Race Control home

Privacy Policy

Effective: September 6, 2026

Who we are

Race Control (also distributed as Race Widgets) is an independent fan-made application. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Formula 1, the FIA, any team, driver, or championship rights holder. Product and company names, marks, images, and other media belong to their respective owners.

Data the app handles

  • Preferences such as favorite drivers, favorite team, spoiler controls, reminders, appearance, and widget settings are stored on your device and, where required for widgets, in the app's private Apple app-group container.
  • Session reminders are scheduled on your device using Apple notification services. Calendar access is used only when you choose a calendar action and grant the relevant permission.
  • If you enable remote race, favorite-driver, or weather alerts and allow notifications, the app sends an Apple push-notification token, installation identifier, app version and build, language and region, time zone, and your alert, spoiler, and favorite-driver or team preferences to Race Control's Cloudflare service to register for delivery. Apple processes the notification token and message when a remote notification is delivered. Turning off all remote alerts in the app requests removal of the registration. Registration requests can reach our service even when remote delivery is not yet available.
  • Race schedules, results, timing, radio metadata, images, and related motorsport information are requested from Race Control's Cloudflare gateway and selected third-party data or media providers. Those services normally receive technical request data such as IP address, user agent, and request time.

Purchases and attribution

  • Apple processes App Store payments. RevenueCat receives a pseudonymous app-user identifier, app/device information, product and entitlement status, and purchase/receipt information so subscriptions, restores, trials, and offers work.
  • Apple Ads attribution uses Apple's AdServices token collection through RevenueCat and, when configured, AppsFlyer to measure which Apple Ads campaign led to an install or subscription. Apple provides limited attribution information even when you do not allow tracking.
  • When configured, AppsFlyer measures installs, app sessions and product-funnel events such as onboarding, paywall views, checkout starts, reminders, shares, viewed driver, team or race content, comparison and radio use, and chosen settings. It receives an install identifier, app/device information, IP address and event information. An IP address can indicate an approximate location. We associate the AppsFlyer install identifier with RevenueCat's app-user identifier to measure subscriptions resulting from installs. These identifiers do not contain your name, but can link activity to an installation or subscription record.
  • RevenueCat is our source of confirmed subscription lifecycle and revenue information. Our configured measurement services, including AppsFlyer, receive this information to measure campaign performance and subscription revenue. With your tracking permission, it may also be shared with configured advertising partners, such as Meta or TikTok.

App tracking and your choice

Before enabling tracking, the app requests permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, when the system allows it. If you allow tracking, AppsFlyer may collect Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA) and vendor identifier (IDFV), and share attribution and product events with configured advertising partners such as Meta or TikTok to measure and improve our campaigns. RevenueCat may also receive device identifiers and Meta's identifier for the installation for advertising measurement. When AppsFlyer is not configured, the Meta SDK may send install and product events after you allow tracking.

If you decline or cannot grant tracking permission, we disable AppsFlyer's advertising and vendor identifier collection and its sharing of app events with advertising partners. AppsFlyer may still process its install identifier, technical information and events for limited analytics. Subscription processing and Apple's privacy-preserving ad attribution can continue. The app's features, purchases and restores remain available regardless of your choice.

You can change tracking permission in iOS Settings under Privacy & Security > Tracking. The app applies your current choice when it becomes active again. Changing this setting limits future tracking; it does not automatically delete information previously collected.

Website and waitlist

Vercel hosts this website and processes technical request information such as IP address, browser information and request time to deliver and operate it.

If you choose Allow in the launch funnel, the website may use Meta and TikTok browser pixels and matching server-side conversion events while a campaign is active. Your choice is stored in your browser, and the funnel remains usable if you decline. These tools can process page URLs, ad click identifiers, browser cookies, IP address, user agent, event identifiers, and actions taken in the launch funnel. Depending on where you live, this use may be considered targeted advertising or sharing under local privacy law. You can change the choice by clearing the site's browser storage and can also use browser controls, content blockers, and the privacy controls offered by those platforms.

If you voluntarily join a waitlist or email list, we send the email address and first name you provide to Kit (formerly ConvertKit) to deliver the updates you request.

Service providers

Current service providers can include Apple, RevenueCat, AppsFlyer, Meta, TikTok, Cloudflare, Vercel, Kit, and the motorsport data or media sources identified in the app's Data Status screen. Each provider processes information under its own privacy terms and our configuration of that service.

Retention and your choices

Local preferences remain until you reset or delete the app. Purchase records are retained as required to operate subscriptions, prevent fraud, and satisfy legal obligations. Advertising and email providers apply their own retention periods. You can disable notifications in iOS Settings, remove calendar entries, unsubscribe from marketing email, clear browser data, or contact us to request access or deletion of information we control. Some purchase records must remain with Apple or RevenueCat.

Children and changes

Race Control is not directed to children under 13. We may update this policy when the product, providers, or legal requirements change; the effective date above will show the latest revision.
