Privacy & anonymity
How we protect the data
Market insights are aggregates only. No competitor or buyer name is ever shown, and a cell is hidden unless it passes every rule below.
Minimum size per cell
A cell is shown only with at least 5 distinct buyers and 10 records; prices need at least 5 sellers, 3 buyers and 10 awarded lines.
Dominance rule
If one party is more than 50% of a cell, or the top two are more than 75%, the cell is hidden.
Roll-up
Thin cells roll up from city to region and from sub-category to the parent category.
Rounded counts
Counts under 50 are rounded to the nearest 5, so no single deal can be inferred.
You are not in your comparison
Your own company is excluded from what you are compared with, and demo / test accounts are excluded from every figure.
Fixed periods only
90 days, a month or a quarter — no custom windows that could be narrowed to reveal a deal.
Prices delayed 14 days
Awarded prices enter only after the award has been closed for at least 14 days, in line with the Saudi Competition Law.
Inside the Kingdom
Data is processed inside the platform database in Saudi Arabia, under the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).

Market insights — frequently asked questions
Can competitors see my company’s data?
No. Market insights are aggregates only and never show the name of any supplier or buyer. A cell is shown only with at least 5 distinct buyers and 10 records, it is hidden when one party (over 50%) or two parties (over 75%) dominate it, and counts under 50 are rounded to the nearest 5.
Where do the numbers come from?
From real platform activity, aggregated: requests for quotation, quotations, awards, tenders, labour and transport requests — with demo and test accounts excluded. Public indices are blended in with their source on every figure: the GASTAT Construction Cost Index and the monthly building-materials price bulletin.
Why are some regions or categories missing?
Because their data does not meet the minimum yet. We then roll them up — from city to region and from sub-category to the parent category. If that is still not enough, they stay hidden to protect privacy.
Why are awarded prices delayed by 14 days?
So prices cannot be used for real-time coordination between competitors, in line with the Saudi Competition Law. Only awards closed at least 14 days ago enter the benchmark, and it is shown as a range (lower quartile, median, upper quartile), never as the price of a single deal.
Are market insights part of the Complete plan?
No — they are a paid add-on above the Complete plan, included for sponsors. On Basic, Financial and Complete you get a monthly teaser card with one insight and the details hidden.
How do I subscribe?
In the dashboard: «Market insights», then «Request subscription» (account owner), and the Ataam team activates it after payment. The current price is shown in the subscription section above and on the plans page; prices exclude VAT.
How often is the data refreshed, and will I get alerts?
It is refreshed every night. You get at most one opportunity alert a week, plus a monthly email section summarising what changed.
How do branches and warehouses relate to market insights?
Adding branches and warehouses is free, and each branch joins request matching by its city and delivery area. When an expansion opportunity appears in a region you do not cover, you can add a branch or delivery area straight away. The free number is 1 on Basic, 3 on Financial and 10 on Complete, and unlimited for market-insights subscribers.
What do buyers see?
When comparing received quotations, each price can show an «Above market» or «Below market» badge when there is enough data for the item — without revealing any other supplier’s price.
