    Next Lap Privacy Policy

    Welcome to Next Lap — the place where athletes, almost-athletes, and thinking-about-starting-again humans come to track races and dreams.

    TL;DR - We don't sell your data. Ever. And we don't play shady laps with it.

    1.

    Purpose / Overview

    Next Lap helps you:

    • Explore races
    • Track your race interests ("Doing / Maybe / Bucket List")
    • Build your personal race calendar
    • Share reflections on your sports journey

    If we launch race registrations, training plans, or ads, we'll explain what additional data we may collect and how we use it.

    TL;DR - We help you track races, plan, and reflect. Nothing sneaky.

    2.

    What We Collect

    We collect only what we need:

    • Basic info: Name, email
    • Profile info: Bio, sports, goals, reflections
    • Race calendar & interests
    • Images you upload
    • Usage analytics (which pages you visit, clicks/scrolls, not your private messages)

    Future features: Registration or training plans may collect payment info, fitness data, or workout progress - securely and with consent.

    TL;DR - Only stuff we need to make Next Lap work. No creepy data hoarding.

    3.

    How We Use Your Data

    We use your data to:

    • Log you in
    • Personalize your profile & race calendar
    • Display your public profile (if you allow)
    • Improve the platform
    • Ensure security and prevent bugs

    Future features: Payments, training plans, or ads will use only the data required to operate those features.

    TL;DR - We use your info to make the app work for you. Nothing more.

    4.

    How We Share Your Data

    We only share data with:

    • Supabase: our secure database
    • Vercel: hosting & performance
    • Google Tag Manager (GTM) / Google Analytics: to understand page views and feature usage
    • Hotjar: heatmaps + session recordings to improve UX
    • Microsoft Clarity: heatmaps + session recordings to improve UX
    • PostHog: product analytics + feature flags (stores an anonymous ID in localStorage)
    • Vercel Analytics: site performance + basic usage metrics

    Future features: Registrations or ads may involve payment processors or ad networks, always disclosed clearly.

    TL;DR - Only the folks who help run Next Lap can see your data. No one else.

    5.

    Cookies

    We use cookies for:

    • Login sessions
    • Smooth performance
    • Analytics + session replay (Hotjar/Clarity/PostHog may use cookies or localStorage)

    You can limit this in your browser settings (block cookies, block third-party scripts, or use tracking protection).

    We do not use cookies to sell your data or track you across the web.

    TL;DR - Cookies make Next Lap work better. Nothing shady.

    6.

    User Content & IP

    • You own all content you upload (reflections, images, etc.).
    • You grant Next Lap a limited license to display it on your profile.
    • We do not use your content for ads without asking.

    TL;DR - Your stuff = yours. We just show it on your profile.

    7.

    Security

    We take reasonable steps to protect your data using industry-standard practices.

    But no system is 100% perfect, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

    TL;DR - We lock the doors, but remember, digital life is never foolproof.

    8.

    Minors

    If you're under 18, use Next Lap with parental guidance.

    We do not knowingly collect data from minors without consent.

    TL;DR - Kids, get parental supervision.

    9.

    Data Retention

    We keep your data as long as your account exists.

    If you delete your account, everything is deleted.

    TL;DR - You can leave anytime and we delete your info. Promise.

    10.

    Your Rights

    You can:

    • Access your data
    • Edit it
    • Delete it
    • Delete your account entirely
    • Ask us to erase all your information

    TL;DR - You're the boss of your data.

    11.
