Formula GP Calendar 2026
Last updated 8 September 2026
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this privacy policy (“Policy”). This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide (“Personal Information”) in the “Formula GP Calendar 2026” mobile application (“Mobile Application” or “Service”) and any of its related products and services (collectively, “Services”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that Personal Information. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your Personal Information and how you can access and update it.
This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you” or “your”) and this Mobile Application developer (“Operator”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By accessing and using the Mobile Application and Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Policy. This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.
The short version. Formula GP Calendar works without an account. We do not sell your data, we do not run advertising, and we do not use third-party analytics or tracking. Your championship predictions and your favourite driver and team stay on your device and in your own iCloud. The only Personal Information we ever store on our servers is an email address you type in yourself, and only if you choose to.
You can download and use the Mobile Application without creating an account and without telling us who you are. The race calendar, session times, results, championship standings, race summaries, themes and notification settings all work without any Personal Information.
Some optional features involve information that either stays on your device or, in one case, is stored by us:
| Information | When it is collected | Where it is stored |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | Only if you type it in when sealing your season predictions, so that we can remind you to open them at the end of the season. | On our servers (Supabase), together with a random device identifier and the app version. This is the only Personal Information we store. |
| Sealed predictions | When you seal your championship predictions in the app. | On your device, and in your own iCloud account (key-value storage) so they survive reinstalling the app. We cannot read your iCloud. |
| Favourite driver and team | When you choose them in Settings. | On your device and in your own iCloud account. Your choice also determines which notification topics your device subscribes to (see below). |
| Push notification token | If you allow notifications. | With Apple and with Google Firebase Cloud Messaging, which delivers our notifications. See “Push notifications”. |
| Purchase status | If you buy GP Calendar Pro. | With Apple and with RevenueCat, our subscription management provider. See “Purchases and subscriptions”. |
| App settings | As you use the app (theme, notification sounds, notification preferences, cached race data). | On your device only. |
You can choose not to provide us with your email address, in which case you simply will not receive the end-of-season reminder; every other feature continues to work. Users who are uncertain about what information is mandatory are welcome to contact us.
We do not collect your name, your postal address, your phone number, your precise or approximate location, your contacts, your photos, or your health data. The Mobile Application does not ask for these permissions.
We recognize the need to provide further privacy protections with respect to Personal Information we may collect from children under the age of 13 and take many special precautions to protect their privacy. We do not require any Personal Information from children at any time. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided Personal Information to us through the Mobile Application and Services, please contact us to request that we delete that child’s Personal Information from our Services.
We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Information through the Mobile Application and Services without their permission.
We act as a data controller when handling Personal Information collected through the Mobile Application. Any of the information we collect from you may be used for the following purposes:
Processing your Personal Information depends on how you interact with the Mobile Application and Services, where you are located in the world and if one of the following applies: (a) you have given your consent for one or more specific purposes; (b) provision of information is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof; (c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which you are subject; (d) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.
We rely on your consent as the legal basis upon which we collect and process your email address and send you push notifications. You may withdraw that consent at any time, by turning notifications off in Settings or by asking us to delete your email address.
If you allow notifications, your device registers with Apple Push Notification service and with Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (“FCM”), which we use to deliver notifications. This registration creates a device token. We do not store that token on our own servers and we do not maintain a list of who our users are.
Our notifications are sent to topics rather than to individuals: your device subscribes itself to the topics that match your settings, for example the topic for the driver you marked as your favourite. Because of this design, we cannot tell which notifications reached which person, and we cannot target an individual user.
You can turn any category of notification off at any time in the app’s Settings, or turn off notifications entirely for the Mobile Application in the iOS Settings app. Doing so unsubscribes your device from the corresponding topics.
GP Calendar Pro is sold as an in-app purchase. All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see or receive your payment card details, your billing address, or your Apple Account credentials.
We use RevenueCat to verify purchases and to keep your Pro access working across your devices. For this purpose, Apple’s purchase receipt and an anonymous, randomly generated app user identifier are shared with RevenueCat. This identifier is not linked to your name or email address. RevenueCat processes this information as our service provider.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in the App Store settings on your device. Deleting the Mobile Application does not cancel a subscription.
Race weekend weather forecasts are provided by Apple Weather. Forecasts are requested for the fixed coordinates of the race circuit — never for your location. The Mobile Application does not request or use location permissions.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your Personal Information. Depending on the requested Services, we rely on the following service providers, and share with them only what is necessary for them to perform their function:
| Provider | Purpose | What is shared |
|---|---|---|
| Apple | App distribution, in-app purchases, push delivery, iCloud sync, weather forecasts | Purchase receipts, push tokens; iCloud content is stored in your own account |
| Google Firebase Cloud Messaging | Delivering push notifications | Push notification token, topic subscriptions |
| RevenueCat | Verifying and restoring purchases | Purchase receipt, anonymous app user identifier |
| Supabase | Hosting our backend and storing the optional reminder email | Email address you provided, random device identifier, app version |
| Anthropic | Generating the written race summaries shown after each Grand Prix | Publicly available race timing data only — no Personal Information |
Race schedules, results, and timing data are obtained from public motorsport data sources. No information about you is sent to them.
We may also disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights or property, or protect the personal safety of users of the Services or the public.
We retain the email address you provided until the end-of-season reminder has been sent and, in any case, no longer than necessary for that purpose, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. You may ask us to delete it sooner at any time.
Information stored on your device or in your iCloud account is retained until you delete the Mobile Application or clear that data yourself. Purchase records are retained by Apple and RevenueCat in accordance with their own policies and applicable tax and accounting obligations.
The Operator is based in Türkiye, and our service providers operate infrastructure in the European Union and the United States. This means your information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than your own. Where such transfers involve Personal Information originating in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, they are made on the basis of appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses agreed with the relevant service provider.
Out of respect for your privacy, we have implemented additional measures to comply with the obligations and rights associated with the collection of Personal Information as dictated by the laws governing the regions of our users.
If you are a resident of the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area (“EEA”), or the United Kingdom (“UK”), you have certain rights in relation to your Personal Information based on the GDPR and the UK DPA. These include: the right to withdraw consent; the right to access your Personal Information; the right to rectification; the right to object to processing; the right to restrict processing; the right to erasure; the right to data portability; and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
If you are located in Türkiye, you have rights under the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (“KVKK”), including the right to learn whether your personal data is processed, to request information about such processing, to learn the purpose of processing and whether the data is used accordingly, to request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data, to request erasure or destruction of your personal data, and to object to a result arising from analysis of your data by automated systems. Requests can be made using the contact details below.
If you are a resident of the United States, you may have certain privacy rights under applicable state privacy laws, including but not limited to the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, “CCPA”), the Colorado Privacy Act, the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act. These rights include the right to know and access the Personal Information we hold about you, the right to correct it, the right to delete it, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information, the right to opt out of targeted advertising and profiling, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. We do not sell or share Personal Information, we do not serve targeted advertising, and we do not carry out profiling.
If you are a resident of Canada, you have rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), including the right to access the Personal Information we hold about you, the right to have it corrected, the right to withdraw consent subject to legal or contractual limitations, the right to complain to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and the right to be notified of breaches that pose a real risk of significant harm.
If you are a resident of Australia or New Zealand, you have rights under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 or the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 respectively, including the right to access and correct your Personal Information, the right to complain to the relevant privacy authority, and — because the Mobile Application can be used without identifying yourself — the right to interact with us anonymously.
If you reside in a country not specifically mentioned in this Policy, we are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with internationally recognized privacy principles, and you may exercise rights similar to those outlined above by contacting us.
Any requests to exercise your rights can be directed to us through the contact details provided in this document. Because the Mobile Application does not use accounts, the fastest way for us to locate your record is for you to write to us from the same email address you entered in the app. We may ask you for information necessary to verify your identity before responding to such requests, and we will respond within the timescales provided by applicable data protection laws.
We do not use third-party analytics tools, advertising networks, or cross-app tracking technologies in the Mobile Application. We do not build profiles of our users, and the Mobile Application does not ask for permission to track you across other companies’ apps and websites.
We do not sell, share for cross-context behavioural advertising, rent, or trade Personal Information, and we have not done so in the preceding twelve months. If you would nonetheless like to record a request with us, you may contact us using the details below.
The Mobile Application and Services contain links to other resources that are not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other resources or third parties. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Mobile Application and Services and to read the privacy statements of each and every resource that may collect Personal Information.
We secure information you provide on servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Data in transit between the Mobile Application and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard transport security. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of Personal Information in our control and custody. However, no data transmission over the Internet or wireless network can be guaranteed.
Therefore, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, you acknowledge that (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and the Mobile Application and Services cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party, despite best efforts.
In the event we become aware that the security of the Mobile Application and Services has been compromised or Users’ Personal Information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including, but not limited to, security attacks or fraud, we reserve the right to take reasonably appropriate measures, including, but not limited to, investigation and reporting, as well as notification to and cooperation with law enforcement authorities.
In the event of a data breach, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals if we believe that there is a reasonable risk of harm to the User as a result of the breach or if notice is otherwise required by law. Where required, we will also report the breach to the relevant supervisory authority within the applicable statutory deadline.
We reserve the right to modify this Policy or its terms related to the Mobile Application and Services at any time at our discretion. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the top of this page. We may also provide notice to you in other ways at our discretion, such as through the contact information you have provided.
An updated version of this Policy will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Policy unless otherwise specified. Your continued use of the Mobile Application and Services after the effective date of the revised Policy will constitute your consent to those changes. However, we will not, without your consent, use your Personal Information in a manner materially different than what was stated at the time your Personal Information was collected.
You acknowledge that you have read this Policy and agree to all its terms and conditions. By accessing and using the Mobile Application and Services you agree to be bound by this Policy. If you do not agree to abide by the terms of this Policy, you are not authorized to access or use the Mobile Application and Services.
If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints regarding this Policy, the information we hold about you, or if you wish to exercise your rights, we encourage you to contact us:
We will attempt to resolve complaints and disputes and make every reasonable effort to honor your wish to exercise your rights as quickly as possible and in any event within the timescales provided by applicable data protection laws.
If you believe your concerns have not been adequately addressed, you may escalate the matter to the appropriate data protection authority in your region, in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
