Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 14, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how AirdropBuzz ("we", "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use airdropbuzz.com and its 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.
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.
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.
