This Privacy Policy explains how BuyWendy’s collects, uses, and shares information when you visit buywendys.com. The short version: we run a content website with advertising. We use cookies and third-party ad partners (including Google AdSense) that may collect data to show relevant ads. We collect basic analytics, and an email address only if you choose to subscribe. We do not sell your personal information.
Who we are
BuyWendy’s is an independent publisher of opinion and commentary about The Wendy’s Company (NASDAQ: WEN). We are not affiliated with The Wendy’s Company. The site is operated from the United States by Edmond Industries LLC.
What we collect
Information you give us: your email address (only if you subscribe) and anything you type into “Ask Ben” or the Contact page.
Information collected automatically: IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring URL, and time on page, via cookies and similar technologies, plus approximate (IP-based) location.
Cookies and advertising (Google AdSense)
We use cookies to operate the site, remember preferences, measure traffic, and serve ads. Google AdSense and other partners use cookies (including the Google advertising cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites.
You can opt out of personalized Google ads at Google Ads Settings, and manage other vendors at aboutads.info (US) or Your Online Choices (EU).
Where required (EEA and UK), we request consent for non-essential cookies and personalized ads via a consent banner before such cookies are set. You can change or withdraw consent at any time.
Analytics
We may use Google Analytics or similar tools to understand aggregate usage. You can opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Email and the newsletter
If you subscribe to “The Friday Frosty,” we use your email to send periodic updates through a third-party email provider. Every email has an unsubscribe link. We do not sell your email address.
The “Ask Ben” chat
When the live version is enabled, text you submit is sent to a third-party AI provider through our server to generate a reply. Do not enter sensitive personal or financial information. Chat provides opinion and information only, never financial advice.
How we use information
- To operate and improve the site
- To display and measure advertising
- To send the newsletter you requested
- To respond to your messages
- To prevent fraud and abuse
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell personal information. We share it only with service providers (advertising, analytics, email, hosting, AI) or as required by law.
Your choices and rights
You can control cookies through your browser and the ad-personalization links above, and unsubscribe through any newsletter email.
Depending on where you live (for example, California under CCPA/CPRA, or the EEA and UK under GDPR), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or limit use of your data, and to opt out of targeted advertising. Contact us through the Contact page to exercise them. We will not discriminate against you for doing so.
Data retention
We keep newsletter subscriptions until you unsubscribe. Contact messages are retained as long as needed to respond and keep a record of corrections. Analytics data is retained according to the provider’s default retention settings.
Children
The site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13 (16 in the EEA and UK). We do not knowingly collect their data.

We may update this policy. Material changes are reflected by the “Last updated” date at the top. Questions? Use the Contact page.
