Some sections of the Service and some of our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also called clear GIFs, pixel tags, or single-pixel GIFs), which allow Stardustic LTD, for example, to count users who have visited particular pages or opened a given email, and to compile related website statistics (such as measuring the popularity of a section or verifying system and server integrity).
Cookies may be “Persistent” or “Session.” Persistent Cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device even after you go offline, whereas Session Cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser.
We use both Session and Persistent Cookies for the purposes described below:

8. Security of Your Personal Data
The security of your Personal Data matters to us, but please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet, or of electronic storage, is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
9. Detailed Information on the Processing of Your Personal Data
The Service Providers we engage may have access to your Personal Data. These third-party vendors collect, store, use, process, and transfer information about your activity on the Service in accordance with their own privacy policies.
9.1 Analytics
We may rely on third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze how the Service is used.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web-analytics service provided by Google that tracks and reports on website traffic. Google uses the data it collects to monitor and analyze the use of the Service. This data may be shared with other Google services. Google may also use the data collected to contextualize and personalize advertising served through its own advertising network.
You can opt out of having your Service activity made available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing activity information with Google Analytics.
For more information on Google’s privacy practices, please see: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
9.2 Email Marketing
We may use your Personal Data to send you newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, and other information likely to be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any or all of these communications by following the unsubscribe link or instructions included in each email we send, or by contacting us directly.
We may engage email-marketing Service Providers to manage and dispatch emails on our behalf. We currently use Twilio SendGrid for this purpose. Twilio SendGrid’s privacy policy can be reviewed at https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/privacy.
9.3 Payments
The Service may offer paid products and/or services. In that case, we rely on third-party services for payment processing (for example, payment processors).
We do not store or collect your payment-card details. That information is transmitted directly to our third-party payment processors, whose use of your personal information is governed by their own privacy policies. These payment processors comply with the PCI-DSS standards administered by the PCI Security Standards Council, an initiative of brands including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. The PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.
Buzzing’s payment processor is Stripe. You can review Stripe’s privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.

11.2 Sources of Personal Information
We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:
- Directly from you. For example, from forms you complete on the Service, preferences you express via the Service, or purchases you make on the Service.
- Indirectly from you. For example, by observing your activity on the Service.

11.4 Disclosure of Personal Information
We may have disclosed, and may continue to disclose, the following categories of personal information for business or commercial purposes in the last twelve (12) months:

As with collection, the list above reflects categories defined under the CCPA/CPRA; not every example within a given category will necessarily have been disclosed.
Whenever we disclose personal information for a business or commercial purpose, we enter into a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to keep the information confidential and to use it only to perform the contract.
11.5 Share of Personal Information
We may share, and have shared in the last twelve (12) months, the personal information identified in the categories above with the following categories of third parties:
- Service Providers;
- payment processors;
- our Affiliates;
- our business partners;
- third-party vendors to whom you or your authorized agents have permitted disclosure in connection with products or services we provide to you.
11.6 Sale of Personal Information
Under the CCPA/CPRA, “sell” and “sale” mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating — whether orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means — a Consumer’s personal information by the Business to a third party for valuable consideration. This means that a transfer may qualify as a “sale” even where no money changes hands.
Stardustic LTD does not sell personal information, including under the broader definition of “sale” set out in the CCPA/CPRA. We do not engage in behavioral remarketing, interest-based advertising, or the exchange of personal information with advertising networks. The Service Providers we use (such as Twilio SendGrid, Stripe, and Google Analytics) process personal information strictly on our behalf for the business purposes described in this Privacy Policy, under contractual terms that prohibit them from using that information for any other purpose.
11.7 Sale of Personal Information of Minors under 16
We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 16 through the Service, although certain third-party websites to which we link may do so. Those websites have their own terms and privacy policies, and we encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s internet use and to instruct them not to provide information to websites without permission.
We do not sell the personal information of Consumers whom we actually know to be under 16 unless we have received affirmative authorization (the “right to opt in”) from the Consumer (if aged 13 to 16) or from the parent or guardian (if the Consumer is under 13). Consumers who opt in to the sale of personal information may opt out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request by contacting us.
If you believe that a child under 13 (or 16) has provided us with personal information, please contact us with sufficient detail to enable us to delete it.
11.8 Your Rights under the CCPA/CPRA
