Tar Heel Sports Car Club, Inc. (“THSCC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices when you use our website, participate in club activities, or receive our communications.
Information We Collect
When you join THSCC, register for an event, or contact us, we collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, membership details, vehicle information, and event registration information. Registration may also request driver's-license details, driving experience, and safety or medical information relevant to participation.
Much of the registration and payment information is collected through MotorsportReg.com. Information you provide to MotorsportReg is also subject to its privacy policy. THSCC uses the information made available to us to administer memberships and events.
When you visit our website, we and our service providers may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring pages, and interactions with site features. We use this information to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.

Cookies and Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about website activity. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services. We also use cookies to support features such as staff sign-in.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website features. Google also provides a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
SMS/Text Messaging
If you opt in to receive text messages from THSCC, we use your mobile number to send the event-related and club-related updates you agreed to receive. Message frequency varies by event schedule and club activity. Message and data rates may apply.
We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number, SMS opt-in information, or messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Service providers that help us deliver messages may process this information to provide that service on our behalf.
You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, or get help by replying HELP. SMS participation is optional. See our SMS Terms & Conditions for details.
Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers, such as MotorsportReg, website hosting and analytics providers, and our SMS provider, to operate club activities and services. We may also disclose information when required by law. The protections for mobile numbers and SMS consent described above apply to our SMS program.
Event results and related club records may be published on our website, including participant names, vehicle or class information, and results. Links to other services, such as MotorsportReg, Discord, or Facebook, take you to services with their own privacy policies.
Data Retention
We retain information for as long as needed to administer memberships and events, maintain club records, provide the services described here, and meet applicable legal obligations. Retention depends on the type of information and why it was collected. We may retain consent and opt-out records to document your choices and prevent unwanted messages.
Your Choices
Reply STOP to opt out of THSCC text messages. You can also manage information and communication preferences available in your MotorsportReg account. Contact us to ask about, correct, or request deletion of information held by THSCC. Some records may need to be retained for club administration, legal obligations, or to honor an opt-out request.
