Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26-09-2026

Midlands Sim Racing UK ("MSRUK", "we", "us") runs this website as a hobby sim racing league. This policy explains what personal information we collect through the site, why, and what you can do about it.

We are not a company processing data at scale — we're a small, volunteer-run league. If anything here is unclear, or you want to exercise any of the rights below, just contact the league admin directly (see "Contact" at the end).

What we collect

When you register:

• Driver name, co-driver name (optional), team name (optional), and email address

• A personal API key, used only to let your own uploader tool identify you when it sends in your stage times.

When you use the site:

• Stage times, cars used, and rally results your uploader sends in, or that you submit manually

• Screenshots you attach when submitting or correcting a time (used only to verify the time is genuine)

• A car photo, if you choose to upload one to your profile

• Predictions, votes, and stage difficulty ratings (with optional comments) you submit

• Standard technical information our hosting provider logs for every visitor to any website, such as IP address and browser type — we don't use this ourselves beyond what our host collects automatically

Cookies: the site uses standard WordPress login cookies to keep you signed in. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.

How we use it

• To operate the league: showing results, standings, stats, and news on the site

• To identify your uploads as genuinely yours via your personal API key

• To email you your personal login link and a ready-to-use copy of the uploader tool

• To review time corrections and other submissions before they affect official results

• If enabled by the league admin, to post round results, stage records, and "going live" announcements to our Discord server and/or Facebook Page — these posts name the driver(s) involved, since that's the whole point of a results announcement

We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Who else sees it

• Our hosting provider, who hosts the site and its database

• Discord, if the league admin has set up result notifications — anyone in that Discord server can see those messages

• Facebook, if the league admin has connected a Page — posts made this way are visible to anyone who can see that Page

• YouTube or Vimeo, if you submit a replay link via Rally TV — the video itself lives on whichever of those services you posted it to; we only store the link

We don't share your email address with any of the above — only your driver name and race results are ever posted publicly.

How long we keep it

Race results, stats, and stage records are kept indefinitely, since they're the historical record of the league.

Your account and profile information are kept for as long as you're an active member; if you'd like your account

removed, contact the admin and we'll delete what we reasonably can (some results may remain as anonymised historical data, since removing a driver's rows entirely can distort standings for everyone else in that season).

Your rights

You can ask the league admin at any time to:

• See what information we hold about you

• Correct anything that's wrong

• Delete your account and personal information (see the note on historical results above)

• Stop receiving emails from the site

Children's privacy

This league is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has registered without appropriate consent, please contact us and we'll remove the account.

Changes to this policy

If how we handle your information changes meaningfully, we'll update this page and change the date at the top.
