Privacy policy

ULTRA RACE is a Garmin Connect IQ data field from Falkster.com (San Francisco, California, USA). The data field collects nothing about you and sends nothing anywhere. This website uses Google Analytics, only if you accept (details below).

What ULTRA RACE reads

While an activity is running it reads what Garmin gives every data field: time, distance, speed, heart rate, ascent, location (for sunrise and sunset) and, on watches with navigation, the name of and distance to the next point of the course you’re following. It reads its own settings (your aid-station plan and fuel numbers) and the battery level.

What it stores, and where

On your watch only: a small record of the current race (start, stations passed, time in aid stations) and the fuel ledger, so a crash or “resume later” doesn’t reset them. It is cleared when you save or discard the activity, unless the race was 6 hours or more in and short of the finish: then it stays for 12 hours, so a new activity after a dead or restarted watch can carry the race on (a setting turns this off). It is ignored after 7 days.

Your activity file

ULTRA RACE writes the carbs and fluid you took, your cutoff margin and your time in aid stations into your activity file (as Connect IQ fields). That file is yours and syncs to Garmin Connect under Garmin’s privacy policy.

The planner

The race planner on this site runs in your browser. A GPX file you load is read there and never uploaded; your plan is kept only in your browser’s storage, so it’s still there next time.

What it never does

ULTRA RACE has no internet permission, no account and no server. It cannot send, sell or share anything, and we have no copy of your data.

Garmin

Garmin’s Connect IQ Store, Garmin Connect and your watch are covered by Garmin’s own privacy policy.

If you accept, Google Analytics sets cookies on falkster.com to recognise repeat visits. There are no ads, nothing is sold, and nothing tracks you across other sites.

Your choice is stored in a cookie for six months and covers every falkster app site.
