Privacy Policy
Last updated November 10, 2026
Buzz for Biz hosts promotional campaigns for businesses. This policy explains how we handle personal information when you visit the site, contact us, manage a business account, enter a campaign, or vote. The business identified on a campaign runs that promotion. Its official rules and any privacy notice explain how it uses the information it receives.
Information we handle
- Accounts and support. We use account email, business and profile information, and sign-in records to verify accounts, manage team access, operate the platform, and respond to inquiries. We use the details you provide through our Contact form to respond and keep a record of your request.
- Campaign entries. Depending on the campaign, we handle contact details, public nicknames, community information, submitted photos, and other fields shown on the entry form. We use these to administer entries, help the organizer review submissions, and contact participants. Approved photos and designated public details can appear on campaign pages and in previews on social platforms. A shared image or preview may remain available through third parties after the original is removed.
- Votes and site activity. We use email verification and voting records to verify ballots and reduce abuse. Session cookies support sign-in and form security. We may record technical information, referrals, and campaign interactions to protect the service and report campaign activity.
- Billing. When a paid plan is offered, Stripe processes checkout and payment details. We use customer and subscription records from Stripe to manage access, track payments, and provide billing support.
Who may receive information
Authorized organizers and team members can access information needed to administer their campaigns. Service providers help with hosting, email delivery, spam protection, and billing. When enabled, Cloudflare Turnstile checks for automated submissions. We may disclose information where authorized or required by law. Social platforms you use to share a link and external websites you visit apply their own privacy practices.
Retention and safeguards
We restrict access to private account and campaign information. We retain personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described here, including administration, security, disputes, and legal or accounting obligations. When required by applicable law, we retain personal information used to make a decision that directly affects you for at least one year after the decision. We delete or de-identify personal information when it is no longer needed, subject to applicable retention requirements.
Privacy requests
Use our Contact form and put “Privacy” in the subject to reach the person responsible for privacy at Buzz for Biz. You can ask about how we handle your information, request access or correction, or raise a concern. We may verify your identity before responding. If your concern is about how a sponsoring business handles information it received, you can also contact the organizer named on that campaign.
