1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

dragonboat.events does not currently require visitors to create accounts or directly provide personal information in order to use the publicly available portions of the website.

You can use Race Day Live and view race information without registering, logging in, or providing your name, email address, or other personal information.

Race directors and other authorized event organizers may provide information to dragonboat.events for publication as part of an event, such as race schedules, team names, participant information, race results, announcements, and photographs. Information provided by event organizers may contain personal information about individuals participating in or attending an event.

Information collected automatically

When you visit dragonboat.events, our web server may automatically record standard technical information in its access logs. This may include information such as:

These logs are primarily used for security, troubleshooting, maintaining the website, and understanding which pages and features are being used.

We do not use these logs to create user profiles, track individuals across websites, or provide targeted advertising.

We use information submitted through the contact form to respond to your inquiry, provide support, address questions or concerns, and otherwise communicate with you regarding your submission.

If you provide an email address, we may use it to respond to your message. We do not use email addresses submitted through the contact form for advertising or unrelated marketing.

Contact form submissions are stored in the website's internal file storage. A submission is retained until the inquiry has been responded to or for a maximum of 30 days, whichever occurs first. Submissions are then deleted.

In some circumstances, we may retain information from a contact submission for longer if reasonably necessary to address a dispute, comply with a legal obligation, or protect the rights or security of dragonboat.events or others.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

dragonboat.events does not currently use cookies for advertising, analytics, or behavioral tracking.

Race Day Live includes an authentication mechanism for authorized race directors who administer race information. This mechanism uses a simple anonymous hash key to authenticate access to the race director interface. This key is used for administration and security purposes and is not used to track visitors or create user profiles.

3. Race and Event Information

Information displayed on dragonboat.events may include information about dragon boat races and events, including event names, locations, race schedules, participating teams, race results, and related announcements.

The location information displayed on dragonboat.events refers to the location of a race or event and is not the physical location of website visitors.

dragonboat.events does not request or intentionally collect precise location information from visitors. However, third-party infrastructure providers used to operate the website, such as Cloudflare, may process technical information including IP addresses and other network information as part of providing security, performance, and network services. IP addresses may be used by these providers to determine an approximate geographic location, such as a visitor's country or general region.

dragonboat.events does not use this information to track visitors' physical locations or provide location-based advertising.

Some race information may be provided to dragonboat.events by race organizers or other authorized users.

4. Event Photography and Images

Race Day Live may display photographs or other images uploaded by race directors or other authorized event organizers.

These images may include participants, paddlers, coaches, race officials, volunteers, spectators, and other individuals present at an event. Images are displayed for the purpose of documenting and sharing the event and enhancing the Race Day Live experience.

By uploading images to dragonboat.events, race directors and event organizers represent that they have the appropriate rights or permissions to provide those images for display through the service.

dragonboat.events does not use event images for facial recognition, biometric identification, advertising, or targeted marketing.

If you believe that an image displayed on dragonboat.events raises a privacy concern or you would like to request that an image be removed, please contact us using the contact information provided below. We will review requests and, where appropriate, take reasonable steps to remove or replace the image.

Event organizers and photographers may have their own policies regarding photography and image use. This Privacy Policy applies to images displayed through dragonboat.events and does not necessarily govern the practices of event organizers, photographers, or other third parties.

5. How We Use Information

dragonboat.events does not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

We may share information when reasonably necessary to operate and protect the service, including with service providers that provide infrastructure or other technical services used to operate dragonboat.events.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or a valid governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of dragonboat.events, its users, or others.

7. Service Providers

8. Data Retention

Technical server logs may be retained for a period of time as reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting, operational purposes, and analysis of website usage.

Because dragonboat.events does not currently provide user accounts, we do not maintain user account profiles or account histories.

Information and images provided by race directors or other authorized event organizers may remain available as part of the historical record of an event, unless removed by an authorized event organizer or in response to an appropriate privacy or removal request.

9. Data Security

However, no website or method of transmitting information over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
