LearnSpeedClimbing ("we", "us") runs this website to teach speed climbing and point people toward our community. This policy explains what data we handle and how. We keep it minimal on purpose.

The short version

This is a static website. We do not run advertising, we do not use analytics or tracking pixels, and we do not sell or share your data. We do not ask you to create an account or hand over personal information to read anything here.

What we collect

  • Only what you choose to submit. The submit-a-time and submit-a-wall forms store what you type (your name, the time or wall details, and an email if you add one) so we can review it and publish the result. We no longer run an email newsletter and no longer collect email addresses for one. Joining the community happens on Skool (see "Other services" below), where their privacy policy applies to anything you enter there.
  • Almost nothing stored in your browser. Reading the site sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, which is why there is no cookie banner. Using a form is the exception: submitting a time saves the wall and climber name you entered so your next submission is filled in, and rating a wall saves a note that you already rated it. Both live in your browser's local storage, never reach us, and can be cleared from the form itself. Full detail on the Cookie Policy page.
  • Standard server logs. Like almost every website, our hosting provider may automatically record basic technical information (such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested) to keep the site secure and running. These logs are not used to identify or profile you.

Cookies

We set no cookies. The only things we store on your device are the two form conveniences described above, in local storage, which is never sent to us. We do not set advertising or analytics cookies and we do not use any identifier that would let us recognise you across visits or across sites. Full detail, item by item, is on our Cookie Policy page.

Other services we link to

  • Skool. Our community is hosted on Skool. If you click through and join, your information is handled under Skool's own privacy policy, not this one.
  • Climbing gyms & event organizers. Our wall map and events pages link to third-party websites. Once you follow those links, their policies apply.

Video and imagery on this site are hosted by us directly, so watching the hero video does not load third-party trackers.

Your rights

Because we don't collect personal data through this site, there is normally nothing for us to access, correct or delete. If you believe we hold information about you, or you have a question about privacy, contact us and we'll help. Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the UK GDPR or GDPR to access or erase personal data.

Changes

If we ever add features that handle personal data (for example a newsletter), we'll update this page first. The "last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
