Privacy
This notice explains what AusBus collects on this pre-launch site, why we collect it, where it lives, and what you can ask us to do with it. Plain English. No dark patterns.
What we collect
When you join the waitlist we record:
- Your email address.
- A short tag (e.g.
instagram,linkedin) that tells us which link you arrived from. The tag comes from the URL you clicked, not from any tracking cookie. - The date and time you joined.
We don't collect your name, location, or browser fingerprint. We don't set any analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies on this page. Your IP address is briefly used to rate-limit the form (so bots can't hammer it) but is never written to the database.
Why we collect it
One purpose only: to email you once when AusBus launches, and to understand which channels brought interested travellers to the site. We don't profile, segment, or score you.
Where it lives
Email addresses are stored in a database hosted by Supabase. The site is served by Vercel. Both providers may process data on servers located in the United States or other regions outside Australia. We choose providers that publish their security and data-handling practices, but you should know that disclosure to those overseas processors is part of using AusBus.
Who can see it
Only AusBus. We do not sell your email, share it with operators, partners, or marketing networks, or use it for anything other than the launch announcement.
How long we keep it
Until we've announced the launch to the waitlist and finished following up on it — or until you ask us to remove you, whichever comes first. We don't commit to a fixed cut-off in days because the launch date is still moving, but the purpose is bounded: the launch announcement and nothing else.
Changing your mind
Email hello@aus-bus.com at any time and we'll remove you from the waitlist. The launch email itself will also include an unsubscribe link, as required by the Spam Act 2003 (Cth).
Access, correction, complaints
You can ask us what we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, by emailing hello@aus-bus.com. If you're an Australian resident and we don't resolve a privacy concern, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Changes to this notice
If anything material changes, we'll update the date at the top and, where the change matters to people already on the waitlist, tell you in the launch email.
