Privacy & Terms
Last updated: October 4, 2026
Privacy Policy
Short version: No account, no email, no password. We don't sell your information, we don't run ads and we don't use cookies.
Your session
- When you save a session you get three words. Your lists, notes, tags and crossed-off businesses are saved under those words so you can pick them up on another device. Anyone with your three words can open your session, so keep them private.
- Your work is also kept in your own browser.
- A session not used for 30 days is deleted. It is kept 90 more days in case you want it back, then erased for good. You can delete your session yourself any time on Session info.
What you send us
- The admin can view feedback, buyer requests, and all data you send for approval, but the data is anonymous. Nothing is connected to you, your identity or your IP address, and we do not request locations. The information is only linked to a session code. The only personal information we ever ask for is when you verify a business, and it's still optional: the verification will submit without it. You could even enter a fake username and it wouldn't matter.
- Free key: your answers about the business you called are kept with your session. If the admin approves them, they may become public information in the directory.
Site use
- We count page visits and taps to improve the site, using a random ID made in your browser. We don't keep your IP address with it. Visit-by-visit records are kept 90 days. After that only daily totals remain.
Protecting the directory
- To stop people copying the directory, we keep a one-way scrambled fingerprint of the address each directory load comes from (never the address itself) for 90 days.
- When a session is made, or someone asks for one back, we keep the same one-way scrambled fingerprint of the address it came from (never the address itself), to stop one person making many sessions and to find the session asked for.
- Rate limits check your IP address in memory only. It isn't saved.
- Our hosting provider, Railway, keeps standard server logs, which include IP addresses.
Cloudflare Turnstile
We use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that someone creating a session or sending a free-key check is a person, not a bot. It runs in the background and looks at your browser and device for that check. Its use is covered by Cloudflare's Privacy Policy and the Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
Where it's kept
On Railway servers in California, USA. Backups are kept up to about 4 weeks.
Terms of Use
- What this is: Who Be Buyin'? is a free directory of Phoenix-area businesses that buy second-hand items. Using the site means you agree to these terms.
- Call first: Listings come from public information and from people who use the site, so they can be out of date. Always call before you go. We don't own or run the businesses listed, and we're not part of any deal you make with them.
- No guarantees: The site is provided as is. We're not responsible for prices offered, losses, or disputes with a business.
- For your own use: Don't copy, scrape or collect the directory with bots or scripts, resell it, or try to get around the free key, rate limits or bot check. We may end a key or session that does.
- What you send: Send only honest information. By sending something for admin approval, you let us add it to the directory. Don't send anything unlawful or abusive, or anyone else's private information. What you send: Send only honest information. By sending notes, tags, hours or verifications, you let us use them to keep the directory up to date. Don't send anything unlawful or abusive, or anyone else's private information.
- Your three words: Keep them private. Anyone with them can open your session.
- Changes: If we change these terms it will be because of attempted abuse on the website, and not because we are trying to fuck you over somehow. You're not the only ones sick of big companies changing terms for money. Also we can't guarantee this service will be free forever it depends on how much it cost to run the site compared to how many people use it. But for now, it's free. All changed terms will have a link to its previous version.
- Law: Arizona law applies.
What's yours
Nothing you change is shared with other users or placed in the directory for public view unless you choose to send it to the admin for approval. Everything below is saved in your session:
- On any listing: personal tags and notes; phone, website and address; business hours and buying hours; Good fit / Not a good fit tags, what they accept and shop type; "Business closed" marks; verifications.
- In your lists: your lists, their names and pictures; the queue; crossed-off businesses; notes on a business within a list.
- Your session: your three words and your free key. You can delete it all on Session info.
When something goes public
Something you add shows in the public directory only when you answer Yes to "Do you want to share this?" (or tick "Share with the directory" on a verification) and the admin approves it. On Session info you choose how that question is answered: Ask every time, Always send, or Never send (session only). You can also follow each one (Awaiting admin review, Approved or Rejected) and withdraw it. Once approved, it's part of the directory for everyone.
