Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 17, 2026

Last updated: April 17, 2026

Buzops, Inc. ("Buzops," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Buzops gym management platform, accessible at buzops.com and related applications (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information in connection with your use of our Services.

By using Buzops, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, information collected automatically through your use of the Services, and information from third-party sources.

Information You Provide

  • Account information: Name, email address, phone number, gym name, and login credentials when you create an account or book a demo.
  • Payment information: Billing address and payment method details. Card data is processed by our PCI-compliant payment processor (Stripe) and not stored on our servers.
  • Member data: Information about your gym members that you input into the platform — names, contact details, membership status, billing records, attendance history, and health information relevant to fitness services.
  • Communications: Messages you send to us via email, contact forms, or in-app chat.
  • Support requests: Information you provide when contacting customer support.

Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage data: Pages visited, features used, time spent, clicks, and actions taken within the platform.
  • Device information: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers.
  • Log data: Server logs recording your interactions with our Services, including timestamps and error reports.
  • Cookies and tracking technologies: See the Cookies section below.

Information from Third Parties

  • Access control system integrations (Brivo, Kisi) may share entry event data.
  • Payment processors share transaction confirmations and payment status.
  • If you sign in using Google, we receive your name and email address from Google's OAuth service.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Buzops platform and Services
  • Process payments and manage billing
  • Authenticate users and enforce account security
  • Send transactional communications — confirmations, invoices, system alerts
  • Provide customer support and respond to inquiries
  • Send product updates, feature announcements, and marketing communications (you may opt out at any time)
  • Analyze usage patterns to improve product features and user experience
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
  • Comply with applicable law and legal obligations
  • Enforce our Terms of Service

3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information or your gym members' data. We share information only in the following circumstances:

Service Providers

We work with third-party vendors who assist in operating our Services. These include payment processors (Stripe), cloud hosting providers, email delivery services, analytics tools, and customer support platforms. These vendors are contractually required to use your data only to provide services to us and to maintain appropriate security standards.

Integrations You Authorize

When you connect Buzops to third-party services (access control systems, Zapier, etc.), we share only the data necessary to make those integrations function. You control which integrations are active.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Buzops, our users, or others.

Business Transfers

If Buzops is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify affected users before any transfer occurs and before data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

4. Data Security

We take security seriously. Measures in place include:

  • AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS encryption for data in transit
  • Role-based access controls limiting staff access to only the data they need
  • Full audit logs on every administrative action within accounts
  • Regular security assessments and penetration testing
  • SOC 2-aligned operational practices
  • Incident response procedures for detecting and addressing security events

No security system is impenetrable. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights or the rights of your gym members, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal and contractual obligations.
  • Portability: Request that we provide your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Objection: Object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing.
  • Restriction: Request that we restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@buzops.com. We will respond within 30 days.

California residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, the right to opt out of its sale (we do not sell personal information), and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

EEA/UK residents (GDPR): Our lawful bases for processing include performance of a contract (providing the Services), legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, product improvement), compliance with legal obligations, and consent where applicable.
