Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 24, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how gather.buzz ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and shares information in connection with your use of our application (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us:

  • Account Information: When you register, we collect your email address. During onboarding, we may collect your full name, organization name, organization type, and website.
  • Talent Information: We collect the names and social media handles/URLs for the talent profiles you choose to track.
  • User Content: We collect any images you upload as avatars for talents or profiles.
  • Billing Information: We do not directly store your payment information. Our payment processor, Stripe, collects this information on our behalf. We only store a record of the subscription and the Stripe Customer ID.

Information We Collect Automatically:

  • Social Media Data: Our service automatically fetches public data about the social media profiles you track, including follower counts, historical performance, and public profile metadata. We use third-party services like EnsembleData and SocialBlade for this purpose.
  • Cookies: We use an authentication cookie (`gb_session`) to keep you logged into our Service.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Service (e.g., display dashboards, charts, and projections).
  • Process and manage your subscription and payments.
  • Communicate with you, including sending service-related emails and, with your consent, marketing communications.
  • Improve and personalize the Service.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the Service. These include:

  • Cloud infrastructure providers (for hosting, database, and storage services).
  • Payment processors (to manage subscriptions and billing).
  • Email delivery services (to send login codes and system emails).
  • Social analytics services (to fetch public profile data you request).

All providers are bound by contractual data protection obligations, and data is only shared to provide the Service to you.

4. Data Security and Retention

We implement security measures to protect your information. We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. Data retention for historical analytics is dependent on your subscription plan.

5. Your Rights

You can review and update your personal and organizational information at any time in the "Settings" section of the Service. You can also delete talents, profiles, or your entire organization as described in our service documentation.
