Privacy Policy
The short version
- We collect what the apps need to work, and nothing for advertising.
- We never sell your data.
- Deal sheet photos are deleted after processing, and we never store your exact location.
- You can delete your DealBuddy account and data yourself, at any time.
Who we are
Tenzify LLC ("Tenzify," "we," "us") is a California limited liability company that develops and operates software, including the DealBuddy app (iOS, Android and app.autodealbuddy.com) and Glucose Converter. This policy covers those apps, our websites (tenzify.org and autodealbuddy.com) and the support we provide by email.
Information we collect
DealBuddy
- Account details. Your email address, plus the name on your account if you add one. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email address and an account identifier from them. If you use an email sign-in link, we receive your email address. We never see or store a password.
- Deal and vehicle details you enter or upload. For example the vehicle's year, make, model, trim, VIN, mileage and condition, and the deal's price, fees, interest rate, term, down payment and trade-in.
- Deal sheet photos. If you upload a photo of a dealer's offer sheet, we process it to read the deal's numbers. We don't keep the image after processing.
- Your area (optional). To compare prices locally, you can type a city or state, or let the app use your device's location. If you allow location, your device sends its coordinates directly to our location provider, BigDataCloud, which returns a city and state. We keep only the city or region, never your coordinates.
- Chat messages. Questions you send to Ask Deal Buddy and the replies.
- Purchases. Whether you have an active subscription or credits, as confirmed by Apple, Google, Stripe and RevenueCat. We never receive card or bank details.
- Usage data. Basic counts tied to your account, such as how many analyses you've run, to apply plan limits and keep the app reliable.
Glucose Converter
Glucose Converter does conversions on your device. It doesn't require an account, and we don't receive the readings you convert.
Websites and email
Our websites don't use advertising trackers or analytics cookies. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver pages and block abuse. When you email us, we receive your message and email address.
How we use information
- To provide app features: analyzing deals, comparing prices to the market, decoding VINs, answering chat questions and saving your deals.
- To manage your account, subscription and plan limits.
- To respond to support and privacy requests.
- To keep our services secure and working, including preventing abuse and fixing errors.
- To meet legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use it to target ads.
How we use AI
DealBuddy uses Anthropic's Claude models to read deal sheets, prepare market comparisons and answer chat questions. For these features we send Anthropic only what the request needs: the deal sheet image, the vehicle and deal details, your general area, or your chat message. To find comparable prices, the model may run web searches using vehicle details; those searches don't include your name or email.
We instruct the model not to extract names, addresses or account numbers from deal sheets. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, data sent through its API is not used to train its models. We don't use your data to train AI models of our own.
Service providers
We share information only with providers that help us run our services, and only what each one needs:
| Provider | What they do for us |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database and account sign-in |
| DigitalOcean | Hosts our application server |
| Cloudflare | Website hosting, security and email routing |
| Anthropic | AI processing for deal sheets, market comparisons and chat |
| Apple | Sign in with Apple and App Store purchases |
| Google sign-in and Google Play purchases | |
| Stripe | Payments on the web |
| RevenueCat | Manages app store subscription status |
| BigDataCloud | Turns device location into a city and state, only if you allow location |
| NHTSA vPIC | U.S. government VIN decoder; receives the VIN only |
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or users' safety, or as part of a merger or sale of the business, in which case this policy continues to apply.
Keeping and deleting data
- We keep your account and saved deals for as long as your account is open.
- You can delete your account at any time in DealBuddy under Profile → Delete account. This removes your account and saved deals from our active systems right away, and any remaining backup copies within 30 days.
- Deal sheet images are deleted after processing.
- Market comparison results that aren't linked to you may be cached to speed up later requests.
- Support emails are kept only as long as needed to help you and keep basic records.
- Payment providers keep transaction records under their own legal obligations.
More detail is in our Data Governance Policy.
Your privacy rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, give you a copy, correct it, or delete it. Email privacy@tenzify.org from the address on your account so we can verify the request. We respond within 45 days.
California residents
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, you have the right to know, access, correct and delete your personal information, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined, and we don't use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you. We will never treat you differently for using these rights. You can use an authorized agent; we may ask for proof of their authority.
Security
We encrypt data in transit with HTTPS, limit access to the people who operate the services, and rely on established providers for hosting and payments. No system is completely secure, so if we learn of a breach that affects your information, we will notify you as the law requires.
Children
Our apps are not directed to children under 13, and DealBuddy is intended for adults 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you think a child has given us information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Where data is processed
Tenzify is based in the United States, and our providers process data primarily in the United States.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. For significant changes, we'll also tell you in the app or by email before they take effect.
