1. Who we are
Bike Racing Stats (“we”, “our”, “us”) is an independent, unofficial cycling statistics project providing statistical analysis and commentary on Irish competitive cycling.
Bike Racing Stats is not affiliated with or operated by Cycling Ireland.
For privacy questions, corrections or requests relating to information used by Bike Racing Stats, contact: [email protected].
2. What personal data we use
We compile information relating to Irish competitive cycling from publicly available sources. These sources may include sporting organisations, race organisers, publicly available race results and rankings, race reports, websites, social media and other publicly available sources.
The information used by Bike Racing Stats is obtained from these publicly accessible sources and is not generally collected directly from the riders concerned.
The information we use may include:
- Rider name or abbreviated name
- Cycling club
- Gender and racing category
- Event and race information
- Finishing position and points awarded
- Other publicly available result information relevant to our statistical analysis
Where riders are identified in public-facing content, we generally use a first initial and surname rather than a full first name.
We seek to limit the information we publish to information that is relevant to competitive cycling and our statistical analysis.
3. How we use this information
We use publicly available cycling information to produce independent statistics, rankings and commentary, including analysis of rider performance, race results, points accumulation and recent form.
Our analysis may be presented through this website, Power BI reports and visualisations, Instagram and other social media channels.
We do not sell or share rider information with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Legal basis for processing
Where the information we use constitutes personal data, our primary legal basis for processing it is legitimate interests. Our legitimate interest is providing independent statistical analysis and commentary about competitive cycling.
We seek to ensure that our use of information is necessary and proportionate to this purpose and that we use only information relevant to competitive cycling analysis.
5. Data minimisation and retention
We seek to use only the information necessary for our statistical analysis. We do not intentionally collect or publish private personal information unrelated to competitive cycling.
We retain cycling results and related analytical data for as long as reasonably necessary to provide historical and current statistical analysis. Public-facing content may remain available after publication where it forms part of the historical record of our analysis.
Contact enquiries and privacy requests will generally be retained only for as long as necessary to deal with the request and maintain an appropriate record of it.
6. Accuracy and requests
Our analysis is generated from cycling results and rankings and may contain errors or discrepancies. If you believe information relating to you has been presented incorrectly, please contact us so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, correct it.
If you have a question about the use of information relating to you, wish to request access or correction, or wish to raise an objection to our processing, please contact [email protected].
We will consider requests in accordance with applicable data-protection law. Data-protection rights are subject to certain limitations and exceptions.
7. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights including access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate information, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and data portability. You may also withdraw consent where we rely on consent.
To exercise your rights, email [email protected].
8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data under our control.
9. Complaints
