Privacy Policy

At Group S Racing™, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data in compliance with global data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).

3. Data Sharing & Sponsor Access

We only share your information with trusted third party sponsors that you chose to race with to operate and enhance the Group S™ experience:

Sponsors: Only those you actively race with or engage through sponsored SimGroups™. Your data helps build real opportunities in motorsports and unlock sponsor-supported rewards (e.g., gift cards, race entry, gear).

Vendors & Tools: For website, analytics, and payment processing (e.g., Wix, Discord, Whop, Stripe).

4. Our Community-Driven Commitment to Data

We believe in transparent and positive data sharing. When you participate in a sponsored event or SimGroup™:

🏁 Your data is shared only with the sponsor you chose to race with. Your participation helps make motorsports, racecars, and racing as a whole more accessible to more people. By giving your permission, you help real companies support sim racing — and in return, you get access to rewards, content, and a better connection to real-world motorsports.

Group S™ is a community-first platform. We never misuse data or share it beyond what’s needed to build meaningful racing experiences. Your engagement powers everything. If at any time you wish to stop sharing your data with sponsors, you can easily opt out by sending your request here
