RaceLive.net ("RaceLive," "we," "us," or "our") provides a live streaming platform for endurance sports events, including multi-camera broadcasting, AI-powered camera switching, and optional bib number detection. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.
By using RaceLive — whether as an event organizer, a volunteer streamer, or a viewer — you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
Important notice for event attendees and athletes: If you attend or participate in an event broadcast on RaceLive, your image may be captured on video by volunteer camera operators working on behalf of the event organizer. Please read Section 3 (Video Data and AI Processing) and Section 4 (Bib Number Detection) carefully.
When you create an account to organize events, we collect:
When you create an event, we store the details you provide: event name, date, time, venue, description, sport type, and configuration settings (number of cameras, bib tracking enabled/disabled, participant count).
We generate RTMP stream keys and ingest endpoints for each camera channel in your event. These are stored encrypted and are only accessible to the event organizer through their authenticated dashboard. Stream keys are automatically rotated after an event concludes.
We automatically collect certain technical information when you use RaceLive:
Public event streams can be watched without an account. We do not require viewers to log in or provide personal information to watch a public event. We may log IP addresses for abuse prevention purposes.
RaceLive enables event organizers to broadcast live video of sporting events. Volunteer camera operators stream video from smartphones or cameras placed along the race course. This video may capture the images of athletes, spectators, and bystanders in public spaces.
Events broadcast on RaceLive take place in public or semi-public venues. Participation in or attendance at a public race event does not carry a reasonable expectation of privacy from being filmed. Event organizers are responsible for notifying participants and spectators that the event may be broadcast live.
RaceLive uses an AI model to automatically select between multiple camera feeds during a live broadcast. This model analyzes video frames to assess:
The camera-switching AI processes video frames in real time for broadcast decisions only. It does not identify, tag, or build profiles of any individual person. Frames analyzed for camera switching are not stored beyond the immediate processing window.
RaceLive does not use facial recognition technology. We do not identify individuals by their face, build facial feature databases, match faces across events, or use facial data for any purpose. The AI systems we operate process video for bib numbers and broadcast quality — not for identity recognition.
Live event video is recorded automatically during the broadcast. Recordings are stored on secure cloud infrastructure (Amazon Web Services) and are accessible to the event organizer through their dashboard. Recordings are retained for 90 days after the event, after which they are permanently deleted unless the organizer has exported a copy. Event organizers are responsible for how they use, share, or distribute recordings from their events.
Event organizers may optionally enable bib number tracking for their event. When enabled, an AI model processes video frames from all camera feeds to detect and read the numeric bib numbers worn by race participants. This allows athletes to find footage in which they appear based on their race bib number.
Bib number detection reads visible printed numbers from race bibs. It does not use facial recognition, biometric data, gait analysis, or any other method to identify individuals beyond reading the bib number they are wearing.
When a bib number is detected, we store:
We do not store still frames or image crops of athletes in association with bib detections. The detection record contains a number, a time, and a camera reference — not an image.
Some event organizers provide a participant roster (athlete name and bib number) to enable a personalized athlete experience. When this data is provided:
Bib detection events (number, time, camera) for public events are accessible via a public API endpoint to power the live bib tracker on the public event page. No personally identifiable information is included in this data — only the bib number, timestamp, and camera index.
Bib number detection operates on the basis of legitimate interests — specifically, the legitimate interest of event participants who wish to locate footage of themselves, and the legitimate interest of event organizers in offering this feature to participants. Athletes opt into bib tracking as part of registering for an event organized on RaceLive. Event organizers are responsible for obtaining appropriate consent from their participants when enabling this feature.
If you are a race participant and do not wish your bib number to appear in the bib tracking system, please contact the event organizer directly. They can request removal of detections associated with your bib number from their event dashboard.
We use the data we collect to:
We do not use your personal data to serve behavioral advertising. We do not sell your data to third parties.
We share personal data only in the following circumstances:
We use third-party services to operate RaceLive. These providers process data only on our behalf and under our instructions:
If you are an athlete whose bib number appears in an event, the event organizer who created that event on RaceLive has access to bib detection data for their events. They are responsible for handling that data in accordance with applicable law.
We may disclose personal data if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of RaceLive, our users, or the public.
If RaceLive is acquired by or merged with another entity, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify affected users via email or a prominent notice on our site before any such transfer occurs.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@racelive.net. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
If you are a race participant seeking removal of bib detection data, please also contact the event organizer directly, as they control the event data for their events.
