This Privacy Policy explains what information WikiSimRacing (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects when you visit wikisimracing.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have. The Site is intended for visitors in the United States.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide
If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and the contents of your message. We use this information to respond to you and to act on corrections or requests.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, our servers and the services listed below automatically record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. Some of this is collected through cookies and similar technologies.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Site operation: cookies that remember preferences such as light or dark display mode.
- Analytics: we may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand which pages are read and how visitors arrive at the Site. These services set their own cookies and process data under their own privacy policies.
- Affiliate tracking: when you click a link to a retailer, the retailer may set a cookie that records the referral so that we can earn a commission on qualifying purchases. This is controlled by the retailer and described in their policies. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some Site features.
3. How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
- To respond to your messages and requests.
- To understand which content is useful to readers.
- To protect the Site against abuse and security threats.
- To comply with legal obligations.
4. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us operate the Site (such as hosting, analytics, and email providers), when required by law, or to protect our rights. When you leave the Site by clicking a link, the destination site’s privacy policy applies.
5. Third party services
The Site links to and displays product information from Amazon.com and other retailers. Amazon’s use of your information is described in the Amazon Privacy Notice. Analytics providers process data under their own policies. We encourage you to review those policies.
6. Data retention
We keep server logs and analytics data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes above, and email correspondence for as long as needed to handle your request and maintain records of corrections.
7. Your choices and rights
You can ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, by emailing [email protected] with “Privacy request” in the subject line. We will verify your request and respond within the time required by applicable law.
California residents. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined in the CCPA. Requests can be sent to the email address above.
Do Not Track. The Site does not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals, because there is no common standard for how to interpret them.

10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date below shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy.
