Privacy Policy

Effective 29 September 2026. This policy explains how personal information is handled when you use the Drifting Showdown website, buy a ticket or driver entry, submit a car show or media application, contact the event team or use related event services.

Information we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect your name, email address, mobile number, postcode, ticket or driver-entry selection, selected event day, booking and payment status, QR ticket and gate check-in information, discount-code usage, and information you provide in a car show application such as vehicle details, a description and uploaded photo, and media application details such as your social media name or handle.

Payments are processed through Stripe. Drifting Showdown does not need to store your full card number or card security code.

How we use information

We use information to take and manage bookings, process and confirm payments, issue QR tickets, validate entry at the gate, handle refunds, manage driver entries, car show applications and media applications, respond to enquiries, prevent misuse or duplicate entry, administer the event and understand event demand and attendance.

Service providers

We use service providers to operate the website and ticketing system, including Stripe for payment processing, Resend for transactional ticket email, Vercel for website hosting and Supabase for secure event and booking data storage. Those providers may process information as needed to provide their services.

Cookies and analytics

Essential browser storage is used for website and checkout operation and to remember privacy choices. Optional analytics or marketing technologies are only enabled in accordance with the choices offered through the cookie controls. See the Cookie Policy.

Security and retention

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect booking and ticket information. Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably required for event administration, accounting, fraud prevention, legal obligations and legitimate business records, then deleted or de-identified where appropriate.

Access, correction and deletion requests

You can ask to access or correct information held about you, or request deletion where it is appropriate and lawful to do so. Some booking, payment or transaction records may need to be retained for legal, accounting or dispute-management reasons.
