NxtStride Finland Oy — Title.Stream & Sports-Veritas.com

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 May 2026

Who we are

NxtStride Finland Oy (Business ID: 3456649-1) is the data controller for personal data processed through Title.Stream and Sports-Veritas.com. We are a Finnish company building digital recognition infrastructure for sports within the IOC-recognised family.

Our registered address is Töölönkatu 11-15 A 117 a, 00100 Helsinki, Finland. For all data protection enquiries, contact us at [email protected].

Our supervisory authority is the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman (Tietosuojavaltuutetun toimisto), PO Box 800, 00531 Helsinki, Finland (tietosuoja.fi).

What our platforms do and why it matters

Title.Stream and Sports-Veritas.com exist to make athletic achievement in practitioner sports visible, discoverable, and permanent. In many sports within the IOC-recognised family, athletes can win world championships and remain invisible in practical digital terms. Results are published as administrative records that are not indexed, not linked, and not persistent. Our platforms close that gap.

This mission shapes how we handle personal data. The personal data we process — primarily the names and competition results of athletes — is already in the public domain by virtue of the relevant federation's own publication of event results. We structure, index, and maintain this data so that it becomes findable, linkable, and durable.

We do not operate an advertising platform. We do not serve targeted advertising. We do not profile users for commercial purposes. We do not sell personal data.

What personal data we process

Achievement data

This is the core of what we do. Achievement data includes athlete names as they appear in official competition results, competition placements and times, event names, dates, locations, and disciplines, sport and federation affiliations, and, where publicly available, athlete nationality and age category.

This data is derived from competition results that the relevant international federation has already published. We do not collect achievement data directly from athletes.

Federation and contributor data

Where federation staff, continental confederation representatives, or editorial contributors access the platforms in an operational capacity, we process their name, email address, organisational role and federation affiliation, and platform activity logs.

Website visitor data

When you visit our platforms, we may process your IP address (anonymised for analytics), browser type and device information, pages visited and time spent, and referring URL. We do not use this data to identify individual visitors. We do not use third-party advertising trackers.

We process personal data under the following legal bases within Article 6(1) of the GDPR.

Public interest — Article 6(1)(e)

The processing of achievement data is carried out in the public interest. Our platforms fulfil a function that neither the federations nor mainstream media currently provide at scale: the structured, indexed, permanent publication of competition results in sports where no alternative exists. This legal basis applies to the processing of athlete names and competition results that are already in the public domain through federation publication.

Legitimate interest — Article 6(1)(f)

We rely on legitimate interest for website visitor data for platform analytics and security, federation and contributor data for platform operation and quality assurance, and the distribution of achievement data through search indexing, data licensing, and API access. Our legitimate interest assessment considers that data subjects are athletes in organised, sanctioned competition with a reasonable expectation that results will be published, and that processing directly serves their interests by making achievements discoverable.

Contract performance — Article 6(1)(b)

We rely on contract performance for the processing of federation staff data where necessary to deliver services under a Federation Services Agreement.

Consent — Article 6(1)(a)

We rely on consent only where specifically required, such as for optional newsletter subscriptions. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected].

How we use achievement data

Achievement data is used to publish structured, search-engine-indexed achievement announcements on Title.Stream; to develop editorial content on Sports-Veritas.com; to maintain a persistent, discoverable record of competition results; and to make structured achievement data available to third parties through data licensing, search indexing, or API access. We do not sell individual athlete profiles or provide achievement data for purposes unrelated to sports recognition, statistical analysis, or historical record.

Data retention

Achievement data

Achievement data is retained indefinitely. This is not an oversight; it is the purpose of the platforms. The entire value of structured achievement records lies in their permanence. This indefinite retention is consistent with the public interest basis under which the data is processed.

Federation and contributor data

Federation staff and contributor data is retained for the duration of the relevant Federation Services Agreement and for twelve (12) months after its expiry or termination, after which it is deleted unless retention is required by law.

Website visitor data

Anonymised analytics data is retained for twenty-four (24) months. Server logs containing IP addresses are retained for ninety (90) days for security purposes and then deleted.

Data sharing

Achievement data is shared with search engines through standard indexing, with data licensees under agreements consistent with the recognition mission, and with the public as published content. Federation and contributor data may be shared with infrastructure providers acting as data processors under GDPR-compliant agreements. We do not sell personal data to third parties. We do not share personal data with advertisers or data brokers.

International transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or other mechanisms permitted under Chapter V of the GDPR. Achievement data published on the platforms is publicly accessible worldwide, which is inherent to the platform's purpose.

Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, regular security reviews, and incident response procedures. In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman within 72 hours.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data.

Right of access. You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Right to rectification. You may request correction of inaccurate personal data. For achievement data, correction requests are referred to the relevant federation.

Right to erasure. You may request deletion of your personal data. For achievement data processed in the public interest under Article 6(1)(e), we may decline erasure requests where processing remains necessary for the public interest purpose. We assess each request individually.

Right to restriction. You may request that we restrict processing while a complaint or rectification request is being resolved.

Right to object. You may object to processing based on public interest or legitimate interest. We will assess whether our compelling legitimate grounds override your interests.

Right to data portability. Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

Right to lodge a complaint. You may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi) or with the supervisory authority in your country of residence.

To exercise any of these rights, contact [email protected]. We will respond within one month.

Cookies and tracking

We use only essential and analytics cookies. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Essential cookies are necessary for the platforms to function. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the platforms; analytics data is anonymised and not linked to individual users. You can disable analytics cookies through your browser settings. We do not participate in cross-site tracking.

Children

Our platforms are not directed at children under the age of 16. Where competition results include athletes under 16, this data is processed under the same public interest basis as all achievement data and is limited to the information published by the relevant federation.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Where changes affect the legal basis or purposes of processing, we will provide prominent notice.
