"Safe and fun summer programs for budding bikers"
Last Updated: Fall 2026
At Biking Buds, we prioritize safety and fun, and that commitment extends to the privacy of your family’s personal information. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.
1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy
We Do Not Sell Your Information: We will never sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
COPPA Compliance: We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 through our website without prior verifiable parental consent. All personal and registration information for campers must be provided by a parent or legal guardian.
2. Information We Collect
Information You Provide to Us (Personally Identifiable Information - PII)
This is the information you provide when you register, inquire, or pay for camp. This information is necessary to enroll your child and ensure their safety during the program.
Information We Collect Automatically (Non-Personal Information)
When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain data to help us improve the site and our services, like website usage data and cookies.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information exclusively for the operation of the Biking Buds camp program:
Safety and Operations: To manage camp enrollment, assign campers to appropriate skill/age groups, maintain emergency contact information, and share critical medical information with camp staff.
Communication: To send you essential updates about your registration, payment, camp logistics, weather-related changes, and other important program notices.
Marketing: To send you newsletters, promotional materials, or information about future Biking Buds programs. You can opt-out of these communications at any time.
Service Improvement: To analyze website usage patterns and customer needs to enhance our future services.
4. How We Share Your Information
We are highly selective about sharing your private data. We only share information in the following limited circumstances:
With Trusted Service Providers: We use third-party companies (such as registration platforms and payment processors) to perform necessary business functions. These partners are legally required to keep your personal information confidential and are only authorized to use it to perform the services we hired them for.
Legal Requirements: If we are required to do so by law, court order, or subpoena, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Biking Buds, our campers, or the public.
In an Emergency: To provide emergency medical or safety response when your child is in our care.
5. Data Security
We employ reasonable and industry-standard security measures, including physical, electronic, and managerial procedures, to protect the PII we collect.
Sensitive PII, such as billing and health information, is protected using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption when transmitted through our website.
While we strive to protect your information, no transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. You acknowledge and accept that you transmit information to us at your own risk.
6. Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to review and request changes to the personal information we have collected about you and your child.
