Data collected

Data collected as part of the registration process for Reality F1 will not be passed to any third party except if required by law.

As with the vast majority of Web sites, Reality F1 automatically logs certain information about every request made of it (see below for more details). This information is used for system administration, for bug tracking, and for producing usage statistics. The logged information may be kept indefinitely.

Data may on occasion be passed to the administrators of other computer systems to enable investigation of problems accessing this site or of system misconfigurations. Otherwise the logged information is not passed to any third party except if required by law. Summary statistics are extracted from this data and some of these may be made publicly available, but those that are do not include information from which individuals could be identified.

Email address use

As part of the player registration procedure you will need to provide an email address. Confirmation of registration will be sent to the email address and the same address will be used if you request a password reminder.

Reality F1 also operates an OPT-IN email list. If you choose to join the list you will be emailed one reminder about each race and information on your team performance within the game after each race. You can opt-out of receiving reminder emails at any point by logging in as a player and changing your mailing list options.

Under certain (rare) circumstances important announcements may be sent to all players. These announcements will only be sent if absolutely necessary to ensure the continued good operation of Reality F1 or if something has changed within the game itself in such a way that the change will affect the enjoyment of the game by individual players.

Your email address will not be passed to any third party except if required by law.
