Privacy Policy

besot is operated by Pizza Robot Studios LLC, 3705 W Pico Blvd #B, Los Angeles, CA 90019, United States. Questions about this policy, and any request about your data, go to [email protected].

When you ask us to hunt someone through the request form, we store the name you sent and your email address so we can tell you when that person goes live.

besot has no accounts today, so there is nothing to sign into and no profile held about you. Pieces you obsess over are kept in your own browser, not by us. If accounts arrive, this policy will be updated before they do.

When you browse besot, our analytics records the pages you visit, the device and browser you use, and the referring site that brought you here. This data is aggregated and used to improve the site. It is not sold.

To be credited for purchases we refer, besot works with affiliate networks. Today that is the eBay Partner Network, for eBay listings. These networks may set cookies so that a purchase you make after clicking a listing can be attributed back to besot. They record that a referral happened and basic technical details, not who you are. We do not receive your name, payment information, or the specifics of what you bought. The resale platform you click through to may also set its own cookies at that point, under its own privacy policy. As we connect more platforms and networks, this policy will be updated with them.

When you ask besot to alert you about a piece, we store your email address, the piece, and the colorway and size if you chose them. We also keep when the alert was set, confirmed, last sent and stopped. We hold nothing else about you: there is no account and no password.

We send one email to confirm. Nothing else is sent until you tap its link, and an alert that is not confirmed is deleted after 7 days. A confirmed alert stays on until you stop it. Every alert email has a link that stops that alert, a link that stops all of them, and a link to a page of your alerts that only your emails carry. A stop takes effect at once.

Alert emails are sent through Resend, our email provider, which handles your address in order to deliver them and tells us whether an email was delivered or returned. An alert email links to the seller's listing through the same link the site uses, so a tap on it is counted, without your address, like any other tap on a listing. The list of alert addresses is never shown, shared or sold.

When you confirm an alert or open a link from one of our alert emails, your browser keeps that page's private link, so WATCHING on besot opens your alerts. Clearing the site's data removes it. On another device you can type your address and we email the link to it.

Obsessing over a piece is anonymous. The pieces you obsess over are kept in your own browser. We count each tap, with the piece and an anonymous visitor id, to see which pieces are most wanted. That count is not tied to an email address.

When you visit besot we keep a record of the visit under a random id: the pages you open, anything you search for, and the listings you click through to. It holds no name or email address, and it is deleted after 13 months. We use it to see how people find besot and what they look for.

Your email is used to send the alerts and digests you opt into, and to reach you about your account. We do not sell your email address. We do not rent, trade, or share it with advertisers.

Aggregated usage data helps us decide which collaborations to prioritize, which features to build, and which editorial directions to take. No individual profile is surfaced to our team or to any partner.

Those same aggregate patterns, which pieces are searched for, which collections have the deepest demand, may be shared or licensed as market insight to brands and platforms. This is always aggregate. It never identifies you, your account, your email, or your individual activity.

besot does not sell your personal information, does not share your email address with sellers or platforms, and does not build advertising profiles. When you click out to a listing you are on that platform, under its own privacy policy.

besot is not built for children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16.

We use 16 because it is the highest age of digital consent set anywhere besot is available, and we apply it everywhere rather than varying by country. Some countries set 13, 14 or 15; holding to the strictest of them means this promise says the same thing wherever you are reading it.

If you believe a child has given us their information, email [email protected] and we will delete it. We do not require proof and we will not ask you to justify the request.

besot does not set a login cookie today, because there is no account to log into yet. Your obsessions and saved pieces are kept in your own browser's local storage. They stay on your device, they are never sent to us, and clearing your browser data clears them.

Our analytics is first-party and does not follow you to other sites. We set one cookie of our own, bs_sid, a random identifier with no name or email attached, so we can count a visit or a click once rather than many times; it lasts a year and you can clear it with your browser data. When you click a listing we also set a short-lived token that expires in ninety seconds, which only tells us the click came from a person rather than a bot.

We use that identifier to see, without knowing who you are, which pages a visitor reads, what they search for, which listings they click, how they found besot and whether they come back. We do not record your name, your email or your IP address with it. We keep the country a visit comes from, and nothing finer than the country.

If you are in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we do not set bs_sid until you say yes. We ask once, in a bar at the bottom of the page, and saying no is one click. We remember your answer in a second cookie, bs_ok, for a year. Until you say yes, a page you read is still counted, but nothing links it to the next page or to your next visit.

Affiliate networks may set cookies through our site so a later purchase can be credited to us. They identify a referral, not you personally.

The resale platform you click through to may also set its own affiliate cookies, not besot. These typically persist for 30 days and allow besot to be credited for purchases you make during that window.

You can disable cookies in your browser. Doing so will not prevent you from browsing or reading besot.

Request-form data, the name you sent and your email, is kept until the person goes live and we have told you, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first. Email [email protected] and we will erase it within 30 days.

When accounts exist, account data will be kept for as long as the account is active and deletable on request. This policy will be updated before that happens.

Analytics events (a page read, a search, a click) are kept with the bs_sid identifier described above for 13 months, and are then deleted. Clearing the bs_sid cookie breaks the link between you and every earlier event.

besot is operated from the United States and the providers we use process data there. Hosting, storage, and the database holding request-form entries are Cloudflare. Our mailboxes are Google Workspace, and the notification raised by a request form is delivered through Resend.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, that means your information is transferred outside your region. We rely on the standard contractual clauses those providers offer for such transfers.

You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email [email protected]. We respond within 30 days.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have additional rights under GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA respectively. Those rights are honored regardless of where you live.

A photograph is a different kind of request and has a faster route: image removal takes one email, requires no proof, and is actioned the same day.

We update this page when what we do changes, and the date at the top always reflects the last change. If a change materially affects how we handle your information, we will say so on the page rather than only changing the date.
