Privacy Policy

Buzz2Serv, LLC. and its affiliates (collectively "Buzz2Serv," "we," "our," or "us") value your privacy. In this Privacy Policy ("Policy"), we describe the information we collect, how we use it, and when and to whom we disclose it. This Policy applies to all of our websites, mobile applications, and other online services (collectively, the "Platform") made available by or through Buzz2Serv and on which we post this Policy, including through our URL www.Buzz2Serv.com and www.setter.com, and to information we collect offline or through other means. Undefined capitalized terms used herein shall have the definitions as set forth in our Terms of Use. By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to this Policy.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

How we collect and store information depends on how you access and use the Platform. We collect information in multiple ways including when you provide information directly to us, when we collect information from affiliates and non-affiliated sources, and when we passively collect information from you, such as information collected from your browser or device.

Information You Provide Directly to Us

You may provide us with information about you when you use or access the Platform, such as when you register for an account; participate in polls or surveys; enroll for electronic newsletters; request a quote or other information; submit or respond to a quote; make a purchase; fill out any forms; enter a sweepstakes or contest, or register for a promotion; transmit User Content; download or use one of our mobile applications; you consent to our collection of information, such as when you grant us permission to collect your device’s contact list; or otherwise communicate with us or other Users through the Platform. This list is illustrative, not exhaustive; this Policy applies to all your uses of the Platform.

The personal information you provide directly to us may include, but is not limited to: (a) name; (b) zip code; (c) email address; (d) home or business telephone number; (e) home, business or mailing address; (f) demographic information (e.g., gender, age, and other information relevant to User surveys and/or offers); (g) date of birth and/or age verification; (h) insurance information (if you are a Service Professional); (i) photographs and/or video files or audio files (e.g., customer service call recordings); (j) information about your project, home, request or need; (k) in certain circumstances, payment information; (l) if you are a Service Professional, in certain circumstances, identity verification information (such as Social Security number or driver’s license information); and/or (m) any other information you include in communications with other Users through the Platform or communications with us. It may also include your information specific to the services you are requesting or offering through the Platform, such as a business name, service description, qualifications and credentials. You are not required to provide us with such information, but certain features of the Platform may not be accessible or available, absent the provision of the requested information.

We utilize a third-party payment provider to process payment information (e.g., credit card information or bank account information).

Information from Affiliates, Social Networking Sites, and Other Non-Affiliated Sources

We may collect information about you through Buzz2Serv affiliates or through non-affiliated sources, including public information sources. For example:

Please note that we have no control over how any third-party site uses or discloses the information it collects about you.

Information That Is Passively or Automatically Collected

Device/Usage Information. We and certain third-party vendors, including ad networks and analytics providers, may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to collect information about the computers or devices (including mobile devices) you use to access the Platform. As described further below, we and these third-party vendors may collect and analyze information including but not limited to (a) browser type; (b) ISP or operating system; (c) domain name; (d) access time; (e) referring or exit pages; (f) page views; (g) IP address; (h) unique device identifiers (e.g. IDFA or Android ID); and (i) the type of device that you use. We may also track and record when and how frequently you access or use the Platform, or how you browse the Platform. We do not, however, collect keystroke information. We use this information (including the information collected by relevant third-party vendors) for Platform analytics (including to determine which portions of the Platform are used most frequently and what our Users like/do not like), to assist in determining relevant advertising (both on and off the Platform), to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns, and as otherwise described in this Policy.

Location Information. When you use the Platform, we may collect general location information (such as your location as derived from your IP address). If you install our mobile app, depending on your device settings and any permissions you have granted, we may collect information about your precise geolocation, and we may use that information to improve the Platform, including providing you with location-based features (e.g., for identification of Pro Services available near you). To deliver customized content and advertising, we may disclose your location information to our agents, vendors, or advertisers. If you access the Platform through a mobile device and you do not want your device to provide us with location-tracking information, you may be able to disable the GPS or other location-tracking functions on your device. See your device manufacturer's instructions for further details. If you disable certain functions, you may be unable to use certain parts of the Platform.

Cookies and Other Electronic Technologies. We and our third-party vendors may use cookies, clear GIFs, pixel tags, and other technologies that help us better understand User behavior, personalize preferences, perform research and analytics, and improve the Platform. These technologies, for example, may allow us to tailor the Platform to your needs, save your password in password-protected areas, track the pages you visit, help us manage content, and compile statistics about Platform usage. We also use certain of these technologies to deliver advertisements through the Platform that may interest you or to advertise ourselves and the Platform to you on other sites. We or our third-party vendors also may use certain of these technologies in emails to our Users to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but your browser may allow you to modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you disable cookies, you may be prevented from taking full advantage of the Platform, because it may not function properly. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional information through other methods.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We may use your information for any of the following reasons:

For Service Professionals, we may display information related to your business, including your name or your business’s name, publicly on your profile, except to the extent we tell you we will not display such information. If the information you provide us upon signing up for an account differs from the information you provide us as part of the verification data we collect, we have sole discretion in determining which information will be displayed publicly on your profile.

We may combine information that we collect from you through the Platform with information that we obtain from affiliated and non-affiliated sources, and information derived from any other products or services we provide. We may aggregate and/or de-identify information we collect. We may use de-identified or aggregated information for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes and may also disclose such information to any third parties, including without limitation, advertisers, promotional partners, sponsors, event promoters, and/or others.

We may, either directly or through third-party providers we engage to provide services to us, review, scan, or analyze your communications with other Users exchanged via the Platform or as otherwise described in this Policy for fraud prevention, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, investigation, product development, research and User support purposes. For example, as part of our fraud prevention efforts, we may scan and analyze messages to prevent fraud or improper actions. We may also scan, review or analyze messages for research and product development purposes, as well as to debug, improve and expand product offerings. By using the Platform or engaging in off-Platform communications tracked by Buzz2Serv, you consent that Buzz2Serv, in its sole discretion, may, either directly or through third-parties we engage to provide services to us, review, scan, analyze, and store your communications, whether done manually or through automated means.

HOW WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

Unless otherwise described in this Policy, we may also disclose the information that we collect as follows:

You may post Content on or through our Platform, including, but not limited to, your comments, pictures, Service Professional profile, and other information. However, please be careful and responsible whenever you are online. Some information you provide and/or that we collect may be publicly accessible. For instance, registration for an account requires that you provide us with your name. If you register through Facebook, the Platform will use the name associated with your Facebook account. Your name (full name, or in some instances, your first name and last initial) may be visible to other Users. Depending on the circumstances, your name may be attached to your Content or information, such as scheduling of Pro Services, service requests, reviews, participating in discussions or forums, messaging, and profile information. Certain other people, including other Users with whom you have interacted via the Platform, may see information about you that is attached to your name. For example (but without limitation), if you are a Consumer seeking Pro Services, the description you provide of your desired services, along with your name, will be shown to some Service Professionals registered in the relevant category along with your name. Thus, other Users may be able to personally identify you based on Content you provide. Similarly, certain information we collect, including but not limited to when you last accessed the Platform, may be disclosed to other Users with whom you are interacting or otherwise made public.

If you choose to post User Content on or through the Platform, such as through User-to-User messaging or through our review boards, forums, blogs, or other postings, that information: (a) may be or may become publicly available; (b) may be collected and used by third-parties with or without our knowledge; and (c) may be used by third parties (including other Users) in a manner that may violate this Policy or applicable law.

ONLINE ANALYTICS AND TAILORED ADVERTISING

Analytics

We may use third-party web analytics services on the Platform, such as those of Google Analytics. Providers of these services use cookies and similar technologies (as described in the Information That Is Passively or Automatically Collected section above) to help us analyze how Users use the Platform, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information collected by the technology may be disclosed to or collected directly by these providers. We may also use Google Analytics; to prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

Tailored Advertising

We may use advertising services provided by third parties on the Platform, which provide their services using cookies and similar technologies (as described in the Information That Is Passively or Automatically Collected section above). Third parties whose products or services are accessible or marketed via the Platform may also place such technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about your use of the Platform. We, our providers, and third parties collect information in this way for advertising and marketing purposes.

Certain third-party providers and certain cookies or similar technologies on the Platform enable us and third parties to serve you “tailored” advertising online that is more relevant to you and your interests. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative's Consumer Opt-Out Link and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance's Consumer Opt-Out Link to opt out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising or customize Google Display Network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. We do not control any of these opt-out mechanisms and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. If your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your NAI or DAA opt-out may no longer be effective. Additional information is available on NAI's and DAA's websites.

Please note that if you opt out of tailored advertising, you may still receive online advertisements about us, the Platform, or third parties on the Platform – however, such advertising is not tailored.

When using a mobile application, you may also receive tailored in-application advertising. Each operating system (e.g., iOS for Apple devices, Android for Android devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices) provides its own instructions on how to prevent use of your mobile advertising identifier to deliver tailored in-application advertising. For more information, you may review the support materials and/or the privacy settings for the operating systems and devices you use, or contact the applicable provider/operator.

PRIVACY OF MINORS

Our services are not provided to minors (i.e., persons under the age of 18). We elect to provide services only to persons 18 years of age or older, including any use of the Platform. If we discover, or if you inform us, that an individual under 18 has provided us with personal information, we will close the account and delete that individual’s personal information as required by law, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. We may, where permitted by law, retain certain information internally for purposes described in this Policy.

SECURITY

We employ physical, procedural, and technological security measures to help protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. Buzz2Serv may use encryption, passwords, and physical security measures to help protect your information against unauthorized access and disclosure. No security measures, however, are 100% failsafe. Therefore, we do not promise and cannot guarantee, and thus you should not expect, that any information provided or transmitted online is completely secure. You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, keeping your log-in and password private, and not recycling passwords from other websites or accounts. Buzz2Serv is not responsible for the unauthorized use of your information nor for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords, or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

LINKS TO EXTERNAL PLATFORMS

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources over which Buzz2Serv does not have any control; please review such other websites’ privacy policies as to their use of personal information. Such links do not constitute an endorsement by Buzz2Serv of those third-party websites. You acknowledge that Buzz2Serv is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and further agree that Buzz2Serv is not responsible in any way for such third-party websites, including without limitation for their content or how they treat information you provide to them.

YOUR CHOICES

You may review, correct, and delete certain information about you through your account, such as by logging in to the Platform and navigating to your preferences page in "Your Dashboard." We expect you to promptly update your account information if it changes or is inaccurate. Upon your request, we will close your account and remove your profile information from view as soon as reasonably possible. We may retain information from closed accounts in order to comply with the law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations of any User, enforce our Terms of Use, and/or for any other purposes otherwise permitted by law that we deem necessary in our sole discretion. You should understand, however, that once you transmit User Content through the Platform, it may be acquired by others who may not be required to delete or modify such User Content. Once we have deactivated or removed your account, you agree that Buzz2Serv will not be responsible for retaining information related to your account.

We may send periodic emails to you. You may opt out of promotional emails by following the opt-out instructions contained in the email. Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for us to process opt-out requests. If you opt out of receiving promotional emails, we may still send you emails about your account or any services you have requested or received from us, transactions, or changes to our Terms of Use, this Policy, or other relevant terms.

We may monitor and record our telephone conversations with you for training and quality assurance purposes. You will be provided with a notice at the beginning of any call that is being recorded.

If you are a resident of certain states, you may have certain rights regarding your information.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

THIS POLICY IS CURRENT AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE SET FORTH ABOVE. BUZZ2SERV MAY, IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, CHANGE THIS POLICY AT ANY TIME. BUZZ2SERV WILL POST ITS UPDATED POLICY ON THE PLATFORM, SEND YOU A MESSAGE OR OTHERWISE NOTIFY YOU WHEN YOU ARE LOGGED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. BUZZ2SERV ENCOURAGES YOU TO REVIEW THIS POLICY REGULARLY FOR ANY CHANGES. YOUR CONTINUED ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE PLATFORM WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE THEN-CURRENT POLICY.

CONSENT TO TRANSFER

Our computer systems are currently based in the United States and Canada, so your information will be processed by us in the United States and Canada, where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in your country of residence and data may be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities under certain circumstances. If you create an account with the Platform as a visitor from outside the United States, by using the Platform, you agree to this Policy and you consent to the processing of all such information in the United States and Canada.

CONTACT US

If you have any questions about this Policy or the Platform, please contact us by sending an email to support@Buzz2Serv.com, or by writing to: Buzz2Serv, LLC, 555 North Point Center East 4th floor, Alpharetta, GA, USA.

SUPPLEMENTAL PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

This Supplemental Privacy Notice for California Residents supplements the information in the Policy above, and except as provided herein, applies solely to California residents (as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended, the “CCPA”)). It applies to “personal information” (as defined by the CCPA) that we collect on or through the Platform and through other means (such as information collected offline, in person, and over the telephone). It does not apply to business information that does not constitute personal information we collect from Service Professionals in their capacity as Service Professionals. This Supplemental Privacy Notice for California Residents also does not apply to current or former employees of Buzz2Serv, Inc., independent contractors, or job applicants to jobs at Buzz2Serv, Inc.

How We Collect, Use, and Disclose Personal Information

The CCPA requires us to disclose information regarding the categories of personal information and sensitive personal information that we have collected about California consumers, the categories of sources from which we collect personal information, the business or commercial purposes (as each of those terms is defined by the CCPA) for which we collect personal information, and the categories of parties to whom we disclose personal information.

Throughout this Policy, we describe the specific pieces of personal information and sensitive personal information we collect, the sources of that information, and how we disclose it. Under the CCPA, we also have to provide you with the "categories" of personal information and sensitive personal information we collect and disclose for “business or commercial purposes” (as those terms are defined by the CCPA).

As described further in the Policy above, the following table provides information about our practices in the 12 months leading up to the effective date of this Policy in relation to the categories of personal information that we generally collect from California and Colorado residents, the sources of the information, the purposes for which we use the information, and the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information for a business purpose.

For legal/safety purposes

Some of the categories of personal information described above are also “sensitive personal information,” as that term is defined in the CCPA. The sensitive personal information we may have collected in the preceding twelve months are: (1) account log-in and password or other credentials allowing access to your account; (2) certain user-to-user communications made through our Platform, including Member-to-Member text messages; (3) precise geolocation; (4) Social Security number; and (5) driver’s license number. The CCPA provides you with the right to limit certain uses and disclosures of your sensitive personal information. You may limit the use of precise geolocation for advertising purposes by opting out of the “sale” or “sharing” of such information, as discussed below. We do not use or disclose any other sensitive personal information for purposes that are subject to the right to limit.

We may combine the information we collect (“aggregate”) or remove pieces of information (“de-identify”) to limit or prevent identification of any particular User or device. We may use or disclose this aggregated or de-identified information in our discretion.

Your CCPA Rights

If you are a California resident (as defined by the CCPA), you may have the right to request that we:

You may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any. You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in California law) for exercising certain of your rights referenced herein. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. In addition, we need certain types of information so that we can provide our services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use our services.

To exercise any of these rights, you may submit a request at dataprivacy@Buzz2Serv.com or visithttps://help.Buzz2Serv.com/data-privacy. You will be required to verify your identity before we are able to fulfill your request, for instance by logging into the Buzz2Serv platform. You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You may still need to verify your identity directly with us.

You also have the right to opt out of “sales” and “sharing” of your personal information as described below.

“Sales” of personal information. Buzz2Serv may disclose certain identifiers (like IP address and email address), internet or other electronic network activity information (like information regarding an individual’s browsing interactions on the Platform), and commercial information (like the fact that a browser visited a page with home improvement tips) to certain analytics, advertising, and marketing providers in ways that may be considered “sales” under the CCPA. Buzz2Serv also discloses Consumers’ identifiers (like name) and general location information (like zip code) to select Service Professionals to better enable those Consumers to find a Service Professional who can provide a service the Consumer has expressed interest in. Under the CCPA, these may be considered “sales” of your personal information.

“Sharing” personal information. Under the CCPA, “sharing” is defined as the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on that consumer’s personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across websites. We “share” information for these purposes to provide more relevant and tailored advertising to you regarding our Platform. As part of this advertising, we may “share” certain identifiers (like IP address and email address), internet or other electronic network activity information (like information regarding an individual’s browsing interactions on the Platform), and commercial information (like the fact that a browser visited a page with home improvement tips) with advertising platforms and advertising networks.

To opt out of our “sale” and “sharing” of your personal information as described above, you may follow the instructions on our “sale” and “sharing” opt-out page here.

Please note that we also respond to and abide by opt-out preference signals sent through the Global Privacy Control. Any opt-out preferences you have exercised through these methods will only apply to the specific device/browser on which you made them. For more information on how to use the Global Privacy Control, see https://globalprivacycontrol.org.

Retention of Your Personal Information

We will retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Platform and our services or until you delete or modify your information. We also reserve the right to retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need certain types of information so that we can provide the Platform to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Platform.

To exercise any of these rights, you may submit a request at dataprivacy@Buzz2Serv.com or visithttps://help.Buzz2Serv.com/data-privacy You will be required to verify your identity before we fulfill your request.

Applicable law may also permit you to appeal any denials of your rights requests; to do so, contact us at support@buzz2serv.com and describe in detail why you believe the denial was in error. Your description must include your full name and the email address used for your account with us, along with a copy of the denial notice you received from us.
