Privacy policy

FIGURA collects only the data needed to operate the competitions database, subscriptions, analytics, and optional email updates.

Controller and contact

FIGURA is the operator of the website at www.figuraskate.com. For privacy requests, corrections, deletion, or questions, contact hello@figuraskate.com. We do not currently appoint a separate Data Protection Officer.

Newsletter consent

The footer newsletter form is currently an interest signal only: it records a newsletter signup analytics event and does not send or store the typed email address on our server. When email updates are enabled, we will use submitted email addresses only for the updates requested. Consent will be optional and can be withdrawn at any time by contacting us at hello@figuraskate.com.

Data we process

We may process email addresses submitted through the subscription or paywall form, the page path where the form was submitted, cookie-based free-view and paywall state, page-view and event analytics, and technical logs required to keep the service secure and reliable. Public competition, federation, club, venue, coach, athlete, and judge pages may also show contact details that were published by the relevant organization or source.

Purposes and legal bases

  • Providing the service: displaying the competition database, free-view limit, paywall state, and requested pages. Legal basis: performance of a service requested by you and our legitimate interest in operating the product.
  • Subscription and paywall leads: storing the email address and source path submitted through the paywall or subscription form so we can contact you about trial access or full access. Legal basis: your request before entering a subscription and our legitimate interest in responding to that request.
  • Newsletter interest: the footer newsletter form currently records only a signup-intent analytics event. When email delivery is enabled, email updates will be sent only with consent.
  • Analytics and product improvement: measuring page views, performance, and feature usage. Legal basis: legitimate interest for privacy-preserving measurement; consent will be used if we enable analytics storage or non-essential cookies that require it.
  • Public catalog records: showing competition, federation, venue, club, coach, athlete, and judge information from official or publicly available sources. Legal basis: legitimate interest in maintaining a factual sports directory and archive.
  • Security and abuse prevention: technical logs, admin protection, and system reliability. Legal basis: legitimate interest and legal obligation where applicable.

Analytics and measurement

FIGURA uses Vercel Analytics, Vercel Speed Insights, Google Tag Manager (GTM-KJ96Z2GR), and Google Analytics 4 (Measurement ID: G-2RRQHGM80W). Google Consent Mode v2 is initialized with analytics and advertising storage denied by default; GA4 therefore operates in cookieless mode (no analytics cookies are set) until consent is explicitly granted. We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies. Analytics events may include page views, competition card views, filter usage, save/calendar/share actions, subscription clicks, lead submissions, and newsletter signup intent. These events are used to understand product usage and improve the service.

Processors and third-party services

We use service providers to host, secure, measure, and operate FIGURA. Current processors include Vercel for hosting, analytics, and speed insights; Google LLC for Tag Manager (GTM-KJ96Z2GR) and Google Analytics 4 (G-2RRQHGM80W); the database provider used for application data; and email infrastructure when we reply to requests or enable email updates. These providers process data only to provide their services to FIGURA.

International transfers

Our providers may process data outside your country, including outside the European Economic Area. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or the provider’s equivalent transfer mechanism.

Retention

  • Free-view cookies expire after 30 days.
  • Paywall-dismissal cookies expire after 1 day or 30 days depending on the action.
  • Trial/subscription state cookies expire after 365 days unless cleared earlier.
  • Paywall lead emails are kept until the lead is handled, deletion is requested, or they are no longer needed for access communication.
  • Technical logs and analytics are kept according to the retention settings of the relevant provider.
  • Public catalog and archive records are kept while they remain useful for the sports database, unless corrected or removed after a valid request.

Paywall and subscription leads

If you leave your email in the subscription or paywall form, we store it to contact you about trial access or full database access. We also set cookies that remember viewed competition cards, whether the paywall was dismissed, and whether access should be treated as active in the current product flow. See the Cookie policy for cookie names and lifetimes.

Your rights

If you are in the EU, UK, or another region with privacy rights, you can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to processing of your personal data. You can also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Send requests to hello@figuraskate.com. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
