Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 6, 2025
1) Information we collect
We collect the following information when you use our site or join the waitlist:
- Contact details that you submit (e.g., name, email, industry of interest).
- Communications when you email us or reply to our messages.
- Device/usage data such as basic request logs for security and performance (IP address, user-agent, timestamps). We do not use invasive tracking.
If you choose to download a sample report or request access, we will ask for your email to deliver the content and follow up.
2) How we use information
- Provide and improve our services, including verified supplier directories and sample materials.
- Respond to inquiries and send service & product communications (e.g., early access invitations).
- Maintain site reliability, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.
- With your consent, send occasional updates and offers. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in our emails or by contacting us.
3) Legal bases (EEA/UK)
Where GDPR applies, we process personal data under these bases:
- Consent (e.g., marketing emails).
- Contract (e.g., providing requested early access information).
- Legitimate interests (e.g., site security, product development), balanced against your rights.
- Legal obligation when required.
4) Sharing & processors
We do not sell personal information. We share it only with:
- Service providers who process data on our behalf (e.g., form processing and email delivery). For example, if you submit the waitlist form, your data is transmitted to our chosen form processor to route the message to us.
- Professional advisors (legal, accounting) under confidentiality.
- Authorities when required by law.
Service providers are bound by agreements to use your data only for our instructions and to protect it appropriately.
5) Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, then delete or anonymize it. For example, waitlist records are retained while we assess and invite users to early access, or until you ask us to delete them.
6) Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Port your data.
- Withdraw consent at any time (for consent‑based processing).
To exercise these rights, email us at support@buckidea.com. We may need to verify your identity to process requests.
7) Cookies & similar technologies
We aim to minimize tracking. If we later add analytics or preference cookies, we will update this Policy and (where required) request consent. You can manage cookies via your browser settings.
8) Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If we detect a breach that affects your data, we will notify you and regulators as required by law.
9) Children
Our services are not directed to children under 16. If you believe a child provided personal data, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
10) International data transfers
We are based in the United States and may process data in jurisdictions outside your own. Where applicable, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., contractual clauses) for cross‑border transfers.
11) Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
