Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how AirdropBuzz ("we", "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use airdropbuzz.com, the Crypto Airdrops - AirdropBuzz Android app (package com.airdropbuzz.app), and their related features.

1. Data We Collect

Information you provide

• Contact Info: Name and email when you create an account, use our contact form, subscribe to the newsletter, or request support.
• User Content: Information included in comments, ratings, Insight likes and shares, airdrop or article submissions, correction suggestions, and support requests.
• Account Data: Login identifiers, display name, saved items, dashboard actions, watchlists, referral activity, engagement history, and preferences connected to your account.
• Developer Requests: Contact details, project descriptions, requested endpoints, expected usage, and attribution commitments provided when requesting API or MCP access.
• Tool Inputs: Public project URLs or domains submitted to tools such as the AI Airdrop Risk Checker. Do not submit seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, or other secrets.

Information collected automatically

• Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent, search terms, and referring links.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, session metadata, API or MCP request metadata, rate-limit counters, and basic security logs used to protect the Service.

2. Accounts, Dashboard & Saved Items

If you register or sign in, we may process your email address, display name, session identifiers, saved airdrops, saved articles, saved news, saved events, token watchlist entries, BUZZ activity information, referral-code activity, comments, ratings, Insight likes or shares, and dashboard actions. We use this data to provide account features, prevent abuse, troubleshoot issues, and improve the Service.

Android App Data and Privacy Controls

Accounts and app features

You can browse supported features as a guest. If you choose email-code or Google sign-in, our authentication services process your email address, account identifier, authentication token or verification code, session information, and an app-generated device identifier to provide sign-in, account management, and fraud prevention. Google processes the information needed for Google sign-in under its own privacy policy. Newsletter subscription uses the email address you submit and your subscription choice.

Bookmarks, preferences, cached content, and workspace information may be stored on your device. Account-linked BUZZ activity, streaks, referral codes, and related actions are sent to our services when those features are used. Searches send your entered query to our content API. Risk tools transmit the public project URL or token contract information you submit; server-side research providers may receive the public inputs needed to produce a result. Requests to our servers include technical information such as IP address and request metadata for security and operation. Never enter wallet secrets or other sensitive personal information into research inputs.

Optional Google Analytics for Firebase

In Android app versions 1.0.78 and 1.0.79, Firebase Analytics collection is off by default. Starting with version 1.0.80, collection is on by default when no preference has been saved; a previously saved off preference is preserved. You may turn Share app analytics off or on in Profile at any time, and your saved choice is kept after restarting or updating the app. This preference is independent of website cookie choices and advertising consent. While enabled, Google processes app usage events, session and device information, an app-instance identifier, and approximate location derived from masked IP information for usage measurement and product improvement.

Our custom Analytics events describe fixed screen names, public content IDs opened, bookmark additions or removals, and external-link clicks. They do not contain account emails, wallet addresses, search text, content titles, or full destination URLs. We do not set an Analytics user ID. Advertising-ID collection and advertising-personalization consent are disabled for this Analytics integration; that does not disable the separate AdMob SDK.

Turning analytics off stops future Analytics collection and resets the local Analytics instance. It does not automatically delete information already received by Google or disable account/API operations. Analytics retention follows the configured Google Analytics property settings; contact us about data access or deletion requests. We do not claim that app-instance analytics is anonymous.

Google AdMob advertising

The Android app uses Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform for advertising and applicable consent choices. When ads are requested, the advertising SDK may collect and share IP-based approximate location, app interactions, device or advertising identifiers, and diagnostic/performance information with Google and advertising partners for advertising, measurement, and fraud prevention. Non-personalized or limited ads may still involve technical data processing.

Where available, use Ad privacy choices in Profile to review advertising consent. Android's advertising-ID controls can also reset or delete the advertising ID. Declining the optional Firebase Analytics switch does not itself stop AdMob or other essential app services.

Security, retention, and requests

App requests to our production services use HTTPS. Firebase Analytics and Google Mobile Ads encrypt their data in transit. We retain server-side account, security, referral, and feature records as needed for the purposes described in this policy. Uninstalling or clearing app storage removes local app data but does not delete server-side account records.

Request Account or Data Deletion

For the Crypto Airdrops - AirdropBuzz Android app and website, request account deletion by emailing admin@airdropbuzz.com from your registered email with the subject AirdropBuzz account deletion request, or use the Contact Page. Identify your account and ask for account deletion, or specify particular records if you want to keep your account. Do not send passwords, OTPs, wallet keys, or seed phrases.

Requests are handled manually and may require ownership verification. Account-related records can include your email, account identifier, sign-in sessions, server-side saved activity, referral and engagement records, and submitted content. Records required for legal obligations, fraud prevention, or security may need to be retained for as long as the relevant requirement applies; no automatic 90-day deletion or fixed completion deadline is promised. Public blockchain records are outside our control. Local device data and Google-held advertising or analytics records are separate from our account database. Signing out, uninstalling, or disabling analytics is not account deletion.

Provider information: Google Privacy Policy, Firebase Privacy and Security, and AdMob Privacy Information.

3. Blockchain & Wallet Data

Important for Crypto Users: If you interact with our site using a Web3 wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Phantom) or submit wallet addresses for eligibility checks:

• Public Data: We may process your public wallet address. We treat this as public information available on the blockchain.
• No Private Keys: We never have access to, nor do we store, your private keys or seed phrases.
• On-Chain Activity: Please be aware that blockchain transactions are immutable and public. We cannot "delete" data that is written to a blockchain.
• Voluntary Tips: Tips sent to a displayed AirdropBuzz wallet occur directly on the selected blockchain. We do not control the public ledger or automatically know the identity behind a sending address.

4. AI Airdrop Risk Checker Data

Registered users can submit public airdrop or project URLs to the AI Airdrop Risk Checker. For successful scans, we may store the scanned URL, normalized URL, normalized domain, risk score, risk level, summary, red flags, positive signals, safety checklist, recommendation, disclaimer, AI response, result source, share token, timestamp, IP address, and user agent.

• Failed AI calls generally are not saved as successful scans and are not intended to consume a daily scan credit.
• Public AI risk report pages show only safe report data such as domain, score, level, summary, red flags, positives, checklist, recommendation, disclaimer, and date.
• Public reports do not expose your user ID, email, IP address, user agent, or internal cache identifiers.
• AI outputs are heuristic and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. Always verify official links independently.

5. Developer API, MCP & Automated Distribution

Approved developers may receive a named API key or MCP credential. We may retain the developer or project name, access status, requested use, creation date, and security or rate-limit logs needed to operate and revoke that credential. Credentials must not be submitted through public forms, committed to source control, or shared with unauthorized users.

AirdropBuzz also distributes selected public content through services such as Binance Square, Pinterest, Hey/Lens, Nostr, search indexes, feeds, and other social or discovery channels. These workflows publish AirdropBuzz content and public links; they are not intended to export private account details, private comments, email addresses, or watchlists.

6. How We Use Data

• To operate and maintain the website.
• To provide login, dashboard, watchlist, comment, rating, and AI risk scan features.
• To detect and prevent fraud, spam, phishing, and API abuse.
• To analyze traffic patterns so we can improve research, navigation, and performance.
• To send newsletters or service messages when you opt in or when required for account/security purposes.
• To enforce daily limits and protect site reliability.
• To provision, monitor, rate-limit, audit, and revoke developer API or MCP access.
• To publish and measure public AirdropBuzz content distributed through approved external channels.

7. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies to improve your experience. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies.

• Essential Cookies: Required for login sessions, security checks, cookie preferences, and core site functions.
• Analytics Cookies: We use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics 4 with IP masking where available and Microsoft Clarity for heatmaps/session insights, to understand site trends and improve user experience.
• Advertising Cookies: If enabled, advertising partners may use cookies to measure ad performance and show more relevant ads.
• Security Signals: Anti-abuse providers such as Cloudflare Turnstile or Google reCAPTCHA may process limited technical signals needed to distinguish legitimate requests from automated abuse.

Cookie consent choices

AirdropBuzz uses Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity for website measurement and may use Google AdSense or other Google advertising cookies. You can accept, reject, or manage optional analytics and advertising cookies in the cookie banner. You can change your choice later using the "Cookie settings" link in the website footer. Your consent choice is stored locally in your browser and is used to update Google Consent Mode signals for analytics and advertising.

Bitmedia advertising pilot

Our homepage includes clearly labeled Bitmedia advertising cards in the Top Picks and More Live Airdrops grids. They are not ranked campaigns or editorial recommendations. Their advertising code loads only after you allow advertising cookies and each placement is near your viewport. Bitmedia may process IP addresses, page context, device/browser signals, cookies and browser-storage identifiers for ad delivery, measurement and fraud prevention. See Bitmedia's privacy policy. Rejecting advertising prevents these placements from loading. Withdrawing permission through Cookie settings removes their advertising frames and stops new requests from these placements; it cannot undo data already transmitted or automatically erase existing provider identifiers.

8. Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with:

• Service Providers: Hosting, database, storage, email delivery, and monitoring providers that help operate the Service.
• Analytics, Ads, and Security Providers: Tools that help us measure traffic, serve ads, detect abuse, and keep the site available.
• AI Service Providers: Server-side AI providers may process the public URL/domain and risk-check prompt needed to generate an AI risk snapshot. API keys are not exposed in frontend code.
• Authentication and Distribution Providers: Login providers may process authentication data you choose to provide. Social, search, and publishing platforms may receive public article text, images, tags, and canonical links when we distribute AirdropBuzz content.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law enforcement or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

9. Data Retention

We keep account, dashboard, engagement, security, comment, rating, scan, developer-access, and request-log data for as long as needed to provide the Service, maintain abuse protection, preserve public report integrity, comply with legal obligations, and improve site reliability. Public blockchain data cannot be deleted by AirdropBuzz because it is maintained by independent blockchain networks.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Ask us to correct inaccurate account information.
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal, security, and public-report integrity requirements.
• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.
• Cookie Choice: Reject or revise optional analytics and advertising consent through the footer's Cookie settings control.

To exercise these rights, contact us at our Contact page. We do not discriminate against users for exercising their privacy rights.

11. Security

We use HTTPS, access controls, server-side API keys, prepared statements where applicable, rate limits, and monitoring to protect the Service. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

12. Children

AirdropBuzz is intended for users who are at least 18 years old or the age of majority in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
