Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

BuyRoundup (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates buyroundup.com (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and, if you sign in with Google, your name and profile picture as provided by Google. We use this information to authenticate you and display your profile within the Service.

Roundup Content

When you create product roundups, we store the product names, descriptions, URLs, images, prices, and affiliate links you provide. Public roundups are visible to anyone with the link.

Usage and Analytics Data

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymized usage data including pages visited, time on site, and device type. Analytics data is collected only with your explicit consent via our cookie banner. We also use Google Search Console to understand how users find our site through search engines. IP addresses are anonymized in GA4.

Click Tracking

When you click an affiliate link on a roundup page, we record the click with a one-way hash of your IP address (not the IP address itself), the referring page, and a timestamp. This data helps roundup creators understand engagement. We do not track you across other websites.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the Service
• To authenticate your account and manage sessions
• To display your roundups and track affiliate link clicks
• To analyze aggregated, anonymized usage patterns (with consent)
• To communicate with you about your account or the Service
• To detect and prevent fraud or abuse

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Supabase — database and authentication (stores account and roundup data)
• Vercel — hosting and content delivery
• Google Analytics 4 — anonymized usage analytics (consent-gated)
• Google Search Console — search performance data
• Amazon Associates — affiliate link program (Amazon's privacy policy applies when you visit Amazon)

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they process data. We encourage you to review them.

5. Cookies

We use cookies for authentication (session management) and analytics. For detailed information about our cookie usage, please see our Cookie Policy.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your profile and roundup data. Anonymized click tracking data may be retained for aggregate analytics. GA4 data is retained according to Google's data retention settings (default: 14 months).

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent for analytics cookies at any time
• Export your roundup data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@buyroundup.com.

8. Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed IP addresses for click tracking, row-level security policies on our database, and secure authentication via Supabase Auth. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
