App usage is optional. Users can manage and view data and receive results via email upon request.
Live timing and race stats are displayed under your chosen name. You can use a pseudonym. If you register with your real name, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You may withdraw consent at any time.
Data Usage Purposes:
Faster future registration
Recording and displaying race results
Sending results and marketing (if agreed)
Contract processing and optimization
Transmission to Zurich Insurance plc NfD, 53287 Bonn for accident claims (only in case of damage and based on legal/contractual obligation)
