## 2. Permitted Use

You may access and view publicly available information on the Website solely for legitimate personal, sporting, informational, organisational, or competition-related purposes.

Normal use of the Website through a conventional web browser by an individual human user is permitted, subject to these Terms of Use.

No other rights are granted unless expressly authorised by Rangemaster Systems in writing.

## 3. Prohibition of Scraping and Automated Access

Without the prior express written permission of Rangemaster Systems, it is strictly prohibited to access, read, retrieve, collect, copy, download, extract, monitor, index, analyse, reproduce, store, or process any information from the Website by automated or semi-automated means.

This prohibition includes, without limitation, the use of:

* web crawlers;

## 5. No Circumvention

You must not circumvent or attempt to circumvent any technical, organisational, security, or contractual measure intended to prevent, restrict, rate-limit, monitor, or detect automated access.

In particular, you must not:

* bypass CAPTCHAs;
* circumvent security or anti-bot systems;
* rotate or disguise IP addresses in order to avoid restrictions;
* use proxies to bypass access restrictions;
* use VPN services to circumvent blocks;
* use botnets;
* use distributed scraping systems;
* use multiple servers to evade rate limits;
* manipulate browser or device fingerprints;
* disguise automated activity as ordinary human activity;
* manipulate HTTP headers for the purpose of avoiding detection;
* circumvent authentication or authorisation controls;
* bypass access-control mechanisms;
* ignore or circumvent robots.txt rules;
* circumvent rate limits;
* exploit undocumented endpoints;
* directly query backend services intended only for use by the Website;
* use internal APIs without written authorisation;
* use multiple accounts or sessions to circumvent restrictions;
* change IP address, host, network, account, or device following a block in order to resume scraping; or
* instruct another person, company, service provider, or automated system to perform prohibited activities on your behalf.

A failure of a technical system to block automated access does not constitute permission for automated access.

## 6. No Bulk Downloading

Bulk downloading, systematic copying, mass extraction, or mass collection of Website content is prohibited.

This applies even where individual pages, results, or data items can technically be accessed manually.

Repeated requests intended to reconstruct all or a substantial part of a competition, event, results database, archive, shooter database, rankings database, configuration database, shooting-ground database, or any other dataset shall be regarded as bulk extraction and are prohibited.

## 7. No Database Extraction

The Website and information made available through it may constitute or form part of databases protected by applicable intellectual-property and database-right legislation.

You may not extract or reutilise all or a substantial part of such databases without prior written authorisation.

Repeated and systematic extraction or reutilisation of individual or otherwise insubstantial parts is also prohibited where such activity conflicts with the normal exploitation of the database or unreasonably prejudices the legitimate interests of Rangemaster Systems or another relevant rights holder.

## 8. No Commercial Reuse

Without prior written permission from Rangemaster Systems, Website information may not be:

* sold or resold;
* licensed or sublicensed;
* republished;
* syndicated;
* redistributed;
* commercially exploited;
* incorporated into another commercial product or service;
* incorporated into another results or competition-management platform;
* used to operate a competing service;
* used to create a competing database;
* used for commercial analytics or statistics;
* used for betting, gambling, or odds generation;
* used for commercial AI or machine-learning training;
* used as a commercial data feed; or
* otherwise made available to third parties for commercial purposes.

## 9. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Unless expressly authorised in writing by Rangemaster Systems, content and data from the Website may not be used for:

* training artificial-intelligence models;
* training machine-learning models;
* fine-tuning models;
* retrieval-augmented-generation datasets;
* embedding or vector databases;
* benchmark datasets;
* model-evaluation datasets;
* automated knowledge extraction;
* commercial search indexes;
* AI-powered search services;
* automated analysis systems; or
* development or operation of competing information or results services.

## 10. Search Engines

General-purpose public search engines may access the Website only to the extent permitted by Rangemaster Systems' technical instructions, robots rules, and access-control mechanisms.

Any such limited permission does not extend to specialised data aggregators, competition-result aggregators, commercial databases, sports-data services, AI crawlers, machine-learning crawlers, scraping services, automated archival systems, or other services whose primary purpose is to collect, reproduce, analyse, or reuse Website data.

Rangemaster Systems may withdraw, restrict, or modify crawler access at any time.

## 11. Intellectual Property

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the Website and its components are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Protected elements may include software, source code, Website structure, database structure, database contents, presentation, graphics, texts, logos, trademarks, result-presentation formats, graphical scoreboards, interfaces, layouts, reports, documentation, and other Website content.

No transfer or licence of intellectual-property rights takes place merely by allowing access to the Website.

## 12. Competition Data and Third-Party Rights

Some competition information may originate from organisers, shooting federations, clubs, shooting grounds, athletes, teams, competition officials, referees, juries, or other third parties.

Access to such information through the Website does not grant any right to independently collect, scrape, copy, reproduce, distribute, republish, or commercially exploit that information.

Rights of third parties remain unaffected.

## 13. Linking

Ordinary hyperlinks directing users to publicly accessible pages of the Website are generally permitted provided that:

* the Website is not presented misleadingly;
* no non-existent affiliation, partnership, approval, or endorsement is implied;
* Website content is not framed or embedded in a way that obscures its source;
* the link does not bypass security or access controls; and
* the link is not part of an automated system intended primarily to systematically collect Website information.

## 14. Technical Security and Availability

You must not interfere with or attempt to interfere with the operation, availability, integrity, performance, or security of the Website.

Prohibited activities include:

* denial-of-service or distributed denial-of-service attacks;
* excessive automated requests;
* vulnerability scanning without authorisation;
* penetration testing without authorisation;
* introducing malicious software;
* attempting unauthorised access;
* manipulating requests;
* exploiting software vulnerabilities;
* accessing systems outside the publicly intended Website functionality;
* causing excessive server, database, or bandwidth load; or
* otherwise interfering with Website infrastructure.

## 15. Rate Limiting and Blocking

Rangemaster Systems may limit, throttle, challenge, suspend, or block access where we reasonably believe that:

* automated access is occurring;
* scraping is occurring;
* excessive requests are being generated;
* data is being collected systematically;
* these Terms are being violated;
* security is threatened;
* infrastructure stability may be affected; or
* Website information is being collected or reused without authorisation.

Restrictions may be based on IP addresses, IP ranges, autonomous system numbers, network operators, geographic regions, accounts, sessions, browser or device fingerprints, cookies, request patterns, user-agent information, or other appropriate technical criteria.

## 16. Logging and Abuse Detection

For security, availability, abuse prevention, investigation, evidence preservation, and enforcement purposes, Rangemaster Systems may log and analyse technical access information to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Such information may include:

* IP addresses;
* timestamps;
* requested URLs;
* request methods;
* HTTP headers;
* user-agent information;
* referrer information;
* cookies and session information;
* authentication events;
* number and frequency of requests;
* request patterns;
* security events;
* blocked requests;
* access attempts;
* network information; and
* other technical information reasonably necessary to detect, investigate, document, or prevent misuse.

Further information is contained in Part II of this document.

## 17. Suspension and Termination

Rangemaster Systems may suspend, restrict, or terminate access without prior notice where a user, system, organisation, network, device, or automated process violates these Terms, performs unauthorised scraping, attempts to circumvent restrictions, threatens security, interferes with availability, causes excessive load, or otherwise threatens legitimate interests of Rangemaster Systems or users of the Website.

## 18. Enforcement

Unauthorised automated extraction, scraping, copying, harvesting, or reuse may result in:

* immediate blocking of access;
* blocking of IP addresses, ranges, networks, or ASNs;
* suspension or termination of accounts;
* preservation of technical evidence and server logs;
* notification of relevant network operators or hosting providers;
* cease-and-desist demands;
* claims for contractual penalties;
* claims for damages;
* claims for investigation and enforcement costs where legally recoverable;
* injunctive relief;
* court proceedings; and
* any other legal remedies available under applicable law.

## 19. Contractual Penalty for Unauthorised Scraping and Automated Data Extraction

Any person, company, organisation, or other entity that accesses or uses the Website in violation of Sections 3 to 9, including by means of unauthorised scraping, crawling, automated reading, automated downloading, data harvesting, data extraction, or comparable automated collection of information, shall, **to the extent legally permissible, be liable to pay Rangemaster Systems a contractual penalty of EUR 10,000.00 (ten thousand euros) for each separate violation event**.

A **separate violation event** includes in particular:

* each separately initiated scraping, crawling, harvesting, or automated data-extraction operation;
* each new operation started after a previous operation has been stopped, interrupted, rate-limited, challenged, or blocked;
* each renewed automated access following blocking or restriction of an IP address, IP range, account, device, server, session, network, or other access method;
* each scraping operation restarted through a different IP address, proxy, VPN, server, hosting provider, cloud service, or network;
* each independently operated bot, crawler, scraper, script, server, application, or automated collection system;
* each independently configured or separately controlled scraping process;
* each continuation of prohibited automated collection after Rangemaster Systems has expressly requested that it cease; and
* each subsequent repetition of the prohibited activity following such notice.

Multiple HTTP or HTTPS requests forming part of one single continuous automated extraction operation may be treated as one violation event.

Rangemaster Systems reserves the right to treat separately initiated, restarted, repeated, independently operated, or technically separated scraping processes as separate violation events.

The contractual penalty becomes due **irrespective of whether Rangemaster Systems can demonstrate a specific monetary loss**, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Payment does not grant any licence or permission to access, extract, retain, republish, commercially exploit, or continue collecting Website data.

Payment does not prevent Rangemaster Systems from seeking injunctive relief, requiring deletion of unlawfully obtained information, asserting intellectual-property or database rights, pursuing other legal rights, or claiming damages exceeding the contractual penalty where and to the extent permitted by applicable law.

**For the avoidance of doubt: EUR 10,000.00 is payable for each separate unauthorised scraping or automated data-extraction violation event, subject to mandatory applicable law.**

## 20. Authorised Data Access

Any organisation requiring automated access, structured data, data integration, API access, live-result feeds, competition-data feeds, scoreboard feeds, database interfaces, or other machine-readable access must obtain prior express written permission from Rangemaster Systems.

Where available, Rangemaster Systems may provide an authorised API, data feed, or contractual interface.

## 21. Accuracy and Availability

Competition information may be provisional, incomplete, delayed, corrected, modified, withdrawn, or subsequently confirmed.

Rangemaster Systems does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the Website or permanent availability of historical results.

Official results remain subject to confirmation by the relevant organiser, competition jury, federation, or other competent sporting authority.

## 22. Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Rangemaster Systems shall not be liable for losses resulting from interruptions, Website unavailability, delayed or incomplete information, incorrect provisional results, corrections, unauthorised third-party use, reliance on unofficial data, technical failures outside our reasonable control, or acts or omissions of third-party infrastructure providers.

Mandatory statutory liability remains unaffected.

## 23. Changes to these Terms

Rangemaster Systems may amend these Terms where reasonably necessary, including because of changes in Website functionality, infrastructure, security requirements, abuse patterns, legislation, regulatory requirements, sporting requirements, or services.

The current version will be published on the Website.

## 24. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Unless mandatory law provides otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the **Republic of Austria**.

For commercial users, companies, organisations, and legal entities, the competent court at the registered office of the Website operator in Austria shall have exclusive jurisdiction to the extent legally permissible.

Mandatory consumer-protection provisions and mandatory statutory places of jurisdiction remain unaffected.

## 25. Severability

If any provision is invalid, ineffective, or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.

## 26. Contact

Requests concerning authorised automated access, APIs, data feeds, licensing, reproduction, redistribution, commercial use, or permission to reuse Website information must be sent to:

# PART II – PRIVACY & DATA PROCESSING POLICY

## 27. General Information

Rangemaster Systems takes the protection of personal data seriously.

This Privacy & Data Processing Policy explains how personal data may be collected, received, generated, stored, published, transmitted, and otherwise processed in connection with **live.rangemaster.at**.

This Policy is intended to provide information in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), the Austrian Data Protection Act ("DSG"), the Austrian Telecommunications Act 2021 ("TKG 2021"), and other applicable data-protection legislation.

## 28. Data Controller

Where Maxima WarenhandelsGmbH determines the purposes and means of processing, the controller is:

**Maxima WarenhandelsGmbH / Rangemaster Systems**

## 29. Competition Organisers and Controller/Processor Roles

Competition data displayed on the Website may be supplied by shooting grounds, competition organisers, clubs, national or international sporting organisations, scoring systems, authorised operators, or other entities responsible for organising or administering a competition.

Depending on the circumstances, the relevant competition organiser, shooting ground, federation, or other organisation may determine the purposes and means of processing participant data and therefore act as the **data controller** for that competition data.

In such cases, Maxima WarenhandelsGmbH / Rangemaster Systems may process the information on behalf of that organisation as a **data processor**.

Where Rangemaster Systems independently determines the purposes and means of processing, Rangemaster Systems acts as controller.

Requests concerning competition participant data may therefore be referred to the relevant competition organiser or other responsible controller where appropriate.

## 33. Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on one or more of the following legal bases.

### A. Article 6(1)(b) GDPR – Contract

Processing may be necessary to perform a contract or take steps requested before entering into a contract.

This may apply, for example, to services supplied to shooting grounds, organisers, authorised users, or contractual customers.

### B. Article 6(1)(c) GDPR – Legal Obligation

Processing may be necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations.

### C. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR – Legitimate Interests

Processing may be necessary for legitimate interests pursued by Rangemaster Systems, a competition organiser, a shooting ground, sporting organisation, or other relevant party.

These interests may include:

* conducting and documenting sporting competitions;
* publishing and verifying sporting results;
* providing live competition information;
* maintaining accurate historical competition records;
* protecting the integrity of competition results;
* operating reliable Website services;
* maintaining IT and network security;
* detecting and preventing misuse;
* preventing unauthorised scraping;
* protecting databases and intellectual property;
* investigating security incidents;
* preventing fraud;
* enforcing contractual rights; and
* establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims.

Where legitimate interest is relied upon, the interests and fundamental rights and freedoms of affected individuals must be considered.

### D. Article 6(1)(a) GDPR – Consent

Where consent is legally required, processing will be based on consent.

This may include certain optional cookies, analytics systems, external media, social-network functions, or other non-essential third-party technologies.

Consent may be withdrawn in accordance with applicable law.

## 34. Publication of Competition Results

Users should understand that the primary purpose of the Website includes making competition information and results available to the public.

Depending on the competition, publicly displayed information may include:

* participant name;
* nationality;
* BIB;
* class or category;
* team;
* scores;
* progress;
* hits;
* misses/lost targets;
* total;
* ranking;
* qualification status;
* shoot-off information; and
* historical competition results.

Information published on publicly accessible Website pages may be accessible from countries around the world.

The publication of competition data does **not** authorise third parties to scrape, automatically collect, republish, commercially exploit, or create independent databases from such information.

Public accessibility and authorisation for automated extraction are separate matters.

## 35. Historical Competition Results

Competition results may have continuing sporting, documentary, integrity, verification, and historical value after a competition has ended.

Accordingly, final competition results may remain available as historical records where there is a lawful basis for such continued processing.

The fact that a competition has ended does not automatically require immediate deletion of its results.

Requests relating to deletion, restriction, correction, or objection will be assessed in accordance with applicable law and, where relevant, may be forwarded to the responsible competition organiser or other controller.

## 36. Data Relating to Minors

Competitions may include participants under the age of 18.

Where personal data concerning minors is processed, the relevant controller must take account of the additional protection required for children under applicable data-protection law.

Competition organisers providing data to the Website are responsible for ensuring that they have an appropriate legal basis for providing and processing participant information, including information concerning minors where applicable.

The amount of personal information displayed should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for competition and results purposes.

## 37. Special Categories of Personal Data

The Website is not intended to collect or publish special categories of personal data unless such processing is necessary for a legitimate competition purpose and a lawful basis exists under Article 9 GDPR or another applicable provision.

Special categories can include information concerning health, disability, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, biometric identification, or other specially protected information.

Competition organisers should not submit such information unless it is necessary and legally permitted.

## 38. Server Logs and Security Logs

When the Website is accessed, servers and security systems may automatically generate log information.

Logs may contain:

* IP address;
* timestamp;
* requested URL;
* request type;
* browser information;
* user-agent;
* HTTP headers;
* response code;
* session information;
* number and frequency of requests;
* failed access attempts;
* security challenges;
* blocked requests; and
* detected indicators of automated or malicious activity.

Such information may constitute personal data where it can be related to an identifiable natural person.

The principal purposes of logging are Website operation, troubleshooting, security, abuse detection, prevention of unauthorised scraping, and enforcement of legal rights.

The legal basis is generally Article 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interests in providing a secure and reliable service and protecting Rangemaster Systems' systems, data, and legal rights.

## 39. Enhanced Logging in Case of Scraping or Abuse

Where access patterns indicate:

* scraping;
* crawling;
* automated extraction;
* excessive requests;
* attempts to evade blocking;
* attacks;
* unauthorised access;
* manipulation;
* security incidents; or
* other violations of the Terms of Use,

additional technical information may be preserved and analysed to investigate the activity and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

This may include correlation of:

* IP addresses;
* network ranges;
* ASN information;
* timestamps;
* request sequences;
* user agents;
* HTTP headers;
* session identifiers;
* access patterns;
* rate-limit events;
* security-system events; and
* related technical evidence.

Such evidence may be retained for longer than ordinary access logs where reasonably necessary to investigate an incident, pursue a claim, defend against a claim, or comply with legal obligations.

## 40. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies or similar local-storage technologies.

### Strictly necessary technologies

Technologies that are strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user may be used without optional tracking consent where permitted by applicable law.

Examples may include:

* session management;
* security;
* load balancing;
* language preferences;
* authentication;
* fraud prevention; and
* storage of cookie-consent choices.

### Non-essential technologies

Non-essential technologies, including certain analytics, advertising, social-networking, profiling, or third-party services, will only be activated where the required legal conditions are satisfied.

Where consent is required, such technologies must not be activated before valid consent has been obtained.

Users must be able to withdraw consent as easily as it was given.

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before withdrawal.

## 41. Analytics and Third-Party Services

If analytics, social-network, embedded-content, mapping, video, or other third-party services are used, those services may process technical information concerning Website users.

Where such processing requires consent, the service will only be activated after the required consent is obtained.

The specific services enabled on the Website may change over time.

Where required by law, information concerning relevant providers, purposes, storage periods, and transfers will be made available through the Website's cookie or privacy information.

## 42. Recipients of Personal Data

Personal data may be made available to recipients where necessary and lawful, including:

* competition organisers;
* shooting grounds;
* clubs;
* sporting federations;
* authorised competition officials;
* authorised technical operators;
* IT service providers;
* hosting providers;
* security and content-delivery providers;
* database and software service providers;
* professional advisers;
* legal representatives;
* auditors;
* courts;
* public authorities;
* law-enforcement authorities where legally required; and
* network operators or hosting providers where necessary to investigate or stop abuse.

Service providers processing personal data on our behalf are required, where applicable, to process such data under appropriate contractual and data-protection obligations.

## 43. Unauthorised Third-Party Scraping Is Not an Intended Disclosure

Rangemaster Systems does not regard unauthorised scraping, crawling, harvesting, bulk extraction, or automated copying of Website data as an authorised method of receiving personal data.

The fact that information is displayed publicly for normal human viewing does not mean that Rangemaster Systems authorises third parties to create copies, databases, profiles, datasets, commercial services, or automated archives from that information.

Where unauthorised automated collection is detected, Rangemaster Systems may take technical and legal measures described in Part I.

## 44. International Data Transfers

Where personal data is transferred by Rangemaster Systems or its processors to recipients outside the European Economic Area, such transfers will be carried out in accordance with applicable GDPR requirements.

Depending on the circumstances, safeguards may include:

* an adequacy decision of the European Commission;
* Standard Contractual Clauses;
* other appropriate safeguards under Article 46 GDPR; or
* another legally permitted transfer mechanism.

Where no international transfer by Rangemaster Systems occurs, the mere fact that a publicly accessible Website can technically be viewed from another country does not provide that viewer with permission to copy or reuse Website data.

## 45. Data Retention

Personal data is not retained longer than necessary for the relevant purpose, subject to legal obligations, contractual requirements, sporting requirements, legitimate historical interests, security needs, and applicable limitation periods.

### Competition data

Competition data may be retained for as long as required by the relevant organiser or controller and may remain available as a historical competition record where a lawful basis continues to exist.

### Ordinary technical logs

Ordinary Website and server logs are retained only for the period reasonably necessary for operational, diagnostic, security, and administrative purposes.

### Security and abuse records

Information relating to suspected scraping, attacks, unauthorised access, Terms-of-Use violations, or other security incidents may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to investigate the incident, preserve evidence, prevent recurrence, establish or defend legal claims, and comply with applicable limitation periods or legal obligations.

### Communications

Correspondence may be retained for as long as necessary to process the request and, where relevant, for the duration of contractual or statutory record-keeping requirements.

### Consent records

Records demonstrating consent or withdrawal of consent may be retained where necessary to demonstrate compliance with legal obligations.

## 46. Data Security

Appropriate technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal data against:

* unauthorised access;
* unlawful processing;
* accidental loss;
* destruction;
* alteration;
* disclosure; and
* unauthorised extraction.

Depending on the circumstances, measures may include:

* access controls;
* authentication;
* encryption;
* network-security systems;
* firewalls;
* anti-bot protection;
* request-rate controls;
* monitoring;
* logging;
* backup systems;
* software updates;
* restricted administrative access;
* security testing; and
* incident-response procedures.

No Internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

## 47. Automated Decision-Making

The Website may use automated technical systems to identify abnormal traffic, potential security threats, bots, scraping activity, excessive access, or other misuse.

Such systems may automatically rate-limit, challenge, or temporarily block requests.

These technical security decisions are designed to protect the Website and generally do not produce legal effects concerning an individual's personal or professional status.

Where legally relevant automated decision-making within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR occurs, applicable statutory requirements will be observed.

## 48. Rights of Data Subjects

Subject to the conditions and exceptions provided by applicable law, data subjects may have the following rights:

* **Right of access** to personal data;
* **Right to rectification** of inaccurate personal data;
* **Right to erasure** where the legal requirements are met;
* **Right to restriction of processing**;
* **Right to data portability** where applicable;
* **Right to object** to processing based on legitimate interests;
* **Right to withdraw consent** where processing is based on consent; and
* **Right to lodge a complaint** with a competent data-protection supervisory authority.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to statutory conditions and exceptions.

## 49. Objection to Processing Based on Legitimate Interests

Where personal data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, a data subject may object to processing on grounds relating to his or her particular situation.

Processing may continue where compelling legitimate grounds exist which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or where processing is required for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

## 50. Requests Concerning Competition Results

A request to correct, restrict, or delete competition information should clearly identify:

* the participant concerned;
* the competition;
* the date;
* the shooting ground or organiser;
* the information concerned; and
* the requested correction or action.

Where the relevant competition organiser or another entity is the controller, Rangemaster Systems may forward the request to that controller or inform the requester whom to contact.

Corrections to official sporting results may require confirmation from the responsible competition organiser, jury, federation, or other sporting authority.

A data-protection request cannot be used to alter an officially confirmed sporting result where the result itself is factually correct and there is a lawful basis for its continued processing.

## 51. Exercising Data-Protection Rights

Requests concerning personal data may be sent to:

**Maxima WarenhandelsGmbH / Rangemaster Systems**
Dr. Robert Graf Strasse 64/9
A-8010 Graz
Austria

Email: **[info@rangemaster.at](mailto:info@rangemaster.at)**

We may request information reasonably necessary to confirm identity before responding to a request.

## 52. Right to Lodge a Complaint

A data subject who believes that personal data has been processed unlawfully has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

For Austria, the supervisory authority is:

**Austrian Data Protection Authority
Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde**

Data subjects may also have the right to lodge a complaint with another competent supervisory authority under the GDPR.

## 53. Accuracy of Competition Data

Competition data is generally received from competition systems, organisers, shooting grounds, or authorised users.

During an event, results may be preliminary and subject to correction.

Rangemaster Systems may update, correct, replace, or withdraw information where instructed by an authorised competition organiser or where an error is identified.

Official competition records and decisions of the competent sporting authorities take precedence over provisional information shown on the Website.

## 54. Responsibility of Competition Organisers

Competition organisers, shooting grounds, federations, and other entities supplying participant data to Rangemaster Systems are responsible for ensuring, to the extent applicable to them, that:

* personal data has been collected lawfully;
* participants receive required privacy information;
* an appropriate legal basis exists;
* only data necessary for the relevant purposes is supplied;
* information supplied is accurate;
* special-category data is not provided without a lawful basis;
* appropriate rules concerning minors are observed; and
* instructions given to Rangemaster Systems comply with applicable law.

## 55. Disclosure Required by Law

Personal data may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to:

* comply with applicable law;
* comply with a court order;
* comply with an enforceable request from an authority;
* investigate unlawful conduct;
* prevent or investigate security incidents;
* protect persons or property;
* establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or
* enforce the Terms of Use.

## 56. No Sale of Personal Data

Rangemaster Systems does not sell personal data collected through the Website as a standalone commercial commodity.

Authorised contractual data services or interfaces, where offered, remain subject to applicable data-protection requirements and do not authorise unrestricted resale of personal data.

## 57. Changes to this Privacy & Data Processing Policy

This Policy may be updated to reflect:

* legal changes;
* regulatory guidance;
* changes to Website functionality;
* new security requirements;
* changes to processors or service providers;
* new competition services; or
* technical changes.

The current version will be published on the Website together with its effective date.

## 58. Relationship Between the Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy

Part I regulates permitted and prohibited use of the Website.

Part II explains how personal data is processed.

Nothing in this Privacy & Data Processing Policy grants a right to scrape, crawl, download, harvest, copy, republish, or otherwise automatically extract Website information.

In particular, compliance with data-protection legislation does not create permission for third parties to extract data in violation of Part I.
