Privacy Policy

Account information

When you create or use a Buzlee account, we collect your account email, account role (resident or business), the sign-in method you used (email and password, Sign in with Apple, or Sign in with Google), authentication identifiers from those providers where applicable, and account settings such as your notification preferences.

Resident profile information

If you use Buzlee as a resident, we may collect your first and last name, home town, an optional contact email you share with businesses you subscribe to (commonly used when you sign in with Apple's private email relay), the flyers you save, the businesses you subscribe to, your notification preferences, and your interactions with flyers and business updates (such as saves, shares, and check-ins).

Business profile information

If you use Buzlee as a business, we may collect your business name, the contact first and last name you provide during onboarding, your business email, phone number, website, description, category, business address (which we geocode to coordinates), town, social profile links for Facebook, Instagram, Yelp, and Google Business, logo and cover photo, application and account status (such as pending, approved, or rejected), and any review notes associated with your application.

Flyer, event, and content information

When businesses create flyers or post updates, we collect the flyer's title and description, image or PDF media, an optional cover photo, event start and optional end dates and times, recurrence rules (such as daily, weekly with selected days, or monthly), category and up to five tags, any age restriction, the event's location address and optional location name, an optional external link, the flyer's status (such as draft, live, expired, or archived), and posts shared with subscribers.

Location information

With your permission, Buzlee uses your device location to show nearby flyers, events, and businesses in the Feed and on the map. Business addresses provided by businesses are geocoded so flyers and businesses can appear in location-based search and on the map. You can enable or disable device location access at any time through your device settings.

Usage and analytics information

We collect information about how Buzlee is used, including flyer views, saves, shares, check-ins, subscription activity, notification delivery and open status, app performance, device type, operating system, log data, and error reports.

Analytics and crash reporting providers

We use PostHog for product analytics and session replay. When you are signed in, we identify you to PostHog using your account email, name, and account role so that usage events can be associated with your account. PostHog session replay records your interactions with the app, the layout of screens you visit, console logs, and network activity. Both text input fields and images are masked in session replays, so the text you type (such as passwords, search queries, or messages) and the images displayed on screen (such as flyer media, logos, or cover photos) are not captured. PostHog data is processed in the United States.

We use Sentry for crash reporting and performance monitoring. Sentry receives error details, stack traces, device information, and performance traces for a portion of app activity so we can diagnose and fix issues. Sentry is configured to omit default user-identifying information (such as IP address) from error events, and we do not attach your account identifiers to Sentry reports.

Device identifiers and push tokens

To deliver the app and notifications, we collect device-level identifiers such as a device or installation identifier and, when you enable push notifications, a push notification token issued by Apple Push Notification service or Firebase Cloud Messaging. We use these identifiers to send notifications to your device, to associate sessions with your account, and to investigate performance and security issues.

Communications

If you contact Buzlee Support or receive transactional emails, we collect your email address, the content of your message, delivery status, and related support details.

Information we do not collect

Buzlee does not collect payment card numbers, financial account details, health or fitness data, your contacts, your photo or media library beyond the images and PDFs you choose to upload, or advertising identifiers (IDFA). Buzlee does not include third-party advertising.

With other Buzlee users

Approved business profiles, live flyers, event details, media, locations, and business posts are visible to residents in the Buzlee app. Your saved flyers, subscriptions, and notification settings are not shown to other users.

With businesses you subscribe to

When you subscribe to a business, that business may see basic subscription activity and, if you chose to share one, the contact email associated with your resident profile, so the business can communicate with you through Buzlee.

With service providers

We rely on trusted service providers to help operate Buzlee, including hosting, authentication, database, file storage, email delivery, push notifications, mapping and geocoding, and analytics providers. These providers may process information only as needed to provide services to Buzlee and are required by contract to provide the same or equivalent protection of your information as this Privacy Policy describes, and to use it only for the purposes we authorize.

For legal and safety reasons

We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or a government request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect users, Buzlee, or the public.

Business transfers

If Buzlee is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
