TIMESLIP PRIVACY POLICY


Last updated: May 5, 2026


Introduction

TimeSlip ("we," "our," or "us") is a drag racing performance tracking application. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.


Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information


Username or email address (used for login)

Display name (chosen by you)

Avatar selection

2.2 Vehicle Information


Vehicle name, make, model, year, and type

Vehicle photos (only if you choose to add them)

2.3 Performance Run Data


Acceleration timing metrics (0–20, 0–40, 0–60, 0–100 MPH; 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 mile splits)

Maximum speed and total distance per run

Peak G-force and reaction time

Timestamp and associated vehicle for each run

2.4 Leaderboard Data

When a run is saved, your display name, vehicle name, vehicle type, avatar, and best time are posted to the public leaderboard.


2.5 Chat Messages

If you use Worldwide Chat, your display name and message text are stored and visible to other users.


2.6 Friends & Nearby Discovery

We store your friend list (usernames). If you use the "Discover Nearby Friends" feature, your approximate location (latitude/longitude) is temporarily stored to match you with nearby users. This is only collected when you actively use that feature.


2.7 Subscription Status

We store whether you have an active Premium subscription and its expiry date.


Device Sensors

During a run only, TimeSlip accesses:


Accelerometer — to measure G-force and estimate acceleration

GPS/Location — to measure speed and distance

Raw GPS coordinates are used only for in-session distance calculations and are never stored to our servers. Only the resulting speed and distance values are saved.


Location access is requested as "While Using the App" only and is never collected in the background.


How We Use Your Information

To record and display your performance run history

To post your best times to the global leaderboard

To enable the Worldwide Chat and Friends features

To manage your Premium subscription

To improve app performance and fix bugs

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.


Third-Party Services

5.1 Google Firebase

We use Firebase Authentication and Firestore to store your account, vehicles, runs, and subscription data. Firebase is subject to Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy


5.2 Google AdMob

Free users see ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect your device's advertising identifier (AD_ID) to serve relevant ads. You can opt out of personalized ads in your device settings. AdMob is subject to Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on your device (local cache) and in Google Firebase (cloud sync). We use industry-standard security practices. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.


Children's Privacy

TimeSlip is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.


Your Rights

You may:


Delete your account and all associated data by contacting us

Request a copy of your stored data

Opt out of the leaderboard by not saving runs publicly
