The short version: We collect your email address when you join the waitlist. We use it only to notify you when BibBuddy launches. We don't sell your data, we don't spam you, and you can unsubscribe any time.
BibBuddy is a peer-to-peer marketplace for runners, connecting people who want to exchange race bibs and find race weekend accommodation. BibBuddy is operated from Brisbane, Australia. References to "we", "us", or "BibBuddy" in this policy refer to the BibBuddy platform and its operators.
