Privacy & professional disclaimer
Proposal work touches sensitive business and government information. This page sets clear expectations before anyone sends files, claims victory, or attaches the entire bid folder to an email like a brave little meteor.
Effective August 2, 2026
We collect information you choose to provide through the opportunity intake or proposal readiness pre-review, such as your name, work contact details, company, role, certification status, public opportunity details, pursuit timing, support interest, and readiness responses. Public-opportunity searches may send the search terms needed to retrieve results from government data sources. Do not enter protected or sensitive information into those tools.
Information is used to deliver requested tools, respond to inquiries, understand service needs, protect forms from abuse, and improve the usefulness of the website. Sarus Strategy does not sell submitted lead information or use it to create advertising profiles. The site does not currently use third-party advertising pixels.
Sarus Strategy provides proposal development support, strategic guidance, review support, and related advisory services. We do not guarantee contract awards, specific evaluation ratings, protest outcomes, revenue, shortlist status, or a particular probability of win. Award decisions remain with the government customer and depend on many factors outside any consultant's control.
Do not send classified information, controlled unclassified information (CUI), export-controlled information, source selection information, procurement-sensitive information, personally identifiable information, proprietary third-party data, or other protected material by email or through any unsecured channel. Any work involving protected data requires an approved secure channel, appropriate access authorization, and written handling procedures before material is shared.
When you submit an opportunity intake or save a proposal readiness pre-review, Sarus Strategy may collect your work contact details, company, role, certification status, public opportunity details, high-level pursuit timing, support interest, and readiness responses. Do not include protected opportunity details or documents. These high-level prospect records are retained for up to 90 days and then deleted through a scheduled cleanup process. One-way hashed abuse-prevention counters may be retained for up to 24 hours; raw IP addresses are not stored in those counters.
Saved opportunity-intake and proposal-readiness prospect records are scheduled for deletion after 90 days. Short-lived one-way hashed abuse-prevention counters may remain for up to 24 hours. Agreements, invoices, payment records, correspondence, and records connected to an active or legally required business matter may be retained longer when reasonably necessary. You may request correction or deletion of information you submitted, subject to legal and operational requirements.
The public website does not collect card details, bank credentials, electronic signatures, or client file uploads. If an engagement proceeds, those activities are handled through identified invitation-only providers and written service terms. Their privacy and security terms also apply. Agreement, billing, tax, and active-client records may follow legal, accounting, and contractual retention requirements rather than the 90-day prospect-retention period.
The website uses service providers for hosting, security, public-data retrieval, and site operations. Those providers may process technical request information needed to deliver and protect the service. Sarus Strategy uses reasonable safeguards, but no website, email system, or transmission method can be promised to be completely secure.
Clients remain responsible for the accuracy, completeness, authorization, and submission of proposal materials. Clients are also responsible for confirming that all claims, representations, certifications, past performance references, pricing inputs, and compliance statements are truthful and supportable.
Sarus Strategy does not provide legal advice, accounting advice, cybersecurity certification, CMMC assessment services, or official procurement-integrity determinations. For those matters, consult qualified counsel, accountants, assessors, security professionals, contracting officers, or other authorized advisors.
Before the first request
A safe first note can include the agency, opportunity name or public link, due date, general scope, company role, certification status, and what kind of support you need. If the opportunity involves protected data, say that plainly and we will discuss the right handling path before any material is transmitted.
