paracyclingresults.com is an independent, non-commercial project that publishes para-cycling results, rider profiles and classification guides. We keep data collection to a minimum and use no advertising or cross-site tracking. This page explains what we process and why.
Who we run this site
This site is operated privately. For any privacy question or request, contact us at contact@paracyclingresults.com.
Analytics
We always run our own, self-hosted analytics. It is privacy-friendly and cookieless: we do not set any tracking cookie for it and we do not store your raw IP address.
Per page view we record, in aggregate: a daily one-way hash used only to estimate unique visitors (it cannot be traced back to you and is not linked across days), an approximate location (country/region, derived locally), the page visited, the referring page, and general device type. We do not build personal profiles and we never sell or share this data.
On top of that we offer Google Analytics 4, which gives us a clearer picture of which pages are worth improving. This one is entirely optional and off until you accept it in the cookie dialog on your first visit — the legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time below. Until you accept, the Google script is not loaded at all and no request is made to Google.
If you do accept, Google acts as our processor and may process the data on servers outside the EU. We use it for measurement only: advertising, remarketing and ad-personalisation signals stay switched off (Google Consent Mode defaults to denied), and we do not link the data to any advertising product.
Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies. A session cookie and a security (CSRF) token that keep the site working. These are exempt from consent requirements and cannot be turned off.
Optional analytics cookies. Only if you accept: Google Analytics sets _ga and _ga_<id> to recognise returning browsers, with a lifetime of up to two years. Decline and they are never set; withdraw later and we delete them again.
We also store two small values in your browser's local storage — your light/dark theme preference and your cookie choice itself. These stay on your device and are never sent to us. We set no advertising or social-media cookies.
Fonts and third parties
Fonts are served from our own server, so your browser makes no request to Google or other third parties for them. The site loads no ad networks and no social widgets. Google Analytics is the only third-party service on the site, and only after you accept it.
Rider and results data
Rider names, nationalities, sport classes and race results shown here come from publicly published para-cycling competition results (primarily UCI DataRide). We present this public sporting information to document the sport.
If you are a rider and would like a correction, or want your profile reviewed or removed, email contact@paracyclingresults.com and we will handle your request promptly.
Server logs
Like any website, our server keeps short-lived technical logs (including IP addresses) to operate the service securely and diagnose problems. These are not used to identify or track individuals and are rotated automatically.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can request access to, correction of, or erasure of any personal data we hold about you, and you may object to our processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact contact@paracyclingresults.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.
Changes
We may update this policy as the site evolves. The date at the top reflects the most recent change.
