Privacy Policy

How Bubo handles information.

This policy explains what Bubo collects for the marketing site, waitlist, private preview, contact form, analytics, and Bubo Boards.

Last updated: June 26, 2026

This policy is a practical baseline for a private-preview product and should be reviewed by counsel before broader launch.

Information we collect

  • Contact and waitlist details, such as name, email, intended use, nomination details, and messages you submit.
  • Account and authentication information needed to send magic links, manage invites, and keep sessions secure.
  • Mobile phone numbers and SMS consent records if you provide a phone number and opt into a Bubo text messaging program.
  • Bubo Board content, such as source URLs, plans, comments, votes, availability, people, and coordination state you choose to add.
  • Device, browser, and usage information from essential service logs and optional analytics when you allow analytics cookies.

How we use information

We use information to operate Bubo, manage the private preview, provide Bubo Boards, authenticate users, respond to requests, improve product quality, prevent abuse, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations.

Bubo is designed around local-first browser and app behavior where practical. Optional analytics is not initialized unless you allow it and your browser is not sending a global privacy control signal.

Sharing

We share information with service providers that help operate Bubo, such as hosting, authentication, database, email, and analytics providers. We do not sell personal information. If future Bubo features involve partner referrals or sponsored placements, they should be clearly labeled and handled through the privacy choices described here.

Bubo does not sell or share mobile phone numbers, mobile opt-in data, or SMS consent records with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

Cookies and analytics

Essential cookies support sign-in, security, and saved preferences. Optional analytics cookies are used only when you allow them. You can update choices on the privacy choices page or read the cookie policy.

SMS privacy

If you opt into a Bubo text messaging program, message frequency varies based on the program and your use of Bubo. Standard message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP to opt out of a text messaging program at any time or reply HELP for assistance.

Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including service operation, security, legal compliance, dispute handling, and product administration. Waitlist, contact, and private-preview records may be deleted or anonymized when they are no longer needed.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, restrict, or object to processing of personal information. You may also have the right to opt out of sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising and to avoid discrimination for exercising privacy rights.

Use privacy choices to manage cookies and data-rights requests, or contact us with the email tied to the request.

Security

We use technical and organizational safeguards appropriate for a private-preview product. No online service can guarantee perfect security, so avoid submitting highly sensitive information unless it is necessary for the specific request.

Children

Bubo is not intended for children under 13. Do not submit personal information about a child unless you have the legal authority to do so and the product flow specifically supports it.
