VibeJibe is operated by Jack Widman, who does business under the name ChocolateLabs. To reach us about anything on this page, write to woof@chocolatelabs.me.
VibeJibe has not opened yet. Today this website does one thing: it lets you join the waiting list. This page covers that. Before the clubs open we will publish a full policy for the service, and we will tell everyone on the waiting list about it.
The form asks for nothing else. It has no name, street address, phone number or password.
We use your email address to send you two emails. The first is sent when you join: it confirms you are on the list and gives you a link of your own that you can send to friends. The second tells you that the clubs are open where you live and how to get in. We may also write to tell you that you can create your VibeJibe before opening night. Every email has a link that takes you off the list.
If you joined before November 9, 2026, the confirmation email and the share link were not part of what this page said then, so we did not send them to you.
When someone joins through your link, we count it. The website shows you how many people in the New York area your link has brought. It shows a number only. The person who sent you a link is not told that you joined, and we never write to anyone because a friend gave us their address.
Your browser keeps three small notes on your own device so the page works when you come back: the tag or share link you arrived by, your own share link once you join, and whether you gave a New York place. They are not cookies and are not sent to anyone but our own server when you join.
We use your ZIP code or city to know which city you are waiting for. New York means the five boroughs and the towns close to them. The website shows how many people in that area are on the list. It shows only that number, never a name, an email address or a place.
We do not sell it. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not send you marketing from anyone else.
The waiting list is stored on a server at Amazon Web Services in Sweden. A backup copy of the server's data is made each night and stored with the same company in the same country.
We use Google Analytics to count how many people visit this website, which pages they read, roughly where in the world they are, and whether they joined the waiting list. Google Analytics sets cookies, which are small files your browser keeps, so that it can tell a returning visitor from a new one. Google receives this information and processes it for us. Its advertising features are turned off. Your email address is never sent to Google Analytics.
We keep your email address until the clubs open and we have written to you, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first. If you then create a VibeJibe account, the full policy for the service applies to that account.
Every email we send to the list ends with a link. Open it, press the button, and your address is deleted from the list. You can also write to woof@chocolatelabs.me from the address you joined with and ask to be removed, and we will delete it. It may remain in earlier nightly backups until those backups are deleted.
You can also write to the same address to ask what we hold about you or to have it corrected. If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, these are your rights under data protection law, and you may also complain to your national data protection authority.
VibeJibe is for adults. Please do not join the waiting list if you are under 18.
If we change this page, we will change the date at the top. If the change affects how we use an email address already on the list, we will write to that address before the change takes effect.
