Privacy policy

We keep this simple: we collect the information we need to run a marketplace, we do not sell your personal information, and we try not to be creepy about it. When you use btbiz you agree to the collection and use of information described here.

We collect information you give us, information we collect automatically, and information we receive from third parties.

• Account details — name, email address, password, and the role you select (buyer, seller, or both).
• Transaction details — the businesses you view, save, or attempt to purchase, and the amounts involved. In this demo, no real card data is processed or stored.
• Listing content — anything you publish as a seller, including business names, financial figures, and descriptions.
• Usage data — pages viewed, searches performed, device type, browser, IP address, and approximate location.

• To create and secure your account and authenticate your sessions.
• To show you relevant listings and process the purchases you request.
• To contact you about orders, price drops, and service changes.
• To detect fraud, abuse, and attempts to sell businesses twice.
• To understand which parts of the marketplace actually work.

Where required by law, we rely on your consent, our contract with you, or our legitimate interest in operating the marketplace.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:

• Sellers and buyers — when a purchase is completed, the counterparty receives the details they need to transfer the business.
• Service providers — hosting, analytics, email, and payment partners acting on our instructions.
• Legal authorities — where we are required to comply with a lawful request or protect our rights.

We use strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences, such as your last-used filters. We use analytics cookies to count visits and understand how people move through the marketplace.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the strictly necessary ones will break sign-in, but the listings will still load.

We keep account and transaction records for as long as your account is active, and afterward for as long as we need to meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations. Listing data may be retained in anonymized form to improve the marketplace.

We use encryption in transit, hashed credentials, and access controls to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security — but we take the reasonable steps most people expect.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing.

• Access and portability — request a copy of your data in a common format.
• Correction — fix information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Deletion — ask us to erase your account and personal data.
• Objection — opt out of marketing and non-essential analytics at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

btbiz is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we will delete it if we learn we have.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes we will revise the “last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you by email or in the app.
