xRegatta
Privacy
xRegatta keeps as little about you as it can: a skipper name, and the number Google gives your account. No email address, no password, no advertising, no tracking.

1 · What is kept
If you only practise alone
Nothing. The game runs in your browser and no account is needed.
If you sign in to race
- Your skipper name, the one you choose: other skippers see it in the rooms and on the water.
- Google's identifier for your account: a number, so that the same Google account always finds the same skipper. Google's screen says it will share your name, email address and picture; xRegatta does not read, use or keep them.
- The date your account was made.
- Your session: a fingerprint of the cookie that keeps you signed in, for up to 30 days.
If you have the pro plan
- That your account has it, and since when.
- The private room you have open: its random name, and when it closes (a day after it was opened, at the latest).
If you join a private room as a guest
The name you type is used for that visit to the room and is not kept afterwards. No account is made.
If you send feedback
Your message, the language of the page, your skipper name if you were signed in, and whatever you chose to write in the contact box (it may be left empty). Only the people who run xRegatta can read it.
2 · What is not kept
- Races. Where you sailed, how you finished and whom you raced against are forgotten when the race is over.
- Your network address. To stop one connection from flooding the site, a short fingerprint of the address is counted for a few minutes to a day, then deleted; the address itself is never written down. The race server sees your address while you are connected, for the same purpose, and does not store it.
- Anything about your device, your location or your contacts.
The race server writes a line in its log when a skipper enters or leaves a room, with the skipper name. These logs are for finding faults and are not kept for long.
3 · Cookies and your browser
xRegatta sets only the cookies it needs to work. There are no advertising or analytics cookies, and no scripts from other companies.
| Name | What it is for | How long |
|---|---|---|
xregatta_session | Keeps you signed in | 30 days, or until you sign out |
xregatta_signin | Checks that the answer from Google is the one you asked for | 10 minutes |
xregatta_newcomer | Remembers that you have signed in while you choose a name | 30 minutes |
Your browser also remembers your choice of language (English or French) on your own device. It is never sent anywhere.
4 · Where it is kept, and who else is involved
- Cloudflare serves the website and holds its database.
- Fly.io runs the race server.
- Google signs you in. It learns that you signed in to xRegatta, and nothing about what you do here.
Like any host, Cloudflare and Fly.io handle the technical details of each connection (such as your network address) to deliver the pages and to protect the service, under their own privacy policies. xRegatta sells nothing and shares nothing with anyone else.
5 · Seeing, changing or deleting what is kept
- Sign out, at the top of the front page, ends your session on that browser.
- To have your account deleted, sign in and say so in the feedback box on the front page. Your skipper name, Google's identifier and your sessions are then deleted, and the name becomes free for someone else.
- To ask what is kept about you, or to have a feedback message removed, use the same box.
- You can also withdraw xRegatta's access from your Google account at any time, in your Google account's settings.

If what xRegatta keeps changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top says when.
