Privacy

This covers two things: the FloStyle app on your phone or tablet, and this website. They are not the same, and the short version is that the app holds nothing about you and the website holds only what an organiser chose to make public.

What the app collects

Nothing about you. FloStyle runs on your own phones and tablets. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. Scores stay on the device that made them and on the hub the day was run from, and nothing leaves your venue unless the organiser chooses to publish results to this site. Publishing is theirs to decide, it sends results and nothing else, and each paddler goes up with as much of their name as the organiser marked them for: the full name, the first name alone, or the bib and nothing else. Junior classes start on the first name.

There is one exception, and it is the app falling over. A crash report carries the crash itself, the device model, the operating system version, the app version and a random installation id, and it goes to Google Firebase Crashlytics, the service we read them in. There is nothing about people, competitions or scores in one. It is sent when the device is next online, and it is turned off in Settings, Send crash reports.

What the website holds

Only the results an organiser chose to publish. For a competition that is its name, its venue, its dates, its rule set and its classes; for each paddler it is a bib number, a rank, a score and the scores of their runs, and as much of a name, a nation and a club as they were published with: the full name with their nation and club, the first name with their nation and no club, or the bib on its own. We also hold the organiser's own name and email address, so we can reach them about their competition, and where the organiser gave an email address it is shown on the competition's page, so you can ask them first about a correction. The site sets no cookies and runs no analytics. Our host keeps a short server log of requests, which we use only to keep the site up.

Why

So that results are public. A freestyle competition is a public event and the point of publishing is that anyone can look up who won, check a class, or find their own score months later. We do not use any of it for anything else, and we never sell it.

How long

Until the organiser removes it. A published competition stays on the site while it is of use to the sport. An organiser can take theirs down, or ask us to, at any time, and once it is down it is gone from the site and from our backups within 30 days.

Who can see it

Anyone. A published competition is a public page with a plain address, it can be read without signing in, and search engines can index it. If a paddler does not want their name to be findable, the organiser marks them first name, and the results go up without their surname and without their club; marked bib only, the results carry their bib number and nothing else.

Your choices

Ask the organiser of the competition to correct a score, remove a name or take the whole competition down, because it is theirs to change. If you cannot reach them, or you would rather not, email technical@lavalogic.co.uk with the competition and the bib number and we will do it. We do not need anything else to find you, and we will answer within five working days. You can also ask us for a copy of everything the site holds about you.

Children

Junior classes are published with the first name and the nation, and never the surname or the club, unless the organiser confirms they hold consent from a parent or guardian to publish the full name. An organiser who would rather publish nothing at all marks the class bib only. The app has nothing to sign up to and asks a paddler for nothing, so a junior never gives us anything directly. If a junior's name is on this site and you did not agree to it, email us and it comes off the same day we read it.

Contact

technical@lavalogic.co.uk. FloStyle and this website are made by Lava Logic, which is the data controller for what the site holds. Write to us first: if we cannot put something right, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
