At PitRivals, we take your privacy very seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how you can exercise your rights. Our core principle is transparency: we only collect the data strictly necessary for the platform to function, and we will never sell your information.
1. Data we collect and how we get it
We collect account details when you register and obtain iRacing driver data and race results when you connect your iRacing account. Optional Discord or Twitch data is obtained only when you connect those accounts. This includes:
- Basic iRacing Identifiers: Your iRacing Customer ID and Pilot Name (Display Name).
- Driving Stats: Your iRating, Safety Rating, license class, and number of races.
- Race Results: Information about your official races (finish position, incidents, SOF, etc.).
- Connected Social Accounts: If you choose to link your Discord or Twitch accounts, we collect your external ID, username, email address, and avatar URL.
2. Data Usage
We use this information to provide:
- Generate activity walls and collective stats for the Pits you join.
- Calculate internal and global rankings based on your real track performance.
- Keep your session active on the platform.
- Display your connected social handles and synchronize your profile avatars on your public Driver Profile.
Public profiles and performance cards
When you link iRacing, we use the driver data and official race results synchronized for your account to build your profile and calculate performance cards by discipline and period. Scores and tiers are calculated by PitRivals and are not official iRacing ratings.
- Your public profile can show your iRacing driver name, licenses, statistics, recent races, favorite cars and series, current Pit memberships, and connected social accounts you choose to display.
- Your public profile features official annual cards for the current year. Other official cards can be viewed in your card archive and detail pages; the public explorer lists official annual cards from every year. Provisional cards are visible only to you while signed in.
- A Pit membership identifies a community you belong to; it does not give that Pit ownership or exclusive representation of your driver profile. Email addresses and OAuth tokens are not shown in profiles or cards.
- Public profiles and official performance cards may appear in internet search results.
3. Email Communications & Notifications
By registering a verified email address, you agree to receive communications from PitRivals. We divide these communications into two strict categories to respect your inbox:
- System & Operational Emails (Mandatory): These are vital for your account's health. We will notify you if your iRacing OAuth token expires or if there is a critical sync failure preventing your race data from being processed. You will receive these as long as your account is active, regardless of your notification preferences.
- Community & Product Updates (Opt-In): Emails related to your Pit activity (such as new affiliation requests) or product changelogs. You have total control over these and can disable them at any time from your Account Settings.
We will never sell or lease your email address to third parties.
4. Data Retention and Deletion
You can request the complete deletion of your account at any time from your profile settings. Upon doing so:
- Your access tokens, social connections, and any personal information will be permanently removed from our servers within 24 hours.
- You will automatically leave all Pits you belonged to.
- Leaderboard Integrity: To preserve competitive history, your name in all archived leaderboards and rankings (both global and series) will be anonymized to "Deleted User".
5. Third-Party Sharing
We do not share, sell, or lease your personal data to third-party advertising companies. However, if you join a Pit that has enabled a Discord Webhook Integration, certain public race achievements (wins, podiums, clean races, or license promotions) will be published directly to that Pit's Discord server as part of the team's activity feed.
Audience and performance measurement
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand website traffic and performance and help us improve the website. The service collects information about pages visited, referral sources, technical browser characteristics and performance metrics. We do not send names, email addresses or PitRivals account details as analytics information.
Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use analytics cookies or local storage to identify or track visitors across websites. Cloudflare temporarily receives the IP address as part of the HTTP connection and states that it discards it within its network without storing it in its core databases or logs. Web Analytics statistics can be consulted for the previous six months. Cloudflare is a global provider and processing may involve international data transfers, for which it applies the safeguards described in its data processing addendum.
