Terms of Use

Parties and Scope

DropYourTime is a service provided by Finatech Bilişim ve Danışmanlık Hizmetleri Ltd. Şti. (“Finatech”).

These Terms of Use govern the use of the DropYourTime website, its mobile apps and the services linked to them.

You are expected to follow these terms when you use DropYourTime. You are asked to accept them when you create an account or use features that need an account.

Nature of the Service

DropYourTime is an independent platform that provides swimming meet calendars, announcements, results, rankings and athletes' time histories.

Race information is compiled from documents published by the bodies and organisations that hold the meets. DropYourTime is not the official service of any meet organiser and does not act on their behalf.

The rankings shown on the platform are based on the data available in DropYourTime, so they should not be taken as official rankings or record lists. For official results, the current documents published by the organiser of the meet prevail.

For details of the data sources and coverage, see the Data Coverage and Sources page.

Accuracy of Data and Corrections

We take care to transfer race results in line with the source documents. Errors and omissions may, however, occur in the source documents or while the data is processed. We also do not guarantee that every meet or result will be on the platform or that the data will always be up to date.

If you think a piece of information is wrong, you can use the Report a Correction form or write to support@dropyourtime.com.

We review reports against the source documents and the information provided. We make the corrections found necessary and, where needed, refer to the current documents published by the bodies concerned.

Your legal rights to have personal data corrected or deleted are reserved.

Free Access Principle

DropYourTime's core principle is to give free access to the results and times of swimming meets.

We do not charge for the core race results, rankings and athletes' time histories on the platform. You may need to create a free user account and sign in to see some information.

Additional services such as advanced performance analysis, personalised reports or AI-assisted features may be offered for a fee in the future. The scope and price of these services will be stated clearly in advance. No paid service starts without your explicit consent.

The free access principle does not mean that the platform's data may be downloaded without limit or in bulk by automated means.

User Accounts and Athlete Profiles

An account needs a valid email address, which you may be asked to verify. Your account is personal; you are responsible for keeping your sign-in details safe and for taking due care with what is done through your account.

You may ask to link an athlete profile to your account only for your own profile or for the profile of an athlete you are the parent or legal representative of. You may not make an unauthorised or false request on someone else's behalf.

We may refuse requests, and depending on the nature of the breach restrict access to, suspend or close accounts, because of actions that threaten security, contain misleading information or breach these terms.

You can close your account at any time from the "Close My Account" section of the My Profile page. Closure takes effect immediately and cannot be undone. The personal information linked to your account is deleted: your name, email address, phone number, country and province, favourites, notification preferences, linked athlete records and invite code. Meet results and athlete records are not deleted, because they are based on source documents. Correction reports you have sent are kept to meet our legal obligations and to protect against legal claims. If you have trouble closing your account, contact us at support@dropyourtime.com. Your other requests about your personal data are handled under the applicable law.

Acceptable Use

When you use DropYourTime you must respect the rights of other users, the security of the platform and the applicable law.

The following are not allowed:

• Collecting, copying or republishing the platform's data in bulk with automated tools without permission.
• Sending requests at a rate that harms the service, or trying to get around its security measures.
• Trying to reach other users' accounts or information that needs authorised access.
• Using athletes' information to harass, discriminate against or single out anyone, or in breach of their personal rights.
• Giving false information in forms, acting on someone else's behalf without authority, or misleading other users.

These limits do not remove the right to information or other legal rights that arise from the applicable law.

Intellectual Property and Use of Content

The rights in the DropYourTime name, logo, software, design and the platform's own content belong to Finatech or the respective right holders.

Third-party rights in the documents published by meet organisers and in the information they contain are reserved. DropYourTime does not claim the intellectual property rights in every piece of information in the source documents.

You may view the information on the platform for personal, non-commercial purposes and quote it to the extent the applicable law allows. When quoting, we ask you to credit DropYourTime and, where possible, the original data source.

Reusing the platform's own content for commercial purposes, or taking data from the platform in bulk by automated means, needs prior written permission, without prejudice to the rights arising from the law.

Protection of Personal Data

How, for what purposes and on what legal grounds personal data is processed within DropYourTime is explained on the Privacy page.

Accepting the Terms of Use does not replace separate explicit consent to the processing of personal data. Where processing needs explicit consent, your consent is asked for separately.

You can send requests to access, correct or delete data about yourself or a person you are the legal representative of to support@dropyourtime.com. Your requests are handled under the applicable law.

Provision of the Service and Liability

We take care to keep DropYourTime accurate, reliable and available. We cannot, however, guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free or always available.

The whole service or some of its features may be interrupted for a time because of maintenance, security, infrastructure problems or reasons beyond our control.

The information on the platform is for information only. Where an official race result or a particular time must be relied on, the records of the meet organiser concerned prevail.

Content and services reached through third-party links are subject to the providers' own terms.

Our liability may be limited to the extent the applicable law allows. These terms do not, however, remove liabilities that by law cannot be limited or excluded, or users' rights arising from mandatory law.

Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms of Use because of developments in the service, changes in the law or operational needs.

The current text and the date of its last update are published on this page. Changes that significantly affect users' rights and obligations are announced by appropriate means. Where the law requires it, your consent to the changes is asked for again.

Changes do not remove your existing rights that the law protects.

Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are interpreted and applied under the law of the Republic of Türkiye, without prejudice to mandatory rules of law.

Consumers in Türkiye may apply to the competent consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts under the conditions set out in the relevant law. For other disputes, the competent authorities are determined under the relevant law.

Users outside Türkiye keep the rights arising from the consumer protection rules that must be applied in their country.
