Privacy Policy

Our privacy policy is designed to help you understand more about the information you provide to us or that is collected by us and how we use and disclose it. It explains the privacy practices for visitors to cookbuzz.com (“website”). By using our website, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this policy.

Types of information we collect

• Personal Information to specifically identify an individual, such as a customer’s name, address, telephone number or email address. It also includes demographic information, such as date of birth, gender, geographic area, and preferences, when such information is linked to other personal information that identifies the individual. This information will be encrypted and hashed to avoid any form of data extraction and/or potential exposure in case of a data breach. Should any breach occur, you will immediately be informed as such by us.
• Aggregate Information that we collect about a group or category of products, services or customers, from which individual customer identities have been removed. In other words, information about how you use a service might be collected and combined with information about how others use the same service, but no personal information will be included in the resulting data.

How we collect and use personal information

We collect personal information from you at several different points on our website. In general, we use personal information for the purpose for which it was collected (such as to provide services, and to anticipate and resolve problems with our website and our products and services); for our own internal business operations; to respond to customer support inquiries; and for other purposes as described below. All personal information collected will be encrypted and stored only until such times as you no longer have any agreement, contract or subscription with us.
