RaceHub Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how RaceHub collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our website, app, and services (the "Platform").

By using RaceHub, creating an account, or providing personal data, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.

2. Scope

This Policy applies to all users worldwide (Drivers, Teams, Managers, and others). Where local laws apply (e.g., GDPR, UAE DPL, CCPA), we follow them in addition to this Policy.

3. Who We Are

TheRaceHub FZ-LLC is the data controller for personal data collected through the Platform.

Contact: info@theracehub.com

4. What We Collect

Depending on how you use RaceHub, we may collect:

  • Account data: name, email, username, password, date of birth, nationality, profile photo
  • Contact data: phone, city/country, preferred contact method
  • Racing profile: license, racing history, results, budgets, team/driver info
  • Billing data: subscription details, invoices (payment details handled by Stripe; we never store card numbers)
  • Messages: in-app chats, inquiries, support tickets
  • Technical data: IP, device type, browser, OS, pages visited, crash logs
  • Location: city/country or approximate IP location
  • Marketing preferences: newsletters, event sign-ups
  • Third-party data: from social accounts (if connected), racing databases, organizers
  • Sensitive data: not required, but if you provide it, you consent to our processing it.

5. How We Collect Data

  • Directly from you (when registering, creating a profile, messaging, or purchasing).
  • From third parties (payment providers, racing organizers, public sources, analytics).

6. Why We Use Data

We process personal data to:

  • Provide and manage accounts and Platform access
  • Enable messaging and connections between drivers and teams
  • Process payments and subscriptions
  • Improve services through analytics and research
  • Keep the Platform secure and prevent fraud
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Share marketing/promotional updates (with consent)

7. Automated Processing

We may use automated tools (e.g., matching drivers and teams), but final decisions with legal or contractual effect always involve human review.

8. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies for login, security, analytics, preferences, and marketing (if enabled). You can adjust settings via your browser or our cookie banner.

9. Sharing Data

We share data only when necessary:

  • Service providers: hosting, analytics, email, payment processors (e.g., Stripe)
  • Teams/Championships: if you choose to share or list with them
  • Authorities: when required by law
  • Business transfers: in case of merger or sale (with notice)

We never sell personal data.

10. International Transfers

Data may be stored or processed outside your country. When required, we use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

11. Retention

We keep data only as long as needed:

  • Account data: while active + up to 12 months after deletion
  • Billing data: up to 7 years for tax/legal reasons
  • Messages/logs: while needed for service and abuse prevention
  • Analytics: anonymized or kept only as necessary

12. Security

We use industry-standard measures (encryption, access controls, monitoring, backups). While no system is 100% secure, we act quickly if a breach occurs and notify you if legally required.

13. Your Rights

Depending on local law, you may request to:

  • Access your data
  • Correct or delete data
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Withdraw consent (for marketing)

To exercise rights, contact info@theracehub.com. We may ask for proof of identity.

14. Children

RaceHub is not for children under 10. We do not knowingly collect their data. If discovered, it will be deleted. If a guardian/parent is managing a young driver's account, that is completely fine.

15. Marketing

You may receive RaceHub updates and promotions if you opt in. You can unsubscribe anytime.

16. Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. Your card details are handled directly by them, not RaceHub.

17. Messages & User Content

  • Public profile info and listings are visible to other users.
  • Private messages are stored securely but may be accessed if required for legal or abuse investigations.
  • You are responsible for ensuring content you post does not infringe others' rights.

18. Third-party Links

We are not responsible for third-party sites you access from RaceHub. Review their privacy notices before sharing data.

19. Data for Research & Improvement

We may anonymize or aggregate data for analytics and research. This is no longer considered personal data.

20. Intellectual Property & Copyright

All content, software, branding, and design on RaceHub belong to RaceHub and are protected by law.

You may use the Platform for its intended purpose only.

Copying, modifying, or redistributing RaceHub IP without permission is not allowed & will result in legal action.

RaceHub reserves all rights not expressly granted.

21. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. If changes are significant, we will notify you by email or in-app.
