Privacy policy
Last updated:
This policy explains how the IPL – Interactive Pitlane app (Android and iOS) and the interactive-pitlane.com website handle your personal data. In short: the app works without an account, we only collect what your account and games need, there is no advertising, no analytics and no sale of data, and you can delete your account from the app at any time. The French version prevails in case of discrepancy.
1. Data controller
BeebopCity SRL, 8 avenue Abbé Maurice Hanne, 1450 Chastre, Belgium — info@beebopcity.com (“we”).
2. Using IPL without an account
Mini-games, the calendar, results and championship standings work without an account. In guest mode your records, settings and progress stay on your device only; we do not receive them. As with any online service, our servers see the IP address of requests (see section 3).
3. Data we process
| Data | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address, nickname, password (stored only as a hash, never in plain text) | Creating an account with email | Identify you and secure your account |
| Account identifier provided by Google, Apple or Facebook, and your email address if the provider confirms it | Signing in with Google, Sign in with Apple or Facebook | Sign you in without a password. We never receive your Google, Apple or Facebook password. |
| Apple technical token | Sign in with Apple | Only to revoke IPL's access to your Apple ID when you delete your account |
| Scores and runs, predictions, private leagues (name, members), badges, XP, streaks, missions | When you play signed in | Run the games, predictions, leagues and leaderboards |
| Notification token, platform (Android/iOS), language | Only if you allow notifications | Send prediction reminders and results; deleted when you turn notifications off |
| IP address, date, request, device type | Every call to our servers | Security, abuse and cheating prevention, troubleshooting |
We do not collect your location, contacts, photos or address book. The app contains no advertising or analytics tools and does not track you across other apps or websites.
4. Legal bases (GDPR)
- Performance of a contract (our terms of use): account, games, predictions, leagues, leaderboards.
- Consent: push notifications. You can withdraw it at any time in the app or your phone settings.
- Legitimate interest: service security, fraud and cheating prevention, technical logs.
5. What other players see
Your nickname, scores, points and rank appear in leaderboards and in the leagues you join. Your email address is never shown to other players.
6. Who we share your data with
We do not sell or rent your data. Only the providers needed to run the service have access to it:
- OVHcloud: hosting of our servers and database, in the European Union.
- Expo (650 Industries, USA), Apple (APNs) and Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging): delivery of notifications, if you allowed them.
- Google, Apple or Meta (Facebook): only if you choose to sign in with their service, under their own privacy policies.
- Vercel: hosting of the interactive-pitlane.com website.
- Authorities, when the law requires it.
Some of these providers are located outside the European Union (notably in the United States). These transfers rely on the safeguards provided by the GDPR (adequacy decision or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses). Formula 1 results shown in the app come from a sports data provider: we do not send it any data about you.
7. Retention
- Account and game data: for as long as your account exists.
- Notification token: until you turn notifications off or delete your account.
- Server technical logs: 14 days.
- After account deletion: see section 8.
8. Deleting your account
In the app: Profile → Settings → Delete my account. Deletion is immediate:
- your predictions, runs, badges, notification tokens and notification history are erased;
- you leave your leagues (league ownership passes to another member, or the league is deleted if you were alone);
- your XP and streaks are reset;
- your email address and password are replaced, the account is deactivated and the link to your Google, Apple or Facebook identifier is removed;
- if you signed in with Apple, we revoke IPL's access with Apple.
You can also request deletion by email at info@beebopcity.com. Without an account, uninstalling the app erases the data stored on your device.
9. Security
Traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted (HTTPS/TLS), passwords are stored as hashes, and server access is restricted. No system is infallible: in the event of a data breach affecting you, we will notify you and the competent authority as required by the GDPR.
10. Minimum age
IPL is intended for people aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13; if you believe we have, write to us and we will delete the account.
11. Your rights
You can request access to your data, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, object to processing, or receive a copy (portability) by writing to info@beebopcity.com. We reply within one month. You can also lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority or the authority of your country of residence.
12. The interactive-pitlane.com website
The website sets no cookies and uses no analytics. Its host (Vercel) processes visitors' IP addresses to serve pages and ensure security.
13. Changes
We will update this policy if our practices change (for example if a new feature needs other data). The date at the top shows the latest version; for significant changes we will let you know in the app.
