KartPace Timer™

Privacy Policy.

Effective date: July 15, 2026
Last updated: October 27, 2026

KartPace ("we," "us," or "our") is operated by the business identified in Who is responsible for personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with the KartPace Timer mobile application, the KartPace website and product pages, and support communications (together, the "Services").

1. Privacy at a glance

KartPace Timer is designed to work offline and without an account.

• The current production design does not require an account, cloud synchronization, GPS, advertising, cross-app tracking, telemetry import, or a network connection for live timing.
• Driver names, kart numbers, track names, timing events, lap results, notes, presets, settings, and saved reports are stored locally in the App's private storage on your device unless you choose to export them.
• We do not receive or have access to your locally stored timing data merely because you use the App.
• If you join the launch waitlist on our website, we receive the email address and phone platform you enter and use them only to tell you when KartPace Timer is available. See Launch waitlist.
• We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use it for targeted advertising.
• Apple or Google processes store downloads and in-app purchases under its own terms and privacy practices. We do not receive your full payment-card information.

This summary does not replace the rest of this Policy.

2. Who is responsible for personal data

For personal data that we receive through the website, support communications, legal requests, or our business records, the controller or business is:

3. Information handled by the App on your device

The App may let you enter or create:

• driver names or nicknames;
• kart numbers and spotting notes;
• track names and session types;
• timing events, lap times, exclusions, predictions, corrections, pit events, and session statistics;
• saved reports and driver lineups or presets;
• App settings, accessibility preferences, tutorial progress, free-usage counters, and Pro-entitlement state; and
• draft or unfinished sessions used for crash recovery.

This information is processed locally on your device to provide timing, recovery, reports, exports, presets, and related App features. Under the current production architecture, it is not transmitted to KartPace servers.

Device backups

Your operating-system backup settings may include App data in device or cloud backups. Those backups are controlled by you and the platform provider, not by KartPace. Review your backup settings if you do not want App data included in a backup.

Development-only diagnostics

Internal development builds may contain local diagnostic tools used for testing timing latency, save reliability, recovery, interruptions, corrections, prediction performance, and eligible battery metrics. Those tools are designed to be absent from production builds and not to include driver names, kart numbers, notes, or raw timestamps. These are internal testing tools, not features intended for the released app.

4. Information we may receive

Launch waitlist

KartPace Timer has not been released. If you join the launch waitlist on our website, we receive the email address you enter, the phone platform you select, which page you submitted from (including whether you arrived by scanning our QR code), and the date and time of the submission. Providing this information is optional and is not required to use any part of the Services.

We use your waitlist email to tell you when KartPace Timer launches for your selected phone platform. If you choose Android, we may also email you once to invite you to test the Android app. We do not use it for advertising or add you to a newsletter. We do not sell your email or share it for other companies' marketing. Service providers may process it for us as described in section 8. The launch email includes a way to unsubscribe.

We keep waitlist entries until you ask us to remove yours, or until twelve months after launch, whichever comes first, after which we delete them. To be removed at any time, email contact@kartpace.com from the address you signed up with, or use the unsubscribe link in any message. For users in the EEA and the United Kingdom, our legal basis is your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

Support and communications

If you contact us, we may receive your name, email address, message, attachments, device and operating-system details you choose to provide, purchase or transaction information you choose to send, and any other information included in your communication. Please do not send passwords, full payment-card numbers, health information, or unnecessary information about children.

Website and security logs

Website hosting, content-delivery, domain, and security providers may automatically process limited technical information such as IP address, browser or device type, requested page, referring page, date and time, and security or error information. We use this information to deliver, secure, troubleshoot, and maintain the website.

Store purchases and platform information

The platform store processes downloads, purchases, taxes, billing, refunds, and transactions. We may receive purchase status, product identifiers, transaction identifiers, storefront or country information, sales reports, and aggregated store performance information. We do not receive your full payment-card number.

If you choose in your device settings to share analytics with app developers, the platform provider may make certain crash or diagnostic reports available to us. Those reports are governed in part by your settings and the provider's privacy practices.

Privacy and legal requests

If you submit a privacy request, complaint, or legal inquiry, we may receive contact information, information needed to verify the request, correspondence, and records of our response.

5. Information we do not intentionally collect through the current App

The current production design does not intentionally collect or transmit to us:

• precise or approximate location;
• contacts or address-book data;
• photos, videos, camera data, microphone recordings, or biometric data;
• health, fitness, motion, or medical data;
• advertising identifiers;
• browsing history across other apps or websites;
• cloud-stored driver or timing profiles;
• passwords or account credentials; or
• payment-card or bank-account details.

We do not use third-party advertising SDKs or tracking technologies in the current production design. KartPace Timer has not been released yet; this policy describes the app we are preparing for launch on iPhone and Android.

6. How we use information we receive

We may use information we receive to:

• provide support and respond to questions;
• process or verify purchase and entitlement issues;
• operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website and Services;
• investigate abuse, fraud, security incidents, or legal claims;
• comply with law, tax, accounting, court, or regulatory obligations;
• enforce our Terms of Use; and
• protect users, KartPace, platform providers, track operators, and others.

We do not use support communications or website logs for targeted advertising.

7. Legal bases for users in the EEA, United Kingdom, and similar jurisdictions

Where applicable, we rely on:

• Contract: to provide requested support, deliver purchased features, and administer the Services;
• Legitimate interests: to secure and maintain the Services, prevent abuse, answer ordinary inquiries, and improve reliability, balanced against your rights;
• Legal obligation: to comply with tax, accounting, consumer-protection, privacy, law-enforcement, or court requirements; and
• Consent: when we specifically ask for it, including before any future non-essential analytics, marketing communications, or non-essential device storage where consent is required.

You may withdraw consent at any time for future processing. Withdrawal does not affect processing already lawfully completed.

8. When information may be disclosed

We may disclose personal data only as reasonably necessary to:

• Service providers: website hosting, content delivery, security, business email, customer support, legal, accounting, or similar providers acting for us; Google Analytics receives optional website analytics when you consent, as described below;
• Platform providers: in connection with distribution, purchases, refunds, fraud prevention, diagnostics, and platform requirements;
• Authorities and legal recipients: when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, and security;
• Business transactions: in a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale, subject to appropriate safeguards; or
• At your direction: for example, when you export a report through the device share sheet.

We do not sell personal data or share it with data brokers or advertising networks. We require service providers to protect personal data consistently with their role and applicable law.

9. Exports and third-party destinations

KartPace Timer Pro may allow you to export text or CSV reports through the device share sheet. You choose the destination. Once information is sent to another app, person, cloud service, messaging service, email provider, or storage provider, that recipient's privacy and security practices apply. Review the export before sharing, especially when it contains a minor's name or performance information.

10. Cookies and similar technologies

The KartPace website uses optional Google Analytics cookies only if you choose "Allow analytics." Choosing "No thanks" keeps analytics off and does not limit the tools. We do not use advertising cookies. Necessary browser storage supports features you request and remembers your cookie choice.

Browser storage we currently use

If you join the launch waitlist, the website saves a small record in your browser's local storage noting that you signed up and the address you used. Its only purpose is to show you a confirmation instead of asking you again on a later visit. It stays on your device, is not a cookie, is not sent to us on subsequent visits, and is not used to identify or track you across sites. Clearing your browser's site data for kartpace.com removes it, after which the form simply appears again.

When you calculate a chain length, the chain calculator saves your last five setups in your browser's local storage: chain type, sprocket tooth counts, shaft spacing, and preferred measurement unit. It restores your most recent setup when you return. These measurements stay on your device and are not sent to us. Clearing your browser's site data for kartpace.com removes the saved setups. If storage is unavailable, recent setups last only for the current visit.

Optional website analytics

If you opt in, Google Analytics helps us understand page visits, completed waitlist signups, and use of the chain calculator. Google processes cookie identifiers, page and event data, referring website, browser and device information, and approximate location derived from your connection. We do not send your email address, form entries, driver details, or calculator measurements. We remove URL query strings and fragments from the page addresses we send. We do not enable Google signals or advertising personalization.

Analytics does not load or send data to Google before you agree. Our legal basis for this optional processing is your consent. The first-party _ga and _ga_* cookies expire after 60 days. We remember your choice in browser storage for 180 days. You can change it at any time using "Cookie settings" in the footer. Choosing "No thanks" stops future analytics collection and removes these analytics cookies; it does not undo processing that already occurred.

User-level and event-level analytics retention is set to two months, without resetting that period on new activity. Aggregated standard reports may remain available for longer.

Google may process analytics information on servers outside your country, including in the United States, subject to applicable transfer safeguards. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google's Privacy Policy. This website choice does not enable analytics in the KartPace Timer app.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Because we do not currently track users across third-party services or sell or share personal information for behavioral advertising, browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals do not change the current operation of the Services. If our practices change in a way that triggers a legal opt-out obligation, we will honor applicable legally recognized signals and update this Policy.

11. Data retention

• App-local data: until you delete it using available App controls, reset the App, or uninstall the App, subject to device backups controlled by you and the platform provider;
• Launch waitlist entries: until you ask to be removed, or twelve months after KartPace Timer launches, whichever comes first;
• Support communications: normally for up to 24 months after the request is resolved, unless longer retention is reasonably needed;
• Website security logs: normally for up to 30 days, unless longer retention is needed to investigate abuse, security incidents, or legal requirements;
• Privacy-request records: normally for at least 24 months or as required by applicable law; and
• Tax, accounting, transaction, and legal records: for the period required by law, commonly up to seven years.

We may retain de-identified or aggregated information that can no longer reasonably identify an individual.

12. Deleting App data

Because the current App stores timing content locally and does not use an account or KartPace cloud, we cannot remotely view or delete that local content for you.

1. Delete individual reports, sessions, lineups, or presets using in-App controls.
2. Use Settings > Delete All App Data to remove App-local data.
3. Uninstall the App to remove its local container from the device.

A device or cloud backup may retain an older copy until you delete or overwrite that backup through your device settings. KartPace cannot remotely access or erase data that exists only on your device.

13. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the limited information we receive. The App's local data is stored in the operating-system app sandbox and benefits from device and operating-system protections. Website and support providers should use encrypted transmission, access controls, logging, and appropriate contractual safeguards.

No storage or transmission method is completely secure. Keep your device locked and updated, protect exported files, and avoid entering unnecessary sensitive information.

14. International transfers

We are based in the United States. Information sent to us through support, the website, platform reports, or legal requests may be processed in the United States and other countries where our providers operate. Where required, we rely on recognized transfer mechanisms, contractual safeguards, adequacy decisions, or applicable exceptions.

Before actively targeting users in the EEA or United Kingdom, we will confirm whether an EU or UK privacy representative is legally required or whether an exception applies.

15. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

• access or know the personal data we hold about you;
• correct inaccurate personal data;
• delete personal data;
• receive a portable copy of certain personal data;
• restrict or object to certain processing;
• withdraw consent;
• opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling;
• appeal a refusal of a request where applicable; and
• complain to a privacy or data-protection authority.

To submit a request, email contact@kartpace.com with the subject Privacy Request - KartPace Timer. Describe the request and the jurisdiction in which you live. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity and authority. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a legal privacy right.

These rights apply to information we control. Because we do not receive App-local timing data, requests sent to us cannot retrieve or erase data that exists only on your device.

California notice

We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Even where the CCPA does not legally apply, we will make reasonable efforts to honor verified access, correction, and deletion requests for information we control.

For California online-privacy purposes, the categories we may collect through the website or support are identifiers and contact information, internet or network activity, customer-support content, purchase-support information, and inferences strictly necessary to resolve a request. The recipient categories are described in Section 8. We do not permit third parties to collect personal information through the Services for cross-site behavioral advertising.

EEA and UK complaints

Individuals in the EEA or United Kingdom may lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority where they live, work, or believe an infringement occurred. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue.

16. Children and information about minor drivers

KartPace Timer is designed for parents, coaches, mechanics, and other trackside users. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13.

Karting drivers may be minors. An adult user may choose to enter a minor driver's name or nickname locally on the user's own device. We recommend using initials or a nickname, avoiding sensitive notes, and reviewing exports before sharing. The local entry does not cause KartPace to receive the information.

A person under the age of legal majority should use the Services only with permission and supervision from a parent or legal guardian. If you believe a child sent personal information to us through support, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

17. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in the App, website, providers, law, or business practices. We will post the updated version with a new "Last updated" date. If a change materially affects how we handle information, we will provide additional notice when reasonably appropriate, such as an in-App notice or website banner.

No policy update will retroactively authorize materially different processing where applicable law requires new notice or consent.
