PRIVACY POLICY

RaceCapture is built for athletes, organizers, and the communities around them — and that includes how we handle your data. We collect only what we need to deliver your media, keep it secure, and never sell it.

We also do not collect, store, or retain selfies or facial recognition data. Any selfie you upload for “Find My Photos” is used once for matching, then permanently deleted.

No Data Resale No Selfie Storage Stripe Secure Payments Photo Removal on Request

At a glance, we may collect:

  • Contact details – your name and email when you purchase media or contact us.
  • Purchase info – what you bought, which event it was from, and transaction metadata.
  • Race photos & bib data – images captured at events plus bib numbers where provided.
  • Basic usage data – logs, performance data, and anonymous analytics to keep the site stable.

We use this to:

  • Deliver your photos and receipts.
  • Help you find your images via search tools.
  • Maintain, secure, and improve the RaceCapture platform.

We do NOT:

  • Sell your personal data to advertisers or data brokers.
  • Store or see your full card details (Stripe handles payment info).
  • Store selfies or long-term facial recognition data. Selfies used for “Find My Photos” are deleted immediately after matching.
  • Build biometric profiles, facial datasets, or training sets from athlete images.

HOW WE HANDLE YOUR DATA

This is a summary of our approach. For specific questions or removal requests, contact us directly and we’ll handle it personally.

Photos & Galleries

Event Media We Capture

We photograph and film races to create galleries and highlight content. This content may include you, your bib number, and people around you on course or at the venue.

  • Photos and video are stored securely in managed cloud storage.
  • Galleries remain online so athletes can access them after race day.
  • You can request removal of specific images where you are the clear subject.
Face, Bib & Payment

Search, Selfies & Checkout

To make finding your photos fast, we offer bib and optional facial search tools. We design these to be powerful for athletes and minimal from a privacy standpoint.

  • If you use our selfie-based “Find My Photos” feature, your selfie is used only in that moment to match against event images, then immediately deleted.
  • We do not keep a copy of your selfie, do not build facial profiles, and do not store facial embeddings or biometric identifiers.
  • Bib numbers are linked to images purely as a search tool and are not sold or shared for advertising.
  • Card data is processed and encrypted by Stripe — not stored on RaceCapture servers.
Your Rights

Access, Control & Removal

You maintain control over your personal information and certain uses of your image.

  • Request details on what personal data we have linked to your purchases.
  • Ask us to update or correct your contact details.
  • Request removal of specific images where you are clearly identifiable as the subject.
  • Contact: info@racecapture.ca for any privacy questions or requests.
