Privacy Policy for KartWise Pro
Last updated: Wednesday, April 8, 2026
1. Introduction
KartWise Pro ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application, KartWise Pro (the "App"), collects, uses, and stores your information.
2. Information We Collect
For a better experience, while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, as well as racing-related data including driver profiles, kart setup parameters (e.g., gearing, chassis settings), and performance metrics (e.g., lap times). This data is used to provide the app’s core functionality, including history tracking and AI-powered performance analysis.
A. Personal Identity & Authentication
When you sign in using Google Login, we collect the following authenticated information:
Name and Email Address: Used to create your user profile and secure your account.
User ID: A unique identifier linked to your Google account to persist your data across devices.
B. Driver Profiles (Sensitive User Inputs)
To provide contextual karting analysis, we collect the following data points that you voluntarily enter:
Driver Attributes: Name, Age, Date of Birth, and Weight.
Country of Residence: Used for regional localization.
Important Note: Driver Weight and Age are collected strictly for physics calculations and historical session context (e.g., analyzing lap times relative to total vehicle mass, identifying age/weight classification). This data is not used for health monitoring, medical diagnosis, or fitness tracking.
C. Device & Sensor Data
Audio: Microphone access for voice-to-text commands.
Location: Precise or Coarse location for sorting tracks and fetching local weather.
Media: Camera/Gallery access for analyzing visual queries.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use your data for the following specific purposes:
Account Management: Your Name/Email ensures you can log in and retrieve your history on any device.
Karting Optimization: Your Weight may be used to calculate optimal seat positions and setup configurations based on physical variables.
Session History: We store your entered data to build a timeline of your performance, allowing you to review past setups relative to your age or weight class at that time.
Service Execution: Audio and Images are processed by third-party AI to answer your specific technical queries.
To help you drive faster, we may use Aggregated Data to generate community benchmarks, track averages, and predictive performance models. Aggregated Data is derived from your setup logs (e.g., 'Average Tyre Pressure at Whilton Mill') but is anonymized so that it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity.
We use this non-personal data to:
Train our race engineering algorithms.
Show you how your setup compares to the field (Global Trends).
Improve the accuracy of our baseline recommendations.
Note: We will never share your specific, identifiable setup notes or personal feedback with other users without your explicit consent.
4. Data Sharing and Third-Party Services
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with necessary infrastructure providers:
Authentication: Google Firebase Authentication handles your login credentials securely.
Cloud Database: Your Profile and Session History are stored in a secure cloud database (e.g., Firebase) to prevent data loss.
AI Processing: Google Gemini API processes ephemeral audio/visual inputs, and kart setup and performance data to provide analysis and setup recommendations.
Weather: Location data is sent to weather providers to fetch track conditions.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
Persistent Storage: Your User Profile, Driver Stats (Weight/DOB), and Session History are stored as part of your account to provide your history and progress tracking. This data is retained until you choose to delete it.
Ephemeral Processing: Raw Audio files and images processed via API for analysis are processed ephemerally and are not stored on our servers after the initial analysis is complete.
Model Improvement: We may retain anonymized technical data (such as kart settings and lap times) stripped of all personal identifiers. This data is used exclusively for research and the improvement of our AI recommendation models.
Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of your account and all associated personal data at any time. You can do this via the "Delete Account" feature in the App settings or by contacting us at kartwisepro@gmail.com. Upon a deletion request, all personally identifiable information will be permanently erased.
6. Children’s Privacy
Our App is not intended for children under 13 without parental consent. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
