This policy covers wildstride.racerpacer.com, a demonstration of the RacerPacer event kit. It explains, in plain English, what we collect, why, what the law lets us rely on, who else sees it, how long it is kept and what you can ask for.
Who we are
Wildstride demo is run by Ben Pollock, trading as RacerPacer, Calle Salvia 1, 28232 Las Rozas, Madrid, Spain. We are the “controller” of your personal data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and, for people in the UK, the UK GDPR. Write to us at that address or email hello@racerpacer.com.
What we collect and why
Keeping the site running
When your browser asks for a page, the server records your IP address, the page, the time, your browser type and the page you came from, like every website.
- Why: To deliver pages, keep the site secure and find faults.
- Legal basis: Legitimate interests (running a secure website).
- Who else: Hostinger International Ltd (Cyprus), our web host.
- How long: In the host’s server logs until its routine log rotation deletes them. We don’t combine them with anything else.
Counting visits (Cloudflare Web Analytics)
Every page loads Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views, the page you came from, your browser and device type, and your country. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device and doesn’t follow you between sites. Your IP address reaches Cloudflare to make the count but isn’t kept in the figures we see.
- Why: To see which pages are used, so we know what to improve.
- Legal basis: Legitimate interests (understanding use of the site in a way that doesn’t identify you). Because nothing is stored on your device, it doesn’t need your consent under cookie law.
- Who else: Cloudflare, Inc. (USA).
- How long: We only ever see totals, never individual visits.
Understanding how the site is used (Google Analytics), only if you say yes
If you accept analytics, Google Analytics records the pages you visit, how you arrived, how long you stayed, your device and browser, and your approximate location (town or region, worked out from your IP address, which Google doesn’t store). It sets the cookies listed below. Until you accept, Google Analytics isn’t even loaded, so nothing at all reaches Google.
- Why: To understand which pages and features help people, across all the RacerPacer sites.
- Legal basis: Your consent. Withdraw it at any time from “Cookie settings” in the footer and the cookies are deleted.
- Who else: Google Ireland Limited, which processes it for us; it may be handled by Google LLC in the USA.
- How long: 14 months, then Google deletes it. We have switched off Google signals, advertising features and data sharing with Google.
Emails you send us
If you email hello@racerpacer.com, we get your name, email address and whatever you write.
- Why: To reply and help you.
- Legal basis: Legitimate interests (answering the people who contact us).
- How long: Up to two years after the last message between you and us, or for as long as a listing or club page you wrote about is live, then deleted.
Settings kept on your device
Your light or dark theme choice, and races you save, are kept in your browser’s storage and never reach us. This is a demonstration site: the races are made up and there is nothing to book.
- Why: So the site remembers your choices.
- Legal basis: Stored because you asked for it; it never leaves your device.
- How long: Until you clear your browser’s site data.
Cookies and storage on your device
Only the items marked “needed” are used without asking, because the site can’t work, or can’t do what you asked, without them. Google Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them. Change your mind at any time from Cookie settings in the footer; saying no deletes them.
| Name | What it does | How long | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics: tells one visit from another with a random ID. Only set if you accept analytics. | Up to 2 years (most browsers cap it at about 13 months) | Cookie (optional) |
_ga_EW0MBXMC6H |
Google Analytics: keeps track of the current visit. Only set if you accept analytics. | Up to 2 years (most browsers cap it at about 13 months) | Cookie (optional) |
ws-theme |
Light or dark theme. | Until you clear it | Browser storage (needed) |
raceday-bookmarks |
Races you saved. | Until you clear it | Browser storage (needed) |
wp_consent_prefs |
Remembers your cookie choice so we don’t ask on every visit. | 1 year | Cookie (needed) |
Who else sees it
We don’t sell your data, and we don’t use it for advertising. These providers handle it for us under contracts that limit them to our instructions:
- Hostinger International Ltd (Cyprus), our web host
- Cloudflare, Inc. (USA)
- Google Ireland Limited, which processes it for us; it may be handled by Google LLC in the USA
We would also share data if the law required it.
Data sent outside the EU and UK
Some of these providers are in the USA. Those transfers are covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (and its UK extension) where the provider is certified, and otherwise by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (with the UK addendum). Ask us for details of the safeguard for any provider.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- tell you what we hold about you and give you a copy;
- correct anything that’s wrong;
- delete it;
- limit how we use it;
- give it to you, or another service, in a machine-readable file;
- stop using it where we rely on legitimate interests (you can object at any time).
Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time; it doesn’t affect what happened before. We make no automated decisions about you. Email hello@racerpacer.com and we’ll reply within one month. It’s free.
Complaints
Please tell us first so we can put it right. You can also complain to a data protection authority: the Spanish Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD), the authority where you live in the EU, or, in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Children
Wildstride demo isn’t aimed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 14.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes too. If a change affects how we use data you’ve already given us, we’ll tell you before it takes effect.
