Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 18, 2026
Who we are: BCzap Connect is operated by BCzapconnect LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, 2106 House Ave Suite 591, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001, United States. Website: https://bczapconnect.com/
Privacy questions: support@bczapconnect.com

This policy explains what BCzap Connect ("BCzap", "we") collects, why, who helps us run the service, how long we keep it, and how to delete your account.

1. What we collect

When you create an account

Sign-in: you sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple. We receive your name (if the provider shares it), your email address (with Apple you may choose a private relay address) and a provider account identifier. We never receive or store a password.
Your BCzap ID: we create a permanent 8-character BCzap ID and a QR code for your account.

What you add to your profile

Profile details: display name, bio, category, and whether your profile is public, discoverable and open to proposals.
Profile photo (optional): a photo you choose from your photo library. We store one resized copy.
Links: web and social links, with a title, a group and a Public or Private setting.
Saved places: map links and place names you save. We never read your device location. A place is only the map link you paste or share into the app.
Groups for your links and your contacts.
Info entries: an older feature that is no longer offered. If you created some before, we keep them until you delete them or your account.

When you connect with other people

Contacts: the BCzap IDs you add by scanning a QR code, opening a BCzap link or entering an ID. We never read your phone's address book.
Bookmarks: other creators' public links you save.
Proposals (collaboration requests): when you send one, we store your name, the type of work, a summary, a budget range, a timeline and the contact detail you choose to share (an email address, a phone number or a link). The person you send it to can see all of it.
Crew: posts you publish (role, title, description, budget, timeline, work mode) and applications you send (a short pitch and the contact detail you choose: email, phone or link). The poster sees applications sent to them.
Reports and blocks: when you report a profile or a link we store the reason and your optional note. When you block someone we store that block.

Generated as you use BCzap

Insights: when a signed-in BCzap user opens your profile or taps one of your links, we record the event (which profile or link, the viewer's BCzap account and the time). Visits to your web profile page are recorded without any viewer identity. You see the totals in Insights.
Notifications: a device push token from Apple or Google, so we can send the notifications you allow (for example "someone added you", proposals, Crew activity and an optional weekly summary). Your notification settings.
Subscription status: whether BCzap Pro is active for your account. We receive this from the App Store or Google Play through RevenueCat. We never see your card or payment details.
Promo codes you redeem.
Safety limits: short-lived counters that limit abuse, for example how many BCzap ID lookups, searches, reports or wrong promo codes an account makes in a given time.
On your device: a local cache of your own content and settings to make the app faster.

When you contact us

Support emails: if you write to support@bczapconnect.com, we receive your email address and your message, and we use them only to help you.

What we do not collect

No device location, no address book, no advertising identifier.
No advertising and no third-party analytics or crash-reporting tools.
We do not sell your personal information and we do not use it for advertising.

2. How we use it

To create your account and keep you signed in.
To show your profile, links and places to the people you choose (see section 4).
To let you connect, bookmark, send proposals, post and apply on Crew, and report or block.
To show you Insights about your own profile.
To send the notifications you allow.
To provide and check BCzap Pro and the Free plan limits.
To keep BCzap safe: limit abuse, review reports, and prevent fraud.
To answer support requests.

3. Device permissions

Camera: only to scan a BCzap QR code. No image is stored or uploaded.
Photo library: only when you choose a profile photo.
Notifications: only if you allow them. You can turn them off in the app or in your device settings.

4. Who can see what

Private items are visible only to you.
Your public profile and public items are visible to signed-in BCzap users who are allowed to see your profile: your contacts, people you have shown your BCzap ID or QR to (for 24 hours after they look it up), people who received a proposal or a Crew application from you, people whose profile you opened in the last 7 days, and, if you turn on "Allow people to discover me", anyone searching BCzap. A private profile is visible only to you.
Your profile photo follows the same rule. People who are not allowed to see your profile cannot load it.
Your web profile page (bczapconnect.com/u/your ID) shows your public profile and public items to anyone with the link while your profile is public. It does not show your photo.
Blocking someone hides you from each other and removes you from each other's contacts. Unblocking only removes the block; it does not add the person back.

5. Who helps us run BCzap (processors)

Service	What it does
Supabase	Hosts our database, sign-in, file storage (profile photos) and server functions.
Google Sign-In / Sign in with Apple	Sign-in, only when you choose them.
RevenueCat, Apple App Store, Google Play	BCzap Pro subscriptions and their status.
Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple Push Notification service	Delivering push notifications.
Cloudflare	Hosts our website and the web profile page.
Google Fonts	Supplies the app's typefaces. When the app downloads a font, your device's internet address is sent to Google, as with any web request.

These providers process data only to run their part of the service, under their own terms.

Where your data is stored: our database and files are hosted by Supabase on Amazon Web Services servers in South Korea (Seoul). Our providers may also process data in other countries, including the United States. Wherever data is processed, we use providers that protect it with encryption and access controls.

6. When we share data

With the people you choose, through your profile, proposals, Crew and contacts.
With the processors above, to run the service.
When required by law, or to protect the safety of users and the service.

We do not sell personal information.

7. How long we keep data

Data	Kept
Your account and content	Until you delete them or your account.
Insights events	Removed automatically after about 180 days.
Push tokens	Until you sign out, uninstall, or the token stops working.
Exact-ID lookup access	24 hours.
Abuse counters (lookups, searches, promo codes, reports)	Short periods (hours to a few days).
Reports you make or that are made about you	2 years, then deleted. They are kept after either account is deleted, so the report can still be reviewed. A deleted person's report keeps only their BCzap ID and the report itself; their name, email and other data are gone.
Founder admin audit log and link-moderation history	2 years, then deleted. Kept for safety and accountability. They record actions and link checks, not your profile.
Support emails	Until your request is resolved, then deleted from time to time.
Store purchase records	Kept by Apple, Google and RevenueCat under their own policies.

8. Deleting your account

In the app: My Profile → Settings → Account & app → Danger zone → Delete account.

This permanently removes your sign-in, profile, BCzap ID, profile photo, links, places, info entries, groups, contacts (in both directions), bookmarks, proposals, Crew posts and applications, notifications and their settings, push tokens, Insights events, subscription records on our side and promo-code redemptions. It does not delete other people's own content.

A store subscription is not cancelled by deleting your account. Cancel BCzap Pro in the App Store or Google Play first; the delete screen says this too.

What stays afterwards is listed in section 7 (reports, the admin audit log, link-moderation history and short-lived abuse counters).

You can also delete any single item without deleting your account. If you cannot open the app, write to support@bczapconnect.com and we will help. The steps are also on https://bczapconnect.com/support.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your data, or to object to some uses. Most of this you can do in the app. For anything else, contact support@bczapconnect.com. We answer within 30 days.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom

We use your data on these legal bases:

To provide the service you asked for (our contract with you): your account, profile, links, places, contacts, bookmarks, proposals, Crew, Insights, notifications and BCzap Pro.
Our legitimate interest in keeping BCzap safe: abuse limits, reports, blocks, moderation and the admin audit log.
Your consent: notifications and your profile photo. You can withdraw consent at any time in the app or in your device settings.
Legal obligations: when the law requires us to keep or share data.

You can also complain to your local data-protection authority.

If you are in California

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. Section 1 lists the categories we collect, section 2 why, and section 5 who helps us. You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to delete or correct it, and you will not be treated differently for using these rights. Contact support@bczapconnect.com.

10. Children

BCzap Connect is not meant for children under 13. In the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, people under 16 may use it only with a parent's or guardian's permission. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13; if we learn that we have, we delete it.

11. Security

We use access rules on every table and file, encrypted connections, and limits against abuse. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Changes

When we change this policy, we update the effective date on this page and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
