The short version
- We collect what you give us on our forms, plus basic device and ad data.
- We share it with our home equity partners, who pay us for referrals. That can count as a "sale" under some state laws.
- We, and those partners, may call, text or email you. Calls come from a live person.
- You can opt out of contact any time, and opt out of the sale or sharing of your information at Your Privacy Choices. We honor Global Privacy Control automatically.
01Who we are
Buzz Marketing ("Buzz Marketing," "we," "us"), 4951 Chalet Dr, Oceanside, CA 92057, is a marketing company that connects homeowners with home equity investment providers. We are not a lender, mortgage broker or home equity investment provider.
02What this policy covers
This policy covers information we collect through this website and its landing pages, the lead forms we run on Facebook and Instagram, and our calls, texts and emails. Once a partner receives your information, the partner's own privacy policy also applies to what it does with it.
03Information we collect
| Category | Examples | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Contact details | Name, phone number, email, property ZIP code | You |
| Property and inquiry details | Whether you own your home, state, estimated home value, equity range, cash amount, what you'd use it for, best way and time to reach you | You |
| Consent records | The consent wording you saw and its version, whether you checked the box, date and time, IP address, page address or Meta lead ID | You and your device |
| Device and usage data | IP address, browser, pages viewed, referring ad, campaign tags, cookie and pixel IDs, approximate location from IP | Your device, cookies and the Meta Pixel |
| Communications | Texts, emails, call notes and call recordings (with notice where required), opt-out requests | You and our calling and messaging tools |
| Property records | Public property and ownership details used to check or complete your inquiry | Public records and data providers |
| Inferences | Your likely interest in home equity products | Created from the above |
We don't ask for your Social Security number, bank or card numbers, or credit score on our forms. If a partner needs them, the partner asks you directly.
04How we use it
- To connect you with our partners and pass your inquiry to them.
- To call, text and email you about home equity options, with your consent.
- To keep records proving your consent and honoring your opt-outs.
- To measure and improve our ads, including through Meta.
- To prevent fraud, duplicate or fake submissions, and to keep the Site secure.
- To meet legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.
05Who we share it with
- Our partners: the home equity companies listed on Our Partners. They may contact you and decide eligibility. They pay us for referrals.
- Service providers: companies that host the Site, run our CRM, dialer, text and email tools, and help us verify information and block fraud, under contracts that limit their use of it.
- Advertising platforms: Meta receives device and event data from the Meta Pixel and our server to measure our ads. Contact details sent for ad measurement are hashed first. We don't send your property or inquiry answers to Meta.
- Legal and safety: when the law requires it, or to protect rights, property or safety.
- Business transfers: as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, under confidentiality terms.
06Sale and sharing of personal information
Because our partners pay us for referrals, sharing your information with them may be a "sale" under California, New Jersey and other state privacy laws. Our use of the Meta Pixel may be "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. In the past 12 months we may have sold or shared contact details, property and inquiry details, consent records, device and usage data and inferences. You can opt out at Your Privacy Choices. We also treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as an opt-out of sale and sharing for that browser: when it's on, we don't load the Meta Pixel. We don't knowingly sell or share information of anyone under 18.
07Calls, texts and emails
We contact you only as described in the consent you gave, and only during the hours your state allows. We don't use prerecorded, artificial or AI-generated voice calls. You can stop contact at any time by any reasonable means: reply STOP to a text, tell the caller, use the unsubscribe link in an email, email admin@itsbuzzmarketing.com, or use Your Privacy Choices. We honor requests within 10 business days and pass them to each partner that received your information.
08Cookies and the Meta Pixel
We use a small number of cookies and the Meta Pixel to run the Site, count form submissions and measure ads. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, control ad preferences in your Facebook and Instagram settings, or turn on Global Privacy Control.
09How long we keep it
We keep lead and contact information for as long as we need it for the purposes above, then delete or de-identify it. We keep consent and opt-out records for at least [5] years so we can prove consent and honor opt-outs.
10Security
We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including encryption in transit (HTTPS with HSTS), a strict content security policy, server-side validation of every form, bot and rate-limit protection, access controls and vendor reviews. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure.
11Your rights
California residents have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, sell and share, and get a copy.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Delete information, subject to legal exceptions (for example, keeping proof of consent or an opt-out).
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
- Limit the use of sensitive personal information. We don't collect sensitive personal information on our forms.
- Not be treated differently for using these rights.
New Jersey residents, and residents of other states with consumer privacy laws, may have similar rights to access, correct, delete, get a copy of and opt out of the sale of their information or its use for targeted advertising, and to appeal if we deny a request. To appeal, reply to our decision or email admin@itsbuzzmarketing.com with "Appeal" in the subject.
How to make a request: use Your Privacy Choices, email admin@itsbuzzmarketing.com or call (714) 315-7010. We'll verify your identity by matching details you give us to our records, and respond within 45 days (or as the law requires). An authorized agent may make a request for you with your signed permission.
12Children
The Site is not meant for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
13Other websites
Our partners' websites and other linked sites have their own privacy policies, which we don't control.
14Changes to this policy
We'll post any changes here with a new effective date. If we make a material change to how we use or share information, we'll give notice as the law requires.
