Updated January 24, 2023
BrewAndBuzz Digital Services LLP (“BB”) owns and operates brewandbuzz.com. “BrewAndBuzz” or “Brew&Buzz” Global is interchangeably used as a brand name of the company.
You are consenting to the collection, use and disclosure of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to the same, please do not access or use the website or submit any forms on it. We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time without any prior PP to you and will post the revised Privacy Policy on our Site(s). The revised Privacy Policy will be effective upon posting and your continued access or use of the website after such time will constitute your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. We therefore recommend that you periodically review this page.
The following details our Privacy Policy (the “PP”) for the Sites and describes the types of information we gather from those persons visiting the Sites and how we use such information. We understand the importance of privacy and accordingly, treat all information received in a responsible manner. This PP applies to all of the services offered by BB and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “services”) on the Sites. By accessing the Sites, you agree to be bound by the PP. If you do not agree to the terms of this PP, please do not use the Sites.
Data Controller
The data controller for the information you provide or that is collected by BB pursuant to this Privacy Policy can be reached out to at: O-207, Pinnac Memories, Phase 2, Kothrud, Pune 411052, Maharashtra India.
Use of Information Collected by Us
BB may collect two types of information from users of our Sites: “personal information” (such as name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, social media profile, gender, ethnicity, marital status, etc.) and “aggregate information” (such as frequency of visits to any of the Sites, search terms entered, Site pages most frequently accessed, browser type, etc.). BB uses collected personal information for its primary business purpose of providing marketing and advertising services, and all related purposes like using submitted content (unless Name and Identity is consented by the user, only anonymised content will be used for example, statistics) for advertising and marketing opportunities, creating accounts and profiles (as the website is developed in the coming months), processing payment, dispute resolution, managing customer orders, and communication between users. We also use this information in an effort to improve your experience on the Sites and to communicate with you about information that you request, to help us target specific services or offers to you, to contact you for troubleshooting purposes or support, to enforce our Terms of Service or protect our Site(s), for administrative purposes, to help us develop and improve our Sites, or to tailor our Sites to your interests.
Collecting and Using Your Personal Information
BB collects personal information that is voluntarily provided when users sign up for an BB site or service, fill out a form, or enter a promotion. Specifically, when you sign up for our Platform through one of our Sites or interact with our widgets and bots (including Shakebot), we ask you for personal information such as your name, address, social media connections, and email address. We may also request payment account information (such as PayPal. Razorpay, Instamojo, credit card etc.) which is encrypted and provided to third parties for the purpose of processing payment(s). As of January 24, 2023 there is no payment gateway connected to the site. However, in the near future when the payment gateway will get connected, we will update this policy. The payment terms for India will be as per RBI guidelines on its tokenisation policy.
In addition, BB collects supplemental data from public sites, IP addresses, and connected social media channels (via an API for which you can select the types of information BB may access), to create a more robust user profile and increase the odds that a marketer will locate your profile for content opportunities.
As a Partner/affiliate/channel partner/digital salesperson agreeing to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy when creating an account on our Site(s), upon registration you will be asked to provide an email address, establish a password, and provide payment account information. This data is required in order to make our services available to you.
As a user of the Site(s), we may communicate with you using the email address you have provided, for purposes such as providing you with Opportunities, delivering support to enhance your user experience, communicating news about BB or features and functionalities of the Platform, or presenting you with surveys or commercial offers you may be interested in. You may control your email preferences within your account in the Platform.
Collecting and Using Your Aggregate Information
BB also aggregates information that, by itself, does not identify who you are, such as frequency of visits to the Sites, search terms entered, browser type, etc. BB uses the aggregated information to provide its services, as well as to determine the use of our Sites and to monitor, audit and analyze information pertaining to our business metrics.

Do Not Track Policy

Use of Pixel Tags/Clear GIFs/Web Beacons
A pixel tag, also known as a clear GIF or web beacon, is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of our Sites but not on your computer. When you access these pages, pixel tags generate a generic PP of that visit. They usually work in conjunction with cookies, registering when a particular computer visits a particular page. If you turn off cookies, the pixel tag will simply detect an anonymous website visit.
Retaining and Securing Your Information
We take reasonable and appropriate security measures designed to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage, and processing practices, and introducing security measures, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to BB employees, service providers and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations.
However, given the inherent risks, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security, and any information you transmit to us is done at your own risk. IN NO EVENT WILL BB OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES OR ANY PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING OR DELIVERING THE SITES BE
LIABLE IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS, USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITES, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DEFECT, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER VIRUS OR LINE OR SYSTEM FAILURE (INCLUDING LOSS PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, AND DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM INACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION OR INCONVENIENCE, DELAY, OR LOSS OF THE USE OF THE SITES). THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF BB OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or until you request otherwise, unless a longer retention period is required for record-keeping, reporting, or other legitimate reasons like enforcement of legal rights, fraud prevention, or as otherwise permitted by law. Residual anonymous information and aggregate information, neither of which identifies you (directly or indirectly), may be stored indefinitely.
The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:
The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide services to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us or keep using the Sites)
Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them)
Whether retention is advisable considering our legal position (such as, for statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations)
Integrity of Your Data
BB processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary.
