Privacy policy
What we hold, why we hold it, and how to get rid of it.
Last updated 15 Aug 2026
Written to describe what the site actually does, but not reviewed by a lawyer. Have it checked against UK GDPR and any other market you operate in before launch.
The short version
You can read Pit Lane Daily without an account and without telling us who you are. If you make an account we store your email address and the things you choose to follow. We do not sell anything about you.
What we collect
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | You create an account | To sign you in and contact you about the account |
| Drivers, teams, circuits and outlets you follow or ignore | You choose them | To build your feed |
| A personal feed token | You ask for an RSS link | To let a feed reader fetch your feed without signing in |
| Email address | You join the newsletter | To send it, until you unsubscribe |
| Server logs | Every request | Security and debugging; kept briefly |
We do not ask for your name, address or payment details unless and until paid membership exists, and this page will change before that happens.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent your data.
- We do not build advertising profiles or track you across other sites.
- We do not use analytics that identify you personally.
Who else is involved
Running the site means other companies process some data on our behalf:
- Our hosting and database providers — they store the data described above.
- Our authentication provider — handles sign-in, password resets and the session cookie.
- Publishers you click through to — once you follow a link, you are on their site under their policy, not ours.
Article images are shown directly from the publisher's own servers. That means your browser requests the picture from them, so they can see that a request was made. We send no referrer with those requests.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Deleting your account removes your follows, preferences and feed token. Write to privacy@example.com and we will respond within a month.
Your personal feed link
The RSS link on your feed page contains a secret token. Anyone who has that link can read your feed, so treat it like a password — and if you share it by accident, reset it from the same page, which immediately breaks the old one.
Children
Pit Lane Daily is not aimed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes materially we will say so on the site rather than quietly editing the date at the top.
