Plain-English privacy promise

Privacy Policy

What we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect the people who join the dumbest cap table on earth.

We do not sell your personal data. We use your information to run 1B, process your payment, issue your receipt number, prevent fraud, and send updates you agreed to receive.

Information we collect

Your name, display name, or handle.
Your email address and country or region.
Your receipt number, payment status, referral source, and entry timestamp.
Basic technical information such as device, browser, IP address, analytics events, and fraud-prevention signals.
Marketing preferences, including whether you agreed to receive updates.

How we use it

To process your entry and issue your receipt number.
To maintain the public race count, leaderboards, and milestones.
To send receipts, service messages, and important updates about your entry.
To send marketing updates only where you have consented or where the law allows it.
To detect fraud, abuse, duplicate entries, security issues, or payment problems.

Who we share information with

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate 1B, such as payment processors, hosting providers, email platforms, analytics tools, fraud-prevention services, and professional advisers. These providers may only use the information to provide services to us or as legally required.

Payments

Payment card details are handled by our payment provider. We do not store full card numbers on our servers. We may store payment status, transaction identifiers, receipt details, and related records needed for accounting, fraud prevention, and customer support.

Marketing

If you opt in to updates, we may contact you about race milestones, referrals, supporter options, merchandise, or related 1B announcements. You can unsubscribe from marketing messages at any time. We may still send essential service messages about your entry.

Your rights

You may request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information where legally available. Some records may need to be retained for payment, tax, fraud-prevention, accounting, dispute, or legal reasons.

Security and retention

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information. We keep information only for as long as needed to operate 1B, provide support, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain legitimate business records.
