Privacy
Your race archive is private by default.
Bib Book stores your bibs, medals, race details, and result matches so you can keep a personal running archive. The app is not a public race profile and does not post to social accounts.
Last updated September 7, 2026
What we store
Uploaded bib and medal photos, cleaned display images, thumbnails, image paths for bulk imports, race names, dates, distances, bib numbers, finish times, locations, linked medals, unit preference, and race-match names you add in settings.
How photos are processed
When you add a bib or medal, the app may send the image to model providers used by Bib Book to read the bib, crop or clean the image, and prepare suggested details. Cleaned images and originals are saved to your account as processing finishes so long-running imports are not lost. Suggested details can be wrong, and you can edit them.
Race result lookup
To look for official results, Bib Book may use the race name, year, bib number, and athlete names from your profile settings. A match is applied automatically only when the bib number, race and year all agree; anything weaker waits for you to confirm it.
Who can see it
Your saved bibs and medals are scoped to your signed-in account. Storage paths and database rows are checked against your user id before they are read or changed.
Strava connection
Connecting Strava is optional. With your permission, Bib Book reads activity names, dates, distances, times, heart rate, elevation, and GPS routes through the Strava API, including private activities. This information is shown only to you alongside your race records. It is not sent to our image AI providers, used for AI training, sold, or shared with other runners. We store authorization tokens securely on the server while you remain connected.
Strava retention and deletion
Imported Strava activities and routes are temporary: they stop displaying after 24 hours and are removed by hourly cleanup. Sync races to fetch a fresh copy. Strava update and deletion notifications invalidate cached activities. Choose “Disconnect & delete” in the account menu to remove your connection and all imported Strava data; the app confirms deletion when it succeeds. Your uploaded bibs, medals, and independent results remain. You can also revoke access in Strava settings. Revocation notifications remove the connection and imported data.
Strava service and support
Strava may collect API usage information to operate and improve its services and check compliance. See Strava’s privacy policy. For help or a data deletion request, use “Send feedback” in the Bib Book account menu. You can access and export your own Strava history through Strava’s data export settings.
What we do not do
Bib Book does not sell your race data, create a public profile by default, or automatically post your bibs, medals, or results anywhere else.
Your controls
You can edit or delete saved bibs, export cleaned or original photos, change unit preferences, and remove alternate race-match names from the account menu.
