Privacy Policy
Version 1.1 · Effective November 11, 2026
DunkBuzz uses the minimum information needed to create your account, keep your saved episodes, rank episodes by listening, and play the podcasts you choose. We do not sell or share your personal information.
1. Who we are
DunkBuzz is operated by Tindlo Inc. (주식회사 틴들로), 6F, Unit 2, 85 Seonyu-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul 07279, Republic of Korea (“DunkBuzz,” “we,” “us”). This policy covers the DunkBuzz iOS and Android apps, www.dunkbuzz.com, and support (the “Service”).
2. What we collect and why
| Data | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| Email address and password (account holders only) | Verification, sign-in, password reset, account and support messages | Until you delete your account |
| Birth month and year | Only to confirm you are 13 or older | Until you delete your account |
| Display name and favorite team (optional) | Your profile | Until you change it or delete your account |
| Saved episode list (title, show, links, time saved) | Sync your saved episodes across devices | Until you remove it or delete your account |
| Listening events: episode, whether 30+ seconds were played, playback errors, and a random install ID stored only as a one-way hash | DunkBuzz Rank and fixing broken episodes | Duplicate-check records 6 hours; daily totals 60 days |
| Standard request data (IP address, device/browser type, time) | Security, abuse prevention, delivering the Service | Up to 30 days in logs |
You can browse and listen without an account. We do not use advertising identifiers, do not track you across other companies' apps or websites, and the website uses no advertising or analytics cookies.
3. Playback
Audio is streamed directly from each podcast publisher's server; DunkBuzz does not store or re-distribute audio. The publisher's host (and any measurement service the publisher uses) receives a standard request from your device, including your IP address, under its own policy.
4. Where your data is stored (international transfer)
All DunkBuzz data is stored in the United States on Amazon Web Services in the US West (Oregon, us-west-2) region. If you use DunkBuzz from Korea or another country, your information is transferred to and processed in the United States for the purposes above. Recipient: Amazon Web Services, Inc. (cloud hosting, identity, email delivery). Transfer method: encrypted network transmission when you use the Service. You may refuse the transfer by not creating an account or by deleting it; listening without an account still sends listening events without personal identifiers.
5. Sharing
We share information only with service providers that operate the Service for us (AWS for hosting, identity and email), or when required by law. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
6. Your rights and deletion
Delete your account in the app (Profile → Delete account) or see /delete-account. Deletion permanently removes your account, profile and synced saved list. You may also ask us to access, correct, or delete your information at dunkbuzz@tindlo.com.
California residents (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know, delete, and correct personal information and to opt out of sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Korea (Personal Information Protection Act): you may request access, correction, deletion, or suspension of processing. Privacy officer: Privacy Officer, Tindlo Inc., dunkbuzz@tindlo.com.
7. Security
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is restricted, and sign-in tokens are kept in your device's secure storage. No service can guarantee absolute security.
8. Children
DunkBuzz is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
9. Changes
We post changes here with a new version and effective date, and update the app and store listings the same day.
