Privacy

Short version: the game has no accounts of its own and uses no tracking cookies or visit analytics. What you type and ride passes through the server while you ride; your settings and ride history stay in your browser.

Who runs it

This server is run by GOCARMO (Gonçalo Carmo), who is responsible for this data. It runs on Render (a US company; data centre in Frankfurt, Germany), a hosting service that receives the same technical data (IP address, requests) to make it work. For any request about your data, write to allez@gocarmo.com

What the server receives

While you ride: your IP address (to limit connections per address), the name you type, your weight, your FTP and your power level, the power and cadence your trainer measures, and what you write in the chat. Your browser also sends a public key it made for your profile; the server ignores it. Other riders see your name, where you are on the route, your speed and power, and your chat messages. Your heart rate stays in the browser: it only travels inside the ride file.

What stays on the server

The server stores no profiles and no rides. When you leave, the server drops you from its memory (after about a minute if the connection just dropped, so you can come back). It keeps the total distance of all riders together, without names. Its technical log notes the name you joined with and the time; an IP address is noted only when one address opens too many connections.

What stays in your browser

Your profile (name, weight, FTP, units and settings), the Bluetooth devices you paired, your ride history, your best laps, the ride in progress (so you can recover it if the page closes) and a copy of the game's files. Ride files (.fit, .tcx, .gpx) and images are made in the browser and leave it only when you download them, share them or upload them to Strava. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes all of it.

Cookies and analytics

The game sets no tracking cookies, runs no visit analytics and loads nothing from other sites. The only cookies are the Strava session ones below, if you connect Strava.

Strava

Only if this server offers it and you choose to connect: the basis is your consent, which you can withdraw with Disconnect or at strava.com/settings/apps. The server then keeps your Strava athlete number and the access keys Strava hands it, and your browser gets a session cookie that lasts 30 days at most. They are used only to upload the rides you tell it to upload: the ride file passes through the server on its way to Strava and is not kept. None of this is shown to other riders. Disconnect deletes all of it on the server, on all your devices, withdraws the authorisation on Strava and confirms it on screen; if you withdraw it on Strava, the server deletes it when Strava tells it, and in any case after 30 days. Your browser keeps small notes about this: which rides you have already uploaded (with your athlete number and the activity's number on Strava), whether the last attempt to connect failed, and whether you left for Strava with a ride waiting. Strava may monitor and collect data about this application's use of its API and use it for its own purposes.

Your rights

You can ask at any time for access to your data, its correction or its deletion, at the address above; the answer is given in writing. The server's technical data serve to run and protect it (legitimate interest); the Strava data only with your consent. If you think your data is not handled well, you can complain to the Portuguese data protection authority (CNPD, www.cnpd.pt).
