Privacy

This page explains, in plain words, what OCM (Online Cycling Manager, playocm.com) keeps about you, why, where, for how long, and how to get it deleted. Last updated: 4 November 2026.

Who we are

OCM is an independent online game run by Little Foot Studio. If you have a question about your data, use the Contact page or write to hello@playocm.com.

What we collect

• Account: your email address, a scrambled version of your password (we never see or store the password itself), your manager name and team name, your date of birth, and the time you confirmed you are 14 or older.
• Profile (optional): nationality, a short bio and a profile picture, if you add them.
• Game data: your riders, orders, transfers, race results, trophies and in-game messages.
• Community (optional): if you join our Discord, Discord (not us) holds what you post there under Discord's own rules. Older in-game forum posts may still sit in our database until they are removed.
• Page usage: which pages and profile tabs signed-in managers open and for how long. No IP address, browser details or email are stored with it.
• Security logs: your IP address, the time and the page asked for, to keep the site running and block attacks.

Guest play (the one-stage demo) creates no account and stores nothing about you. We do not sell your data, and we do not use advertising trackers.

Why we use it

To run your account and your club, to send you the emails the game needs (confirming your email, password resets, account deletion), to keep the forum safe, to keep the site secure, and to improve the game's layout.

Email (Brevo)

Game emails are sent for us by Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, France). Brevo receives only your email address, your manager name and the email itself, and uses them only to deliver the message for us. We do not send marketing emails.

Where your data is kept

The game and its database run on a server in the European Union, and Brevo is also based in the EU. Your data is protected under EU data-protection law (the GDPR).

If you play from China (or elsewhere outside the EU)

Because the server is in the EU, the details you give us travel from your country to the EU when you sign up and play. This includes players in mainland China, under China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL). We only send what is listed above, only to run the game, and it is kept encrypted in transit (HTTPS). By ticking the box when you sign up you agree to this transfer. You can withdraw that agreement at any time by deleting your account.

How long we keep it

• Account, profile and game data: while your account is open.
• After you delete your account: your email, password, IP addresses, picture, bio and messages are wiped straight away. Your past race results stay in the game history under an anonymous name ("Former manager"), so other players' results still add up.
• Backups: copies of the database are kept for up to 30 days to recover from problems, then deleted automatically. Anything you deleted disappears from backups within 30 days.
• Page usage records: 180 days. Only totals (no names) are kept after that.
• Security logs: about 14 days.
• Unconfirmed sign-ups: may be removed if the email is never confirmed.

Your rights

You can ask us to: show you what we hold about you, correct it, give you a copy, stop using it, or delete it. You can also complain to a data-protection authority in your country. We answer requests within one month. Write to us through the Contact page.

Deleting your account

Sign in, open your Profile and choose Delete account. Type DELETE and your password, then click the link we email you (it works once and expires after 24 hours). That's it. If you can no longer sign in, contact us and we will help.

Age

You must be 14 or older to create an account, or have a parent's or guardian's permission if you are 13. Nobody under 13 can have an account. When you sign up we ask your date of birth and you tick a box to confirm this. If we learn that an account breaks this rule, we will delete it. Parents can ask us to delete a child's account through the Contact page.

Community (Discord)

Player chat has moved off the in-game forum to our Discord server. The in-game forum is closed. Discord is run by Discord Inc.; what you post there follows Discord's terms. We do not copy Discord messages into our game database. Don't post other people's private details.

Payments (not live)

No shop is open today. If we later sell optional extras, PayPal will handle payment and we will only receive what PayPal sends to confirm it (such as a transaction number). We will never store card numbers.

Changes

If we change this notice in an important way, we will say so on the site before the change takes effect.
