    Hutka

    Privacy Policy

    Last updated: 15/05/2026 · Operator: Hutka, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

    1. Who we are

    Hutka ("we", "our", "us") operates the Hutka karting social network at hutkakart.com and the related mobile applications. We are based in the United Arab Emirates and process your personal data in accordance with the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data ("PDPL") and, where applicable, equivalent international standards.

    2. What we collect

    • Account data: email address, full name, optional avatar and biography.
    • Content you publish: posts, comments, photos, videos, race results you upload, and messages you send.
    • Social graph: friends, teams and groups you join.
    • Device & log data: IP address, browser, OS, push notification token, basic analytics events needed to keep the service stable and secure.

    We do not currently collect government-issued documents, payment card numbers, weight, guardian information or medical data. If we re-enable booking features in future we will update this policy first.

    3. Why we use it

    • To create and operate your account and profile.
    • To deliver the social feed, messaging, AI Coach and result tracking features you request.
    • To send transactional notifications (sign-in codes, replies, mentions).
    • To detect abuse, fraud and to keep the platform secure.
    • To comply with our legal obligations under UAE law.

    4. Legal basis

    We rely on your consent when you sign up, on the performance of our terms when we deliver the service to you, and on our legitimate interests in keeping the platform safe and improving it.

    5. Sharing

    Public content (posts, profile name, avatar, public stats) is visible to everyone, including search engines, unless you mark it otherwise in Privacy Settings. We share data with service providers (hosting, email delivery, push notification gateways) strictly to run the platform, and with authorities when legally required.

    6. International transfers

    Our backend is hosted on infrastructure that may store data outside the UAE. We rely on appropriate safeguards (contractual commitments with our processors and adequacy assessments) so that your data continues to be protected to UAE PDPL standards.

    7. Retention

    We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account from the in-app settings, we erase your profile, posts, messages and uploads within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (for example, to defend a legal claim).

    8. Your rights

    Under the UAE PDPL you can request access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction of processing and portability of your data. Contact us at privacy@hutkakart.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the UAE Data Office.

    9. Children

    Hutka is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has signed up, contact us and we will remove the account.

    10. Changes

    We will post any updates to this page and, for material changes, notify you in-app or by email. See also our Terms of Service.
