Short version: we collect the bare minimum and we don't sell it.
Fast Wombat, LLC ("Fast Wombat," "we," "us"). Based in Austin, TX. Reach us at contact@fastwombat.com.
If you join a waitlist or mailing list, we collect the email address and name you provide. If you write to support, we receive your message and whatever you include in it.
To send you what you asked for and to keep you informed. If you signed up via a product waitlist, that may include progress updates, beta access, launch announcements, and occasional news from Fast Wombat about that product or related work. Waitlist and newsletter emails are delivered through our email service provider, MailerLite, who processes your subscription on our behalf. We reply to your support email when you write to us. We don't use your email for anything else.
Our website uses PostHog to measure things like page views, referrer sources, device type, and approximate location so we can understand how the site is being used and make it better. This information is used for product improvement, not advertising. We do not attempt to identify individual website visitors, and we do not combine analytics data with your waitlist or support correspondence. Analytics inside our Roll Play app are handled separately and are described in the Roll Play section below.
PostHog sets a cookie to distinguish repeat visits from new ones. MailerLite may set a cookie when you interact with a subscription form. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can clear or block these cookies in your browser at any time without losing access to the site.
Roll Play is a Fast Wombat iOS app, currently in pre-release testing. The practices in this section apply to people using the app or its beta, and are in addition to the website practices above. BoardGameGeek is a separate service we don't control or affiliate with; the name is used here only to describe how Roll Play connects to it.
Roll Play works by reading a public BoardGameGeek ("BGG") profile. You enter a BGG username, and the app reads the public information on that profile — the display name BGG shows and your collection data, such as game titles, ratings, and play counts. You don't create an account with us: there's no password, and we don't ask for or verify an email address. Because a BGG username and profile are public, the display name may be anyone's, the same username can be linked by more than one person, and the information isn't something we can treat as belonging to a specific individual. To make the app work, we may keep cached copies of public BGG collection data on our server. We don't control BoardGameGeek; their handling of your profile is governed by their own policies.
The Roll Play app uses Mixpanel to record basic usage and activity so we can provide technical support and improve the app over time. When you've linked a BGG profile, this activity is associated with that public BGG username. We don't collect any other personal information in the app. The app has an optional name field; if used, it draws on the public BGG profile name, which — as noted above — may not identify the actual person using the app.
Roll Play includes optional AI features that are turned off until you enable them. If you turn them on, the app sends your BGG username, your display name, and your library data — game titles, ratings, and play counts — along with the messages you type into chat and the terms you type into search, to a third-party AI provider (currently OpenAI) by way of Roll Play's server. We use this to generate recommendations, chat responses, search results, game-night plans, and library insights based on what you own. We do not send your location, contacts, or photos. Your data is not sold and, per our arrangement with the provider, is not used to train AI models. You can turn AI features on or off at any time in the app's Settings. If you leave them off, the rest of the app — your library, search, filters, and sorting — keeps working; only the AI features are disabled.
We use a small number of trusted third parties to operate the site, deliver email, and run our app. As of today, these are MailerLite (email delivery), PostHog (website analytics), Mixpanel (Roll Play app analytics), and OpenAI (AI features in Roll Play, when you enable them). Each is bound by its own privacy policy and processes data on our behalf. If this list changes materially, we'll update this page.
We don't sell your information. We don't share it with third parties for advertising.
We keep your email on our mailing list until you ask us to remove it or unsubscribe. A waitlist for a specific product may continue as an ongoing mailing list after that product launches, so you'll keep hearing from us until you opt out. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. Cached BoardGameGeek collection data in the Roll Play app refreshes from the public profile and is kept only as long as it's useful to running the app.
Email contact@fastwombat.com at any time to access, update, or delete any information we hold about you. For the Roll Play app, note that there's no account to delete — the app reads a public BoardGameGeek profile rather than information you register with us — but you can write to us with any questions, and you can stop the app from reading a profile by unlinking it.
If we change anything material, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
