Sunshine Coast Bicycle User Group (SCBUG) Privacy Statement

The Sunshine Coast Bicycle User Group (SCBUG) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal information is handled safely and transparently.

1. What Information We Collect

We keep our data collection to a minimum. We only collect:

  • Your name

  • Your email address

  • Your postcode

2. Why We Collect It

We collect this information for two specific reasons:

  • To send you our newsletter, updates, and campaign information.

  • To understand the general geographic distribution of our supporters across the Sunshine Coast region, which helps us advocate more effectively for local cycling infrastructure.

3. How Your Data is Managed and Stored

We do not run our own independent databases. Your data is handled securely through established third-party services:

  • Sender: Our primary subscriber database lives within Sender, a dedicated email marketing platform where we manage our newsletter lists.

  • Squarespace: If you get in touch with us using the contact form on our website, that information passes temporarily through Squarespace before being processed.

  • No Sale or Trade: We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third parties.

4. Managing Your Information & Opting Out

You have total control over your data:

  • Unsubscribing: Every newsletter we send includes a clear, automated "unsubscribe" link at the bottom. Clicking this will instantly remove you from our mailing list.

  • Access and Corrections: If you want to know what details we have on file for you, or if you need to correct or completely delete your information from our systems, please get in touch with us directly via our website contact form.

5. Changes to This Statement

We may update this privacy statement from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or operational tools. Any updates will be posted directly to this page.
