Introduction

This privacy policy explains how desert-race-day-survival-guide.hub2.day handles information when you visit or interact with this site. The site is a focused, independent web utility that helps visitors prepare for desert motorsport events. We aim to be transparent about what data is collected, why, and what choices you have.

What We Collect

We collect limited information to operate the site, keep it secure, and improve the experience:

  • Browser-local inputs: Any checklists, notes, or preferences you enter may be stored locally in your browser (for example, via localStorage). This data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers unless you explicitly submit it (for example, by sending an email).
  • Contact email: If you email hello@desert-race-day-survival-guide.hub2.day, we will process your email address and message content to respond. We do not use contact emails for marketing unless you ask us to.
  • Server and security logs: Our hosting provider may automatically log technical details such as IP addresses, request timestamps, URLs, referrers, and browser identifiers. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, and basic operational monitoring.
  • Cookies and local storage: The site may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality, preferences, and advertising. See the Advertising & Cookies section below.

Advertising & Cookies

This site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to:

  • Serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites.
  • Measure ad performance and limit how often you see the same ad.
  • Personalize ads where you have consented, or serve non-personalized ads where permitted by law.

Depending on your location, you may see a consent prompt that lets you accept or reject certain cookie and data uses. You can also manage your preferences through:

GDPR / EEA & UK Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may have additional rights under the GDPR or UK GDPR, including:

  • The right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you.
  • The right to restrict or object to certain processing.
  • The right to data portability where applicable.
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.

We rely on different legal bases depending on the context, such as legitimate interests (for security and basic operations), consent (for certain cookies and ads), and performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps (when you contact us).

To exercise these rights, email hello@desert-race-day-survival-guide.hub2.day with your request and a description of the data concerned.

CCPA / CPRA Rights (California)

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including:

  • The right to request deletion of your personal information.
  • The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
  • The right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

This site does not sell personal information in the traditional sense. However, certain advertising-related data sharing may be considered “sharing” under the CPRA. You can opt out by using the cookie consent controls or the ad industry opt-out tools listed above.

To submit a request, email hello@desert-race-day-survival-guide.hub2.day with “CCPA Request” in the subject line and a description of your request.

Service Providers

We work with third-party service providers that may process data on our behalf, such as:

  • Hosting and infrastructure providers.
  • Google and its advertising partners for ad serving and measurement.

These providers are expected to handle data in accordance with applicable laws and are not authorized to use your data for their own independent purposes except as described in their own privacy policies.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

  • Server and security logs are typically retained for a limited period (often 30–90 days) unless longer retention is needed for security or legal reasons.
  • Contact emails and related correspondence are retained as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable record-keeping.
  • Browser-local data remains on your device until you clear it or delete it.
  • Advertising-related data is retained according to Google’s and its partners’ policies.

Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@desert-race-day-survival-guide.hub2.day so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

This site may link to third-party websites, such as event organizers, gear retailers, or official race resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

International Processing

This site may be accessed from different countries. If you are located outside the country where our servers or service providers operate, your information may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions. We rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms, where required by law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes indicates your acknowledgment of the updated policy.
