What the apps store

Your preferences — voice, speed, verbosity, vibration settings, the driver you follow, colour theme — are stored on your own device (the browser's local storage, or the watch's app storage). They never leave it, except as below.

If you pair the watch with the browser, those shared preferences are held on our server under a random six-character code so both devices can read them. The code identifies a pairing, not a person: no name, no email, no account. Unpairing, or a year of disuse, deletes them.

If you use “Stand where I am”, your device sends one set of coordinates to our server, which answers with a position along the circuit and forgets the request. Location is never stored, and the feature only runs when you press the button.

Server logs and errors

Our servers keep ordinary technical logs (IP address, request path, time) for a short period to keep the service running, and the website reports errors — the error message and the last few caption lines on screen — to help fix crashes. Nothing in either is used to identify or profile you.

Third parties

The website is hosted on Vercel and the data service on Fly.io; both see the traffic any host sees. Race data comes from OpenF1 and Jolpica/Ergast; your requests to us are not forwarded to them with anything identifying you. There are no third-party trackers, no ad networks, and no sale or sharing of data.
