At Motorsportive, we believe in transparency not just in our journalism, but in how we handle your data. This policy outlines our practices.
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information required to provide our services. This includes:
- Account Information: If you sign up via Google, we store your email, display name, and avatar URL.
- Usage Data: We use Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand how our site is accessed.
- Payment Information: All payment processing is handled securely by Stripe. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data to:
- Authenticate your access to premium content.
- Process subscription payments (via Stripe).
- Send essential service emails (e.g., subscription confirmation).
- Improve our editorial content based on aggregate reading patterns.
3. Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies for authentication (keeping you logged in) and performance monitoring. We also use Google AdSense, which may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your visits to this and other websites (unless you are a premium subscriber, in which case we disable these scripts).
You can opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
4. Third-Party Services
We trust the following partners with specific data processing tasks:
- Stripe: Payment processing.
- Google Firebase: Authentication and database hosting.
- Google AdSense: Advertising delivery (for non-subscribers).
5. Your Rights
You have the right to request access to your data or request deletion of your account. Contact us at privacy@motorsportive.com for any requests.
6. Changes
We may update this policy periodically. Continued use of the service implies acceptance of these changes.
