Payment Privacy

When real money is involved, security matters more than ever. If you ever purchase Orbs in Buddzy, you might wonder who exactly is handling your payment information. The short answer is — not us. Buddzy never sees, processes, or stores your credit card details. All financial transactions are handled entirely by Apple and Google's payment systems, and here is why that is great news for you.

How It Works

When you buy Orbs in Buddzy, the payment flow looks like this:

1. You tap to purchase — Select the Orb package you want inside the app
2. Apple or Google takes over — Your device's native payment system (App Store or Google Play) handles the entire transaction
3. Authentication happens on their side — Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint, or password verification is processed by Apple or Google, not Buddzy
4. Orbs are delivered — Once the payment is confirmed by the platform, Buddzy receives a "payment successful" signal and credits your Orbs
5. That is it — Buddzy never touches your financial data at any point in this process

What Buddzy Never Sees

Let's spell it out clearly:

• No credit card numbers — Your card details are stored by Apple or Google, never by Buddzy
• No bank account information — We have zero access to your financial accounts
• No billing address — That stays between you and the platform
• No payment method details — Whether you pay with a card, carrier billing, or gift card balance, Buddzy does not know or care

Bank-Level Security by Design

Apple and Google's payment systems meet the highest payment security standards in the industry. Because Buddzy delegates all payment processing to them, your Orb purchases are protected by the same security that covers every transaction across the App Store and Google Play.

Pro Tips

• Manage your payment methods through your Apple or Google account settings, not through Buddzy.
• Check your App Store or Google Play purchase history for receipts — Buddzy does not generate separate invoices.
• If you have a payment issue, Apple or Google support is your first stop since they handle the transaction end to end.

Good to Know

This is one of those areas where doing less is actually doing more. By keeping our hands completely off your financial data, we keep you safer than we ever could by trying to manage it ourselves.
