Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 12, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how bizzy bee HQ (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you use our website/app (the “Marketplace”) and related services.

We’re a curated storefront. You discover products here, complete checkout on the creator’s website, then (optionally) log what you bought in your profile to keep access links in one place. Because checkout happens off-site, creators are responsible for any personal information you provide on their domains (see “Third-Party Sites & Checkouts”).

We operate primarily under Canada’s private-sector privacy law PIPEDA and, where applicable, Alberta’s PIPA. You’ll find how to exercise your rights and who regulates these laws in the “Your Privacy Rights” section. Privacy Commissioner Canada+2Alberta.ca+2

Personal Information We Collect

Information you give us

Account details: name, email, profile settings, optional avatar.

Library entries you add: product names, purchase dates, access URLs and/or usernames (we do not want or store your passwords), personal notes.

Reviews: ratings, review text, timestamps (and, when available, a “Verified” flag if we can confirm purchase).

Creator listings: for creators only—product info, links (including referral/affiliate links), support contacts, and business details.

Information we collect automatically

Usage & analytics: pages viewed, clicks/UTMs, referrers, device/browser, approximate location (from IP), session events.

Cookies/Similar tech: to run the site, remember preferences, measure performance, attribute referrals, and prevent abuse/fraud (see “Cookies & Tracking”).

Information from others

Review verification: limited order metadata or receipt info if you provide it, or if the creator enables verification.

Attribution data: creators may share aggregated conversion signals so we can attribute referred traffic (no payment card data).

How We Use Personal Information

Operate the Marketplace: account creation, login, library entries, reviews, moderation, security.

Curation & discovery: organize listings, collections, search and filter results.

Attribution & reporting: recognize outgoing clicks and credited referrals/affiliates with UTM parameters or unique links.

Support & communications: respond to messages; send service notices.

Legitimate interests: improve features, debug, prevent fraud/abuse.

Marketing (opt-in/consent-based): send updates or newsletters; you can unsubscribe anytime (see CASL). ISED Canada+1

We do not process your purchase payments and we do not store your passwords.

When We Share Information

We share personal information only as needed to run the Marketplace or as required by law:

Service providers (“processors”): hosting, analytics, error logging, email delivery, customer support tools. They can access info only to perform services for us and must protect it contractually.

Creators (limited, when applicable): aggregated or de-identified performance insights (e.g., clicks from our Marketplace). We do not send them your payment data.

Legal & safety: to comply with laws, respond to lawful requests, or protect our rights/users.

Business transfers: if we reorganize, merge, or sell assets, we may transfer information under continuity protections.

We don’t sell or rent personal information.

Third-Party Sites & Checkouts (Important)

When you click on a button on our website, you go to a creator’s website to purchase and access their product. That website’s privacy policy governs the information you provide there (including payment details). Review their policy and terms before buying.

Cookies & Tracking

We use:

Strictly necessary cookies: login/session, security.

Preference cookies: remember settings (e.g., dark mode).

Analytics cookies: understand usage and improve performance.

Attribution cookies/UTMs: credit referrals and measure outcomes.

Anti-fraud tools: detect suspicious activity.

You can control cookies via your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, some features may not work.

Marketing Emails & CASL

We send commercial electronic messages only with consent or where an allowed exception applies.

Every marketing email includes our identification and an unsubscribe mechanism that works immediately.

For details about Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), see the CRTC guidance. CRTC

Service/transactional messages (e.g., account notices) may still be sent when necessary.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Canadian law (PIPEDA/PIPA)

You can access the personal information we hold about you and request corrections if it’s inaccurate or incomplete. We’ll explain how we used your information and to whom it has been disclosed, as required. You may also challenge our compliance. Privacy Commissioner Canada

If we can’t fully provide access (e.g., legal, security, or proprietary constraints), we’ll tell you why.

Supervisory authorities:

Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) – complaints under PIPEDA and guidance on filing. Privacy Commissioner Canada+1

Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta (OIPC AB) – reviews/complaints for Alberta’s PIPA. OIPC Alberta

EU/UK visitors (if applicable)

Where the GDPR applies, you may have additional rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, plus the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. GDPR+1

To exercise rights, contact us (see “Contact Us”). We may ask for verification before responding.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to prevent unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary to provide the service, meet legal/financial obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When no longer needed, we securely delete or de-identify it.

International Transfers

Our service providers may process information outside Canada (e.g., the United States or EU). Laws in those jurisdictions may allow access by courts, law enforcement, or national authorities. We take steps to ensure comparable protection via contracts and technical controls.

Children’s Privacy

Our Marketplace is not intended for individuals under 16. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have, we’ll delete it.

Reviews & Public Content

Anything you post publicly (e.g., reviews) may be visible to others. We verify reviews when possible and moderate for spam/abuse—not honest criticism. Creators may reply publicly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new “Effective date.” If changes significantly impact your rights, we’ll provide additional notice.
