It can be, if you check two things first: what the tender documents allow, and what the tool does with your files. Some tenders restrict who the documents can be shared with, so read the confidentiality terms. Then ask any AI tool whether your files train its models, who can see them, how they're protected, and whether you can delete them.
The instructions to bidders and the front-end specs sometimes restrict sharing the documents, especially for security-sensitive buildings such as correctional facilities, data centers and utility sites. If they do, ask the owner or the GC before uploading the documents anywhere, including to a cloud estimating tool.
Then ask any AI tool these questions
Are my documents or my prices used to train AI models, the tool's own or its AI provider's?
Who can see my projects: only my account, people I add, or the vendor's staff?
Are files encrypted in transit and at rest?
Can I delete a project, and my whole account, myself?
Which AI providers process my files, and under what terms?
What happens to my files if I stop paying?
Questions estimators ask
Does Bidprobe use my bid documents to train AI?
No. Bidprobe's AI providers do not train their models on customer data, and your bid documents and prices are not used to train AI.
Who can see my reviews on Bidprobe?
Only your account and the people you invite to it. Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. You can delete a project or your whole account at any time.
