Tracking & Privacy
In-App GPS Tracking
Tracking is only active during scheduled race events. It starts automatically 15 minutes before the race and stops 15 minutes after you finish.
During tracking, we collect your GPS coordinates, battery level, and battery usage. Each data point includes a timestamp and is associated with your race and racer profile.
Location data is transmitted in real-time to our secure servers for live race monitoring. The data is encrypted in transit and stored on servers hosted in the EU.
Your tracking data is used exclusively for live race monitoring and safety purposes. Race organizers can view your position in real-time. Data is deleted after a defined retention period.
You can disable Auto-Start Tracking at any time from the home screen. When disabled, no data will be collected or transmitted.
