Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-06-08 Here's how MotionCove handles your information when you're using the game or visiting our website. We want to be clear about what we collect, what we do with it, and what rights you have. We use your personal data to send you updates, give you early access to seasonal content, and keep track of things like your tidal forecast preferences and track conditions. Your information stays with MotionCove. We don't share it across different divisions, and you'll only hear from us about stuff that's actually relevant to your sim-racing and how you play. By using MotionCove, you're agreeing to how we collect and use information the way we describe in this policy.
Interpretation and Definitions
Interpretation
When you see capitalized words throughout this policy, they have specific meanings. Those definitions stay the same whether they're singular or plural.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy: MotionCove (also called "Company", "We", "Us", or "Our") is what runs this coastal sim-racing game and everything that goes with it. Cookies are those little data files that websites store on your device to remember things about your browsing and preferences. Country means: USA. Device is anything you can use to access MotionCove—a computer, phone, tablet, whatever. Personal Data is information that identifies you or could reasonably be used to figure out who you are. Third-party Social Media Service refers to other platforms where you can log in with your account or connect with our community. Usage Data gets collected automatically from your gameplay—think session length, which races you've done, your position on leaderboards. You refers to whoever's using MotionCove.
Collecting and Using Your Personal Data
Types of Data Collected
Personal Data When you register or start using MotionCove, we might ask for personally identifiable information depending on how you interact with the game. It helps us deliver content that matters to you and understand your preferences. Here's what we might collect: Email address First and last name Address, State, Province, ZIP/Postal code, City Phone number Usage Data
Usage Data
We collect usage data automatically while you're playing. This includes browser type, IP address, which pages you visited, when you visited them, how long your sessions last, and diagnostic info. If you're on mobile, we grab device type, operating system, and browser info too. Within MotionCove itself, we're collecting gameplay metrics so we can improve the physics simulation, tidal mechanics, and how the tracks feel. That includes how you explore cave passages and how the game performs for you. Your browser also sends us information whenever you're accessing our website or launching the game through a mobile device. If you decide to link a third-party social media account during sign-up, you're giving us permission to store that information according to this policy.
Tracking Technologies and Cookies
We use cookies and other tracking tech to keep an eye on what you're doing and remember your preferences in MotionCove. Beacons, tags, and scripts help us analyze gameplay and make things run better. Browser cookies store data about your sessions and settings. A cookie is basically a small file that gets placed on your device. Your browser can block cookies entirely if you want, though some features might not work right. You can change your cookie settings anytime through your browser preferences. Turning off cookies could mean you can't access certain MotionCove features or leaderboard stuff.
Embedded content from other websites
MotionCove sometimes includes embedded content from other sources like videos, images, and articles. When you interact with embedded content, it behaves pretty much like you're visiting that external website directly. Those external sites can collect data about you, use their own cookies, track what you're doing, and monitor how you interact with their embedded content—especially if you're already logged into their accounts.
Use of Your Personal Data
We use your personal data for things like: Providing and maintaining MotionCove, which includes tracking your gameplay statistics and leaderboard activity. Getting in touch with you through email, phone, SMS, or other electronic messages about game updates, seasonal changes, new track features, or security patches. Sending you news about tidal forecast updates, special racing events, seasonal championships, and other sim-racing stuff similar to what you've shown interest in before—unless you opt out. Handling your requests like gameplay support, technical problems, and account management. Other stuff like analyzing gameplay trends, seeing how well events are working, and improving the physics simulation and environmental storytelling. When you give us permission, we might use your information for other purposes too.
Retention of Your Personal Data
We keep your personal data around only as long as we need it for the reasons laid out in this policy. Generally that's about a year, or around seven years if there's a payment involved. If you're getting MotionCove updates, event notifications, or championship news from us, we keep that indefinitely unless you ask us to delete it. We also hang onto personal data if we're legally required to (tax records, settling disputes) or if we need it to enforce our terms. Usage data stays around for internal analysis. If MotionCove ever shuts down, we'll delete the data we're keeping unless there's a legal reason to hold onto it.
Management of Your Personal Data
You can ask us to export all the personal data we have about you, including your gameplay stats and account info. You can also ask us to delete your data, except for stuff we're legally required to keep. You have the right to request that we delete your personal data from our servers. You can update, change, or delete your account information whenever you want by emailing us. Keep in mind we might hold onto certain information for administrative, legal, or security reasons if the law requires it. When MotionCove closes down, we'll delete everything we're not required to keep.
Transfer of Your Personal Data
Your information, including personal data, gets processed at Company facilities and might be transferred to computers in a different country where privacy laws could be different. By agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you're accepting that this could happen.
Disclosure of Your Personal Data
We don't sell your data to third parties, but there are a few situations where we might share it:
Business Transactions
If MotionCove gets involved in a merger, acquisition, or we're selling off assets, your personal data might get transferred. We'll give you a heads up before that happens and fill you in on the new privacy policy.
Law Enforcement
We might have to give up personal data if the law requires it or if we get a valid request from authorities like courts or government agencies.
Other Legal Requirements
There are times we might disclose personal data in good faith when it's necessary to: Follow the law. Protect and defend what the Company owns or has rights to. Look into something wrong happening with MotionCove. Keep users and the public safe. Protect ourselves from legal trouble.
Security of Your Personal Data
We care about keeping your personal data secure, but honestly, nothing on the internet or in digital storage is completely bulletproof. We use industry-standard protections, but we can't promise 100% security. We do take reasonable steps to make sure your data is handled safely according to this policy. Personal data only gets transferred to organizations that have decent security measures in place.
Children's Privacy
We don't intentionally collect personally identifiable information from anyone under thirteen. If you're a parent or guardian and you know your child gave us personal data, reach out. If we find out we've collected information from someone under thirteen without parental consent, we'll delete it from our servers. In places where parental consent is required before we collect data from kids, we'll ask for it first.
Links to Other Websites
MotionCove might have links to websites we don't run. If you click on third-party links, you're heading to their site. We really recommend checking out their Privacy Policies. We don't have any control over what's on those external sites, how they handle your privacy, or what their policies say.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We might update this Privacy Policy every now and then. When we do, we post the changes here and update the "Last updated" date. We'll let you know about major changes through email or a noticeable notice before they go into effect. It's worth checking back on this policy occasionally to see what's changed. Updates take effect as soon as they're posted.
Data Breach Notification
We follow GDPR and BDSG rules for notifying people about data breaches and we maintain solid security practices.
Notification Criteria
When a breach involves sensitive data, we report it to the right authorities quickly, like GDPR and BDSG say we have to.
Notification to Individuals
If a breach could seriously mess with someone's rights, we'll notify them without dragging our feet. The notification covers what happened, what it means for them, what we're doing about it, and how they can protect themselves, all per GDPR requirements.
Documentation
We keep detailed records of every breach, including what happened, when we figured it out, how we responded, and who we told. That documentation helps us stay compliant and keeps pushing us to get better at security. We take this stuff seriously.
