Last updated: August 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how ACM Racing (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you visit or use https://acm-racing.com/ (the “Site”), our related services, Discord integration, event sign-ups, and any associated applications or platforms (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following categories:

a. Information you provide directly

• Account and profile details when you log in via Discord (username, Discord ID, avatar, and related profile data).
• Event registration and participation information (driver name/display name, team affiliation, car choices, sign-up details such as Steam ID).
• Communications with us (messages, support requests, feedback).
• Any other information you voluntarily submit through forms, team creation, challenges, or website features.

b. Information collected automatically

• Usage data: pages visited, features used, event interactions, session duration, and referral sources.
• Device and technical data: IP address, browser type/version, operating system, device identifiers, and approximate location derived from IP.
• Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 5).

c. Information from third parties

• Discord (when you use “Login with Discord”).
• Racing platforms or telemetry sources if you connect or upload data related to Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) or similar sims.
• Publicly available information or data from partners (e.g., SimGrid event listings where ACM Racing appears).

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, health data, or biometric data) unless you voluntarily provide it.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the Services (event registration, leaderboards, career progression, team management, telemetry analysis, and multiplayer career features).
• Authenticate users via Discord and maintain your account.
• Facilitate racing events, standings, challenges, sponsorship simulations, and community features.
• Communicate with you about events, updates, support, or important Service changes.
• Analyze usage patterns and performance data to enhance the platform and user experience.
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, abuse, or security threats.
• Comply with legal obligations.
• With your consent, send promotional or community-related communications (you may opt out at any time).

We process personal data on the bases of: performance of a contract (providing the Services), legitimate interests (improving the platform and community safety), consent (where required), and legal compliance.

3. Sharing of Your Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with:

• Service providers who help us operate the Site and Services (hosting, analytics, Discord integration), under strict contractual obligations to protect your data.
• Other users — limited public profile information (display name, race results, team affiliation, standings) may be visible to other participants as part of the multiplayer and leaderboard experience.
• Legal and safety reasons — when required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or property.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with notice where required).

Telemetry and race data may be aggregated or anonymized for analysis and shared in non-identifiable form.

4. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Account data is generally retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward. You may request deletion (subject to legal retention requirements).

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep you logged in and remember preferences.
• Analyze Site traffic and performance.
• Improve functionality and security.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may limit some features of the Services.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location (especially if you are in the European Economic Area, UK, or certain other jurisdictions), you may have rights including:

• Access to your personal data.
• Correction of inaccurate data.
• Deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”).

The Services are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected such data, we will take steps to delete it. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
