Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 7, 2026

Buzaar ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Buzaar mobile application. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information We Collect

• Account information: email address, display name, and handle when you register.
• Profile information: optional avatar color, location (city), Instagram and Facebook handles you choose to add.
• Content you post: chase listings, offers, in-app chat messages, and inbox threads.
• Photos: images you upload for chase listings and your profile, stored in Supabase Storage.
• Keyword alerts: search terms you set up to be notified when matching chases are posted.
• Device location: approximate location (with your permission) to show nearby events. Never stored on our servers.
• Push token: an Expo push token to send you notifications about your chases and offers.
• Subscription data: your current subscription plan (Collector+ or Organizer+), subscription expiry date, and the store product ID associated with your purchase. This is received from RevenueCat after a successful in-app purchase and stored in our database to determine which features you can access.
• Purchase history: a log of subscription tier changes (upgrades, renewals, cancellations, and refunds) is retained for billing integrity and dispute resolution. This log does not contain payment card details.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To operate the app — matching collectors with sellers at events.
• To send push notifications about offer activity on your bounties.
• To display your public profile to other Buzaar users.
• To enforce our community guidelines and prevent abuse.
• To verify your subscription status and unlock premium features you have paid for.
• To reconcile subscription state with RevenueCat in case a renewal or cancellation event was missed, ensuring your access is always accurate.

3. Data Storage

Your data is stored on Supabase servers. We do not sell your personal information. Limited device identifiers may be shared with our advertising partner (Google AdMob) if you consent to personalized advertising — see Section 6 below.

4. Photos

Photos you upload are stored in a public Supabase Storage bucket and are accessible via URL. Do not upload photos containing sensitive personal information.

5. Third-Party Services

• Supabase — database and authentication (privacy policy)
• Expo — push notification delivery (privacy policy)
• Google Maps — event venue maps (privacy policy)
• RevenueCat — subscription and in-app purchase management. RevenueCat receives your app user ID and purchase receipts from Apple or Google to verify and manage your subscription. We do not share your name, email, or personal profile with RevenueCat — only your anonymous app user ID. (privacy policy)
• Apple App Store / Google Play — payment processing for subscriptions and credit purchases. All payment card data is handled entirely by Apple or Google. Buzaar never sees or stores your payment details. See Apple's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google AdMob — in-app advertising (privacy policy). See Section 6 below for full details.

6. Advertising

Buzaar displays ads provided by Google AdMob. To serve ads, AdMob may collect and use:

• Your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, AAID on Android)
• Approximate location (country or region level)
• App usage signals and interactions with ads

Personalized vs. non-personalized ads: If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we will ask for your consent before showing you personalized ads. If you do not consent — or choose "Do not consent" — you will still see ads, but they will not be tailored to your interests. You can review or change your choice at any time via Settings in the app.

We do not share your name, email address, chat messages, or profile content with AdMob. Only device-level identifiers and standard usage signals are used for ad delivery.

You can also opt out of ad tracking at the device level: on iOS go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking and disable tracking for Buzaar, and on Android go to Settings > Google > Ads. For more on how Google uses data from apps that use its services, see Google's partner data policy.

7. Your Rights

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us. You can also update your profile information from within the app.

8. Children

Buzaar is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. We will notify you of significant changes via the app or email.
