Privacy policy
This policy describes how Public Tenders uses personal data if you ask to join the weekly digest. This website does not have a sign-up form and does not collect addresses through the page itself. If you email us to request the free trial, we will use that address as set out below.
Last updated: 14 November 2026.
Who is responsible
The data controller is JMD Investment Holdings Limited, company number 10129885, registered office 27 Old Gloucester Street, London WC1N 3AX. Contact: hello@thistledowntales.com.
If you have a question or want to exercise your rights, write to that email address or to the registered office.
What we will collect
- Your email address, when you ask to join the digest (for now, by emailing us to request the free trial).
- The trade list you choose, if we offer more than one. The first list is IT and software services; a cleaning and facilities list is coming soon.
- A record of your request, and the time you made it.
- Basic delivery data from the email platform, such as whether a message bounced or you unsubscribed, once that platform is in use.
This website does not use advertising cookies or analytics cookies. If that changes, we will say so here first.
Why we will use it
We will use your email address to send you the weekly tender digest you asked for, and rare service messages about the list itself (for example a price change, a pause, or a closure of the service).
The lawful basis is consent, under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). You can withdraw consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link on any email, or by writing to us.
We will not sell your address, rent it, or use it to market anyone else’s products.
Who will see it
Your address will be stored with our email platform and, if we take paid subscriptions later, our payment provider, both of which we will name here before they go live. Those providers will only process the data on our instructions and will not be allowed to use it for their own marketing.
We may also have to share data if the law requires it.
If a provider stores data outside the UK, we will only do so with an appropriate transfer safeguard and we will say so here.
How long we will keep it
We will keep your address for as long as you stay on the list. If you unsubscribe, we will remove you from marketing sends promptly and keep a minimal suppression record so we do not email you again by mistake.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct or erase your data, to restrict or object to certain processing, and to data portability, as set out in UK GDPR. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time, and to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Children
This service is intended for adults acting in the course of a business. Please do not sign up if you are under 18.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects you, we will update this page and, where the change is material, email the list.
