Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
1. Information We Collect
Public surface (no account required): When you search without an account, we do not store your search queries. We log clickout events (which products you click through to buy) with anonymized data including: merchant domain, affiliate handler used, browser user-agent, and a hashed IP address. We do not associate this data with any personal identity.
Registered accounts: When you create an account, we collect your phone number (for authentication), and any information you provide in your procurement requests. Your search history and vendor interactions are stored to provide the workspace experience.
2. How We Use Your Information
- • To provide search results from retail APIs and our vendor network
- • To facilitate introductions between you and vendors (when you request a quote)
- • To track affiliate clickouts for revenue attribution (anonymized for non-logged-in users)
- • To improve our search ranking and recommendation algorithms
- • To communicate with you about your account and requests
3. Affiliate Links & Third-Party Services
Some links on BuyAnything are affiliate links. When you click through to a retailer (e.g., Amazon, eBay), the retailer may collect information about your visit according to their own privacy policy. We may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in these limited circumstances: with vendors you explicitly request an introduction to, with service providers necessary to operate the platform (hosting, email delivery), and when required by law.
5. Cookies
We use a session cookie (sa_session) for authentication. We use the Skimlinks script for universal affiliate link conversion. No tracking cookies are used for non-logged-in users beyond what is necessary for affiliate attribution.
6. Vendor Privacy
Vendor contact information (email addresses, phone numbers) is never displayed on public pages. Only business name, description, and website URL are shown publicly. Contact is facilitated through our platform, not by exposing vendor PII.
