Types of data we collect

When you sign up for a Serious-Racing account, we request some information from you to be able to provide our services. When you use the Serious-Racing website, you may also want to upload things like lap time data, photos, and comments.

Here is a list of the information we collect and what we do with it:

  • Your email address. Your email address is used to identify you as a Serious-Racing user. We also use it to send you any administrative notifications regarding our service and optional updates from your friends on Serious-Racing. Change your email preferences.
  • Your name. We ask your real name to make it easier for real-life friends to recognise you when you send them a friend request. You can change your name on your profile.
  • Your country. We use your country to set default units, miles or kilometres for example, and to show you tracks and other content that is more relevant to your location. You can change your country and preferred units by editing your settings.
  • Your date of birth. We ask your date of birth when you sign up to make sure our users are over 18 years old.
  • Data you choose to share to Serious-Racing. For example: lap time data, photos, vehicle details, comments, settings and anything else you may add to your profile while using our services. Uploading these types of information lets you use all features of our website. As well as keeping Serious-Racing a positive and inclusive place as described in our terms of use, please think carefully when you decide what information you want to share on the site.

Third parties

We may use other companies to enable us to provide certain parts of our services. Those third parties may have their own ways to identify you, for example via cookies that are in use on their website or through information you share on other social websites. However, we don’t share your private data with any other companies.

These Google Analytics cookies are used to collect information about how visitors use our website. This helps us to keep on making the site better. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors are from, which pages they visit.

Links to other sites

We show links to other websites on Serious-Racing, and these other sites may set their own cookies and have different privacy policies from ours. In some cases, we show links to websites that we have an affiliate relationship with. This means that, if the linked website has a product for sale and you buy that product, we get a referral fee from the seller. This doesn’t make the price of the product any higher for you as a buyer. Doing this allows us to offset some of the costs we have running Serious-Racing and helps us to keep the site free for users. To register that you came to the other website from Serious-Racing, the other website may put a cookie on your computer. This doesn't give the other site access to any of your Serious-Racing personal information.

How long we keep your data

We keep your data as long as we need it to provide services for you.

Where we store your data

We store your data on our servers in Germany.
