Privacy Policy
How Buzz Money Coach collects, uses and protects your personal data. Written in plain English.
Who we are. Buzz Money Coach is a trading style of Buzz Money Ltd, registered in England and Wales. When this policy says "we", "us" or "our", it means Buzz Money Ltd. Contact us at hello@buzzmoneycoach.com .
What data we collect
We only collect data that is necessary to deliver our services or to follow up with you after you've used one of our tools.
Financial Freedom Score (scorecard)
When you complete the Financial Freedom Score, ScoreApp (the quiz platform we use) collects your name, email address, phone number, and your answers to the 22 questions. Your overall score and area scores are calculated from your answers. We receive this information so we can send you your result and suggested next step.
Financial Healthcheck and coaching tools
If you sign up for a coaching account, we store the information you enter into the coaching tools: your income and expenditure, balance sheet, fact-find answers, goals, milestones and session notes. This data is held so your coach can review your progress and provide coaching guidance.
Account information
If you create a login, we store your name, email address and an encrypted password (or use a magic link — a one-time sign-in link sent to your email).
Technical data
Our hosting provider (Netlify) may log your IP address and browser type as part of standard server operation. We do not use Google Analytics or any advertising tracking tools.
Why we collect it and our legal basis
We do not sell your data. We do not use it for advertising. We do not send bulk marketing emails without your agreement.
Who we share your data with
We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate the platform. All are under contractual obligations to handle your data securely.
