At Buzinessify, privacy is a core value, and we are committed to ensuring that the information you provide to us or generate through our tools is handled transparently, securely, and responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process, store, and share data, the purposes for which we use this data, the rights you have regarding your information, and the choices you can make about its use. It also details how we protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

This policy applies to all Buzinessify services, websites, platforms, and applications globally, including both free and paid products. Whether you are a visitor browsing our website, a registered user of our tools, a paying customer using premium features, or a business client using Service Data functionalities, this policy governs how your personal and service-related data is managed.

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulatory requirements, or business practices. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly. Significant changes that materially affect your rights or our practices will be communicated via email, platform notification, or website notice.

By using our services, you consent to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy and acknowledge that Buzinessify may process your data in accordance with the practices described herein. If you do not agree to this policy, please refrain from using our services or submitting personal information.

We recognize that privacy is not a one-size-fits-all matter. For this reason, this policy provides granular detail on the different types of data we collect, how each is used, the legal basis for processing, retention periods, international data transfers, and the rights you have under various global privacy regulations, including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and UAE law.

To provide clarity and avoid ambiguity, this section defines key terms used throughout this Privacy Policy. Understanding these terms is critical to fully comprehending how your data is handled.

Personal Data refers to any information that identifies or can reasonably be used to identify an individual. Examples include your name, email address, phone number, billing details, login credentials, IP address, or location information collected automatically. Personal Data is distinct from Service Data because it relates to you personally rather than the business content you manage in our tools.

Service Data refers to all information you upload, create, or store in Buzinessify tools, including customer lists, documents, campaigns, content, analytics, and other operational data. Service Data is fully owned by you. We act only as a processor of this data and do not use it for any purposes other than providing the service.

Controller vs. Processor – When we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data, Buzinessify acts as a Controller. When we process data on your behalf in accordance with your instructions, such as managing CRM records or email campaigns, we act as a Processor. Understanding this distinction is crucial, particularly for compliance with GDPR and other international regulations.

Third Parties are external service providers, partners, or vendors who help Buzinessify deliver services. These can include cloud providers, analytics platforms, payment gateways, email delivery services, and support ticketing systems. All third parties are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality of your data and protect it.

Processing is any operation performed on your data, including collection, recording, organization, storage, adaptation, retrieval, use, disclosure, or destruction.

By clearly defining these terms, we ensure that users, customers, and third parties can understand their rights and responsibilities when interacting with Buzinessify services.

Buzinessify collects a wide range of data to operate, improve, and secure our services effectively. Understanding the types of information we collect is essential for transparency and trust.

Information You Provide Directly – When you sign up for a Buzinessify account, request a demo, subscribe to a paid plan, submit a contact form, or communicate with support, we collect the information you provide. This may include your name, email address, phone number, company name, job role, billing and payment information, preferences, and other details necessary to provide and enhance our services.

Service Data – When using our tools, you may upload customer lists, product catalogs, campaign data, documents, content, analytics, and other business-related information. You retain full ownership of this data. We only store or process Service Data as necessary to provide our services, and it is never shared or sold for unrelated purposes.

Information Collected Automatically – As you interact with our services, we automatically collect technical and usage data to enhance the user experience and maintain security. This includes IP addresses, browser type and version, device type, operating system, feature usage logs, session durations, navigation patterns, and crash/error reports. This information allows us to detect issues, optimize performance, analyze trends, and prevent fraud.

Information from Third Parties – We may receive data from third parties, including social login providers, referral partners, resellers, or publicly available sources. This allows us to improve account verification, streamline integrations, and personalize your experience.

Sensitive Data – We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data such as health information, biometric data, national ID numbers (except where required by law), or data from minors under 16. Users are prohibited from uploading such sensitive data into our platform.

All collected information is used strictly for purposes described in this policy. By providing information to Buzinessify, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of your data as outlined here.

Buzinessify uses the information we collect to provide, enhance, and secure our services, ensure compliance with legal obligations, and maintain trust with our users. Understanding how we use your data helps you make informed decisions about your privacy and how you use our platform.

Service Delivery and Functionality – Your personal and service data is essential for the operation of Buzinessify tools. This includes enabling account creation, authentication, providing access to features, storing content, delivering updates, and maintaining consistent performance. For example, your CRM data is processed to ensure accurate reporting, automated workflows, and integration with third-party applications you choose to connect.

Communication and Notifications – We may use your data to send transactional messages, such as account alerts, system notifications, feature updates, security warnings, or subscription reminders. Marketing communications are only sent if you have opted in. These may include newsletters, promotional offers, or information about new products. You can unsubscribe or modify preferences at any time.

Product Improvement and Analytics – Automatically collected data, anonymized where possible, allows us to analyze usage patterns, identify feature adoption, detect issues, and improve the overall experience. By understanding how our users interact with tools, we can prioritize development efforts, optimize performance, and enhance usability.

Fraud Prevention and Security – We analyze activity patterns and technical data to identify unusual behavior, prevent unauthorized access, mitigate security risks, and detect potential fraud. This helps safeguard both your data and the integrity of our platform.

Compliance and Legal Obligations – Certain uses of data are necessary to comply with laws, regulations, audits, tax requirements, or contractual obligations. For instance, payment and billing information may be retained and processed to satisfy accounting and regulatory compliance requirements.

Other Operational Purposes – We may also use data for business planning, research, and reporting to better understand customer needs and trends. Importantly, Service Data is never sold or used for any purpose other than providing the Service.

All processing activities comply with the privacy laws applicable to your region, including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and UAE regulations. Transparency is central: you always maintain control over your data, and you can access, modify, or delete personal or service data in accordance with your rights.

Buzinessify processes personal and service data on multiple legal grounds, depending on the type of information, its purpose, and the user's location. Understanding these bases is critical for compliance with international privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA.

Contractual Necessity – Certain data processing is essential to fulfill our contract with you. Examples include processing billing information for paid subscriptions, maintaining your account, delivering services, or responding to support requests. Without this data, we cannot provide you with the core functionality of our tools.

Consent – For certain activities, we rely on your consent. This includes receiving marketing emails, subscribing to newsletters, or allowing cookies and analytics that are not strictly necessary for platform operation. Consent is freely given, specific, and revocable. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting services that rely on other legal grounds.

Legitimate Interests – Buzinessify may process data under legitimate interests to improve products, secure our systems, prevent fraud, or analyze trends. This ensures that services remain high-quality, safe, and user-friendly. Our processing is balanced against user rights, and we take precautions to minimize impact on privacy.

Legal Obligation – Some data must be processed to comply with laws or regulations, such as accounting requirements, tax reporting, financial audits, or responding to law enforcement requests. We retain this data only as long as legally required.

Region-Specific Regulations – Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) benefit from GDPR rights, while California residents have CCPA/CPRA rights. In the UAE, processing aligns with applicable local data protection regulations. Buzinessify ensures transparency and accountability across these jurisdictions.

By providing your data and interacting with our services, you acknowledge that Buzinessify may process your information on the following legal grounds. Our goal is always to provide value while respecting privacy and maintaining compliance.
