3. How We Share Your Information

RaceBench does not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • With your consent — when you explicitly authorise sharing
  • Public profile and activity — usernames, race results, and leaderboard positions are visible to other users by default; you can adjust visibility in your account settings

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., fraud prevention, dispute resolution).

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict certain processing activities

RaceBench does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

8. International Data Transfers

If you access the Service from outside the United Kingdom, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United Kingdom. By using the Service, you consent to such transfers, subject to applicable data protection safeguards.
