1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how ka72.com (“we”, “our”, “us”) collects, uses, stores and protects personal information. We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). We also aim to meet international privacy expectations, including the GDPR, for our users outside Australia.
2. Information We Collect
- Account information: email address and display name (which may be a pseudonym).
- Optional event details: full name, date of birth, gender, and phone number (used only for event management and contact).
- Uploaded data: GPS files and related activity metadata provided manually by users.
- Technical data: limited standard logs (e.g. IP address, browser type) for server security and troubleshooting.
3. Use of Information
We use the information you provide solely to:
- Analyse GPS data and display results, rankings, and track visualisations.
- Administer and display user accounts and event leaderboards.
- Contact you for registration, password resets, or essential service/security notices.
- Manage event communications (e.g. notifications or SMS for event logistics).
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.
4. Storage and International Transfers
- GPS files and image overlays are stored securely on Amazon S3 servers located outside Australia.
- All other user and site data is hosted on servers within Australia.
- Appropriate technical and administrative measures are in place to protect your data from unauthorised access or misuse.
5. Public and Hidden Tracks
- Uploaded GPS files are publicly viewable and downloadable unless you choose to hide them.
- Hidden tracks remain private to your account and are not listed in public results.
6. Communications
We only send emails that are necessary for registration, password recovery, or significant service updates. We do not send newsletters or marketing emails. Event-related contact (e.g. prize notifications) will only occur if you explicitly enter an event requiring it.
7. Disclosure of Information
We will not share personal information with any third party except:
- where required by law or legal process;
- with your consent, for example when entering an event that lists sponsors or prize providers;
- to protect the rights, safety, or property of ka72.com or its users.
8. Data Retention and Removal
User accounts and uploaded data are retained indefinitely to maintain historical performance records and event archives. Users can hide uploaded tracks at any time, which removes them from public view and downloads. There is currently no self-service deletion feature for user accounts or data. Users may request manual deletion by contacting the site operator directly.
9. Payments
If you subscribe or make payments through Stripe, your payment information is processed securely by Stripe and is subject to their own privacy policy. We do not store or have access to your credit card details.
10. Your Rights
- Request access or correction of your personal information.
- Request manual deletion or anonymisation of your account or uploaded data.
- Withdraw consent for event-related processing at any time.
11. Children
The site is intended for general audiences but may include event divisions for younger participants. Parents or guardians should supervise children under 16 when providing any personal information.
12. Legal Basis and Jurisdiction
This policy is governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Users outside Australia acknowledge that their information may be processed and stored in Australia or other jurisdictions where our infrastructure operates.
