Privacy Policy | Buds Group

Last updated: November 5, 2026

1. Who we are

Buds Group (“Buds Group”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a cannabis accounting, tax and compliance practice located at 96 Linwood Plaza 9W #421, Fort Lee, NJ 07024. You can reach us at info@budsgrp.com or (917) 768-0300.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us. When you submit a form on our site, you send us your name, email address, phone number, company name and message. Our quote form also asks which services you are interested in, your revenue range and your timeline. If you sign up for our newsletter, or tick the newsletter box on a form, you give us your email address for that purpose. We also receive the information you provide when you email or call us.
Information collected automatically. Standard log data, such as IP address, browser, device, pages visited and referrer. When you submit a form, we also record the page you sent it from, the site that referred you, any campaign (UTM) tags in the link you followed, and how long the page was open. We use your IP address and browser type to protect our forms from spam and abuse, and for that purpose our systems keep only a one-way hash of them, not the IP address itself.
Analytics. We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand how the site is used. It does not use cookies, and it reports aggregate data, such as page views and referrers, rather than profiles of individual visitors.
Cookies. Our analytics does not use cookies, and we do not store a language preference or other settings in your browser. We do not sell your personal information.

3. How we use information

To respond to your inquiry, including a one-time email confirming we received it.
To follow up with you about our services after an inquiry. You can ask us to stop at any time by replying to any of our emails or writing to info@budsgrp.com, and we will honor that request.
To deliver the services you request, and to send you proposals, engagement letters and invoices.
To send our newsletter, only if you have signed up for it or ticked the newsletter box (it is never pre-ticked). Every newsletter includes a way to unsubscribe.
To improve our website, content and marketing.
To comply with legal, accounting and professional obligations.

We share information only with service providers that help us operate the business, under appropriate confidentiality terms, or when required by law. Today these are:

Vercel: website hosting and analytics.
Supabase: storage of form submissions and our client and lead records.
Resend: sending form notifications and confirmation emails.
Microsoft 365: our business email and documents.
Anthropic: our client management system uses Anthropic’s AI to help prioritize inquiries and draft follow-up messages.

We do not sell personal information.

5. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under the GDPR, CCPA/CPRA or other laws to access, correct, delete or port your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email info@budsgrp.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

6. Data retention and security

We keep information from an inquiry that does not lead to an engagement for up to three years after our last contact with you, unless you ask us to delete it sooner. For clients, we keep records for as long as the engagement lasts and afterwards for as long as our tax, accounting and professional record-keeping obligations require. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect the information we hold.

7. Children

Our services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent change. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
