Privacy Policy

How Buck Services collects, uses, and protects your personal information

We collect only what we need to provide our services — and we never sell your data.

Last updated: August 20, 2026

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how Buck Services (“Buck Services,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the parent company of Arryvz, collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit buck.services, create an account, use our client portal, or engage our IT consulting services.

By using our website and services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you are a California resident, please also review our California Privacy Rights (CCPA) Notice.

Information We Collect

Information you provide to us

  • Account registration: first and last name, username, email address, and a password (stored only as a secure cryptographic hash — we never store your plaintext password).
  • Contact and lead forms: name, email address, phone number, company, and the contents of your message when you contact us or request services.
  • Mobile number and SMS consent (optional): if you choose to enroll in our transactional text messaging program, we collect your mobile number and a record of your consent (date, time, and the number enrolled). See our SMS Program & Policy for full details.
  • Client engagement information: business and billing details you provide in the course of a consulting engagement.

Information collected automatically

  • Session cookies: we use cookies to keep you signed in and to pass messages between pages (for example, a “registration successful” notice). These are essential to the operation of the site.
  • Server logs: our web server records standard access information such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps, which we use for security monitoring and troubleshooting.
  • Spam protection: our forms use Google reCAPTCHA, which may collect device and interaction data to distinguish humans from bots. reCAPTCHA is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

How We Use Your Information

  • Create and manage your account, including email verification and password resets
  • Provide, operate, and improve our services and client portal
  • Respond to inquiries and service requests
  • Send transactional notifications you have opted into (account, invoice, and security alerts)
  • Protect the security and integrity of our website and accounts
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

Mobile Information & Text Messaging

If you opt in to our transactional SMS program, your mobile number is used solely to deliver one-time passcodes and account service notifications as described in our SMS Program & Policy.

No mobile information will be sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except for the messaging service providers required to deliver the messages on our behalf.

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message, adjusting your notification settings, or emailing support@buck.services.

When We Share Information

We share personal information only with the service providers that operate our infrastructure on our behalf, under agreements limiting their use of your data to providing those services:

  • Amazon Web Services — website hosting and database infrastructure
  • Microsoft — delivery of system emails (verification, password reset, notifications)
  • Twilio — delivery of transactional text messages to enrolled numbers
  • Google — reCAPTCHA spam protection on our forms

We may also disclose information if required by law, to respond to valid legal process, to protect the rights, safety, or property of Buck Services or others, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information).

Data Retention

  • Account information is retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with legal, tax, and audit obligations.
  • Contact and lead submissions are retained as long as needed to respond to and follow up on your inquiry.
  • SMS consent records are retained for compliance purposes even after you opt out, so we can demonstrate that consent was given.
  • Server logs are retained on a rolling basis for security monitoring and then deleted.

How We Protect Your Information

Encryption in transit

All traffic to our website is encrypted with HTTPS/TLS.

Password hashing

Passwords are stored using one-way cryptographic hashing and are never kept in plaintext.

Access controls

Production systems are access-restricted, and databases are isolated from public access.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

Your Rights & Choices

  • Access and correction: you can review and update your account details from your dashboard, or ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Deletion: you may request deletion of your account and associated personal information, subject to records we are required to keep by law.
  • Notification choices: you can opt out of text messages at any time (see SMS Program & Policy). Transactional emails such as verification and password-reset messages are necessary to operate your account.
  • Cookies: you can block cookies in your browser, though the sign-in features of the site will not function without session cookies.

To exercise any of these rights, email support@buck.services. California residents have additional rights described in our CCPA Notice.

Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for businesses and adults, and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us at support@buck.services and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page, and continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
