Plain answers about your data, your subscription, and your money. Last updated August 2, 2026.

A quick, honest note. Bizby is a guidance and motivation tool, not a guarantee of income. We help you learn and take steps. We do not promise you will make money, and nothing here is financial, legal, tax, or professional business advice.

Privacy Policy

Effective August 2, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Bizby (“Bizby”, “we”, “us”) collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. Bizby is operated by Henry Byrne (“the Company”), and is available at bizby.co and through our mobile apps (together, the “Service”). If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Service.

1. Who we are and how to contact us

The data controller for your information is Henry Byrne, PO Box 2662, New York, NY 10014. For any privacy question or to exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@bizby.co.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us:

  • Account details, such as your email address, or the identifier from a social sign-in (for example Apple or Google).
  • Your quiz answers, goals, interests, skills, and other onboarding responses.
  • What you type to the idea bot, including interests, draft ideas, and chat messages.
  • Your progress, completed steps, streak, chosen idea, and notification preferences.
  • Messages you send to support.

Information we collect automatically: how you use the Service, device and app information, approximate location from your IP address, identifiers from cookies and analytics SDKs, and push notification tokens if you allow notifications.

Information from third parties: social sign-in providers (a basic profile and email), Stripe (your web subscription and payment status), the Apple App Store or Google Play (your in-app subscription status), and RevenueCat, which manages and verifies your mobile subscription status on our behalf.

Payment information. On the web, payments are processed by Stripe. In the iPhone or Android app, purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. In every case we do not receive or store your full payment card number. We receive only confirmation of your subscription status.

3. How we use your information

  • To provide the Service: generate your business ideas, build and personalize your roadmap, run the idea bot, and save your progress and streak. This involves sending what you tell us to our AI provider, as described in section 4.
  • To manage your account and your subscription status.
  • To send you daily and weekly step reminders and other Service messages, where you have allowed them.
  • To respond to support requests, measure and improve the Service, keep it safe, and comply with legal obligations.

4. AI features and the idea bot

Bizby is built on AI. We use Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, PBC, to generate your business ideas, to write your personalized roadmap and the content of each step, and to produce the idea bot's replies. These are core features of the Service, not optional extras, so using Bizby means your information is processed by this third-party AI service.

What we send to Anthropic. To generate that content we send Anthropic the information you give us, including your quiz and onboarding answers (your goals, interests, skills, available time and budget), the messages you type to the idea bot, and the idea and roadmap context needed to continue where you left off. We also send the first name or display name you chose, so the idea bot can address you by name. We do not send Anthropic your email address, your password, or any payment details.

How Anthropic handles it. Anthropic acts as our service provider (processor) under contract and processes this information only to return a response to us. Under Anthropic's commercial API terms, inputs and outputs are not used to train its models by default. Anthropic may retain data for a limited period for safety, abuse detection, and legal compliance. You can read Anthropic's privacy policy at anthropic.com/legal/privacy.

What this means for you. Please do not enter sensitive personal information (for example health, financial account, or government ID details) into the quiz or the idea bot. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or similar to output shown to other users, and no person at Bizby reviews every response before you see it, so always check it before relying on it. These AI features do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you. We may use de-identified or aggregated inputs and outputs to improve the Service.

5. Legal bases for processing (EEA and UK)

Where the EU or UK GDPR applies, we rely on performance of a contract, your consent (which you can withdraw), our legitimate interests, and legal obligation.

6. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers (processors) who work for us under contract, with Stripe and the app stores for payment processing, for legal and safety reasons, in a business transfer, or with your consent. Our main service providers are Anthropic (the AI that generates ideas, roadmap content, and chat replies; see section 4), Supabase (database hosting), Stripe (web payments), and RevenueCat with the Apple App Store and Google Play (mobile subscriptions).

7. Notifications, cookies and analytics

If you allow them, we send push notifications with your next step and weekly check-ins; you control frequency and can turn them off any time. On our website we use cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality and to understand usage, and analytics SDKs in our apps; where required we ask for your consent.

8. Progress sync and data retention

Your quiz answers, roadmap progress, streak, and chosen idea are stored in our database (hosted by Supabase) so you can pick up where you left off on any device. This data is tied to your account and is not shared with other users. We keep your information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service. After you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we must keep certain records to meet legal obligations.

9. Security and international transfers

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information, such as encryption in transit and access controls. No method is completely secure. Where we transfer personal data out of the EEA or UK, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

10. Your privacy rights

EEA and UK residents may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. California residents (CCPA/CPRA) may have the right to know, delete, and correct, to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” (we do not sell), and to limit use of sensitive personal information. To exercise any right, email privacy@bizby.co.

11. Children

Bizby is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

12. Changes and contact

We may update this policy from time to time and will update the date above for material changes. Questions? Email privacy@bizby.co.
