Your privacy matters to Buzztime so whether you are new to Buzztime or a long-time user, please take a moment to know our policy and if you have any questions please contact us.

This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy" or "Policy") applies to our websites (buzztime.com, buzztime.com/business), to the Buzztime services and content we provide through businesses, networks, mobile devices, mobile applications, and to websites operated by our partners, as well as any other websites or services where this Policy is posted (collectively, the "Services").
