Welcome to Air de Piste. We are a motorsport brand and publication dedicated to the next generation of fans. This policy explains how we handle your data across our three core areas: our free competitions, our news updates, and our premium membership program.
Air de Piste is a digital-first motorsport brand. As we do not maintain a public-facing physical office, our primary point of contact for all data matters is our digital office.
Brand Name: Air de Piste
Contact Email: james@airdepiste.com
We collect data through different “lanes” depending on how you interact with us:
Free Competitions: When you enter a competition or giveaway, we collect your name and email to administer the contest and contact winners.
News & Publications: When you opt-in to our news updates, we collect your email to send you the latest racing insights.
Membership Program: When you join our paid membership, we collect account details (name, email, password) and payment information (processed securely via Stripe).
Fan Insights: We may ask questions about your favorite teams or racing interests to personalise your experience.

We use your information to fuel the Air de Piste experience:
To provide services: Delivering the publication and member-only perks.
To notify winners: Managing our community competitions fairly.
To secure “Insider Benefits”: We use anonymised data to prove our community’s value to partners (e.g., “70% of our fans want travel discounts”) to negotiate better perks for you. We do not sell your personal data.
Newsletters: Until you choose to “retire” (unsubscribe).
Competitions: Data is held for the duration of the contest and a reasonable period after to verify winners.
Memberships: For the life of your active account, plus statutory periods required for financial/ tax records.
To keep the brand running at high speed, we use trusted third-party tools for:
Email Delivery: (e.g., Mailchimp)
Payment Processing: (e.g., Stripe)
