This Master Privacy Policy (”Privacy Policy”) explains the collection, use, and disclosure of “personal information” by Buzzeromatic, a Washington State Corporation, with its principal place of business in Seattle, Washington, through the websites that Buzzeromatic operates at http://www.buzzeromatic.com (the “Buzzer o' Matic Website”), http://www.flauntable.com (the "Flauntable Website"), http://www.iamsaintnick.com (the "I Am Saint Nick Website"), and http://www.iamsaintvalentino.com (the "I Am Saint Valentino Website") collectively, together with all sub-domains thereof including, without limitation.

Any “personal information” that Buzzeromatic collects  is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy explains our commitment to you with respect to our use and disclosure of non personal browsing and site usage data that Buzzeromatic collects as the provider of the Websites.  That commitment is contained in a "Data Usage Policy," below. 

As used in this policy, "personal information" means information that would allow a party to identify you such as, for example, your name, address or location, telephone number or email address.

By accessing the Website, you are accepting and agreeing to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Buzzeromatic Principles

Nectar Factary is committed to handling responsibly the information and data we collect about you through our Websites, whether personal information or non personal browsing and site usage data. We have designed our Privacy Policy and our Data Usage Policy consistent with the following principles (the “Principles”):


  1. Privacy policies and data collection and use policies should be human readable, comprehensive, and easy to locate;
  2. Only the minimum amount of information reasonably necessary to provide you with services should be collected and maintained, and only for so long as reasonably needed or required;
  3. Information you provide through our Websites, or that we gather as a result of your use of our Websites, should not be used for marketing or advertising purposes, nor should it be provided voluntarily (without your permission) to anyone else unless required; and
  4. Unless restricted or prohibited by law, and provided your email address has been collected and retained, you should be notified when circumstances require Necatar Factory to provide a third party with your personal information.

Personal Information Buzzeromatic Collects

We may collect personal information at several places on the Websites, including without limitation:

  • in connection with your selection of any paid or non-paid service plan
  • when you use money to purchase goods or services. 
  • when you provide personal information in connection with your participation in any of the services we provide.

Exception: Credit Card numbers and Credit Card data are not stored on our sites.  We only pass that information to our secure payment gateways.

What Buzzeromatic does with Personal Information

Usage of our services: Registered Users. When you register to obtain a user account on any of the Websites (any such person, a “Registered User”), including but not limited to the Buzzer O' Matic website (located at http://www.buzzeromatic.com) you may be asked to provide personal information (such as telephone number, credit card information) to create your account and establish a password and profile. Providing your email address and/or real name is not optional. If you do provide your email address, it will allow us to send you your password if you should forget it.  Your name may be associated with the content you are associated with. We will also use that personal information to establish and maintain your membership and provide you with the features we provide for Registered Users, and for the purpose of contacting you about upcoming news and events relevant to Buzzeromatic, and for credit card authorizations.

Any other personal information that we may collect which is not described specifically in this Privacy Policy will only be collected and used in accordance with the Principles.

Disclosures of Personal Information

In general, it is not Buzzeromatic’s practice to disclose personal information to third parties. We may share personal information in two instances:

First, Buzzeromatic may share personal information with our contractors and service providers in order to maintain, enhance, or add to the functionality of the Websites.

Second, we may disclose your personal information to third parties in a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) take action regarding suspected illegal activities; (b) enforce or apply our Master Terms of Use and Privacy Policy; (c) comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order; or (d) protect our rights, reputation, and property, or that of our users, affiliates, or the public.

If Buzzeromatic is required to provide a third party with your personal information (whether by subpoena or otherwise), then provided we have collected and retained an email address for you, Buzzeromatic will use reasonable means to notify you promptly of that event, unless prohibited by law or Buzzeromatic is otherwise advised not to notify you on the advice of legal counsel.

Security of Personal Information Collected via the Websites

Buzzeromatic has implemented reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to and unlawful interception or processing of personal information that Nectar Factory stores and controls. However, no website can fully eliminate security risks. Third parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We will post a reasonably prominent notice to the Websites if any such security breach occurs.

Data Usage Policy: Non Personal Browsing and Site Usage Information

Our Data Usage Policy covers how we maintain and use information about you that is collected by our Websites and server logs, including when you log into our Websites.

Non Personal  Browsing Information We Collect. When you use the Websites, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) may collect information indirectly and automatically (through, for example, the use of your “IP address”) about your activities while visiting the Websites and information about the browser you are using. In addition, whenever you use your registered login to log into a website, our servers (which, again, may be hosted by a third party service provider) keep a log of the visit.

Personal Information We Collect.  When you use the Websites, we may require personal information such as telephone numbers, addresses, names, etc.  Except in the unique situations identified in this Privacy Policy, Buzzeromatic does not sell or otherwise voluntarily provide the personal information we collect about you or your website usage to third parties.

No Linking. We do not intentionally link browsing information or information to the personal information you submit to us. We use this information for internal purposes only, such as to help understand how the Websites are being used, to improve our Websites and the features we provide, and for systems administration purposes. Buzzeromatic may use a third party analytics provider to help us collect and analyze non personal browsing information through operation of our Websites for those same purposes; however, we will never use a third party analytics provider to collect or analyze any information through our operations as an OpenID service provider.

No Selling or Sharing. Except in the unique situations identified in this Privacy Policy, Buzzeromatic does not sell or otherwise voluntarily provide the non personal browsing information we collect about you or your website usage to third parties.

No Access. Buzzeromatic could technically access your web-based account, and could log in on behalf of any of its users to any of the accounts they have accessed using their Website id. Buzzeromatic will never use this technical login ability for any purpose unless otherwise required by law.

No Retention. Buzzeromatic discards non personal browsing information from our server logs once we have used the information for the limited purposes noted above, under “No Linking.”  We do not store credit card information on our site, we only pass that information to our payment gateway in a secured manner (https://).

Notice. If Buzzeromatic is required to provide a third party with your non personal browsing information or to log in on behalf  (whether by subpoena or otherwise), then Buzzeromatic will use reasonable means to notify you promptly of that event, unless Buzzeromatic is prohibited by law from doing so or is otherwise advised not to notify you on the advice of legal counsel.

Any other non-personal information that we collect which is not described specifically in this Privacy Policy will only be collected and used in accordance with the Principles.

Reorganization or Spin-Offs

Buzzeromatic may transfer some or all of your personal and/or non personal browsing information to a third party as a result of a reorganization, spin-off or similar transaction. Upon such transfer, the acquirer’s privacy policy will apply. In such event, Buzzeromatic will use reasonable efforts to notify you and to ensure that at the time of the transaction the acquirer’s privacy policy complies with the Principles.

Children

The Websites are not directed at children under the age of 13. Consistent with the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without requiring parental consent. Our Terms of Use specifically prohibit anyone using our Websites from submitting any personally identifiable information about persons under 13 years of age. Any person who provides their personal information to Buzzeromatic through the Websites represents that they are 13 years of age or older.

Third-Party Sites

The Websites may include links to other websites. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party sites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other websites.

Special Note to International Users

The Websites are hosted in the United States. If you are accessing the Websites from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use and disclosure that differ from United States laws, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU and other regions. By providing your personal data you consent to:


  • the use of your personal data for the uses identified above in accordance with the Privacy Policy; and
  • the transfer of your personal data to the United States as indicated above.

Changes and Updates to this Privacy Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will also revise the Effective Date below. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the Websites constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates.
