4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

A. Public Leaderboards

If you opt-in to appear on public leaderboards, your username, segment times, and performance data may be displayed publicly on our website.

B. Service Providers

We may share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, and email services. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.

C. Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government regulation, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

D. Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

E. Sponsor Marketing & Lead Generation

When you choose to enter a drawing on the V41 Prize Board by spending tickets, you are explicitly opting-in to share your name and email address with the specific third-party Sponsor of that prize. This information is shared for the purpose of lead generation and direct marketing by the Sponsor. Once shared, your data is subject to the individual Sponsor's privacy policy. V41 is not responsible for the data practices of these Sponsors.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

6. Third-Party Services, Analytics, and Advertising

A. Strava

Our services integrate with Strava, a third-party service. When you connect your Strava account, you are also subject to Strava's privacy policy and terms of service. We are not responsible for Strava's data practices.

B. Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive at the site, and where they leave the registration process. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, approximate location based on IP address, device and browser type, and the website or link that referred you. Google processes this information under its own privacy policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your information by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

C. Advertising

We may advertise V41 on third-party platforms such as Google, Instagram, and Facebook. To measure whether those ads work, we may use tools provided by those platforms, such as tracking pixels or conversion tags. These tools allow the platform to record that a visitor who saw or clicked an ad later visited our website or created an account. These platforms may combine this information with other information they hold about you and use it under their own privacy policies. You can control how each platform uses your information for advertising through your ad settings with that platform.

We do not share Strava data, leaderboard results, or your account details with advertising platforms.

D. How You Arrived

When you create an account, we may record how you arrived at V41, such as the link, post, or ad you followed, and store it with your account. This helps us understand which outreach brings riders who actually ride.

E. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, and the third parties described in this section may not respond to them either.

  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Opt-out: Opt-out of appearing on public leaderboards
