Privacy policy

RockyRacer (“we”, “us”) operates rockyracer.com for sim-racing buyers in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we use it, and your rights under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who is responsible

RockyRacer Editorial is the data controller for this website. Contact: privacy@rockyracer.com (placeholder).

What we collect

• Newsletter & waitlist: email address and consent timestamp when you opt in.
• Corrections: message content and entity reference you submit.
• Analytics (if enabled): anonymised usage data via privacy-respecting analytics — only after cookie consent where required.
• Local storage: comparison tray preferences stored in your browser, not on our servers in the MVP.

Lawful bases

We process email addresses on the basis of consent for marketing. Corrections are processed on legitimate interests in maintaining accurate product information. Essential site operation relies on legitimate interests or contract where applicable.

Retention

Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Correction submissions are reviewed and archived after resolution, typically within 12 months. Server logs are rotated within 90 days.

Your rights

You may request access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability or object to processing. You may withdraw consent at any time. You have the right to complain to the ICO (ico.org.uk).

International transfers

Where we use processors outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards such as UK IDTA or adequacy regulations.
