• Social Media Data: We have pages (“Social Media Pages”) on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram (each a “Social Media Site”). The platforms that host our Social Media Pages or Social Media Features may provide us with aggregate information and analytics regarding the use of our Social Media Pages and Social Media Features.

Metadata includes information on how, when, where and by whom a piece of content was collected and how that content has been formatted or edited. Metadata also includes information that users can add or can have added to their content, such as keywords, geographical or location information, and other similar data.

• Cookies Data: We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and administer our Site and Scaletra Apps, make it easier for you to use the Site and Scaletra Apps during future visits, and gather usage data on our Site and Scaletra Apps.
• Device Data: Includes the model of the device, operating system, and browser you are using. Information collected may depend on the type of device you use and its settings. We may also collect data from your device to estimate a variety of metrics like the time, distance and elevation, frequency and duration of, number of steps and calories burned during, your activities for the purpose of calculating your Usage and Activity Data (described below).

How We Share and Disclose Personal Data?

We do not sell Personal Data to anyone and only share information with third parties when necessary to provide services like fitness app integrations, advertise, or comply with legal requests; users can control what information is shared through their privacy settings. Users need to give explicit permission before Scaletra shares personally identifiable information with advertising partners.

Scaletra maintains a user experience largely free from traditional advertisements. Instead, we offers brands opportunities to engage with our active community through initiatives like Sponsored Challenges. These challenges are typically reserved for brands connected to the radio-controlled hobby, car industry, sports and wellness—referred to as "endemic brands"—to ensure authenticity and minimal disruption for users.

Scaletra emphasizes privacy and transparency. While we do not sell personal information for monetary gain, we use third-party cookies for analytics and to serve targeted advertising (when available), contingent upon user consent. Users can manage their cookie preferences and opt out of data sharing for targeted advertising through Strava's privacy controls.

In certain circumstances, we may share your Personal Data with third parties without further notice to you, unless required by the law, as set forth below:

• Affiliates: Other companies in our corporate group may help us deliver our Service to you.
• Vendors and Service Providers: To assist us in meeting business operations needs and to perform certain services and functions, we may share Personal Data with service providers, including hosting (such as Linode), cloud services and other information technology services providers (such as Mapbox); email communication software providers (such as Zoho, Mailgun) and email newsletter providers (such as Mailchimp); database and sales services; customer relationship management, customer engagement, and customer feedback services; payment processors; security services; and analytics services. Pursuant to our instructions, these parties will access, process or store Personal Data in the course of performing their duties to us.
• Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of all or a portion of our assets, or transition of service to another provider, your Personal Data and other information may be shared in the diligence process with counterparties and others assisting with the transaction and transferred to a successor or affiliate as part of that transaction along with other assets.
• Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including to respond to lawful requests from public authorities and to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, (ii) protect and defend our rights or property, (iii) prevent fraud, (iv) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Site, or the public, or (v) protect against legal liability.
• Other Users: Your profile and other User Generated Content (except for private messages when available) may be visible to other users of the Service (which may include all users of the Service or a limited number of users, depending on your privacy settings). For example, other users of the Service may have access to your information if you chose to make your profile or other personal information available to them through the Service, and may also have access to content that you submit to the Service such as when you provide comments, reviews, survey responses, or share other content. This information can be seen, collected and used by others, including being cached, copied, screen captured or stored elsewhere by others (e.g., search engines), and we are not responsible for any such use of information.

Boom Racing vehicles registered on the Scaletra App are automatically synced between the Boom Racing Web and the Scaletra App. Scaletra sends Boom Racing vehicle information, including registered models, model status, mileage data, and vehicle activity dates to Boom Racing Web to keep the vehicle profiles synced between the Boom Racing Web and the Scaletra App. We may work with other manufacturers in the future.

Certain data may be retained for specific reasons, including vehicle data mileage that are kept in our database.

To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Data, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we use your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children who are under the age of 13. Children under 13 are prohibited from creating Scaletra accounts.
