Privacy Policy
Karting org.balusc.karting, published by BalusC.
Effective 1 November 2026.
Data this app collects
None. The app has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no crash reporting, and it sends nothing over the network. Nothing you do in the app is transmitted anywhere, and the developer receives no data about you or your device.
Data this app stores on your device
All of it stays in the app's private storage (KartingPrefs), readable only by the app:
- the race in progress: the track, the karts, where each kart is, the lap times so far and the skid marks
- the ghost of your best time trial lap per track and kart
- statistics per track and kart: races, best laps, best races and podium places
- your settings: theme, sound, vibration, kart color, speed unit, default zoom, ghost, flying start, sector times and racing line, and the track, laps, engine and grid you last picked
Uninstalling the app deletes all of it.
Android backup
The app allows Android's own backup and device-transfer mechanism to include KartingPrefs, so your statistics, ghosts and settings survive a device change. That copy is handled entirely by Android and your Google account settings, under Google's privacy policy — the developer has no access to it. Turning off backup in your device settings stops it.
Permissions
The app requests one permission, vibration, to buzz the phone when your kart is bumped and to rumble it on the grass or against a wall. Turning off Vibration in the app's settings stops it.
Children
The app collects no data from anyone, children included, and contains no ads, purchases, social features or external links.
