SpeedWeek Privacy Policy

To give visitors of SpeedWeek a clear overview of what SpeedWeek does with the gathered information from users through membership and tracking, I have written this privacy policy.

Note: Throughout this document, a visitor is ofter addressed as 'he'. In all cases, this actually means 'he/she'.

Registration Information
SpeedWeek requires people to register for an account to be able to post comments, post on the messageboard and upload cars, pictures and tools. Only username, password and email address are required for this registration, the rest can be left blank if wanted to. It is possible to hide the email address from regular visitors, which means that only the username will be known to the public. In this case, your email address will only be visible for the SpeedWeek admin. Whether you hide your email address or not, this information will never be given out or sold to anyone.

Information through tracking (including cookies)
To keep record of how many visitors and downloads SpeedWeek has on a daily basis, SpeedWeek has a visitor tracking system. The visitcounter works with IP's, which means that when someone visits SpeedWeek, his IP will be recorded and stored for 24 hours. This IP is not visible for any regular visitor, again only to the SpeedWeek admin and will never be given out or used for any other thing than the SpeedWeek counter. The download counter works with cookies. When a person downloads a car, a cookie will be stored on this person's PC (if he has cookies enabled that is). This cookie only contains the car ID and the time and will be valid for 24 hours before it's deleted automatically. Again, this information is ONLY for SpeedWeek downloadcounting, nothing else.

Login system (cookies)
The SpeedWeek login system uses cookies to keep the person logged in. These cookies contain the username, the password (which is encrypted) and the user ID. These data will only be used by SpeedWeek to keep you logged in and make it easier to post messages and upload cars. Logging in is optional in all cases.

Posting comments or messages on the messageboard (IP's)
When a person posts a comment on SpeedWeek or on the messageboard, his IP will be recorded with the message. This IP is only visible for admins and is only intended to track down visitors abusing the SpeedWeek comments or board system. The IP will then be used to set a ban. Never will SpeedWeek publish an IP for a person to anyone else than the admins and no admin will use this IP in any other way than setting a ban on SpeedWeek for that IP.
