This Privacy Policy explains how Buddy’s Bagels (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit buddysflorida.com (the “Site”), place an order, purchase a gift card, book catering, or otherwise interact with us. For details on cookies specifically, see our Cookie Policy.

4. Third Parties We Work With
We share information with the following categories of third-party service providers, only as needed to operate our business:

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for money. Some data sharing with advertising partners (like Meta and Google) may be considered a “sale” or “share” under certain state privacy laws — see Section 6 for your rights.
5. Children’s Privacy
Our Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the Site itself.
