What Data We Collect
This notice explains what personal data BeamGP collects, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over it under the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the league and we never sell your data.
1. Who is responsible for your data
BeamGP (“we”, “us”) is the data controller for the personal data described here. For any privacy question or to exercise your rights, contact us on our Discord server and message @Seas.
2. What we collect and why
| Data | Why we hold it | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Discord account info user ID, username, avatar, server roles |
To sign you in and recognise you across the site. We request only Discord’s identify scope — we do not receive your email or password. | Consent (you choose to log in) |
| Competition data display name, nationality, ratings, race & qualifying results, penalties, lap times, attendance |
To run championships, publish standings and results, and maintain your driver profile. | Legitimate interest / performance of your participation in the league |
| IP address with first/last seen timestamps |
Security, abuse prevention and fair play — e.g. detecting ban evasion and multiple accounts. Your IP may also appear in routine server logs. | Legitimate interest (protecting the league and its members) |
| Essential session cookie | To keep you logged in. It is strictly necessary — we use no advertising or third-party tracking cookies. | Legitimate interest (strictly necessary) |
3. Who we share it with
We do not sell your data or use it for advertising. Limited data is processed by the services that make the site work:
- Discord — authentication and avatar images.
- flagcdn.com, Google Fonts and our CDN/icon providers — when your browser loads images, fonts and icons, your IP address is necessarily visible to those providers.
- Our hosting provider — stores the data on our behalf under appropriate safeguards.
Some of these providers are based outside the EEA/UK. Where data is transferred internationally, it is protected by appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
4. How long we keep it
We keep your account and competition data for as long as you take part in the league, and historic results may be retained afterwards as part of the public competitive record. Security data such as IP addresses is kept only as long as needed for its purpose. You can ask us to delete your data at any time (see your rights below).
5. Your rights under the GDPR
You have the right to:
- Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectify data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Erase your data (“right to be forgotten”), subject to any legal grounds we must keep it.
- Restrict or object to how we process your data.
- Data portability — receive your data in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time, for example by logging out and asking us to remove your account.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
To exercise any of these, contact us on our Discord server and message @Seas. We will respond within one month as required by the GDPR.
6. Children
BeamGP is intended for users old enough to hold a Discord account in their country (generally 13+, or 16+ where required). We do not knowingly collect data from anyone below that age.
7. Changes to this notice
We may update this notice as the league evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the “last updated” date at the top of this page.
