Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how Motorsport Standings ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and handles your personal information when you use our iOS application and website at motorsportstandings.com (collectively, the "Service").

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data with transparency.

Data We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

Account Information

  • Email address (used to create and manage your account)
  • Password (stored in hashed, encrypted form — we never store plain-text passwords)
  • Account creation date and last login date

Usage Data

  • Pages and features accessed within the app
  • Device type, operating system version, and app version
  • Crash reports and performance diagnostics
  • General geographic region (country-level only, derived from IP address)

We do not collect your precise location, financial information, contacts, photos, or any other sensitive personal data.

How We Use It

We use the information we collect to:

  • Create and maintain your account
  • Provide and improve the Service
  • Send transactional emails such as password reset and account verification
  • Diagnose technical issues and fix bugs
  • Understand how the app is used so we can improve it
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your data for advertising purposes and we do not sell your data to third parties.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service, subject to confidentiality agreements. These may include:

  • Cloud hosting providers (to store app data and serve the application)
  • Analytics providers (to understand aggregate app usage — data is anonymised)
  • Error tracking services (to help us identify and fix bugs)

We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law, or in response to a valid legal request from a government authority.

Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you request deletion of your account, we will permanently delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance reasons.

Anonymised, aggregated usage data (which cannot identify you) may be retained indefinitely to help us improve the Service.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Withdraw consent for any processing based on consent
  • Lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

Security

We use industry-standard measures including encrypted data transmission (TLS/HTTPS), hashed password storage, and access controls to protect your information.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will notify you via email or a prominent in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
