Buzz List app

Privacy Policy

Effective October 2, 2026 · Last updated November 10, 2026

Buzz List is run by Buzz List LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company ("Buzz List," "we," "us"). This policy explains what we collect when you use Buzz List at buzzlistapp.com or in the Buzz List Android app (which shows the same website), why, and the choices you have.

01What we collect

Account details: your email address, the name you enter, your role in your hive, and a record of when you agreed to our Terms of Service and this policy, and which versions.
If you sign in with Apple or Google: they send us your email address and, if you allow it, your name. We never see your Apple or Google password. If you use Apple's "Hide My Email", we only get the private relay address Apple gives us.
Hive content: what you and your hive members add, such as buzzes (requests), nudges, notes, equipment, checkups, parts, costs, mileage or engine hours, vehicle and boat details you choose to add (such as VIN, license plate or registration number, oil and tire details, and insurance company, policy number and claims phone number), lists, repeating chores (including, if you use "take turns", which hive members share a chore and whose turn it is), and photos and documents (such as receipts, manuals and warranty papers) if you add them.
Little Bees: if you use the kids' chore list, the bee name (from our list, like Buzzy or Clover) and emoji you pick for each child, and their chores. We never ask for a child's real name, age, photo or contact information, and children don't sign in.
ZIP code: if you add one in Settings, so we can send freeze alerts and weather warnings for your area.
Notification and device data: if you turn on notifications, a notification address for your device and a device name, plus basic technical data like browser type, IP address and error logs, which our hosting and sign-in providers record when your device connects.
Feedback: if you send feedback from Settings, your message and its type (such as an idea or something broken), plus the screen you were on, your device name and browser details, the app version, and which hive you were in.
Waitlist sign-ups: your email address and any answers you choose to give.
If you buy Buzz List Pro (when it's offered): a Stripe customer number, a Stripe subscription number, the subscription's status (such as active or cancelled), its renewal date, which plan you chose, and which person paid for the hive. Stripe also gets your email address.

We don't ask for a password; you sign in with a code or link sent to your email. We never collect or store your card number or other payment details; if you buy Pro, you enter them on Stripe's page, and Stripe keeps them. We don't use advertising or analytics trackers. Buzz List keeps a few things on your own device so it works: your sign-in, your screen choices, a half-written buzz, and a copy of the app's own files.

02How we use it

To run Buzz List: sign you in, sync your hive between devices, send buzzes and reminders, and work out budgets and checkup schedules.
To answer your support requests and use your feedback to fix and improve Buzz List.
To keep the service secure and fix problems, including a check at sign-in (Cloudflare Turnstile) that you're a person and not a robot.
To see in general how Buzz List is used, with simple counts from our own database (such as how many hives have sent a buzz), so we know what to improve.
To check your vehicles and appliances for recalls (about once a week, and when you tap "Check now") and send your hive a notification if one may apply.
To email you about your account and, if you joined the waitlist or opted in, about Buzz List news. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link. If you don't use phone notifications, we also send a short weekly email of what's due in your hive (checkups, open buzzes, repeating chores, warranties ending soon), only when something is due; turn it off in Settings → Email or with the link in the email. If your hive has never had a job and you don't use phone notifications, we may also send up to three short "start with one job" emails, one a week, starting about four days after the hive is made. They use the same turn-off link and setting.

Your hive: everyone in a hive can see and edit that hive's content. Only invite people you trust.
Service providers that run Buzz List for us, only for that purpose: Supabase (database, sign-in and file storage), Cloudflare (website hosting, domain, email forwarding and the "are you a person" check at sign-in), Resend (sending sign-in and account emails), Stripe (taking payment for Buzz List Pro, if you buy it; Stripe gets your email address and the payment details you enter, and handles them under its own privacy policy), Apple and Google (signing you in, only if you choose to sign in with them), Google (our support inbox, if you email us), and your device's push notification service.
Weather services: if you add a ZIP code, we send only that ZIP code (to Zippopotam.us, or to Open-Meteo if that lookup fails) and its approximate map location (to Open-Meteo) to look up the forecast. Nothing else about you or your hive is sent.
Recall services (U.S. government): if you use recall alerts, we send a vehicle's VIN to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to look up its make, model and year, then send that make, model and year to NHTSA to find recalls. For an appliance or other product, we send its model number to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). We send no names, email addresses or home addresses. Matching recalls are saved in your hive and shown to its members.
Our team: authorized people at Buzz List can technically access the database. We only look at your content when needed for support you ask for, security, or to fix a problem.
Legal reasons: if required by law, or to protect someone's safety or our rights.
Business transfer: if Buzz List is sold or merged, your information may move to the new owner under this policy.

We don't sell your personal information, and we don't share it for advertising.

Do Not Track: some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because Buzz List doesn't use tracking or advertising cookies and doesn't track you across other websites, it works the same whether or not that signal is on.

04How long we keep it

We keep your information while your account is open. When you delete your account, we delete your personal information right away, except where the law requires us to keep it. Content you added to a shared hive stays with that hive for its remaining members unless you delete it first. If you were the only member, the whole hive is deleted. Feedback you sent is deleted along with your account. Billing records (Stripe customer and subscription numbers, status and renewal date) are deleted with the hive, though we and Stripe may keep payment records for as long as tax and accounting law requires. Backups clear on their normal cycle.

05Your choices

Edit your name and hive details in Settings at any time.
Delete your account in Settings → Delete my account, or email help@buzzlistapp.com.
Ask for a copy of your information, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing help@buzzlistapp.com. Depending on where you live, you may have more rights under state law, and we honor those requests.
Turn off notifications in Settings or in your device settings.

06Security

We protect your data with encrypted connections, database rules that keep each hive's data separate, and two-factor sign-in on our admin accounts. No system is perfectly secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your information, we'll notify you as the law requires.

07Children

Buzz List is for adults 18 and older. The Little Bees chore list is run by parents from their own accounts; children don't sign in, and we only store the bee name, emoji and chores a parent picks. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, email help@buzzlistapp.com and we'll delete it.

08Where data is stored

Your information is stored and processed in the United States.

09Changes to this policy

If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we'll tell you in the app or by email before the change takes effect, and update the date at the top of this page.
