Account information — your name and email address, provided via Clerk authentication (Google, GitHub, or email sign-in)
Usage data — which race event URLs you load, saved sessions, and championship data you create
Billing information — subscription tier and Stripe customer ID (we do not store card details — Stripe handles all payment data)

We do not collect data from visitors who have not created an account, beyond standard server logs.
