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.

Email address use

As part of the player registration procedure you will need to provide a valid and operational 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 or in the case of a player attacking or in any way abusing Reality F1 - in which case details will be passed to contacts at the relevant service provider.
