Privacy Policy for Race Week

Last updated: October 21, 2026

Race Week ("the app", "we", "us") is an independent Formula 1 trivia game made by Alina Lodina ("the developer"). This policy explains what data the app handles and how. We keep it short because the app is built to collect as little as possible.

Race Week has no user accounts, no sign-up, and no login. You can play without giving us your name, email, or any personal profile.

Data stored on your device only

Your quiz progress, statistics, driver-license level, energy, unlocked awards and settings (language, sound, notifications) are stored locally on your device. This data stays on your phone, is not sent to us, and is deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its data.

Quiz content

The app downloads quiz questions from our content server. Like any internet request, this involves your device's IP address and standard technical request data being processed by our hosting provider (Cloudflare) to deliver the content and prevent abuse. We do not use this to identify or profile you.

Stewards' Room answers

The first time you judge a Stewards' Room case, the app sends which case it is and which verdict you chose to our content server, so we can show how many players agreed. We only keep a running count for each verdict: no identifier, no IP address and nothing else about you is stored with it.

Push notifications

If you enable notifications, we store an anonymous push token so we can tell you when a new quiz is added. The token is not linked to your identity, and you can turn notifications off at any time in the app or your device settings.

Analytics

To understand whether people enjoy the game and where they lose interest, the app records a small set of anonymous usage events (for example: the app was opened, a quiz was started, a quiz was finished, in which mode and category). This is handled by PostHog, a product-analytics service, on servers in the European Union.

If you report a problem with a question ("Investigate this lap"), the report contains only which question it is, the reason you picked and the app language. If you choose to write to us by email instead, we receive what you write and your email address, and use them only to reply.

These events are not linked to your identity: we do not collect your name or email (the app has no accounts), we do not track you across other apps or websites, and we never sell your data. PostHog assigns a random anonymous identifier so repeat sessions can be counted; it cannot be used to identify you personally. If you would like your analytics data deleted, contact us at the address below.

Advertising

The Stewards' Room game mode shows a full-screen ad between some cases. Ads are provided by Google AdMob. We ask Google for non-personalised ads only: the ads you see are not based on your past activity in other apps or websites, and the app does not ask for permission to track you on iPhone.

To show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, Google's ads software may process your IP address (to estimate an approximate location, such as the country), a device identifier (for example the Android advertising ID or an app-specific identifier), information about the ads shown and your interactions with them, and technical diagnostics. This data goes to Google, not to us. Learn how Google uses it: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

If you are in the EU/EEA, the UK or Switzerland, the app shows Google's consent message before any ad, and you can change your choice at any time under Ad privacy settings on the profile screen. On Android you can also reset or delete your advertising ID in the device settings.

In-app purchases

"Support the author" tips are optional and unlock nothing. On iPhone they are paid through the App Store: Apple handles the payment, and we never see your card or payment details, only that a purchase was completed. On Android the "Buy me a coffee" button opens the external Buy Me a Coffee website, which handles the payment under its own privacy policy.

Children

Race Week is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Your rights

Because most data lives only on your device, you are in control: uninstalling the app or clearing its data removes it. If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, you have rights under the GDPR, including access, correction and erasure, and you can withdraw your consent for ads at any time (see "Advertising" above). To exercise them, contact us at the address below.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves (for example when a new feature is added). We will change the "Last updated" date above when we do.
