What personal information does My Race Data collect, and why?
My Race Data collects data about visits to forums and to its websites.
When you visit one of My Race Data’s websites or a forum that My Race Data hosts, whether you have an account or not,
we use cookies, server logs, and other methods to collect data about what pages you visit and when.
My Race Data uses data about how you use the website to:

- defend the forum and My Race Data’s websites from abuse and technical attacks
- compile statistics on forum and topic popularity

My Race Data usually stores the data identified above for just a few weeks.
In special circumstances, like extended investigations about technical attacks,
My Race Data may preserve log data longer, for analysis.
My Race Data stores aggregate statistics about use of the forum for as long as My Race Data hosts the forum,
but those statistics don’t include data identifiable to you personally.
My Race Data collects forum account data.
Many features of forums that My Race Data hosts require a forum account.
For example, most forums that My Race Data hosts require an account to post and reply to topics.
To sign up for a forum account, it requires your name, a user name, and an e-mail address.
My Race Data uses your account data to identify you on the forum and to create pages specific to you,
such as your profile page. If the forum is public, My Race Data publishes your account data according
to the forum administrator’s configuration. If the forum is access-restricted, My Race Data makes your
account data available to everyone who can access the forum, according to the forum administrator’s configuration.
My Race Data uses your e-mail address to:
- notify you about posts and other activity on the forum
- reset your password and help keep your account secure
- contact you in special circumstances related to your account
You may provide additional data for your account, like a short biography,
your location, or your birthday, on the profile settings page for your account.
My Race Data makes that data available to others who can access the forum.
You don’t have to provide this additional information, and you can erase it at any time.
My Race Data stores your account data as long as your account remains open.
My Race Data does not sell your personal information or share it with any third parties ever!
