Privacy & Cookies Policy
Welcome to Prediction Buzz (accessible from predictionbuzz.com). Your privacy and data security are paramount to us. This Privacy & Cookies Policy explains exactly how we collect, use, process, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our site, browse our content, or interact with our dynamic hybrid data widgets.
By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
1. Information We Collect
We keep data collection minimal, secure, and focused entirely on optimizing your site experience. We collect information in two ways:
A. Information You Provide Voluntarily
- Contact Communications: If you contact us directly via email (e.g., support or editorial inquiries), we receive your name, email address, the contents of your message, and any attachments you choose to send.
B. Information Collected Automatically (Log Files & Analytics)
Like most modern websites, Prediction Buzz follows a standard procedure of using log files. This information is anonymous and is not linked to any personally identifiable data. It includes:
- Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
- Browser type and operating system
- Internet Service Provider (ISP)
- Date and time stamps
- Referring/exit pages and the number of clicks
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect strictly to maintain, protect, and improve our services, including:
- Operating, maintaining, and upgrading our WordPress website infrastructure.
- Understanding and analyzing how visitors interact with our prediction market reviews and content categories.
- Developing new data visualizations, comparison matrices, and functional features.
- Preventing fraudulent activities, malicious bot traffic, and ensuring site security.
- Responding to your direct emails and comments.
3. Cookies and Web Beacons
Prediction Buzz uses “cookies”—small text files stored on your device—to enhance user experience, remember user preferences, and track the pages you visit.
- Essential Cookies: Required for basic site navigation, secure loading, and keeping the website operational.
- Analytics Cookies: We use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to track anonymous aggregate user behavior. This helps us understand what articles (e.g., Kalshi or Polymarket guides) are the most popular.
- Affiliate Tracking Cookies: When you click on an external link to a prediction exchange reviewed on our site, a local tracking cookie is placed by that partner network. This identifies you as having originated from Prediction Buzz so we can receive our referral commission. These cookies operate entirely under the third-party platforms’ independent privacy architectures.
4. Third-Party Privacy Policies & External Embeds
Our site contains dynamic, hybrid client-side embeds (such as TradingView market tickers or Polymarket contract embeds). When these elements load in your browser, they may interact with your device independently.
Prediction Buzz’s Privacy Policy does not apply to external advertisers, exchanges, or other websites. We strongly advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party platforms (e.g., Kalshi, Polymarket, TradingView) for more detailed information regarding their data practices and opt-out instructions.
5. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA Compliance)
Depending on your geographic location, you are entitled to specific data protection rights regarding your personal information:
- The Right to Access / Know: You have the right to request copies of any personal data we hold about you.
- The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
- The Right to Erasure / Deletion: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
- The Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: We do not sell user data. However, you have the absolute right to restrict any data sharing for target profiling or programmatic advertising.
If you wish to make a request or exercise any of these structural rights, please contact our data compliance officer at privacy@predictionbuzz.com.
6. Children’s Privacy Protection
Prediction Buzz does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 18. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately, and we will perform our best efforts to promptly remove such records from our systems.
