  1. What is the scope of this Privacy Notice?

This Privacy Notice applies to all visitors and users of the RunBuggy Services. 

The RunBuggy Services may utilize or contain links and references to other websites or services administered by third parties (“Third-Party Services”). This Privacy Notice does not apply to such Third-Party Services.

We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the privacy and security practices of any linked Third-Party Services before providing any Personal Information on that website.

This Privacy Notice also does not apply to Personal Information about RunBuggy applicants for employment, which is collected via a Third-Party Service, or Personal Information about RunBuggy employees, contractors, and other RunBuggy temporary workers, which are addressed through internal company policies and procedures.

We do NOT directly collect the following categories of Personal Information:

Accordingly, the applicable Payment Processor will collect your contact information when you pay for Transport Services or receive payment for Transport Services, such as your name, e-mail address, phone number and mailing address. Your billing information is also collected and stored by the Payment Processor. If you are paying by bank debit or credit card, the Payment Processor will collect your credit card number, expiration, three-digit security code and billing zip code. The Payment Processor will share your transaction information with us so that we can track payment status for the Transport Service but will not provide us your card or banking information. The Payment Processor will retain your payment information in encrypted form on its servers. We do not collect or store your card or bank information on our servers. Our Payment Processors’ privacy policies can be found at https://stripe.com/us/privacyand https://routable.com/legal/privacy.

There are certain categories of Personal Information that RunBuggy does not collect. “Sensitive Personal Information” is any data that reveals your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, or that involves genetic or biometric data or data concerning health or sexual orientation. We do not collect any Sensitive Personal Information from you and ask that you please do not provide Sensitive Personal Information to us if not necessary for us to provide the RunBuggy Services. Please note that we do collect precise geolocation through the RunBuggy Services, which some states consider to be “Sensitive Personal Information.” However, we only use the precise geolocation for the provision of the RunBuggy Services and for no other purpose.
