Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 16, 2026

Buy Things In Bulk ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

• Email address — when you join our waitlist, create an account, or contact us.
• Payment information — processed by Stripe. We never store your full card number on our servers.
• Account details — name or display name if provided during signup.

Information collected automatically:

• Usage data — pages visited, features used, search queries entered in the comparison tool, timestamps, and referring URLs.
• Device and browser information — browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and IP address.
• Cookies and similar technologies — see Section 5 below.

Chrome extension:

The Buy Things In Bulk browser extension reads Amazon search results pages solely to display normalized price-per-unit overlays. It does not collect or transmit your browsing history, Amazon account details, or purchase history to our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To operate and improve the Service, including personalizing your experience.
• To send transactional emails such as account confirmations and receipts.
• To send the waitlist notification email you opted into (you can unsubscribe at any time).
• To analyze usage patterns and fix bugs.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data to train AI models or share it for advertising purposes.

3. How We Share Your Information

We share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — trusted vendors who help us operate the Service (e.g., Supabase for database and authentication, Stripe for payments, Vercel for hosting). These vendors are contractually prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.
• Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public.
• Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data is subject to a materially different privacy policy.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or accounting purposes.

5. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how the Service is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some functionality.

We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

6. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (TLS), secure authentication via Supabase, and access controls limiting who on our team can access user data. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

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

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Receive a portable copy of your data.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@buythingsinbulk.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page with an updated date. For material changes, we will notify you by email or with a prominent notice on the Site before the change takes effect.
