infrastructure, including beehiiv and Hostinger;
when required to comply with law, legal process, or a valid government request;
when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of Planet 39, Bid-Ready Intelligence, our subscribers, or others;
in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, sale, or transfer of all or part of the publication or business, subject to appropriate protections; or
with your direction or consent.
Planet 39 does not sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not disclose subscriber information to YFSS for its independent marketing or treat a Bid-Ready Intelligence subscriber as a YFSS client merely because the person subscribed.beehiiv generally processes a publisher’s subscriber information as a processor or service provider on the publisher’s behalf. beehiiv may also process certain information independently for security, abuse prevention, platform operations, and optional features, as explained in the beehiiv Privacy Policy. Hostinger provides our branded business mailbox; messages sent to or from that mailbox are processed through Hostinger’s email service.
Planet 39 is based in the United States. Our service providers may process information in the United States and other jurisdictions. Privacy protections may differ between jurisdictions. We take reasonable steps to use providers and arrangements designed to protect information consistently with this Policy and applicable law.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. We consider the information’s nature and sensitivity, the subscriber’s status and activity, operational and security needs, legal requirements, and the risk of retaining or deleting it.Consent records, unsubscribe requests, and suppression records may be retained longer when necessary to document compliance and prevent unwanted email. Information may remain temporarily in backups until routine deletion or replacement.
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:
confirm whether we process personal information about you;
access or receive a portable copy of certain information;
correct inaccurate information;
delete information, subject to lawful exceptions;
withdraw consent or unsubscribe from marketing email;
opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, sharing, or qualifying profiling; and
appeal a decision concerning a privacy request.
Planet 39 does not currently sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use it for qualifying automated profiling. We will honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals when applicable to our practices.To submit a request, email [email protected] with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity and authority before completing a request. Applicable rights and exceptions vary by jurisdiction.If we deny a request and applicable law gives you an appeal right, reply with “Privacy Appeal” in the subject line and explain why you believe the decision should be reconsidered. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our website and newsletters may link to government procurement portals, issuing agencies, and other third-party websites. Those parties operate independently and their own policies govern their privacy and security practices. A link does not make Planet 39 responsible for a third party’s practices.
Bid-Ready Intelligence is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.
We may update this Privacy Policy as our services, providers, or legal obligations change. We will post the revised Policy with a new “Last updated” date and provide additional notice when required by law. Materially different uses of previously collected information will not begin without any notice or consent required by applicable law.
