Privacy Policy

1. Responsible party

raceday.ski · Mario & Tobias Welte · Winkelgasse 1, 6800 Feldkirch, Austria Email: hello@raceday.ski

2. Data collected

User accounts

During registration, we store your email address and your password as a cryptographic hash (scrypt) — never in plain text. The data is kept on our own server (Hetzner, EU); no external login services are involved.

Wax recommendations

For logged-in users, we store computed recommendations in the wax logbook: resort, date, altitude, snow type, snow and air temperature, and the recommended wax.

Weather data (Open-Meteo)

We use the Open-Meteo API for weather forecasts. No personal data is transmitted to Open-Meteo — only geographic coordinates of the selected resort.

Anonymous request log

For every wax calculation, our server logs the calculation parameters (e.g. resort, altitude, date, start time, slope aspect, selected brand) and the result (e.g. snow temperature, recommended wax) in anonymous form. No personal data is stored — no IP address, no user agent, no cookies and no account reference; the entries cannot be linked to any person. The sole purpose is product improvement. Raw data is deleted after 24 months at the latest; only aggregated statistics remain.

3. Analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-friendly web analytics service, as a self-hosted instance on our own server. Umami does not set cookies and does not store personal data.

4. Cookies

We only use technically necessary cookies: a session cookie after login (authentication) and a cookie for the selected language. No marketing or tracking cookies are set. Settings such as the hobby/racing mode remain in your browser's localStorage and never leave your device.

5. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, deletion, and data portability. Contact us at hello@raceday.ski — on request we will permanently delete your account and all associated data.

6. Hosting

This website is hosted on a Hetzner server (EU). All data — user accounts, wax logbook, feedback and weather/measurement caches — is kept on this server; no external database services are used.
