Personal Information Provided by You. The personal information we collect may include:

• Email addresses
• IP address
• Vehicle data via OBD-II (engine RPM, vehicle speed, throttle position, intake air temperature, manifold pressure)
• Payment info (handled by Stripe; we do not store it ourselves)
• Display name (optional, if provided): used to personalize your dashboard greeting

Sensitive Information. We do not process sensitive information.

Payment Data. We may collect data necessary to process your payment if you make purchases, such as your payment instrument number and the security code associated with your payment instrument. All payment data is handled and stored by Stripe. You may find their privacy notice at https://stripe.com/privacy.

Information automatically collected

In Short: Some information, such as your IP address and device characteristics, is collected automatically when you visit our Services.

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Services, and other technical information.

Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies.

The information we collect includes:

• Log and Usage Data. Service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use our Services.
• Device Data. Information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other device used to access the Services.
• Location Data. Approximate location derived from your IP address. This is imprecise (typically city-level or coarser) and is used for atmospheric correction (ambient temperature, barometric pressure) in horsepower calculations. We do not collect precise GPS or device-based location.
• Vehicle telemetry data. Data collected from the user's vehicle via an OBD-II adapter, including engine RPM, vehicle speed, throttle position, intake air temperature, manifold pressure, and other powertrain parameters used to calculate horsepower and torque. VIN is never collected, stored, or transmitted to our servers.
• Aggregate visit counts (GoatCounter). We use GoatCounter, a privacy-first analytics service, to count visits to each page. GoatCounter does not set cookies, does not fingerprint visitors, and does not track users across sites. It records anonymous, aggregate counts (page views and referrer category) so we can understand which pages users find useful. We do not sell or share this data.

2. How do we process your information?

In Short: We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law.

• To protect our Services. To keep our Services safe and secure, including fraud monitoring and prevention.
• To save or protect an individual's vital interest. Where necessary to prevent harm.
• To improve product accuracy and reliability. To diagnose calculation errors, identify edge cases in the RLS mass estimator, and ensure horsepower/torque outputs remain accurate across different vehicles and conditions, we may review anonymized vehicle telemetry to debug issues users report.

3. What legal bases do we rely on to process your information?

In Short: We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason to do so under applicable law.

If you are located in the EU or UK

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on to process your personal information:

• Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
• Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services.
• Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do not outweigh your rights and freedoms, for example to diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities.
• Legal Obligations. Where necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as cooperating with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, or exercising or defending our legal rights.
• Vital Interests. Where necessary to protect your vital interests or those of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to safety.

If you are located in Canada

We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.

In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted to process your information without consent, including: where collection is clearly in your interests and consent cannot be obtained in time; for investigations, fraud detection, and prevention; for business transactions; for witness statements relevant to insurance claims; to identify injured or deceased persons; where there are reasonable grounds to believe financial abuse may be occurring; where disclosure is required by subpoena, warrant, or court order; where the information is publicly available and specified by regulations.

4. When and with whom do we share your personal information?

In Short: We may share information in specific situations described below and with the third parties listed.

Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third parties designed to safeguard your personal information. They cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to, and they commit to protect and retain the data only for the period we instruct.

The third parties we may share personal information with are:

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us to keep your personal information for longer than the period of time in which you have an account with us.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because it has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

7. How do we keep your information safe?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards, no electronic transmission or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk.

8. Do we collect information from minors?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to that minor's use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under 18, please contact us at [email protected].
