What we collect
If you join the briefing or save a Race Trip Monitor, we may collect your email address and basic technical context such as submission time, browser user agent, and hashed IP-derived security information.
For a Race Trip Monitor, we also store the selected race, target budget, number of travelers and nights, trip style, planning estimate, and current booking signal. We use these fields to operate the requested monitoring baseline and improve the trip monitor.
We also keep minimal first-party product analytics: an event name, page path, selected guide or race, optional package style, optional outbound-link category, optional predefined campaign identifier from the landing URL, and timestamp. Arbitrary campaign text and full URL query strings are discarded. These records do not include email addresses, raw IP addresses, or advertising profiles. We do not use cookies or browser storage for first-party campaign attribution. A one-way technical identifier may be retained separately for rate limiting and is never stored with analytics events.
How we use data
- To send the race travel briefing, operate requested Race Trip Monitor updates, or respond to a request.
- To prevent spam, abuse, and duplicate submissions.
- To understand which race planning topics visitors care about.
- To improve guides, comparison pages, and planning tools.
What we do not do
- We do not sell personal data.
- We do not claim official Formula 1, FIA, promoter, team, or ticket-provider affiliation.
- We do not ask for payment details or passport/visa documents in the current MVP.
Third-party services
The site uses hosting, infrastructure, analytics, email delivery, form handling, and affiliate partners. When you choose an explicit outbound link, outbound providers receive standard technical request data such as your IP address, browser information, referring page, and the destination URL parameters needed to serve and attribute that click.
Grand Prix Weekender does not load an automatic link-monetization script or allow a third party to scan and rewrite page links. If we add a major service that materially changes data handling, this policy will be updated.
Retention and deletion
Newsletter, price-alert, and inquiry records are kept only as long as useful for the product or required for security and operations. You can request deletion by emailing paddock@gpweekender.com.
