This Privacy Policy explains what personal information MetroBud NYC (“MetroBud”, “we”, “us”) collects through https://metrobudnyc.com/ (the “Site”), how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the choices you have. It applies to the Site, your MetroBud account, your orders and deliveries, and the emails and messages we send you. Questions: contact@metrobudnyc.com.
Google user data (Sign in with Google)
The MetroBud app (“MetroBud”, the Google sign-in for metrobudnyc.com) lets you create an account or log in to metrobudnyc.com with your Google account. This section explains exactly how MetroBud accesses, uses, stores, shares, retains and deletes Google user data.
What Google user data we access
When you choose “Continue with Google” and give permission on Google’s consent screen, MetroBud requests only the openid, email and profile scopes and receives:
- your name,
- your email address,
- your profile picture, and
- your Google account ID.
MetroBud does not request or access your Gmail, Google Drive, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, location history, or any other Google data.
How we use Google user data
We use this data only to:
- create your MetroBud customer account, or log you into your existing account that uses the same email address,
- fill in your name and email address on your account, and
- show your profile picture on your account.
We do not use Google user data for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
How we store and protect Google user data
Your name, email address, profile picture and Google account ID are stored in your MetroBud customer account in our website database on our secured web server. The site is served over HTTPS, and access to the database is limited to the staff who run orders and customer support.
How we share Google user data
We do not share, sell, rent or transfer Google user data to third parties, except: our web hosting provider, which stores our database on our behalf; when you ask us to; or when required by law. Your name and the email on your account may be used to fulfill and support your orders as described in this policy.
How long we keep Google user data and how to delete it
We keep Google user data for as long as your MetroBud account exists. You can remove MetroBud’s access to your Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. To delete your account and all Google user data we hold, email contact@metrobudnyc.com from the email on your account; we delete it and confirm by email within 30 days, except records we must keep by law (such as order records).
Limited Use
MetroBud’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

How long we keep your information
We keep account and order information for as long as your account is open and as long as needed for order records, fraud prevention, tax and legal requirements.
