How we protect and handle your personal information
Effective Date: September 15, 2026
Last Updated: September 15, 2026
BarBee Inc. is a hospitality hiring and community platform operated by BarBee LLC ("BarBee," "we," "us," or "our").
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information through the BarBee Inc. app, our website at BarBeeHive.com, and related services we provide (collectively, the "Services").
It also explains your choices and how to contact us about your information.
Our initial service market is the United States. We may introduce additional regional notices and privacy controls before expanding into other countries.
BarBee helps workers and hospitality businesses connect through profiles, job postings, applications, and communications.
Using these features involves sharing information. Review the available settings and disclosures before publishing a profile, uploading documents, submitting an application, or communicating with another user.
"Personal information" includes information that identifies, relates to, or can reasonably be linked to a person or household under applicable law. It can include device identifiers and technical information even when they do not identify someone by name.
This policy explains our practices. It does not replace separate consent where consent is legally required.
We collect information you provide to create and maintain an account, including contact details, login information, and information used to establish account eligibility.
Certain information is necessary to provide an account or a particular feature. Required fields are identified when the information is requested.
Information you submit may include:
Do not upload unnecessary sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers, full financial account details, or government identification documents, unless a specific authorized process requires it.
Business users may provide business names, representative contact details, business locations, logos, job descriptions, compensation information, and hiring requirements.
Information about an individual business representative may be personal information even when supplied for business purposes.
We collect information submitted through messages, support requests, feedback, and reports of suspected fraud, harassment, or other misconduct.
This may include the content you submit and information needed to identify the relevant account, communication, or incident.
We process information associated with subscriptions, boosts, job-posting services, and other purchases. This may include transaction references, purchase receipts, subscription status, and related support records.
Payment providers and app stores also handle information under their own privacy policies.
Technical and usage information may be collected when you access the Services, including information about your device, browser or app, interactions with features, and errors or security events.
We use this information to operate, troubleshoot, secure, and understand the use of the Services.
We may receive information about you when another user sends a communication, responds to an application, or reports activity involving your account.
We may also receive information from providers supporting sign-in, payments, and other functions you use.
BarBee uses location information to support nearby job discovery and other location-based features.
Location may be supplied by you or obtained through device permissions and other technical methods used by the Services.
You may manage device-location permissions through your device settings. Restricting access may limit location-dependent features.
Disabling permission does not necessarily delete location information already collected. Contact us to request deletion where available.
Some features may request permission to access device functions, such as location, photographs, the camera, or notifications.
Permission requests should explain the feature involved. You may manage permissions through your device settings, although declining access may affect the associated feature.
We use personal information to:
Advertising, analytics, and marketing uses are addressed below.
If we introduce a materially different use of personal information, we will provide additional notice and obtain consent where required.
Information you publish in a profile may be visible to other users according to the platform's design and available settings.
When you apply for a position, the receiving employer obtains the information included with your application.
Employers may retain information they receive under their own lawful practices. Deleting information from BarBee does not necessarily remove copies independently retained by an employer.
We process communications to deliver messages and support the relevant features.
Information associated with reported communications may also be used to investigate misuse and protect the Services.
We disclose information to other users when you publish a profile, submit an application, send a message, or otherwise use a sharing feature, as described above.
Providers may process information to help us operate the Services, including hosting, storage, authentication, payments, notifications, support, analytics, and security.
Any disclosure to advertising partners is described in the Advertising and Privacy Choices section below.
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or valid legal process, investigate fraud or abuse, protect rights and safety, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Information may be disclosed or transferred in connection with a proposed or completed merger, financing, reorganization, acquisition, or sale of business assets, subject to applicable protections and notice requirements.
We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or provide consent where required.
Purchases may be processed through Apple, Google Play, or other payment providers offered through the Services.
Account deletion does not necessarily cancel a subscription or remove records a payment provider must retain.
Refer to our Terms and Conditions and the relevant billing provider for cancellation and refund information.
The website and app may use cookies, local storage, software development kits, and similar technologies to support functionality, security, analytics, and advertising.
Browser and device settings may offer additional controls. Those controls may not affect every technology used by the Services.
BarBee may display advertising within the Services. Advertising-related data practices depend on the providers and technology used.
Do not assume that purchasing a subscription or removing visible advertisements automatically changes data-collection practices unless the relevant offer expressly states that it does.
We retain personal information for the periods reasonably necessary to provide the Services and fulfill the purposes described in this policy, subject to applicable law.
Retention decisions take into account:
Account deletion may not immediately remove information from backups or records that we are permitted or required to retain.
When information is no longer needed, we delete it or appropriately deidentify it, subject to applicable law.
Use available account settings to review or update your information. You may also contact buzzbarbee@gmail.com to request access or correction.
You may request deletion through the app's account-deletion feature or by emailing buzzbarbee@gmail.com.
We may retain information where permitted or required by law, as explained in the retention section.
Where we send marketing emails, you can use the unsubscribe instructions in those emails.
Opting out of marketing does not prevent necessary service communications, such as account, billing, or security notices.
You may manage device permissions through your device settings.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent through the relevant control or by contacting us. Withdrawal affects future consent-based processing and does not automatically erase previously collected information.
Email buzzbarbee@gmail.com with your request and the email associated with your account.
Do not include passwords, full payment-card numbers, or government identification documents in your initial request.
We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity or authority. We will respond according to applicable law.
Depending on your state of residence and the laws applicable to BarBee, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your information, or to opt out of certain data uses.
Additional rights may concern sensitive information, targeted advertising, sales or sharing, certain profiling, authorized representatives, or appeals.
These rights are subject to applicable statutory conditions and exceptions. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising them.
BarBee accounts are intended for people who are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering the Terms and Conditions. Individuals under 18 may not create or use an account.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, contact buzzbarbee@gmail.com so we can investigate and take appropriate action, including deletion where required.
If we learn that an account belongs to another person under 18, we will take appropriate steps to restrict or remove it and handle associated information according to applicable law and legitimate retention needs.
We use safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
No system or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. If an incident requires notification under applicable law, we will provide the required notice.
Protect your credentials and promptly report suspected unauthorized access.
Our Services may link to third-party websites or integrations. Those parties may handle information under their own privacy policies.
Review their notices before providing information through their services. This policy describes BarBee's practices.
BarBee LLC is based in the United States.
A U.S. launch does not necessarily mean that all information is processed only in the United States. We will provide additional disclosures and safeguards where required for international processing.
We may update this policy as our Services, practices, or legal requirements change.
We will update the "Last Updated" date and provide additional notice of material changes where required. We will obtain consent where applicable law requires it.
