When using the Android App "Hike n Fly Live Tracking" or iOS App "Hike n Fly Live Tracking", your current GPS coordinates are recorded by the app and sent via a encrypted connection to our live tracking system, which is hosted on secure Swiss servers. This never happens unnoticed (in the background), because a corresponding notification informs you about the recording and the number of recorded points. This notification cannot be wiped away. In addition, a short 'Hey-I'm-still-running' beep sounds every 30 minutes for the duration of the recording. If you forget to stop the recording, it will stop automatically after 10 hours.
The data is never forwarded by us. We also do not use any plugins or services from third parties, which means that no automated data transfer to third parties or further servers at home or abroad takes place. In particular, we do not use any analysis services such as Google Analytics.
To make the race evaluation possible and to offer you an optimal service, your track, your current position, your first name and the first letter of your surname are visible online on the day of the race. It is also possible to download the tracks within 40 hours after the start of the race. With your participation in the Engelberg Cup you have agreed to this form of data processing.
In order to be able to react to any objections, we keep the position data for 30 days. You can request the earlier deletion of your position data at any time. To do so, send us a short message via our contact page. Your name, score and times can also be seen on the ranking list published on the website. We store these for a longer period of time. Deletion from the ranking list is also possible if you send us a corresponding request. We send the ranking list of the pro category to the X-Alps Academy Swiss Cup to enable its annual ranking. If you do not want this, please let us know.
If you have registered, you will appear on the web start list with your first and last name and the start category. If you do not want this, you can let us know via our contact page. We will then suppress the advertisement. The information about you (slogan, sponsors, photo etc.) can be left blank. The information about your paraglider can also be left blank, but we do not recommend this, as we will be less able to help you in an emergency.
We will not pass on any other data about you (email address, mobile phone number, etc.). However, we keep them in order to be able to inform you about the next year's event. If you do not want this, please let us know via our contact page.
As already mentioned, we do not use any analysis services such as Google Analytics on our webpage. Nevertheless, we use cookies, but exclusively to support the registration and to secure the payment process. By processing the fee transfer with Paypal, certain data becomes known to this payment service provider. The privacy policy of PayPal applies here.
