This Privacy Policy describes how Buz Movie (“we”, “our”, “the app”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information when you use the Buz Movie mobile application. We are committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring that our practices comply with applicable laws, Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines, and international privacy regulations. By using Buz Movie, you consent to the data collection and use practices described in this policy.
Buz Movie is a legally compliant trailer discovery app that showcases movie and TV show trailers using licensed YouTube embeds and metadata supplied by The Movie Database (TMDB) API. The application does not host or stream full movies, does not provide unauthorized access to copyrighted content, and does not circumvent any digital rights management (DRM) systems.
This policy applies to all users of our iOS application and covers the data handled directly by Buz Movie and by our third-party partners. Any subsequent modifications to this policy will be reflected through updates in the app and on our designated privacy policy page.
We collect limited categories of data to ensure the app runs smoothly, to deliver advertising responsibly, and to fulfill legal obligations. Data collection is performed either directly by Buz Movie or by selected third-party partners under strict contracts. The types of data gathered are as follows:
We do not request access to contacts, photos, cameras, precise location, or other sensitive storage. We do not knowingly collect personal data such as full names, email addresses, or payment details within the app interface. Any support inquiries sent via email are voluntary and handled separately from the app’s core functionality.
We only collect and use data for the purposes detailed in this section. Each category of data is handled strictly within the scope described:
We do not use collected data for direct marketing, data brokering, or any use cases outside of the app experience described here.
Buz Movie adheres to Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework. When required, iOS displays an ATT prompt to request permission before accessing the device’s advertising identifier (IDFA) for tracking. If you deny permission, tracking-related data will be either deactivated or anonymized according to Apple’s policies and applicable law.
Additionally, we integrate the User Messaging Platform (UMP) from Google to manage consent for personalized ads and handle GDPR compliance where applicable. You may review or adjust your consent choices through the UMP dialogue presented in the app.
Note: Granting access to advertising identifiers or enabling personalized ads is entirely optional. If you opt out, you will still receive non-personalized advertisements where necessary to support the app.
Certain data points collected in Buz Movie are linked to the device or user profile used to access the app, particularly those managed by third-party ad networks. This linking enables the delivery of targeted ads and measurement of advertising effectiveness. Specifically:
Users can manage tracking preferences via iOS Settings > Privacy > Tracking. Our app fully honors these preferences.
To provide a rich, reliable experience, Buz Movie integrates a set of reputable third-party services. Each partner is vetted for compliance with App Store policies and applicable data protection regulations. Key partnerships include:
We do not sell personal information. Any data shared with third-party providers is governed by privacy-protective agreements and used strictly for the purposes described above.
We retain data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. Diagnostic logs and analytics may be stored in aggregated form to monitor historical performance, but personal identifiers are minimized wherever feasible.
Third-party partners may maintain their data under their own retention schedules, which you can review in their respective policies (e.g., Google’s Privacy Policy, YouTube’s Privacy Policy). If you request data deletion, we coordinate with partners to honor the request in accordance with their procedures.
Buz Movie does not maintain custom back-end servers that store your personal information. Most processing happens client-side or via authorized third-party endpoints.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect data during transmission and storage:
Although no system is 100% secure, we continuously review and update our security posture to maintain robust protection against unauthorized access or disclosure.
Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., EU/EEA, UK, California), you may be entitled to certain rights over your personal data. We strive to honor requests related to:
To exercise these rights, please contact us using the channels listed later in this policy. We may request proof of identity for security purposes. Responses will be provided within a reasonable timeframe, in accordance with relevant laws.
Buz Movie is designed for a general audience and does not target children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately so that we can delete it promptly.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children’s device usage and to leverage Apple’s parental controls for additional safeguards.
The third-party services we use may process data in multiple jurisdictions, including the United States, European Union, and other regions depending on infrastructure. When such transfers occur, they are supported by appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, privacy frameworks, or other legal mechanisms accepted under GDPR and comparable privacy laws.
Buz Movie fully complies with Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines, including rules for legal content, user-generated content, privacy practices, and intellectual property protection. We do not provide or encourage access to unauthorized streaming services or illegal downloads. All trailers are sourced from YouTube using official embeds, and API data is retrieved from TMDB under its terms of service.
We also adhere to applicable regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other regional data protection laws. Should legal or regulatory requirements change, we will update our practices and notify users where appropriate.
The app may contain links to external platforms (e.g., Netflix, Telegram, Instagram). These are provided for convenience and open either the official app (if installed) or the corresponding website in Safari. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing personal information.
We periodically review and update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, technology, regulatory requirements, or industry best practices. Significant changes will be communicated via in-app notifications and/or by updating the “Last Updated” date below. Continued use of Buz Movie after updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
