Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Notice Nudge ("we," "us," or "our"), operated by Mike Redfield in Colorado, USA, collects, uses, and shares information when you use our federal contract alert Service.
Questions or requests: support@noticenudge.com.
1. What we collect
Depending on how you use the Service, we may collect:
| Category | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account & contact | Name, email address | Create your account, run the free trial, send daily SAM.gov-matching alerts (6:00 AM Mountain Time), trial reminders, receipts, and service messages |
| Alert preferences | NAICS/trade codes, states, set-aside filters, plan tier (Solo or Pro) | Match public SAM.gov notices to what you asked for |
| Phone number (optional) | Mobile number | Only if you opt in to SMS alerts later; email is the main channel today |
| Payment details | Card and billing info | Required to start the 14-day free trial and for paid subscriptions. Processed by Stripe. We do not store your full card number on our systems |
| Usage & technical | IP address, browser type, pages requested, approximate location from IP (from ordinary server logs) | Security and debugging. We do not run our own analytics — see Section 4 |
| Support messages | Content of emails you send us | Respond to billing, filter, or cancellation questions |
We do not sell your personal information.
2. How we use your information
We use the information above to:
- Provide and improve the Service (match filters, send the daily digest at 6:00 AM Mountain Time and Pro same-day alerts, manage Solo/Pro subscriptions and free trials)
- Bill you through Stripe after the trial (unless you cancel), and handle cancellations via the Stripe Customer Portal
- Send transactional mail (welcome, day-2 onboarding, trial-ending reminder, receipts, cancellation confirmations) and, if you opt in, product updates
- Detect abuse, fix bugs, and comply with law
Alert content itself is derived from public SAM.gov data. Your personal filters and contact details are not published.
3. Processors who help us run the Service
We share data with trusted processors only as needed to operate the Service:
| Processor | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Payment processing, subscriptions, Customer Portal (cancel / update card) | Name, email, payment method, subscription status, billing history |
| MailerLite | Signup forms, welcome / onboarding / trial-reminder emails, and ongoing alert / transactional email delivery | Name, email, subscription-related tags or groups you belong to |
These companies process data under their own privacy policies and our agreements with them. We do not allow them to use your data to market unrelated products to you on our behalf.
Public contract data we read comes from SAM.gov's official public API. That source is government-operated; we are not affiliated with SAM.gov or GSA.
4. Cookies and analytics
This website does not use analytics tools, and it does not set cookies of its own.
When you start a trial or manage billing, Stripe Checkout and the Stripe Customer Portal may set their own cookies or similar technology, which are governed by Stripe's privacy policy. When you fill in a signup or profile form, MailerLite may set their own cookies or similar technology through the embedded form, which are governed by MailerLite's privacy policy. Our hosting provider may also keep ordinary server logs (such as IP address and pages requested) for security and debugging.
If we later add analytics or other cookies, we will describe them in an update to this Policy.
5. How long we keep data
- Account and filter data: while your subscription is active, and for a reasonable period afterward so we can reopen an account or answer billing questions (typically up to 24 months unless you ask us to delete sooner where allowed).
- Payment records: retained by Stripe per their retention and legal requirements; we keep only what we need for accounting and disputes.
- Support emails: as long as needed to resolve the issue and for ordinary business records.
- Email marketing lists (if any): until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
6. Your choices: unsubscribe, cancel, delete
- Stop alert emails / cancel subscription: use the Stripe Customer Portal link in every email footer and on your account page. Cancellation steps are in our Cancellation guide. Cancelling during the 14-day free trial avoids the first charge. Cancelling on a paid plan stops future charges and stops alert delivery at period end.
- Unsubscribe from non-essential mail: every marketing email (if we send any) includes an unsubscribe link, consistent with CAN-SPAM.
- Transactional mail (receipts, cancellation confirmations, password resets) may still be sent when needed to operate your account.
- Delete your personal data: email support@noticenudge.com with the address on your account and ask for deletion. We will delete or anonymize what we control, except records we must keep for law, accounting, or fraud prevention. Stripe and MailerLite may retain copies under their own legal duties; we will pass on deletion requests where required.
7. Email (CAN-SPAM) and optional SMS (TCPA)
Email. Commercial emails we send identify us, include a valid physical or contact path, and provide a working unsubscribe mechanism. Alert and billing emails are transactional or relationship messages tied to your subscription.
SMS (optional). Email is the primary delivery channel. If we later offer text alerts:
- We will only text you if you give prior express consent (for example by checking an opt-in box and confirming your number).
- Message frequency depends on matching notices; message and data rates may apply.
- Reply STOP to opt out; reply HELP for help. Consent to SMS is not a condition of purchasing the Service.
- This section is intended to support compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and related rules; final wording should be reviewed by counsel before any SMS launch.
8. California-style privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA summary)
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect, use, and share
- Delete personal information we hold about you (with legal exceptions)
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Opt out of sale or sharing of personal information — we do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising
- Non-discrimination for exercising these rights
To exercise these rights, email support@noticenudge.com. We may need to verify your identity (for example by confirming control of the account email). Authorized agents may submit requests as allowed by law.
Residents of other states with similar privacy laws may contact us at the same address; we will honor applicable rights.
9. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards (including relying on Stripe and MailerLite's security for payments and email). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Please use a strong, unique password for your account.
10. Children
The Service is for business users and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 (or under 13 where that is the applicable standard).
11. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date will change, and for material updates we will notify you by email or a notice on the site. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Policy.
